produce more crops on less amount of ground. Not only did the Green Revolution make that possible, but essentially it also prevented the degradation of other land resources. If conventional farming techniques that were in place before had been used to generate that increase in production, millions of hectares of forest and natural grassland would have been used to increase the cropland required to produce that amount of food. The Green Revolution prevented this. As well, worldwide, food…
I believe that classrooms need to be universally designed in order to best meet the needs of all learners. Teaching explicit learning strategies to students and using these strategies universally in the classroom are so very important to ensure success for all learners. Reflection is aspect of many macrostrategies (Marzano, 2007).

In 1798, Reverend Thomas Malthus said that the earth’s population would grow more quickly then we are able to produce resources, such as food (Dimick). He hypothesized that the population would grow geometrically, meaning it would double, while the amount of resources we have would only grow arithmetically (Dimick). What are the leading contributors to overpopulation and lack of resources, and what can country’s do specifically to fix the gap? Overpopulation is defined as “an undesirable…
living in New York City ran on the National Broadcasting Company’s (NBC) prime-time schedule for 236 episodes over 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 (Bright, Kauffman, & Crane, 2012). Viewers learned about the relationships among Monica Geller, Rachel Green, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing, and Ross Geller, as they discussed their triumphs and disappointments over countless cups of coffee. In this paper I will be analyzing all six main characters and then two recurring themes through out…
The costly inputs do not work in favour of the smaller farmers, as they cannot afford all the chemicals and pesticides. Also, in terms of sustainability, the green revolution has exhausted the soil, which will end up being useless and nothing can grow on that land. Also, it is very true that jobs were lost due to mechanism, but for farmers, its more effective and efficient to have machines compared to manpower…
In Australia, there is currently a dual electoral system. In the House of Representatives (lower house), there are 150 single-member seats with preferential voting (Find source). However in the Senate (upper house), there is a single-transferable proportional vote (STV) for each multi-member state (Find source). The proportional representation electoral system is believed to, according to Duverger’s Law, lead to a multi-party system (Find source). Despite this, the Australian House of…
matter and soil quality. It is very important in organic farming systems to increase soil quality and fertility in order to increase crop yields and protect against pests and diseases. Green manures crops can be used to provide nitrogen, increase organic matter content among other things, it is important to select a green manure crop that meets your goals. Bantry Bay was at one point in time very well known for their turnips, the secret was that the farmers were using mussels as a soil…
It has life-like characters which make me wish if I could have friends like them in reality. It has a great sense of humour and is written in an incredible style. John Green never ceases to amazes me with his ability of literature and how he always manages to grasp concepts that are important to us teenagers. I truly loved the entire concept of how the characters shared a different relationship, something which many of…
