Obviously, the data came from a very specific population: male college students and a male professor who were entering the university library. Therefore, we cannot state that the findings can be applied to any population who does not exactly fall into the category of “male college student attending Coastal Carolina University” or “male professor teaching at Coastal Carolina University”, for the data would not be an appropriate representation. There are students and professors who were already at the library prior to data collection, students and professors who did not or perhaps never go to the library, female students and professors of the university, and individuals who do not attend the university. All of these individuals, and more, were excluded from the sample and, thus, cannot be generalized by the results of this investigation. Even though the sample size utilized was small, there is an indication that religious affiliation does not affect a person’s attractiveness. For this reason, a larger sample size may not cause the results to show a significant effect of religious affiliation on attractiveness. Now, in contrast, there is a possibility…

County, South Carolina barrier island, intending to build single family homes such as those on the immediately adjacent parcels. During that time, the lots weren’t subject to the State’s coastal zone building permit requirements. In 1988, the state legislature enacted the Beachfront Management Act. This act prohibited Lucas from building any permanent habitable structures in his parcels. David decided to file a lawsuit against the respondent state agency, stating that he understands that the Act…
When coastal plants store carbon in sediment by sequestering carbon dioxide through photosynthesis it is called “coastal blue carbon.” It was found that over the course of a year one acre of North Carolina salt marsh meadow could sequester two to three times as much carbon as one acre of tropical rainforest. Researchers calculated that the 124 living shorelines on the North Carolina coast could sequester 64 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is equal to burning 7,500 gallons of gasoline.…
The Carolinas would have been a good choice for multiple reasons one of which colonist were given headrights by the government for moving to Carolina. A headright means they were given land for settling in the area with this land would make it easier to start a farm or plantation in order to become prosperous. The Carolinas’ land was very fertile and good for growing crops and there was also a harbor making trading an easier task. The land was especially fertile in South Carolina so I would…

South Carolina is an important state to this nation. South Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies, yet its history dates back to 1633. Royal nobles were sent by King Charles I to explore and settle the…
By increasing the length of the jetty at Kirra Point, stops longshore which decreases sand on Kirra. The extension of 30m onto the groyne improves and brings back the surf-break which was destroyed when they initially put the groynes at Kirra Point. By removing the dunes you are taking away the volume of sand on the beach, it increases the risk of erosion when storms occur. It also protects coastal resources from damage of large tides which wash away the sand dunes. Sand Dunes are there to…
Climate change is severely effecting our beaches in Victoria and across Australia. About 24% of the Victorian coast in rock shore, the majority of which is classified as cliffs. While a lot of the coast is still sandy much of this is also classified as a rocky coast with at least 20% of the coast being sandy beaches backed by rock. Coastal areas in Victoria already have some risk of exposure to natural hazards without worsening effects of climate change. For example, Lakes Entrance in East…
Waves can cause coastal or shoreline erosion, taking sand from the beach and leaving the cliff line exposed. This can lead to the beaches themselves being ruined and land, houses, businesses and property being lost to the sea. My essay will specifically look at this problem in Lyme Regis, where my family is from. Lyme Regis is in Dorset, England in the World Heritage Site known as The Jurassic Coast.(1) It is build on Blue Lias which dates back to the Jurassic times and it is like clay. Many…
