There is no doubt that humans have influenced the environment. The evidence of our meddling can be found everywhere from anthropology to mathematics. No society is free of this burden, though some have a distinct impact apart from the whole. The current geological age is the Holocene, the time after the last Ice Age. The geologic period is typically determined by the largest influence on the Earth. Until the 1800’s, human impact on the planet had been relatively low- stable even. Around the time…

Through concentrating upon affiliations previously unacknowledged by historians and acquiring a contemporary viewpoint of the past, Sven Beckert successfully reconstructed the history of the commodity which dramatically aided in defining the modern, globalized era recognized today: cotton. In the notable work Empire of Cotton: A Global History, Beckert highlights not only cotton but the rise of capitalism which transpired simultaneously as the commodity revolutionized the globe and bridged the…

rarely the case. While their bodies may be declining, they are still incredibly mentally sharp and aware, and still present as every other information user: one that continuously seeks and uses information to meet their needs. During this time of exponential technological and information growth, everyone needs information to survive and thrive, and the elderly are no exception. They require information to stay healthy, make informed choices, and to remain current with the news and world…

Every summer there seems to be an exponential increase in the number of terrible videos on the news and the Internet that exhibit terrifying images of forests engulfed in flames and cities completely bogged down with smoke. When reading the section of Beowulf where the dragon gets mad and burns down the Geats’ homeland, the scene depicted in the poem is very similar to those scenes shown by the news. America’s wildfires may not come from a monstrous dragon, but they are just as damaging, and…

adding a better framework for trade. Trade with Mexico alone has increased quintupled while trade with non NAFTA nations has only doubled (Deeper, Better, NAFTA). Because of NAFTA, the US is maximizing its local area for profit as seen through the exponential increase in trade with member nations which…

Technology and employment have, generally, been as an inseparable unit when it came to efficiency. The second Industrial revolution was an essential example of job versus the presentation of innovation into the assembling field. Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the MIT Center, said that having this innovation didn't really expand efficiency toward the starting in light of the fact that they hadn't overhauled the plants to exploit power. With the consistent progression of innovation and the…

In one year, over 16 million women and 4 million men were sterilized, and another 14 million women had abortions. If you see this in relation to the numbers from the BBC video clip, the rate at which the population is growing goes from being exponential to linear. In other words, the number of years between each billion stabilizes, instead of a continued…

vaccine are that the virus could have a reproductive rate(R0) that is very high due to the fact that it could be easily transmitted by coughing, sneezing, hand shaking, etc. If one child comes in contact with another child, this could cause an exponential growth rate in the virus, making it almost impossible to quarantine all the children effected.…

The influential people seen on our nation’s currency should not be replaced but acknowledged and appreciated by anyone obtaining cash. Remembering the leaders who established our nation is far more important than having a favorite president on our money. Also, the process of changing faces is expensive and time consuming. The layout and design of our money is a symbol of our nation’s history, morals, and foundation. If leaders like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and…

$35,000, the average 11 years ago in 2004 was around $18,650. The amount of debt for graduates and their parents in 2015 will total in at about $68 billion dollars, The total student debt in the United States is 1.2 trillion dollars, which is an exponential increase from $260 billion in 2004. $3,000 more is added every minute, these loans are so big that a large number of these student have a lot of trouble paying them back, nearly one-third of these loans are at least 1 month late, around…
