All throughout the school day Bobbie was bragging about how she was so much smarter than Alfred because she knew so much about the coral reef and how all the different organisms interact. This did not make Alfred happy so he went to ask his wise grandfather, Alfred Gregory McAlfred Senior, about how all of these things work so that he could could…

Canada’s aging population Michaela 9D Canada’s aging population is causing a big problem for the economy right now and further into the future. In Canada there are more people over the age of 64 then under the age of 15, casing the younger population to pay for the pensions of the elderly. By the time current 14 year olds turn 22 they will be paying into the economy like every other working person in Canada. But, by the time that happens every two people working will be…

Introduction and Hypothesis As the communities in the U.S. have been developed on their own way reflecting their industrial, environmental and social conditions, the compositions of demography, so-called ethnical diversity or diversity, have been significantly varied among cities and states. According the U.S Census Bureau, with the highly advanced technology-related industry which has induced a massive influx of immigrants across the worlds, California is ranked as the second most ethnically…

expected to live to the age of 80 and beyond (Boyd, 2012 p. 434). Many of those factors that contribute to the new life expectancy is the improvement in nutrition, general living conditions for pregnant women, infants, and young children, and overall health care (Boyd, 2012 p. 434). During the early 20th century, contaminated food, milk, and water caused many foodborne infections, including typhoid fever, tuberculosis, botulism, and scarlet fever, which lead to many deaths.

Findings Throughout my research process, I found various sources that enhanced how Mexican immigrants have contributed to the Los Angeles economy. To begin, Martin V. Torres in Indispensable Migrants expresses how Mexican immigrants had a huge role in the making of modern Los Angeles. He argues that during the beginning of the last century, Mexican labor was crucial in the city’s railways, agricultural fields, and nascent light industry. Today, although Mexicans do not occupy the most…

I will inspect the origins, beliefs, ceremonies, and organization of Ásatrú in Iceland to determine whether a premodern religion can truly be “revived” in a post-modern world. The Icelandic Ásatrúarfélag is a Neopagan movement in Iceland that was founded in the 1970s and has been gaining popularity since the mid-1990s. I plan on using a participant observation method to study different factions of Ásatrú in Iceland, including Reconstructionist groups and Odinist groups. I will use compare these…

Can we, as American citizens, really understand the struggles of immigrants coming to our country? What they lose and what they gain? How our offensive and insensitive words affect them? These questions are answered through the photo album created in this text, full of images from the life of Pablo Salazar, displaying his experiences as an American immigrant from Guatemala. This poem explores the questions presented by utilizing Pablo’s own words and views as answers. Through an intensive…

disinvestment (as the middle class residents moved to the suburbs) along with the social problems during that time (Bernt, 2012). Between the 1950s and 1980s, the poverty rate increased up to 40% and the neighborhood has lost almost a third of its population, where entire blocks were given up by their owners or boarded up (Bernt, 2012). The situation was so dire in Harlem that researchers concluded that it required “special consideration analogous to that given to natural-disaster areas”…

state of Virginia had a total population of 8.3 million in 2010 (Census, 2010). By comparison, Harrisonburg-Rockingham County, a county within the state of Virginia, had a population of 130, 649 in 2010, a 9% increase from 2009. (Census, 2010). Although not a causal relationship, an increase in population is by far the single best predictor of violent and property crime counts (Chamil & Cochran, 2004). As a result, it can be inferred that a continuing increase in population will, if not already,…

overpopulated, Many ailments that simply didn't exist in the last century have now suddenly cropped up due to our increased lifespan. Contributions towards social health care will have to increase to accommodate this phenomenon. I've noticed over the past 10 years that mediction for more and more ilnesses aren't included in the part of the public health system any more, and personal contributions have gone up.
