In “Reading and Thought” by Dwight Macdonald, Macdonald raises the idea of reading deeply and how our society has changed its reading style. He points out that our modern society constantly reads irrelevant information in articles, newspapers, or magazines in our daily lives. A term called “functional curiosity” is a person’s interest in being amused, entertained or wanting to know what’s happening around the world. According to Henry Luce, the creator of Time magazine, “Functional Curiosity grows as the number of educated peoples grows.” Macdonald argues that being “functionally curious” is not functional because it does not help the individual function.

When Joe finally reached the shore, he was breathing like a bloke who had just swam two hundred metres on a surfboard.
Choosing the variables to capture the magnitude of the urban sprawl is the main challenge for the evaluation of the consequences of urban sprawl. One of the most well-known measures for assessing the urban sprawl employs variants of population density or developed areas as a proxy. However, the use of this kind of variables has been criticized for two main reasons. First, as pointed out by Hortas-Rico and Solé-Ollé (2010), there is no agreement regarding the right variables to capture density (density of housing units, population or employment), the extent of the space over which density should be characterized (total or urbanized area), and the scale at which density should be measured (metropolitan or municipality). Secondly, the density does not describe the urban areas properly, although it indicates the presence of scale of certain urban services, it fails showing the distribution of the
Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which is most used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power reactors. There are 99 commercial nuclear reactors in operation in US now and two-thirds of the reactors are pressurized water reactors. ("How Nuclear Power Works.") In the pressurized water reactors, the core water is held under pressure and the heat is transferred to water outside the core, boiling the outside water, generating steam, and powering a turbine. After the steam is used to power the turbine, it is cooled off to make it condense back into water.
