process however both have different adaptations that allow them to live in either land or water. A diving beetle and a mayfly are both good examples of how insects have adaptations that allow them to live in the water and be fully submerged without drowning. Diving beetles swim to the surface of the water to collect air, the gas exchange process then occurs and oxygen is produced. When the beetle swims back under the water they have a system in which they conceal the oxygen in…

In this scenario, Hardin placed the reader into a metaphor where the passengers of a lifeboat represent the rich in their nation and those drowning as the citizens of poor nations.

A sentence before this passage he is says that…

teach them how to swim. Another reason is the student might be near water when a disaster occurs. The student will have to know how to swim in order to save himself. My final claim is there might be a friend or a stranger that can’t swim and are near drowning. In other words if the student took the class and learned how to swim they’ll be able to help save lives. People who disagree with me would probably say that students shouldn’t have to pass a swim test before graduating high school and…
