Discussion A water shortage can affect you no matter where you live in the world. It's arguably humanity's most vital natural resource. It sustains all other activities; it's the essential basis of economies, societies and human life. A water shortage in Mt Timid would mean loss of property, jobs, business, lack of growth, and most importantly loss of lives which will turn Mt Timid into what is known as a ghost town. If preventable, it is inhumane to let this terrible incident occur. This is why…

waste into the river daily. Collectively, the plants dumped 10475 million gallons of waste from 1965 to 1966. Even though the factories were dumping waste into the river, the residents were still using the water for its supply until 1967 when an EPA study showed that Flint’s water supply was poor. The water’s quality didn’t approve over the years to follow. From studies dating back from 1969 to 2000, they stated that the water quality was poor due to the heavy pollution by the industries. The…

Capitalism and Freedom Review Milton Friedman is one of the most influential economists in this country’s history. The two main economical ideologies nowadays are traditional and progressive, with the first being a conservative way of thinking and the second being much more liberal. I would say that the bulk of this book takes a more traditional approach to most of the debated issues. Capitalism and Freedom, one of Friedman’s most popular works, was written in 1962 and is still a standard…

consumption, business investment, and money supply led to the macroeconomic problems. Using different methods of macroeconomic study, economists acquire a general perspective of economic problems. One of the simplest graphs to understand is the supply and demand graph. It’s the use of this graph that helps in understanding higher prices during the oil crises; lower supply equals higher demand price, and higher supply equals lower demand prices. However, supply and demand are not the only factors…

Water is the world’s most critical resource, sustaining life while enabling economic and social development. The necessity of water for human development is highlighted by the copious amounts of water used on a daily basis in agricultural practices and in order to manufacture consumables, process and extract minerals, generate power, as well as process food and beverages. However, many countries now face challenges of growing water demands as a result of not only increased economic growth but…

The Free Markets and its Effect “A free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority.” In the video,” From the Expert” an illustration is presented of an apple tree and the height of the apples needed for harvesting. The video goes to show how picking the lower hanging apples yield a…

Although water is seemingly abundant in the world, most of it is not suitable for human use due to water pollution. Humans are constantly polluting water resources, which has been a major factor in rapidly decreasing water supply. Pollution is defined as the process by which harmful substances are added to the environment. In this essay, I will be focusing on agricultural activities, which is commonly referred to as farming. Water pollution from agriculture is a serious problem, and in some…

Class one. What characterises capitalism according to Marx and Engels? According to Marx and Engels, capitalism is a system that seeks to constantly increase profits. The capitalist system does so by keeping the cost of the production lower than the sales price, and if necessary by creating new or bigger markets. (For an example, a new market was created when body hair on women suddenly became a problem, so they then needed to go out and buy shavers.) Therefore, Marx sees the capitalist system…

It is generally agreed, that the cause of underdevelopment would be due to the lack of industrialization and therefore the industrialization of a society constitute the solution. Though as time passes by, it seems to indicate that this is not the solution and/or that there are many other causes that prevent industrialization, because development is not achieved by the vast majority of nations. The reasons that can cause and maintain levels of underdevelopment are many and there is no agreement…
