Cost of Water in Rural China Water is one of the most undervalued resources that are essential to human beings, industries and agriculture. Safe water is also one of the biggest issues that our world face today. Technology has made water access as easy as turning on the tap water and press of a button to flash the toilet. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (2014), each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day. Estimation may vary depends on geographic location, but no matter where…

Canada is a country that has been constructed by its natural resources; and it is Canada’s natural resources that continue to have a great deal of influence on the economy, political system, and social interests. Resource management in Canada has long been viewed as merely a technical exercise performed by the state, when in fact resource management had been central to the creation and maintenance of the state since the beginning. Resources are aspects of the natural environment that we as…

When I first attended class, I thought that English 2 would be just like any regular English class. Everyone was quiet and appeared to be shy, however, I was surprised to see that the instructor was somewhat young. As the first day of class went on, I was also surprised to know that we would have class outside due to the instructor not bringing a key. I instantly thought the instructor was a bit odd but otherwise a cool guy. However, when I found out the subject of the semester would be about…

Special Education major, and tutoring in an MMD classroom ultimately led me down the path of special education. Because separate is all I really knew, I thought that it was the best option for exceptional children. I assumed the one on one and endless resources of a special ed room would outweigh the social benefits of a traditional classroom. The video made me think otherwise for some students. I think if inclusion is done correctly it could diminish the unnecessary barrier drawn between…

irrigation, commercial and industrial usage. In the 1800s water was abundant, in order to create more residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial settings, the state had to undertake acts to rid the land of water. According to “Florida’s Water Resources,” the state would do this by draining swamps, creating statewide canals, and also holding back flood water. Those programs were meant to rid the land of excess water, so people were able to create additional land suitable for…

Wilson Kanadi said it best “those who judge will never understand, and those who understand will never judge.” People are people, we should treat everyone with kindness and respect; sounds simple enough yet it is easier said than done. New York City public transportation is a perfect example of diversity and yet there is very little tolerance, whether it is giving up your seat to a pregnant woman, saying “excuse me”, or passing judgment on a person whom one may call “crazy” because they are…

Other countries imposing a tax are Mexico, Chile, Barbados, Denmark and Slovenia. The trend is even hitting home in the United States. The city of Berkley, California has introduced similar measures (The Economist, 2016). The question I have is this really about trimming bulging waistlines or is about raising money from taxing yet another dirty pleasure such as cigarettes and alcohol. I would tend to believe that the campaign sounds like a win-win situation, but I believe the…

Organizational growth can ultimately be linked back to economic factors at play. During periods of economic expansion and prosperity, there are heightened incentives for organizations to invest into their infrastructure and expand capacity. During times of economic decline, organizational growth wanes as profit margins dwindle, and increased organizational efficiency becomes key. This paper intends to demonstrate how growth is inextricably linked to environmental factors. Economic prosperity…
