...Research Paper Vehicle users who throw garbage out of the car windows exhibit no respect for themselves and for the environment. Submitted to Prof. Saima Bhaur 13th June, 2013 Acknowledgement It was a interesting and learning experience of doing this research.We would like to thanks specially to our Professor Saima Bhaur for giving her valuable suggestions and help while doing this research. We would like to thanks all the students who have filled the questionnaire. We are also thankful to the university for providing us great opportunity for doing this research. Finally we would like to thanks to our friends for their support. Abstract This is very important to know the effects of littering and garbage throwing out of cars. Why people do this? They are just careless about everything. They even do not know that throwing trash harms our environment and it is also harmful for the animals too. There are too many bad effects. The people who do this have no respect at all. This can be habitual. We have noticed that teenagers throw trash out of cars just for fun. They usually enjoy doing this. To know about all this we have conducted a quantitative research. We have conducted a survey consisting of questionnaire. Our sample size was fifteen. We have asked nine close ended questions relating to this problem to gather data. One question was open ended in which we have noticed different thinking about this issue. After doing all this research we have...

...In Frank Trippett’s excerpt, “A Red Light for Scofflaws”, he discusses the issue of more and more Americans breaking casual, everyday laws. He first brings the issue about by explaining that laws are put in place to benefit society for the good. Trippett continues his argument by stating America’s current slogan: “You’re a fool if you obey the rules.” Trippett's purpose is to inform people of the growing population of people contributing to lawbreaking so that more people will live by the laws intended to keep them safe and sound, even if the law is minor. More and more Americans will continue to be called criminals or lawbreakers because even everyday people are starting to break the rules. Most people would feel that Trippett’s argument...

...vehicle theft, and fraud. Crimes are classified by the seriousness of the offenses less serious crimes that society today believes to minor are like sneaking into the movies, littering, jaywalking, and speeding. Everyone has the right to make a choice but many criminals seem to make the wrong choice over and over. There is research being done today to try and figure out why criminals continue to commit crimes. Daniel Birks uses simulation to test criminological theory. In Daniels studies he states that a series of simulated experiments examining the impact of these mechanisms on patterns of offending are performed. The outputs of these simulations then are compared with several well-established findings derived from empirical studies of residential burglary, including the spatial concentration of crime. The results of Daniel Birks research demonstrated that the propositions of the routine activity approach, rational choice perspective, and crime pattern theory provide a viable generative explanation for several independent characteristics of a crime. Some criminals also feel that they have to commit a crime to in order to make them feel accomplished. There are criminals that only commit crimes so that they can survive in the world but it does not excuse them from breaking the law. Our society decides what conduct is criminal and also determines enforcement, adjudication, and punishment. There are several types of offenses that the criminal justice system has implemented first...

...250 9:10 February 1st, 2016 Assignment #1 When asking a group of people to define what crime is, you are going to get a variety of answers because everyone has a different option or perspective of what crime really is. Some may say that crime is as extreme as taking someone’s life while others might think it’s something less extreme like getting a speeding ticket or even littering. I don’t think any crime is too irrelevant or too extreme, committing a crime is committing a crime pain and simple. If I could define crime in my own words I would say that crime is any action that doesn’t follow the guidelines of social norms or an act that is looked down upon or prohibited that could potentially get you arrested or even put in prison. My definition is based more off moral harm because to me if you have to think to yourself, “Should I be doing this?” or “Is this a bad idea?” that should be your red flag to stop whatever you were going to do and not do it. I don’t understand how people have the ability to take another human beings life. That alone goes against many people’s personal moral beliefs. Morals are like a code of conduct set up by society to keep things or chaos in order and I believe that if you cross that line, that would define a crime. But I also believe that some crimes are based of the degree of danger to society. For example, drinking and driving not only is it morally wrong to do because you could put yourself in danger but you could potentially be putting other...

...Economics is the study of production and distribution of resources. It is the choices that individuals are to make when there is scarcity. In other words, it is the wants and needs that keep individuals alive, such as food and protection from the elements of nature (Sharp, 2010). For example, the ocean provides humans with water, and food. Therefore, if the ocean became contaminated by waste toxins then, this can be problematic. Fishermen would lose their jobs, resulting in a reduction of food sources. This can also jeopardize water source. It is necessary that resources are protected at all cost. Furthermore, it is a viable asset to growing and developing the economy. If subject to contamination it can damage the goods produced. The cause of pollution can have an effect on resources such as water and air. This decreases the value and makes them less valuable to us and increases our cost to produce goods. Pollution has become an increasingly important issue that can have an effect on every living being. Pollution can be defined, as “waste disposed off into air, water and land which reduce the value of those resources in alternative uses. For example, if someone dumps waste such as aluminum cans, trash, or any other types of chemical products into river then, the value of the river is reduced to those who depend on that river for drinking water, fishing and animal survival or reproduction. Humans and natures animals depend on clean water to stay alive. The problem of pollution...

...I. Part One: What is a worldview? A worldview is the way a person views life. It goes way beyond how we view life around us though. It is our perspective on all things that exist in this world. How we determine our decisions we make on a daily basis. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2013) II. Part Two 1. The question of Origin – I believe that God created this earth that we live on because as it says in Genesis 1:1(Genesis, 1:1, NIV) God created the Heavens and earth. Everything that we look at around this beautiful planet it is Gods amazing power. The oceans, lakes and rivers we view were created my God. (Genesis, 1:6-7, NIV) All the beautiful plants, flowers, trees and shrubs were also created by our Almighty Father. (Genesis, 1:11, NIV) It is astonishing that there are people in this world that believe that it wasn’t God that created all of this. 2. The question of Identity – I believe that humans have more value than say a tree or a bird. As said in Genesis 1:27 we were created in His image. (Genesis, 1:27, NIV) I believe that God lives inside of everyone whether we accept Him as our savior or not. (Galatians, 2:20, NIV) 3. The question of Meaning/Purpose – I believe that our purpose for being on earth is to have a relationship with God and to spread the Word of God to those that do not know Him. God wants us to live a life that would honor him and not to live a life of this world. (Romans, 12:2, NIV) Also I know that if we love God with all our heart, soul...

