the Industrial Revolution when machinery began to replace manual labor (“The Ecological Impact”). Eventually, the usage of fossil fuels increased, powering locomotives and other machineries (“Why did fossil fuels”). These fossil fuels include coal, natural gas, and petroleum, and have been burned to provide energy for factories, cars, and electrical production (Petersen, Sack, and Gabler 84). However, when burned, the fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which covers the…

The worst development outcomes are found in the countries with the majority of natural resource endowments. “There are twenty-three countries in the world that derive at least sixty percent of their exports from oil and gas and not a single one is a real democracy” (Patrick). In developing countries, an increasingly important part of economic growth is the management of natural resources. This allows governments to deliver services to their citizens and it also creates jobs (“Creating Jobs”).…

Energy is an integral part of our lives and we use energy at home, work, and on the road every single day. We use biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas and propane. No matter where the energy is derived from, there are benefits and challenges to its use. No energy resource is perfect. Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease for use in diesel vehicles. Biodiesel 's physical…

There are two major reasons of this movement, the first one is the baby boom that came after the World War II. The rapid growth of the population distorts the age structure of America. From 1940 to 1950, there were almost 27 million people aged from 14 to 24, and this number increased to 40 million in the 1960s. Thus, in the 1960s, the Unite States was full of youth groups, and made government a huge rush. Setting up schools for children to study, and making them blend in the dominant value…

Climate Change Many debate whether global warming and climate change is really an issue. It should not even be up for debate. Here are some facts about global climate change, according to the Tenth Edition Environmental Science; by Daniel D. Chiras: There are thousands of temperature sensors distributed over land and sea all across the surface of the Earth. Readings from these sensors show that there has been a steady increase in the average global temperature since the 1880’s. Glaciers in…

Theories and studies in science tend to change over the years due to new evidence as well as social changes. Science, like a living organism, adapts and is reevaluated with new outcomes. It is important to look back at past studies and ideas not only to retest hypotheses but also to see how far the scientific community has brought society. One branch to look back on would be biology, more specifically human variation. At the present time we know that race is not a biological variation. All…

What is Human Nature? Humanity is difficult to define, but Chinese philosophers, Master Kao and Hsun Tzu, seem to have their own understanding about what humanity is. Tzu states that “our nature is born evil and his nature cannot be learned or worked for” (84). Kao states “humans are born as a ‘blank slate’ (neutral) and can be conditioned into either good or evil” (78). I believe as humans we are born with pure intent and can decide if we become benevolent or malicious. Tzu is wrong because he…

In modern society mankind relies on industrial chemistry processes. This industrial chemistry process is known as “The Haber Process” it is responsible for the production of the compound ammonia; which is accountable for the world’s consumption of natural gas (BBC, 2014). The Haber process is the method of synthesizing the compound of ammonia which is produced from Hydrogen (H2) and Nitrogen (N2) gas (Sinha, 2014). In 1909 a German named Fritz Haber developed the compound of ammonia, thus The…

Despite the fact that over the last fifty years women significantly improved their social position in America and drastically changed the economic situation, by taking over almost half of today’s professions, they are still facing wage discrimination based on gender. According to the Labor Department, the wage gap over the last few years was continuously narrowing; however, the monetary expansion that happened in the last few months greatly improved the economic position of men. As a result of…

Environment and Behavior Individuality, which includes human nature and characters, helps people distinguish themselves from others and the world around them. In the process of searching for individuality, one is shaped by his or her environment. We see this in Leslie Bell’s essay “Selections from Hard to Get: Twenty–Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom,” where Bell shows young women who are trying to find their sexual identities. Also, in the essay “The Power of Context,” Malcolm…
