Another place that I’ve been to recently and admired its geographical landscape is Mount St. Helens. The eruption on May 18, 1980 caused a monumental change in its geography, altering it to a point where it was unrecognizable. The current landscape is a combination of both aggradation and degradation caused by the rockslide debris that displaced the water of Spirit Lake, producing gigantic north part of the lake.

As a…

Globalization, in its modern form, came to Bangladesh in the 1980s with the expansions of the garment industry. Reaz and Jewel Garments, the first garment-exporting firm, was established in 1977, at a time when Bangladesh’s total export comprised of about 6.3 percent of its GDP (Ahmed et al., 2014; Rashind, 2006). In the 1980s, the South Korean firm Daewoo played an important role in the industry’s takeoff when it partnered with Desh Garments. Since the end of the MFA in 2005, clothing exports…

These metrics are important but a shift has been made towards understanding the perceptions of the employees when it comes to safety. In a 1980 article, Zohar Dov introduced what is widely known today as safety climate in which he drew off of previous research into the term organizational climate (Dov, 1980). Safety climate was defined as the “shared perceptions among employees in regard to safety policies, procedures, and practices” (Dov, 2008). Safety climate is what is…

Due to its status as the focal point of the cocaine trade, Medellin, Colombia, was dubbed the “most dangerous city on Earth” by TIME magazine at the height of the cartel’s power. It bore the highest homicide rate and was plagued by civil conflict, which set the stage for illicit drug trafficking to occur. Presently, it ranks as the 49th most dangerous city, and it is speculated by both the DEA and Colombian National police that more than 300 drug smuggling organizations are active within…

from being one of the poorest Asian American groups in the 1980s to a somewhat self-sufficient community at the dawn of the twenty-first century” (Pfeifer, Chiu, and Yang, p.5, 2013). This was a huge milestone for the Hmong because of how far they have come since settling in 1975. By the end of 1976 many thousands of Hmong refugees settled in the United States and peaked around 1980. There continued to be a steady stream of refugees from 1980 to 2000 when the Hmong American population grew to…

aimed to support specific gender stereotypes. Analyzing the way advertising of Lego toys changed from 1980s to modern day, it is possible to trace the path of stereotyping in regards to gender. The audience can see how Lego advertisements have regressed from using gender-neutral marketing to gender-specific marketing through the use of gender-specific activities and colors. The Lego ads from the 1980s subvert the idea of cultural gender roles whereas the Lego commercials from modern day…
