Crisis

As they flee from war and violence, Syrian refugees are trying to find better lives in other countries, whether it is temporary or permanent. Only recently has the refugee crisis been brought to people’s attention around the world, but it has been in existence since the Arab Spring in 2011. The Arab Spring brought about rebellion against Syria’s President al-Assad’s regime and Al-Assad fought back, creating a devastating civil war. Now, 4.6 million Syrians are seeking safe havens.

The overly buoyant crust will then start to rise which will release pressure on fault lines, thus triggering the tectonic plate movements that cause earthquakes” (“What Happens If Earth Runs Out Of Water”, 2015). Natural disasters related to water crisis have the power to destroy lands and there will be more casualties, this shows how horrific the outcome can be.

and should be addressed immediately. Glass (2010) suggests that “the population is increasing most rapidly in cities,” and so the availability of water is also decreasing. Population growth is commonly seen as a key factor that adds to the water crisis, the general idea being that the more people there are, the more water is needed. The number of humans is increasing most rapidly in areas where water is harder to attain. This idea is supported by Mazur (2012) analysed The World Bank’s…

The amount of space water covers gives the illusion of overabundance but our world is truly in a water crisis, more than one billion people in the world lack adequate access to water. Our water systems that we look to support our ecosystems are stressed, rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up at increasing rates or so polluted they are beyond use. This paper looks to briefly review two…

off. Towards the end of the day, we decided to watch Hercules ad I just started panicking really badly. My grief was finally setting in. What I experienced was an existential crisis. My mom supported me during the next couple weeks, seeing as we were both now experience grief. Almost a month after my existential crisis started, there was a memorial service for my father. The week before, I was helping my mom with the guest list. She was incredibly stressed, but it still doesn’t forgive what…

Alaska being one of them. In THE NEW OIL, by Jeneen Interlandi and Ryan Tracy, it states, “The city’s tiny population of fewer than 10,000 people makes this an embarrassment of riches” (Interlandi and Tracy). The article also stated in 2010: As the crisis worsens,…
