...has risen due to the polar ice caps melting, where overpopulation is occurring because states are slowly being swallowed by the sea and where tornados and hurricanes are common place. i. This is an extremist view on what global warming could lead to in the next couple hundred years. And even if these things do not happen as quickly as this extreme viewpoint suggests this will happen eventually if nothing is done. ii. The question then becomes what should be done? Many politicians talk a lot about how laws need to be implemented to reduce our effect on global warming. I’m here to tell you all that this is not the right plan of action and that what should be done is THESIS: government spending should be spent on developing new “green” technologies and for incentive programs rather than on “green” laws because it is better for the economy in the short run and will be better for the environment in the long run. II. Background/Need a. Global warming is a problem that already has been impacting the weather and will continue to impact the weather in the future. i. National Geographic says, “The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia” (National Geographic). ii. According to Time magazine it’s a good possibility that by 2050 the polar ice caps could be completely gone if we continue on the path we are on (Kluger). b. The vast majority of the scientific population agrees that...

...MODERN ENGINEERING ETHICS Most of code of ethics in worldwide are put public interest above all other by engineers consciously. When engineering individuals pursuit their own self-interest, public will have to be achieved in the fast but modern day world has been changed. Now people try to go with green, expectation is sustainable development so it emphasis on economic valuation and economic instruments for the sake of environmental protection. Ethical behavior and way of looking at thing on modern day engineer is changed. With respect to technological development, an economic determinism is prepared generally by the sustainable policy. Environmental and economic goals are major than the ethical issues. Environmental and economic requirement of modern day engineering work conflict every day and...

...Technology has been a boon to mankind and it is a blessing in disguise. It has made the life of humans simple and easy to live. The effects of technology have largely been positive on human life. We have reached this modern era because of technology. The various technologies around us have made this world modern. In this modern life technological innovations have become integral to our lives Technological innovations are the most important aspect of human life and it is impossible to even think of our life without them. Technology is the greatest creation of humans and it has also enabled humans to create whatever they desire. I think that technology is indispensable in our modern life and it is a great positive force in our lives. The creativity in the field of technology has always resulted in remarkable innovations. We would not have reached such heights of development without the help of technology. Technology has influenced people in a positive sense. It has instigated people to create better and better innovations. We can never think of our lives without the basic amenities which technology has provided us with. Without such technology we would still be in the pre-historic age. We should be thankful to technology for our metamorphosis from a cave man to the modern man of present age. This modernism is the result of technology and it has made our life better and better with time. It is best tool that the humans have ever invented for self help. The technological inventions...

...to define what exactly is the technology. In principle the term literally refers to the study of the technique, that is, to all the theoretical or practical knowledge involving the scientific disciplines. According to this definition, something is to be a technology as such, you must have a use in a particular field. At the time that no longer used, it would be technology. Like that is pretty hard to categorize, we tend to talk about obsolete technologies or obsolete. No need to go to the time of the invention of fire to see technologies that have been replaced by others: that to our grandparents it was technology for our generation can be an anachronism without practical use. There is another concept used today such as new technologies, involving various fields of recent creation as computer science, telecommunications. Anyway in modern society living technology as old as the wheel with newer. The importance of technology is almost always linked to practical applications you may have. In fact, a very expensive or very complicated, technology doesn't succeed, because its implementation is very complicated. That's why sometimes technologies that seem rudimentary trump other much more 'modern'. Either way, technology tends to be in continuous progress, in general being the practical development of new ideas conceived by the scientific disciplines, and is therefore closely linked to the concept of innovation. In the life of modern society, technology is indispensable. In fact, most...

What would you include in a brief summary on the history of the modern environmental movement, from the 1960s to the present? In a brief summary the history of the modern environmental movement, from the 1960s to the present, with the help of environmentalists and environmentalism resulted in keeping the air in our cities and the water in our lakes and rivers are far cleaner than they were in the late 1960s. Without a doubt, absent the environmental movement, our air and water would now be a toxic brew. By almost any measure, the environmental movement has been successful, at least in solving some pollution problems. That with sustainability, stewardship, and sound science are three vital concepts or ideals that can move societies toward a sustainable future if they are applied to public policies and private environmental actions. 2. Explain the primary concern over exponential population growth. What promotes exponential population growth? What constrains exponential population growth?

What would you include in a brief summary on the history of the modern environmental movement, from the 1960s to the present? The environmental movement in the modern day in the United States started to take off in the 1960s and 1970 and at first only focused on a few disasters and environmental issues. In today’s society environmentalism changed to become a huge movement. The environment now impacts everything from politics to the media, even to forms of art. It is no longer a singular movement, but now being spread worldwide into the American culture and population. 2. Explain the primary concern over exponential population growth. What promotes exponential population growth? What constrains exponential population growth? The more people there are and the more resources we use will ultimately lead to the Earths collapse thus leaving us with a weak environment. Over the past few decades earth has grown a substantial amount and the more people that are on the earth the more frequently we have to use unnatural resources. Although the advancement of technology is a good thing in the long run the things that are used to invent the new technology, or even the hormones that they put into growing more vegetables is causing more harm than good to the environment.

