A major economic challenge facing America today would be is welfare system. Welfare was first made the job of the government during the Great Depression but ever since then, it has become a mismanaged economic burden in need of reform. One example of these welfare programs is Social Security, costing America 888 billion dollars a year and scheduled to use up its reserves by the year 2034, according to the Social Security Administration itself (United States. Board of Trustees…). Another program,…

I saw that a volcano near my house may erupt. Not only is it going to erupt, but it is predicted to be so big it may bring another ice age, but I’m not buying it. In the seventies it was global cooling, then the nineties brought global warming, when the models didn’t come to fruition they changed it to climate change in the two thousands. Now they are convinced they can tell that a volcano that has oozed as long as I can remember, hell as long as anyone can remember, is suddenly going to…

extermination of these species has on a habitat. In Caroline Williams’ article, Golden Opportunity, the author explores the affect the extinction species has on the habitat. In Jennifer Dunne’s journal ,Cascading extinctions and community collapse in model food webs, the author writes about the anthropogenic causes of species extinction and how that can lead to the endangerment and extinction of a secondary specie by taking a look at food webs in the…

the decisions of the managers of any organisation. Tax changes, new laws, trade barriers, demographic change and government policy changes are all examples of macro change. To help analyse these factors managers can categorise them using the PESTEL model. This classification distinguishes between: • Political factors. These refer to government policy such as the degree of intervention in the economy. What goods and services does a government want to provide? To what extent does it believe in…

Final Essay Have you ever imagined what would happen if the ozone layer was utterly destroyed and the amount of sun rays reaching the earth dramatically increased? In Naomi’s Klein book, This Changes Everything, the author elucidates how the increasing awareness of the adverse effects of extractive processes on the environment has triggered the formation of many environmental movements. Blockadia is one of the most recent movements that has adopted a different strategy compared to earlier ones.…

subtropical and tropical oceans in just a couple of years from now (Yara et al., 2014). Coral reefs are starting to feel the effects of climate change. Indeed, Coral reefs are becoming more and more sensitive to warmer temperatures coming from El Niño (Reaser et al., 2000). There are countless questions that need to be answered about their conditions. Why does global warming lead to coral bleaching? Is it due to the high acidity of the water? Second, Will the increasing amount of carbon in the…

The reviewed literature points to some degree of a relationship between climate change and violent conflict in Africa. However, the majorities of studies, especially those in West Africa employed descriptive research methods. This type of the investigation method, as we know it, do not make accurate predictions and do not determine cause and effect. Additionally, the vast majority of the literature heavily uses civil war and political violence datasets, as the dependent variables, which may be…

Global Climate Change Cannot be Ignored Imagine taking a vacation to New York during autumn to visit the city and enjoy its wonders. However, even though it is already mid-September, a hurricane warning blares throughout the streets. The vacation transforms into a dangerous situation and suddenly events such as hurricanes become more common even out of season. This scenario is likely to occur with the continuation of climate change because warmer temperatures will be able to fuel more powerful…

though. The Arctic Tundra has a very unique climate, long cold winters that average -20 to -30 degrees fahrenheit and the winds pick up more speed, causing it to snow more often than in the summer. Their are short cool summers that average 40 to 50 degrees fahrenheit with dry winds, it rains in the summer and occasionally snows. It doesn’t rain often, only 6-10 inches a year, including melting snow, and strong dry winds make the Arctic Tundra a desert-like climate. Since there’s not a lot of…

wide is the environmental climate changes due to global warming. Dr. Guy McPherson, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology & evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, informs “ Climate change is the sickness of our civilization, and the prognosis is bleak”(McPherson par 1). Even though, people tent to ignore the environmental changes that Earth is going trough, climate changes affect everyone. Cities need to become aware of the dangers that the climate changes can create…
