...pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. It is an issue that troubles us economically, physically and everyday of our lives. The contamination of the environment is also being linked to some of the diseases that are around currently. Yet, most people do not know about this problem. This shows that environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly worse problem that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for the good of the environment but also for the people that live in it. Many factors are present for why environmental pollution has become such a large issue in the world. However, if the people of the world were to address the issue it would definitely help both the environment and it's people. There are many activities that can be done by both the common citizen to the governments of the world, which could severally improve the world's environmental problem. On the other hand, if the current way the world's environmental problem is being handled continues, catastrophic consequences can follow for the future population.

...Human trafficking over the years has gotten progressively worse and worse in the United States, and it needs to end now. Human trafficking is when somebody gets abducted and they get sold to people for money. When this does happen to people it doesn’t just affect them, but it affects their friends, family, and their community. They get sold to people and are treated like an animal. They are not fed right, and some even get drugged to do stuff against their own will. This issue is happening everywhere in the world, but especially in the United States. Human Trafficking happens every day, and everywhere. For example some people have got abducted by walking to and from school. Human Trafficking is generally a crime against persons, violating their human and labor rights in the process. (Vanessa, 2015) Sometimes even when you are just walking to get your mail. It could happen anytime and anywhere and it happens so fast that you wouldn’t even know what happened to you. Human Trafficking is the second most profitable criminal enterprise for transnational organized crime groups. (Vanessa, 2015)Sadly, by the times someone would notice that you were missing you could...

...recently enlarged its scope to include spiritual values (Kolodinsky, 2008).” Ethics in the workplace are constantly changing. Ethics are challenged on a day to day basis and making the choice of which one is the right one. The work place offers several differences in how others will handle ethical situations. Ethics in the workplace are important as they create a secure work place for everyone. According to the dictionary work ethics is “a belief in the moral benefit and importance of work and its inherent ability to strengthen character (Dictionary, 2012).” I use to work for a dispatching company for a private security service. They would service apartment buildings, offices, and stores basically anyone that wanted extra security. I was responsible for scheduling, rescheduling officers, answering the phones concerning our services and providing assistance. When I would go to work I was not responsible for coworker feuds but I did seem to play the middleman when they did happen. I worked alongside three other dispatchers and two of them did not seem to get along on any given day. They had a hard time working together to work on and through work problems. The issues between them seemed to just be getting worse and worse over time. My manager called me into his office one day to talk about the problems that were happening between the two of them because he noticed it was starting to affect our whole department and not just them two. I explained to him that it was just office...

Helicopter parents do this by “helping” their children to a point to where they’re just giving out the answers thus making their children not understanding the topic at which their learning. In the end helicopter parents can hurt their child without even knowing. Helicopter parents hurt their children by causing depression, not being able to learn as well and, worse work ethics. Children who have over-controlling parents are more likely to be depressed during college years. (Holly) “studies have found that college students” who have “over-controlling parents report feeling higher levels of child anxiety and depression”. Children who have helicopter parents feel more loneliness when they move out to college. Studies have also found that children with over controlling parents feel (Holly) “less satisfied with family life and have lower levels of psychological well-being”. Children who have helicopter parents don't like their past experiences with their parents as much as children who did not have helicopter parents....

So much so, that a new political party, called the Whig party. “This name played off the idea that Jackson was acting as if he were ‘King Andrew’ because it was the Whig party in Britain that espoused the limiting of royal power.” The Senate eventually gained control once again and stopped the election of Taney into the secretary of Treasury. Unfortunately, Jackson had already destroyed the American banking system making it unpredictable...

I am qualified to write this editorial because I live by Lake Erie and I am a professor in water quality. Due to the pollution, invasive species, and loss of habitat the Great lakes condition is becoming more worse. Now let's talk about the problems in the great lakes. The first cause of why the Great Lakes condition is becoming more worse is because of the pollution. So much waste is being dumped in the lakes. In 1969 the Great lakes was a mess. Many locals called the lake cesspools and wastebaskets. “When rainfall, snowmelt, and irrigation water run across the land, the water picks up pollutants from the soil.” Also the runoffs from storms collects...

