Throughout the 60 second spot, we see the process and the work of the factories employees particularly the manager of the plant, Kevin Fahrenkrog, put into transferring the normal beer distributor into a water distributor.

1) By a “commons”, Hardin refers to a shared resource, such as public land, National Parks, and the seas. One of Hardin’s most prominent example refers to herdsmen on commonly-shared land. Each herdsman will attempt to raise as much cattle as possible, Hardin argues, on the land. However, the land can only sustain a certain number of cattle. The tragedy occurs when each herdsman continues to add more and more cattle, in order to maximize their profit, without thinking about the negative…

Ans. 1. Governor’s ethical justification is driven by continued decrease in water resources in California due to unfavorable weather conditions. The executive order 2016 (in continuity to previous executive orders) states that the water levels have not crossed the required levels due to the limited amount of rain and snowfall. This had a direct impact on the state rivers, underground basins and reservoirs. The drought has increased the scarcity of drinking/ potable water. Agricultural production…

Controversy exists over whether biodiversity issues have negative impacts on the ecosystem and environment. While some well-intentioned people believe that the environment would not be affected by biodiversity (biological diversity) problems, I hold onto the view that biodiversity issues strongly influence ecosystems in that they not only effect on the land, but also will create significant challenges for the air and the water resources. Biodiversity is commonly defined as the variety of all…

The downturns of the auto industry in the 1980s wrecked havoc in this prominently black city to the extent that today about 40% of its citizens live under the poverty line. In 2014, Flint sought…

I am writing in regards to a request that I analyze rhetoric used in Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled water, go away” and whether this article should be published in the student newspaper, The Shorthorn. This article is an interesting read, especially for students that consume a lot of bottled water, and strongly discusses both sides of the argument very well throughout. It’s easy to agree that bottled water is convenient in most cases, but at the same time it can be harmful to the environment…

The third Japanese water issue is that the price for tap water has risen up in recent years. The main cause is the decline of population in Japan. The infrastructures in Japan that delivers drinking water to homes and processes the drinking water are superannuated in many places. However, local water supply agents do not have enough money to maintain and repair these water facilities and water treatment facilities because revenues have been dropping in recent years due to loss of water users.…
