Income inequality is a big issue in socioeconomics justices, as always. While the U.S total personal incomes are growth higher, the income gap is getting wider, especially for those who are making minimum wage. Among the government’s efforts to narrow the income gap, minimum wage seems the only solution. In his final State of the Union address on January 12th, 2016, President Obama has proposed and asked the Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to 10.10 dollars an hour and indexing it to…

Controversy exists over whether biodiversity issues have negative impacts on the ecosystem and environment. While some well-intentioned people believe that the environment would not be affected by biodiversity (biological diversity) problems, I hold onto the view that biodiversity issues strongly influence ecosystems in that they not only effect on the land, but also will create significant challenges for the air and the water resources. Biodiversity is commonly defined as the variety of all…

A Murky Situation: The Flint Water Crisis Most Americans would readily agree that all people deserve the right to clean water, but the when they realize the large monetary commitment this requires, the water becomes murky, both literally and figuratively.

in the quantity of labor demanded. This means that there was a decrease in the amount of jobs available. There would be an excess amount of workers available causing unemployment. There will be too many workers available and not enough jobs for the supply of workers. This shows a negative impact that raising the minimum wage would cause to the…

the drinking water are superannuated in many places. However, local water supply agents do not have enough money to maintain and repair these water facilities and water treatment facilities because revenues have been dropping in recent years due to loss of water users. According to the weekly magazine Shukan Josei, the magazine features in reports that the costs of reservoir maintenance and repair for Tokyo’s water supply are highest in Japan.

Disaster Mitigation California is facing its fifth year in drought. (Center, 2016) The drought is estimated to cost the state of California $600 million dollars and 4,700 jobs this year.

What could help California during this time and in the future would be to incorporate disaster mitigation strategies during recovery phase and to find methods to help reduce the impact or occurrences of droughts.

I am originally from a small rural community in Ohio which has poor regulation on the air and water quality which humans depend on to sustain life. Throughout the city, hydraulic fracking has become a common method to obtain energy. This method of obtaining energy is misconceptualized to be a cleaner alternative to oil and coal, however, with a first hand on experience with living in this area allows me to witness otherwise. This city is known as Youngstown, Ohio. Hydraulic fracking is a…

Seven O’clock rolls around and I am slapping my alarm clock for that eight extra minutes. I get up and grab a cup of coffee, throw some clothes on and slam the door shut behind me hoping that I am not late to work for the second time this week. Work starts as usual, slow and unimportant, listening to people complain and waiting for orders to come so I can get my day started. I finally get the word and the day is underway, the only thing missing are the customers. It is often hard for me to…
