Persuasive Speech On Radon Gas

Blake burns herself alive. The third stage of Plato’s Cave may show through the actions of Montage after Mrs. Blake ignites herself on fire and Montag begin to question why firemen burn books once he finds out the importance of literature. After the incident with Mrs. Blake Montag comes home to feel ill, and Mildred confronts him about Mrs. Blake and the books that burned in the fire. Mildred says, “She’s got you going and the next thing you know we’ll be out, no house, no job, nothing” (Bradbury 48). In the stage of freedom in The Allegory of the Cave Socrates Describes that a prisoner in the cave would then drag out of the cave by force.

For one, it can cause financial strain due to the high costs of obtaining memberships. For two, the health issues that result from indoor tanning can be deadly. Review Main Points: Indoor tanning not only damages the external portions of your body, but the exposure to UVA rays can literally burn your insides. Indoor tanning has become an addicting activity for people who start at a young age. Although many states made it illegal for minors to use tanning salons, and President Obama created a 10% tax on tanning, young people flock to the salons yearning for a bronze complexion.

Microwaves use radiation to cook your food, and surprisingly, this radiation “has enough energy to damage DNA and cause cancer” (Rolfo). If these radiation waves stayed inside the microwave, then there wouldn’t be a problem, but they don’t. When radiation enters your body, it does not eventually go away, but instead, it builds up over time until your body cannot cope with the amount of radiation. It is important to realize that “each exposure to radiation builds up in our body and the risk of cancer increases with each radiation exposure” (Bromberg and Covarrubias). Throughout your lifetime, as you are exposed to this radiation from your microwave, it slowly adds up and increases your risk for cancer.

The first designs included heat detectors and the ionization chamber was not mass produced until the 1970’s and cost around $125 with a few hundred thousand sold per year. However, a major concern that smoke detectors and fire alarms fail to address is electrical fires that occur within the walls of buildings. New developments in the 21st century use piezoelectric transducers to detect the sound of drywall expanding when exposed to rapid heating. This will be especially helpful when incorporated into buildings with extensive electrical systems as they have a higher risk of electrical fires. If I were a designer of fire alarms, I would design a device that had a piezoelectric transducer that was capable of detecting the slight difference in sound between a rapidly heated wall versus a normal wall.

The modern day family lives behind a dark cloak made up of secrets and lies. There is the wife left with physical and mental bruises inflicted upon her by a “loving” husband. Next door, there is a child hiding in the closet, avoiding their parents emotionally charged civil war. Across the street, the family of three is sitting at the dinner table with a plate meant for a mother who left ages ago. A few blocks down, there is a young man lying on his bed, contemplating weather his parents would notice him missing.

The first time Boo goes out of his house is to put the blanket on Jem and Scout while they watch the fire at Miss.Maudie's house. "Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you." (p.96) Atticus says this after Scout asks him who put the blanket around Jem and her. The second time Boo leaves his house is to save Scout and Jem from getting attacked by Mr.Euwell.

The National Geographic documentary talks about how stress is not a state of mind but something that can be measured. Stress also adds fat to our bellies and it is prone to killing brain cells. Stress is the body’s way of rising experience. Thirty years ago stress was mostly diagnosis as stomach ulcers which up till 1980 was the main factor. However, after

Refrigerators have a chemical in them called chlorofluorocarbon and when it mixes with the air it hurts earth's ozone layer. One last negative is that the price of the refrigerator is very high now. A refrigerator that is average right now would be at least 500 dollars to 1000 dollars. Refrigerators are helpful but

Mercury in high amounts is known to have negative neurological effects. The amount of mercury found in thimerosal was more than the amount approved by the FDA. Upon this discovery, the FDA made it mandatory for vaccine companies to either get rid of thimerosal or reduce the amount of it from the vaccines. In 2001 a comprehensive study by The Institute of Medicine concluded that there was not sufficient evidence linking mercury in vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders. Thimerosal is not used in most vaccines today except for a few influenza vaccines.

To answer these questions, I researched each disease and asked each person how they think they got the disease and what they would’ve changed so that never got the disease in the first place. My paternal grandfather had a heart disease and my grandmother had lung cancer. I asked my father how he thinks his parents could’ve prevented their deaths from these diseases and he said my grandmother smoked cigarettes and my grandfather didn’t like to go to the doctor. Simple changes could’ve saved my grandparents life but like I learned in the Escape Fire Documentary even if people know they know how to prevent a disease they are sometimes too stubborn to help themselves. My maternal uncle is 45 and the only person in our family with diabetes type 2, he is a veteran, smokes cigarettes and doesn’t take his medicine correctly which adds to him not being that healthy and his condition getting worst.

The house was small. It provided the only shade from the sun. There was a kitchen and two bedrooms. The kitchen also had a door built into the floor leading down to a room under the house. The gentleman and his wife kept their bedroom door closed, as I liked to sneak in to nap on their big bed.

Although it may seem that it is common knowledge that UV tanning beds are harmful to the human body, 7.8 million adult women and 1.9 million adult men in the United States still tan indoors. Thirty-five percent of American adults, 59 percent of college students, and 17 percent of teens have reported using a tanning bed in their lifetime. In Oregon, according to the FDA all sunlamp products must have a warning label, an accurate timer, an emergency stop control, and include an exposure schedule and protective goggles, but it should not stop there. There needs to be a heavier tax imposed on indoor tanning customers. Currently, there is a 10% tax that indoor tanners must pay.

I feel that fracking isn 't safe because not only do men die from being on oil drills but fracking leads to environmental hazards and shows society isn 't has far into the future as everyone thinks. Some people believe that the environment isn 't being harmed by everyday production, but one can argue that as people move closer to fracking industries, people become exposed to harmful gases and chemicals. Fracking a destructive force, is it safe, is it reasonable, is it right? As Chris Hedges explains in his article “Death By Fracking”, he says, “There are more than 15 million Americans, many of them children, who live within a mile of a fracking site. Most are being exposed daily to a deadly brew of toxins.

There are scientific reports that the flu death numbers are way too high. A pandemic swept through America and killed more people than the deaths associated at the time of WW1. {http://virus.stanford.edu/uda/} The flu virus is designed to help prevent widespread tragedies such as this. Pharmaceutical companies are powerful and use lots of money to push their drugs, called developments. Most cases, the drugs are not really needed, and all side effects are not proven before they are placed for public usage.