...importance of the fifth revolution, the environmental revolution, to the size of the human population on this planet? (Chapter 8) The Neolithic Revolution was the first revolutions that lead to a increase in human populations. The Neolithic Revolution occurred approximately 12,000 years ago and was the rise of stable food, the rise of settlements, specialization of labor, and the reduction of mortality. Following this is the Industrial Revolution saw the birth and rise of modern technology and science. Because of new energy sources, production became more efficient and faster. Food could be produced quicker; this also began increased environmental resource exploitation. The Medical Revolution included the increase of epidemics and other rise in diseases that gave children a high mortality rate. This resulted in a low population growth. Because of this, more health regulations were put into place. This in turn, increased human population growth rate. The Green Revolution began with the concern of over-production of food, this lead to an increase in agricultural efficiency. The newest revolution, the Environmental Revolution, consists of policy and industrial changes. This also includes efficient technologies, urban, regional planning and also changes in personal decisions. 2. What is the IPAT formula and what is its purpose?

...GREEN TECHNOLOGY Catherine Drake Instructor Minor July 27th 2013 Green technology what is it, Where does it come from and how do we use it? I am hoping to answer these questions to the best of my ability. “The green movement evolved considerably since the early days. Since there are some popular assumptions about environmental history that are incorrect.” (A brief history of the modern Green movement in America, WEB ECoist). The green movement can be dated back to the 19th century possibly even as far back as 1830. Back then it was called “Environmental movement.” Since this time Green technology has been referred to as environmental wako’s, tree huggers, and many more unfriendly names, however what they failed to see was what these green technology people were doing was helping the environment and the way we live our daily lives. The green movement started with Americans thinking that we should cultivate land instead of leaving it alone to be wild and free. This was a big clash between Native Americans and Americans. This soon would be forgotten until after World War II and the 1948 disaster at Donora (called the Death Fog) that prompted a national outcry. (A brief history of the modern green movement in America; Web Ecoist). Green technology took a more personal issue in the green movement, such as the issues we more centered on food safety and consumer goods. In the late 60s early 70s is when we started to see a rise in the modern green movement. Closer to...

...shelter and other things depends on the environment around us. There is a balanced natural cycle exists between environment and lives of human beings, plants and animals. Human society is playing vital role in degenerating the natural environment which in turn negatively affects the lives on this planet. All the human actions in this modern world directly impact the whole ecosystem. All the actions have brought a big change in this planet which resulted in many environmental problems. Increasing demand of technologies and industries in the modern time impacts the nature. The increasing invention of new technologies has changed the interaction of people with environment which permits more population to grow. The modern technologies have immense power which has altered the whole environment in an unimagined way. The indiscriminate use of environment is the root of ecological crisis. Such continuous increase in the technologies and human behaviour are correspondingly very serious. Such amazing technologies have become the reason of economic growth in 20th century however it had dramatically affected the natural resources. Some of the environmental problems are rapid growth in world population, deteriorating natural resources, diminishing forests and wetlands, erosion of soil and coral reefs, depleting underground water, regular shortage of fresh drinking water, vanishing plants, salinization in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Middle...

...reducing as a gasoline additive and as a gasoline replacement using E85, which are motor fuel blends of 85% ethanol and just 15% gasoline. The problem is there are not enough corn crops to supply the gasoline demands. Other technologies are needed if bio-energy is going to expand its role in the national energy scene. Biomass processing could become profitable in the future with improvement in technology. The most important benefit of renewable energy systems is the decrease of environmental pollution and using up our current resources. However the role of biomass-ethanol in natural energy supply depends upon the success of fuel processing technologies and the energy price increase. Is there enough public knowledge to help promote and fund the need of modern technology that is needed to supply us with ethanol and biodiesel? “Biomass is a generic term for all vegetable material. It is generally a term for material derived from growing plants or from animal manure. The term modern biomass is generally used to describe the traditional biomass use through the efficient and clean combustion technologies and sustained supply of biomass resources using modern conversion technologies”(Demirbas,2010,para.3). There has been rapid progress with technology with converted biomass into fuel; the problem is the high cost. Biomass is renewable matter such as crops, forest wood, plant wastes, manure, and a variety of...

...a generation conceived and cultivated in a pervasive technological environment, finding healthy perspective on the drawbacks and detriments imposed by that technology can be a challenge. With all of the tangible ways in which technology has clearly improved our daily lives, it may seem iconoclastic to even pose the question “In what ways has technology made our lives worse?” Irreverence aside, the question opens a door to many interesting avenues of exploration on the topic. Technology pervades nearly every aspect of modern life, and as such it has profound effects, both positive and negative, on us as individuals and as a society. Technology pervades nearly every aspect of modern life, and while we tend to focus on the numerous positive effects of technological advances, there also exist equally profound negative impacts, both to individuals and to society as a whole.
