It is common knowledge that as the population increases at such an astronomical, record breaking speed, more resources are impacted. One of these resources is water, the basic building block of life. Water is essential for agriculture, drinking water, and wildlife. And due to the recent droughts California has faced, a debate has arisen over the question that baffles many; Whose water is it? The article published in The Fresno Bee (Fresno’s Mainstream Media), addresses this issue with a pun…
“In less than a decade, countries important to the US and global security will be at risk of “state failure. Water shortages will not occur everywhere, but hardly anyone will remain unaffected for long.” -Seth Siegel, author of Let There Be Water INTRO For human life to proceed, water is required, but its accessibility is lacking and will worsen unless water is managed differently. According to the World Wildlife Fund, 1.1 billion people worldwide do not have freshwater at hand, and 2.7…
“Water is the driving force of all nature.” - Leonardo da Vinci. Proteins and cells can do many remarkable things, however the thing that really brings them to life is water (Trabesinger 1).

Political cartoons are frequently made by artists to express their frustration with certain issues, politicians, and sometimes even the public as a whole. What initially appears to be a simply humorous cartoon is actually so much more. In these two cartoons, two completely unrelated issues are addressed: the Flint water crisis and global warming. Yet, both topics are discussed by displaying criticism that natural disasters are frequently disregarded until one’s career is at stake and even then,…
Water shortages have almost always been a problem for the arid Texas land, but the continued growth of the population in Texas has exacerbated the problem quite a bit. Fortunately, the government and residents of Texas have multiple steps they can take to mitigate the effect of an ever-increasing population on our limited water supply. At least three things that the Texas government could do would be to fix our current water system infrastructure to prevent useless water loss, build pipelines to…
California, a state with lush greenery and a seemingly perfect weather, has been attracting various people throughout history. However, what one does not realize is that California is in fact, an illusion. California has been plagued with a drought for a couple years, and the lush greenery seen on TV and postcards are from the effects of transferring water from thousands of miles away. Because of this, California has achieved the false appearance of looking very lush and vibrant. The epidemic of…
I have cross-referenced them with the symptoms of several mental conditions, and I have discovered, what I believe is the cause of Eric’s behavior. I think that Eric’s condition is co-morbid, and that he has both Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder.
