In all environmental scientists careers, one must think clearly about which country scientists choose to help. In Ethiopia, villages lack the adequate amount of drinking water to sustain every villagers need. Out of the 82,825,000 people that live in Ethiopia, 62% of people live without the supply of clean drinking water, and 271,000 children die each year from various causes, including unclean water (Onuoha). Most land in Ethiopia is farmland, which is the reason why the majority of Ethiopians…

Hoffer, similar to Boyer and Nissenbaum, believes there were many factors that contributed to the conception of the Salem Witch Trials.
