Surfing has grown exponentially over the past several decades and with it surf brands have exploded and surfing has become considerably more marketable. However, at one point in time, this did not seem like it would ever be possible. In the 1960’s there was a vast expansion of surf culture, but before that surfing was not seen as a popular activity. The counter-culture ways that were associated with the sport created a view that surfers were slackers and druggies as their time was largely spent…

Our lives all begin the same. We are created through the combined DNA of our mother and father and then we are born into the human existence. Some of us will be raised in an environment of love, support and open-mindedness while others will be born into a world of judgment, hate and narrow-mindedness. If we are lucky we will be born into an environment that provides us with an opportunity to grow, receive quality education and to parents who instill knowledge of the world and cultures around us…
Research Justification Globally, 27 million humans of both genders and a range of ages are enslaved (Adams, 2014). In the US, 17,500 humans are brought in each year “as victims of human trafficking” (Human Trafficking Ed., n.d.). Sadly, this number is actually estimated to be higher at 60,000 per year in the US (Human Trafficking Ed., n.d.). The Wake County sector of The Salvation Army points out that while drugs can be sold once, humans can be sold repeatedly (Adams, 2014). Not only does…
Rationality and self-interest are often measured relative to efficiency. However, this is not the only aspect that should commend the acceptability of a business sector’s technique of increasing profits and reducing cost.

Prisoners acquiring jobs in jail, no…

The authors state, “In the 1990s, because deregulation had been insufficient to invigorate the rather conservative British finance houses, these firms were taken over, largely by foreign, mainly US-based financial mega-players – this led to large…
College students are particularly susceptible to alcohol-impaired driving(15). Various studies among university students, mainly from high-income countries found high levels of drinking and driving(16). In the USA, almost 3.4 million college students drove under the influence of alcohol and while half of all traffic fatalities among 18–24 years old were alcohol related drink-driving and 41% of college student drinkers report driving after any alcohol use, 17% report driving after drinking five…
China’s economy has missed projections and is exhibiting growth in the single digits. For some, a slowdown in global economic growth could result in decreased demand for commodities and goods. Economies based largely on manufacturing like China and Indonesia will be faced with challenges that some Latin American countries will be relatively insulated from. Another opportunity stemming from the changing global economy is that the previous emerging economies like China, India, and the MINTs are…
“The idea that community or faith based charity were more efficient, effective and capable than the government of addressing ecological stringency hasn’t been true since the industrial revolution transformed the US from agrarian to an urban nation” (LA Times). When I was 14 years old, my mother, brother and I were evicted from my mothers then boyfriend’s house and forced to share a one bedroom apartment with no furniture. I would drink water to feel full and when we did get groceries, we would…
