    Between high temperatures, infrequent rainfall and the sandy soil it makes it almost impossible for them to have farms and such to grow food to sell. It is pretty obvious that if the heat is too high and there is no rain to water the crops that nothing will grow and even if something does grow it will die soon or have poor quality.

This country is heavily dependent on foreign assistance to help support its finance development projects and balance payments (SOURCE 4).…

    With so many Americans making thousands upon thousands of dollars each year, how much of that money is used to help the starving, homeless, or any charities? Peter Singer, utilitarian philosopher and author of "The Singer Solution to World Poverty" divulges in his article his solution to world poverty that would not only help all others, but also allow those donating to continue to live comfortably: they would just be living with only the necessities to live. Although Singer does use persuasion techniques effectively in his article, he relies mainly on emotional appeal. The first techniques he uses is ethos which takes place in his very first paragraph.

    Introduction: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the world’s most precious marine ecosystems, has been deteriorating due to poor water quality (Kroon et al., 2016). One of the main reasons for this substantial decline in water quality over recent decades is agricultural runoff of nitrogen, pesticides/ herbicides and sediment (Figure 1). In fact, the water quality is most affected in the inshore areas in the southern and central regions near the most intensive agriculture. The impacts are biophysical in their effects on the marine animal and plants of the Reef. For example, coral cover declined about 50 percent from 1985-2013 (Brodie et al., 2013, p.2).…

    Economic development is the progress of a country based on its social, political, and economic growth. It focuses more on improving the standards of living of the society by developing the health, education, employment, and economic policies of the country.

A survey done by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) shows that during the last quarter of 2014 the Philippines unemployment rate reached 27% which is equivalent to 12.4 million Filipinos (Flores, 2015). The lack of job opportunities impedes the Filipinos of having a chance to be able to acquire income, thus leading to a higher poverty incidence.…

    The feasibility studies conducted by the World Bank of a proposed irrigation project often gives much emphasis to physical engineering and technical aspects of the local areas, since irrigation projects are superficially considered to be a technical development. As a result, most of the important decisions and project planning are solely made by the technical experts, neglecting the socio-cultural context of the locale (Cernea 1991, p. 43). To illustrate, in the sub-Saharan Africa the rate of failure of irrigation development projects have been significantly high for three decades, from 1970-1990 (Djagba et al. 2013, p. 334). The factors identified as the causes of the failure of these irrigation developments are: i) insufficient participation…
