Transit-oriented development

Fossil fuels were created by the Earth millions of years ago while the core and crust were not yet fully separated. Have been used too much and it is damaging the environment us as human beings, need to survive as a species on this planet. The amount of natural resources available to us as consumers is diminishing by the day. The fossil fuels industries produces most of the power and heat throughout the civilized parts of the globe. The big companies making millions off of the demand for energy…

1) Topic 1 – Anticipated ethical and integrity dimensions of your discipline and your planned field of research within it. It is widely accepted that research should be undertaken ethically (Steneck, 2006). Research conducted in an ethical manner ensures the protection of welfare and rights of all participants and upholds an intrinsic sense of the common good (NHMRC, 2007a; Siebar, 1992). Ethical issues exist in any kind of research (Orb, Eisenhauer & Wynaden, 2001). In particular, qualitative…

As humanity has grown and expanded we have had an incredible, and arguably, irreversible effect on our biosphere. Between our intense levels of energy consumption and the pollution as a result of that use we are stretching the planet’s ability to correct itself it the limit. The Earth goes through different stages naturally, but the human race is torn between wanting to stop it, thereby keeping with what we know, and wanting to allow the Earth to right our wrongs. We are moving towards finding…

The most important relationships you can have are with your family. Whether that be adopted family, paternal family, or the loved ones that are considered family to those without one. The relationship most intriguing to me is between father and daughter in particular. When thinking about this subject my ultimate question would be, does a father’s involvement in a daughter’s life affect their relationships with others? Is a female socially more guarded due to not being raised by both parents,…

every stage of their life including prenatal development, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and aging (Daddis, 2010). The study focuses on aspects such as personality, motor skills, identity formation, cognitive development, emotional development, moral understanding, social change, language acquisition and self-concept (Keijsers & Poulin, 2013). This project will specifically address prenatal development, infant care, attachment, child development and adolescence and conduct literature…

When it comes to childhood development, a child 's first years of life are the most important time to have them learn about happiness, love, and responsibility. Dressing a child up and letting them put make-up on is not the greatest way to raise a child. Child beauty pageants are becoming a growing trend in America. These beauty pageants set false rules on beauty, as they make children believe that they have to wear make- up, fake eyelashes, jewelry, hair extensions, fake nails, and other…

Observing a child has always been a fascinating experience. It is amazing to see how differently children act in regards to child development theories. I recently observed a 4 year old little girl who I babysit periodically. My observation was conducted after school at the school I am contracted at. For the purposes of confidentiality the name of the little girl has been changed to Kaiya. I observed Kaiya the week of February 15-19 after school from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Kaiya has two older…

It is beneficial to collect as many types of data this can be interviews, surveys or observation. By utilizing several types of methods and looking from different directions, this process is known as…

The world needs a sustainable energy source, there are no two ways about it. In my opinion, with the current infrastructure of the United States, the only way the US can generate enough energy effectively and efficiently is by combining nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, wind, and biofuels. Nuclear can generate a solid baseline in which solar can add on to during the day when energy usage is near its highest. The rest of the sources can add onto what is being produced by nuclear and can then match…

One of the most important issues of the 21st Century is climate change. A crucial factor contributing to climate change is the emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels. With an ever-depleting fossil fuel supply, we must be able to fulfill the demand of energy with alternative energy sources. Solar energy is not only an alternate energy source but also a renewable one. Every source of energy comes with costs and benefits. By examining how solar energy works, how it can be…