...strategic errors committed by US in Afghanistan in the past and these errors are haunting them now. The strategic errors committed are difficult to undo. But , correcting them will be worse. It’s like leaving Saddam in power after the first Gulf war and then tried correcting it with Gulf War II...with worse results and losing all the goodwill and invincibility they had built after the first gulf war. The coalition forces were welcomed by Afghanis when Taliban was dismantled because they looked powerful, asserting and someone who could improve lives of normal Afghani. Today, things seem different. They look powerless, difficult and worse something which is making ordinary Afghani life more difficult than it was under Taliban. For coalition forces , If someone like Taliban can make them look like novice in war-fighting then they have to take a hard look at their national, operational and tactical strategy. I would like to start with what is AIM of coalition forces....is it making life of ordinary Afghani more prosperous and peaceful or ensuring security of US. These aims look different but actually they are co-terminus. One will lead to the other but start point has to be to develop Afghanistan and not the other way around which Secretary of State Hillary enunciated a few days back. If the strategy is making Afghanistan prosperous and peaceful (something which US successfully achieved in Japan and Germany after WWII) and therefore keep people on its side then some thrust areas should...

...Deforestation Identifying the Problem Deforestation is the removal of related ecosystems or rainforests into ecosystems that are less biodiverse such as croplands, pastures, or plantations. Also, more people need wood to make furniture, houses, and many more everyday things. An estimated 18 million acres of forest are lost each year. Believe it or not but in 100 years if the current rate of deforestation continues all forests will be gone. This will cause terrible effects on the global climate and it will get rid of the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. Deforestation is mainly due to our acts that are totally against the laws of nature. To create new land area for people forests are being destroyed. This trend shows the greed of humans and the increasing needs. There are two different types of deforestation: Clear Cutting and Slash and Burn. Clear Cutting is cutting down a large area of trees that are standing at the same time. Slash and Burn is when people cut down all the foliage in a forest and burn it to access the nutrients. (4) A lot of the countries with high amounts of deforestation are the ones that are developing. For the countries to grow and develop their economies they need access to more resources, employment of people, logging to manufacture more timber products, and agricultural expansion. The solution to getting all these positive things is deforestation. The world’s highest rates of deforestation are happening in the economies...

...Internet Addiction In today's world, most Americans use the internet daily for daily needs. It has become very common to go online because it makes research and socializing easier. The internet is a great place for social networking and meeting or communicating with people across the world. Nicholas Carr, author of the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid”, claims that using the internet can make people less intelligent. After spending a number of days researching on the topic of internet use, I have came to agree with Carr. I not only agree with him, that using the internet does make internet users less intelligent, I also believe that using the internet too often can make a person addicted to the internet. Once a person is addicted to the internet, they not only become less intelligent, like Carr believes, but they also develop mental and psychological problems. People should be more aware of internet addiction. The signs and symptoms should not be avoided when someone sees themself in the addiction situation. Once they become addicted, it is like a real drug, it will pull them in slowly and be hard to get away from. DSM IV and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) define addiction in terms of substance dependence or pathological gambling. To define internet addiction, it would be someone that meets at least three of the following criteria: tolerance, salience, withdrawal symptoms, difficulty controlling use, continued use despite negative consequences...

...century, the government and people of Britain commonly believed in the policy of laissez-faire – the policy of non-intervention in relation to social problems. Due to this, the majority of those in poverty received no help whatsoever. However as time passed, people’s attitudes were changed by the publishing of various findings and the government seeked to help not only the poor but also other groups. The young were helped by aiding their nourishment and inspecting their health. The elderly were helped by supporting them with pensions. The sick were helped by creating insurance which would come to their help during times of sickness. The unemployed were assisted by funding which supported them at times during which they looked for work. Finally, the employed were helped by making their wages fairer and shortening working hours. In 1906 the School Meals Act was passed. This Act addressed the problem of children being undernourished in school as this made them incapable of learning as much as they were expected to. A year later the Medical Inspections Act was passed which made it mandatory that a child goes through at least 3 medical inspections throughout their school career. Finally, in 1908 the Children’s Charter was passed. The Charter protected children in all aspects of life, making sure they were protected from abuse and neglect by making these punishable offenses and ensuring that they children were not living on the streets without food or education. It also banned under-16s from...
