Demography

The United States (U.S.) is expected to become more diverse with steady population growth until 2050 in which demographic shifts such as race, ethnicity, and age will necessitate understanding the needs of this diverse population to initiate health and preventative programs (Pérez & Luquis, 2014). The purpose of this paper is to describe demographic characteristics for the city of Franklin, Ohio to include the demographic makeup, ethnicity, and illness and health status; identify trends and…

Environmentalists like to use the metaphor of Earth as a “spaceship” to imply that the world possesses an infinite amount of resources available. However, in reality, the depletion of Earth’s energy and resources imposes a serious risk on the environment and well-being of future generations, such as your children. As Garrett Hardin explains in his article “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor”, the world resembles more of a “lifeboat” where the wealthy are in the lifeboat, while…

I have been with Simcity4 for a period of one year and it is unbelievable how fast time goes by especially when you are trying to accomplish the people’s business. It is my pleasure to report to you that my team and I have been engaged at all levels with city leaders and community members in an effort to move this city forward in a positive way. One obvious thing that I have noticed in the past one year is that this city has seen a sharp increase in its population growth. Some of the growth can…

All animals have a certain set lifespan that occurs within a particular range. For instance, the end of a lifespan at the farthest age is typically around 116 years, give or take a few years. This is why no matter how healthy we are, we will not live to say 3000 years, which is considered the maximum lifespan of the sequoia tree. There are great differences across species with respect to lifespan therefore this must be a strong biological aspect to a species maximum life span. One speculation is…

Asian Americans Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority populations in the United States and the number is expected to increase significantly from 18 million in 2010, to 34 million in 2050 (Hastings et al., 2015). Although the number of Asian Americans is constantly growing, research has been limited within the subgroups and only some of the subgroups are being reported. For example, national death registries allow researchers to study population health and look at trends. The problem…

Amirah Ahmad February 12, 2017 POS-2150 POS 2150- STUDY QUESTIONS for CHAPTER 4- INDIA 1. According to the text, why is India a study in contrasts?

Tips for Healthy Aging and Quality Of Life Studies reveal that (on average) you will live ten years longer than your parents, but, a lot more than that, you have the ability (depending on choices) to live healthier too. On the basis of research performed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 13% of Americans were 65 or older in 2010; by 2030 nearly 20 percent of our population is going to be 65+. Knowing that we are going to live longer, what are the best ways to make sure…

My hypothesis claimed that if seedlings are exposed to larger wavelengths of light, then their mass will gradually increase because of the greater amount of nutrients reaching the seedlings. The data provided during the experiment proves this hypothesis incorrect. Group D received 150 micrometers of light, which was the greatest amount of light for any group. According to the hypothesis, this plant would grow the most of the six groups. This, however, wasn't the case. In fact, Group D was among…

In North Korea, sixty two percent of the whole population relies on either biweekly or monthly rations. Some of these people are in desperate situations, while others are not. On average, forty percent of the population urgently needs food assistance. Two thirds of the country do not have a constant meal plan and are fighting for food. This adds up to about 2.8 million people that are fighting chronic malnutrition and food insecurity. In previous decades, North Korea has been agriculturally…

Muslims in Canada have a proud history of achievements and accomplishments, ever since their initial settlements in the nineteenth century. One such achievement and accomplishment is the establishment of one of the first ever all-purpose built mosques and community centers in North America – Al Rashid Mosque in 1938, where the faithful worshiped, the community celebrated and generations grew and prospered. That historical building now resides in an open-air museum at Fort Edmonton Park in the…
