A political party is an organization of people which seeks to achieve goals common to its members through the acquisition and exercise of political power (Political Party).

Globalization of economies has negatively affected individuals by creating more inequality and by failing to reduce poverty. The environment has also faced a negative impact because many developed countries are still heavily reliant on fossil-fuels and their production of greenhouse gases keeps rising. Additionally, the United States outsources much of its industrial sector to China whose population is quickly growing which has led to large concentrated areas of pollution emission. When…

The world is starting to reach a tipping point with regard to global climate change. In fact, “several studies have suggested that temperature stabilization at or below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial temperatures should be the goal of climate change policy. Warming above this level would likely cause large areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet to melt, would put the West Antarctic Ice Sheet at substantial risk, and would cause widespread disruption to global ecosystems and the hydrologic cycle.”…

Introduction When companies think of expanding their businesses to another culture, some do not think of culture and how it affects their success or lack thereof. Culture plays a quintessential role in a business, and it is important to be aware of differences in culture while conducting business operations in a foreign country. The awareness of cultural differences can reduce trade problems, reduce diplomatic tensions, and reduce misunderstandings (Hite, 1991). In this paper, I will discuss…

construct shrines and temples or to replace bridges, and the professional sumo wrestler was born. A sport that was once enjoyed only by the rich and powerful became popular among the masses. Sumo events were often held in Edo (now Tokyo), Osaka, and Kyoto, and the sport's popularity grew with the sales of color woodblock prints featuring sumo scenes and pictures of wrestlers. The government of the time, though, disapproved of fighting and often issued orders banning sumo.” (Kids Web…

National Geographic’s article on Farming and Agriculture states that, “40 percent of the Earth 's land is now given over to agriculture” (Owen, 1). This means the amount of land susceptible to the detrimental effects of climate change is incredibly vast. The Farming and Agriculture article also notes that, “maps suggest that an area roughly the size of South America is used for crop production, while even more land; 7.9 to 8.9 billion acres (3.2 to 3.6 billion) is being used to raise livestock”…

In mid-September 2015, the Volkswagen (VW) scandal erupted in the United States, creating a shockwave in the diesel automobile sector both domestic and international. US authorities accused VW of installing “defeat devices” in nearly half a million cars between 2009 and 2015 to make them appear less polluting than they actually are. Independent tests done by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) confirmed that a selection of VW vehicles were emitting up to 40 times more…

It seems you cant swing a stick without hitting a global warming activist these days. Now, when I first started reading about this phenomenon, I was pretty skeptical. After all, it was only in the 1970s that scientists were warning of another ice age. So I read a book called "The Skeptical Environmentalist" by Bjorn Lomborg. Bjorn is a mathematician and he digs into the available environmental data and starts to evaluate much of the published environmental literature. He finds that a…
