Natural ventilation

future of the environment and the impact of your actions? If so, you need to do your part in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. Solar energy offers two considerable environmental advantages in comparison to fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and natural gasses. The most obvious fact is that it is renewable and will never run out. The second is its effect on the environment. The life cycle of solar power differs greatly from fossil fuel, but when considering the entire life cycle each…

things that are going to make the difference, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. The biggest impact that we have today is air pollution which is mainly caused by fossil fuel emissions. Air pollution can result from both human and natural actions. Impacts that are done by…

In this essay I will present and describe the means in which a school’s ethos and behaviour management policy helps create an effective learning environment for young children. A behaviour management policy is a policy that is placed which focuses on actions for schools to take to make sure that pupils develop positive altruistic behavior and are able to deal successfully with unsuitable pupil behavior. “Ethos can be defined as the ‘atmosphere’ which develops in a setting as the result of the…

Free-Choice Learning Free-choice learning is a new concept that I discovered doing research for this paper. The term free-choice learning gained my attention because it kept popping up in research papers in relation to zoos and other informal education settings. Because of the frequent occurrence of this topic in zoo related journal articles, i figured it would be professionally beneficial to learn more about it . So, what is free-choice learning. Falk et al. describe free-choice learning in…

evolution, as described by both Lamarck and Darwin in the 1800’s, had such an impact on intellectual life that it has changed the way we study the human mind today. Darwin’s (1859) theory is still widely accepted as what we know as the theory of natural selection, and provides a structure for examining human behaviour. He saw the future of psychology as “based on a new foundation”, and evolutionary psychology is now still emerging and developing. Darwinian evolution means we can ask how each…

or High Water:Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster Michael Dyson looks at how different groups use religion in the face of a natural disaster. In Hurricane Katrina there were essentially two groups that were a part of the disaster: poor, black victims and those that were supposed to help them. For those that are in a position to help, they often view natural disasters as a means for God to punish sinners and for those that need help they look to God as a comfort and as a way to cope. In…

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. However, the French Constitutional Council felt that the extensive compensatory measures of the proposed tax did not promote equality among taxpayers and would defeat the intention to promote environmentally friendly behaviour and reduce carbon…

Emerald City is a polarizing and courageous piece from Matthew Klingle. Matthew Klingle had explored the functions of nature in the development of Seattle as from the early days when settlement began to the present time. The book has made a combination of environmental history, human geography, urban history, among others, as he tries to attempt to reshape how nature looks like within the period of ecological disaster and social inequality. Matthew Klingle has explored many things that are…

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…