...Hopefully, now that the genocide is over and has been greatly publicized, everyone will be able to reflect on what was done wrong, and what they can do better for the next genocide. Tragedy is never easy to deal with, but Rwandans have been good about deciding to forgive, but not to forget the 800,000 Tutsis who were murdered. They are moving on and working towards rebuilding their society. Although Paul Rusesabagina may not view himself as a hero in this situation, he was brave enough to put his life on the line numerous times in order to save a life. His dedication, quick thinking, and bravery saved over a thousand lives and those people will forever be grateful to their Rwandan...

...we do this, we will only solve the effect. So, I think that if we want to reduce and prevent crimes from happening, we should do so by looking into what exactly is causing the crimes. We then can find precautions that we can take and perhaps over time these problems that seem so detrimental today, will soon subside over time. Crime is not something that can be stopped. Today, it has almost become part of a norm to break a law. Whether that be something as simple as speeding or littering, to even the most extreme; theft or murder. Common deviance such as these have now become a part of todays everyday living. There is no way to stop crime completely, however there are some ways that society can help prevent crime. First and foremost, it is undeniable that most people commit negative activities due to dire need of money to sustain their everyday lives. Todays lifestyle is expensive and not every one can afford necessities. Examples of offenses include being thieves, robbing, killing for money or out of aggression, etc. If only there was provided a proper job to earn a living, I am sure that they will not go to the extent of hurting others to get money. Apart from these offenses, by providing each citizen with equal opportunities of education, everyone will be educated. Many children today can not distinguish what is wrong or right. Over time there has been almost a mute rule on teachers of a young age to talk about crime. Crime is never...

...Carry reusable shopping bags at least some of the time, and save on plastic and paper bags. Waste less. There are hundreds of opportunities to nurture a zero waste culture. Use both sides of a paper, carry your own mugs to coffee shops and bring your own bags when you go shopping, or get printer cartridges refilled instead of replacing them. Compost food scraps, avoid bottled water and other packaged products, upgrade computers rather than buying new ones... the list is endless! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or should I say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things that are still okay. Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles (plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in garbage and at the same time we’re doing our part in recycling process. Be responsible with your garbage, dispose them properly. Also try to use segregation scheme with your trashes, separate those decomposable from those that are not. You may utilize a compost pit to house all of your organic trashes and eventually use this as your fertilizer for your backyard garden or to your plants. Do the traditional way of helping to conserve our environment by virtue of avoiding...

...Environmental Fundamentals ENV/100 Environmental Fundamentals The fundamental principles of environmental science will be discussed in this paper and the definition of environmental science along with the elements and principles related to it will be addressed. The concept of environmental sustainability and the historic patterns surrounding will be describe, along with human values and how it affects the challenges in society. Examples of environmental hazards and how they affect the health of humans will also be provided. There are many environmental issues facing the world today. To try to understand how the natural world functions is not an easy concept to comprehend and definitely not an easy responsibility to put on society. This is why it is important to know and recognize the significance of environmental science. Environmental science is the interdisciplinary study of humanity’s relationship with other organisms and the nonliving physical environment. As human population continues to reproduce, as technology progresses and the wants and needs of humans multiply, society’s impacts on the world become harsher, despite the improvement in some areas. Environmental impacts can affect the health of humans and a human’s wellbeing. After reviewing research on the environment, environmental hazards directly affect human health. One major environmental hazard to human health is pesticides. These pesticides...

...that are not taken can literally be analyzed on a personal stance. Before I get into the poem I would just like to take the time to make this a reality. We all know the singer Whitney Houston passed away a few weeks ago. Her life can be analyzed as being two roads and which one she should have taken. Whitney grew up in a church in New Jersey where she began singing in the church choir. Her career took off in 1987 officially. Fast forward a few years and the good girl we knew seemed to crumble up before our eyes. Whitney married Bobby Brown and had a daughter Bobbi Kristina. Whitney and Bobby’s relationship soon became a downhill ride over powered by drugs and alcohol. We thought by looking at her, that her career was over. She proved us wrong by coming back more faith driven than ever before and with a new attitude. You see in “The Road Not Taken”, you have a decision to make as to which road you will pave for your life. Whitney chose her road and is at peace with it. Let us analyze the poem to see which road we will take. In the following paper, Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”, will be broken up to show the theme, settings, and symbolism. We have choices in life that we must make. The choices that we have to make may consist of things like the direction to take, which...

...garbage twice a day and out to the curb once a week. I realized when one gets into the habit of getting rid of things on a regular basis you don't really understand how much you're getting rid of. So I decided to do a little experiment. I would try keeping the non-compostable waste that only I produced in the back seat of my car to see how much of an impact I was making towards the weekly garbage dumps. I figured it would take about a week for the garbage to pile up to unacceptable levels, but I was wrong. After only two days the trash was spilling out when I opened the car door, and that's when I first realized how unsustainable our current consumer society has become. My car experiment was simply a small scale version of any Americans waste footprint. Americans get so accustom the convenience of throwing things away that they cannot realize how much waste they are actually producing. The second contributing factor to the problem is that America has become a disposable society. What that means is that because there is an abundance of products available to the consumer, the consumer can then imply the abundance to mean that there is no need to keep things when they can simply throw them away and buy another. People used to fix things when they broke, but now after seeing so many bigger...
