France’s carbon tax on fossil fuel in the form of a specific levy was proposed in 2009 at a rate of €17 per tCO2 and applied to gasoline, diesel fuel, coal and natural gas.

evolution is not something that he came about doing on his own. As previously stated, he was influenced by others to start developing the principles of evolution and natural selection. Significantly, it was not until Alfred Russel Wallace shared similar findings with Darwin that he decided to publish his research on his hypothesis of natural selection. In 1855, Wallace published an article that stated that current species may be descendants of other species and that their appearances and…

Good can be viewed as morally right or righteous while bad can be defined as immoral or malevolent. Human nature isn’t good or bad but daily surroundings in our lives affect our decisions. In the novel Lord of the Flies (1954), some boys get stranded on an island and lose sense of their personal identity and most become complete savages, because of the lack of civilization. On the contrary, in Hamlet, every decision Hamlet decides is not because he is evil or mad but, because of his beliefs or…

When it comes to the discussions of human nature, a controversial issue has been whether it is in our human nature to be good or evil and if it can be shaped or not. On the one hand, Mencius argues that it is in our nature to be good and that it can be shaped. On the other hand, John Locke contends that human nature is neutral and we choose our path through harsh revolution. Others even argue that it is in our human nature to be evil, even when we mean to do good, that nature will never change.…

Ayiko Soloman, a Wilfrid Laurier graduate, spend a fair amount of years providing humanitarian support and aid to people in Uganda and has…

to the theory, religious groups blamed scientists for impudence, while scientists uncovered lack of awareness of the clergy (Croce n.d). This scholarly age made the mid-and late Victorian periods a period of an incredible reappraisal in both the natural and social sciences. Therefore, common theory affirmed by amateurs were changed into modern science created by expert scientists who construct their ability and power in light of unbending hypothetical…

The phenomenon of Global Warming, the gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere due to emissions of greenhouse gases associated with human industrialization activities is a major concern for the world community. Most nations are in agreement that addressing greenhouse gas emissions as a way to contain Global Warming and its disastrous consequences is imperative, yet still; the world community has yet to form a comprehensive policy that gives each individual country reasonable standards which to…

environment. One major human historical pattern that supports the notion that Easter Island is a metaphor for our current global situation is the tendency of humans to expand societies until they are at their limit, unable to expand any more due to natural constraints. As explained by William Rathje, every civilization peaks at some point, enjoying prosperity, extravagance, and dominance. After this peak, a collapse is…
