    Among the targets was for the United States to reduce the overall emissions to between twenty-six to twenty-eight percent by the year 2025. However, with the adverse effects that have been because of climate change not only in the United States but also in other parts of the world, the fight to reduce carbon emissions need not stop in 2025. There have been challenges implementing the goals set by President Obama especially with the current president reversing some of the laws especially on the use of coal in the production of electricity which the Congress can counter (Ser, 2017). The United States being a major contributor in terms of humanitarian aid to needy countries, should embrace policies that would reduce carbon emissions for it is better to use resources to curb climate change other than using those resources when a disaster which can be avoided strikes. Indeed, it would be more cost-effective for the United States to curtail carbon emission to reduce huge losses experienced because of hurricanes, heat waves, and…

    I had finally landed in China and I already realized how different the Chinese culture was. First the tone of voice that the Chinese use is much more soft and calm compared to the United States. They speak very softly with much more patients in their voice while Americans tend to speak louder and more rushed do some Chinese people think there being yelled at when talking to Americans because of how rushed we are.

    Carbon dioxide emissions, along with other greenhouse gasses, only exacerbate the problem, as they correlate nearly exactly with the planet’s rising temperatures (“Global Climate Change Impacts,” 2009). Earth has steadily been getting warmer over the past few centuries, mostly after the 1970’s (NASA). The amount of frost days have been steadily decreasing since the mid-1900’s, and the number of warm spells has been increasing since the 1980’s (Alexander et al., 2006). Even with efforts to reduce our influence on the climate, we have experienced all ten of the warmest years in the past twelve.…

    Last summer, I had an internship at the Chinese Culture Center in Chinatown. I mainly helped this non-profit organization to advertise its Chinatown Walking Tour, therefore, I got to learn about the history of Chinatown. The development of Chinatown deeply impressed me because it rose from oppression in American, and finally became the indispensable part in San Francisco by the contributions of millions of Chinese immigrants and Chinese American. Nevertheless, it was a laborious process because the Chinese were not accepted by Americans in the beginning. Even though they are the original Californians, they lived through much violence, and they earned only low salaries, so it is difficult to imagine how they survived it.…
