We are going to do a detailed investigation about the bioterrorism. We are going to make questions to ourselves are related with this topic, the most important questions that we can study and respond are:
1.-Which are the origins of the bioterrorism?
2.-Give some examples of the weapons that man has created throughout history
3.-Which characteristics does this topic have?
4.-Which countries are more related with thisproblem?
5.-Which are the most affected countries on this problem?
6.-Which is the purpose of a biological weapon?
7.-What is doing the UNO about this problem?
8.-How this problem can affect the emvironment?
9.-Do you think that the TV can affect this problem?
10.-What we can do to prevent a biological war?
We are going to do a detailed summary about the interventions that this problem has had through out history and the changes that this could provoke along the development of the human race.

To make an introduccion of this topic we can start to taking about the bioterrorism on the history and the origins of this Biological terrorism dates as far back as ancient Roman civilization, where dead and rotting animals were thrown into wells to poison water supplies. (Bock,2001) This early version of biological terrorism was used to destroy enemy forces covertly. It continued on into the 14th century where the bubonic plague was used to infiltrate enemy cities by both instilling the fear of infection in residences, in hopes that they would evacuate, and also to destroy defending forces that would not yield to the attack. The use of disease as a weapon in this stage of history exhibited a lack of control the aggressor’s had over their own biological weapon. Primitive medical technology provided limited means of protection for the aggressor and a battles surrounding geographical regions. After the battle was won, the inability to contain enemy’s who escaped death lead to wide spread epidemics affecting not only the enemy forces, but also surrounding regions inhabitants. Due to the use of these biological weapons, and the apparent lack of medical advancement necessary to defend surrounding regions from them, wide spread epidemics such as the bubonic plague quickly moved across all of Western Europe, destroying a large portion of its population. The victims of biological terrorism in fact became weapons themselves. This was noted in the Middle Ages, but medical advancements had not progressed far enough to prevent the consequences of a weapons use. (Eitzen and Takafuji, 1997)
In the 15th century, smallpox was used on contaminated clothing to defeat South American and Native American forces. (Bock, 2001) Again, the use of biological weapons for which limited protection and containment was available, lead to casualties on both sides of battles. Bioterrorism continued to be an effective method of weakening an adversary but it was also difficult to contain. In the Revolutionary War, colonists were vaccinated from the small-pox virus and then used the virus to intentionally infect enemies. This demonstrates a major advancement in the evolution of bioterrorism. Once the ability to defend from biological warfare became possible through medical advancement, the weapons became far more valuable.
As time continued, and use of biological warfare became more and more sophisticated. Countries were developing weapons that delivered much higher effectiveness and less chance of infecting the wrong party. One significant enhancement in biological weapon development was the first use of Anthrax. Anthrax effectiveness was initially limited to victims of large dosages. This became a weapon of choice because it is easily transferred, has a high mortality rate, and can be easily obtained. Also, variants of the Anthrax bacterium can be found all around the world making it the biological weapon of choice in the early 19th century. Another property of Anthrax that helped fuel its use as a biological weapon is its poor ability to spread far beyond the targeted population. At this part we can see that this menaze is more than a simple problem it is a problem since the acient age.

Our work it is an interesting topic for all the world in our age. Diferent contries in special AsianS an Arabs Aare more relatinated with this global problem. Bioterrorism refers to the use of lethal biological agents to wage terror against a civilian population. It differs from biological warfare in that it also thrives on public fear, which can demoralize a population. Biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons can all be used to achieve similar destructive goals, but unlike chemical and nuclear technologies that are expensive to create, biological weapons are relatively inexpensive. They are easy to transport and resist detection by standard security systems. In general, chemical weapons act acutely, causing illness in minutes to hours at the scene of release. For example, the release of sarin gas by the religious sect Aum Shinrikyo in the Tokyo subway in 1995 killed 12 and hospitalized 5,000 people. In contrast, the damage from biological weapons may not become evident until weeks after an attack. If the pathogenic (disease-causing) agent is transmissible, a bioterrorist attack could eventually kill thousands over a much larger area than the initial area of attack. This is a problem that it is handle with a extreme caution. The ONU and anpther organizations wants to stop this menaze. The UEA is one of the principals contries that want to put an end to this. In this work you are going to fin d the hirtory and all the datails and information realted with this topic.

The topic that I choose is named "Space- Age Living". I choose this topic cause is really interesting for me and all the topics relationated with the space and the universe. This topic in special attracted my atention. The topic is about the (ISS) Internacional Spece Station, this is a mega proyect if I can say it cause, well in my opinion is something that has never been seen. Sexteen nations are giving millon of dollars for this proyect, nations like Rusia, the United States, Brazil, Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Britain, etc. The station is in construccition it is supposed that the station is big as 2 fotball fields, this station its going to allow to this contries to make more proyects of investigation.The station is orbiting the earth at the asowme velocity of 17,500 miles per hour and even it missing parts in the station, it supposed that are going to be 100 parts. If you want to check the site this is the link
