Because there is only 1.5 laparoscopes per trained team, the laparoscope is a very valued, but at the same time scarce commodity. The same laparoscope is often re-used in an effort to perform as many sterilizations as possible while there is still adequate light, water, or surgical team presence, and therefore proper instrument sterilization and cleaning procedures are often not followed. Even though there is no known data linking this kind of procedure to an increase in infections or…

In the early 1960s, the agricul tural sector suffered from low commodity prices while the oil boom contributed to the negative growth of agriculture in the 1970s. The boom in the oil sector…

Martin Luther King said, “ unlike plagues of the Dark Ages or contemporary diseases we do not understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess. What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution the universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and education of the billions who are its victim.” In the world a very important issue is overpopulation. Many people are not aware of the human and environmental impacts…

Many students feel that they are simply too tired to focus on their daily coursework. This is due to their lack of sleep. Early school start times prevent students from getting the 8-11 hours of sleep children and teenagers really need. Some people argue that school should not start later, but I strongly believe that the school 's start time should be pushed back towards 9 a.m. This additional hour will allow students to have a good night 's rest which will increase their probabilities of…

human population escalated to five- hundred million. Between two hundred years, the human population escalated nearly to seven billion people, taking twelve years for the newest population rise by one billion.

high GDP growth – averaging at 10% per year – has lifted 500 million people out of poverty , and is a clear demonstration of the success of both extensive economic strategies and prosperous social policies undergone.…

In order to have development you need growth in “capital stock, employment, investment, savings, consumption, government speeding, imports, and exports” (Economy & Growth). When one of these starts to grow the development will also start to rise. For Nigeria I am going to focus on their exports of goods and services. Nigeria’s export of goods consist of…

The balance between the conflict and coexistence of religion and science is extremely significant in a country that incorporates religion in their culture. As a Catholic pre-med student, I could genuinely relate to this. There are a lot of instances when sometimes I encounter inner conflicts when the academic teachings that I am exposed to contradicts the teachings from my personal faith. Some of these would include the debate about the origin of life or the controversial political issues that…

religion has been used to promote stability in a time of chaos. Proposition 8 has displayed how religion can support an idea and Christian nationalists have exhibited how religion can be used in attempts of authority. The result of religion on GDP growth in the United States has been studied and inconclusive results have been formed. Religion is a delicate and subtle way to change the economy, but its effects are felt in virtually each aspect of daily life…

In An Essay on the Principle of Population, Thomas Malthus warned that the growth of the world’s population would exceed the rate of food production. According to his theory, population increases exponentially while resources increase arithmetically. In other words, the land’s resources would eventually be unable to support everyone due to overpopulation. In order to control population growth, Malthus claimed that “moral restraint,” including abstinence and birth control, would lower the birth…
