The reason for the increase of individuals using food banks are in relations to the drastic increase in food prices and the cost of transporting/shipping the food as well. When food suddenly costs more, those who can least afford it get hit hardest. Sadly foods that have little nutritional value are the least expensive so people on limited incomes will purchase more unhealthy foods than fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. On average, Canadians spend less than ten percent of their income on food.…

Rockefeller believed in hard and honest work and hated when anything went to waste. This is why when he saw oil being drilled and wasted through inefficiency, he saw an opportunity. Rockefeller then started his own company and the rest is history. He became one of the first multimillionaires in the United States of America through his business and talent.…

The idea of the “self-made man” from the Horatio-Alger Myth was just that: a myth. Social Darwinism appeared and dictated that the better companies and better/wealthier people would come out on top because the impoverished were somehow undeserving of…

He used all methods to reduce the price of oil to his consumers as rebates. He gained many profits and his competitors were crushed one by one. Most of his business were fair business competition.

Fracking it is controversial issue whether does it allow or not. Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into underground such as rocks, boreholes etc. so, that force open existing fissure and extract oil or gas. Fracking is basically shorthand for hydraulic fracturing, a tube of drilling that gas been used commercially for 65 years. Fracking is so dangerous and it has created very serious circumstances. Chemical used in fracking are toxic. According to nature international…

Hydraulic Fracturing is defined as a process by which fractures in the rocks below the Earth's surface are opened and widened by injecting sand and/or chemicals at high pressure to extract natural gas or oil ("What is Fracking?"). Fracking is used to extract shale gas, tight sand gas, tight sand oil, and coal seam gas (better known as methane). Hydraulic fracturing is a relatively older extraction process; however, it has been gaining controversy lately over the issues of water contamination,…

has been practiced for more than 50 years, but it was not until the last decade it became an issue due to a new method of drilling horizontally. Before the last decade, the practice was to drill vertically through shale bedrock to obtain access to oil or gas. In the last 10 to 15 years to the practice of horizontal drilling for methane became popular due to the larger amount of gas that may be extracted. During drilling, the shale will splinter and allow gas to flow through the cracks…

Fracking is the process used to access natural gas that is trapped underground 1. Recently, fracking in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale has gained the attention of many environmentalists 1. Many energy corporations argue that the natural gas industry is not only important for the United States energy, but it is also a large contributor the U.S. economy 2. Environmentalists have made arguments that fracking is not a clean process because the actual process of fracking involved uses a large…
