2. Conservation Of Biodiversity On The Face Of The Growing...
Conservation of Biodiversity in the face of the recently growing threat of Climate Change Due to
improved healthcare and sanitation, the size of human population is ever increasing with detrimental
effects on the environment. The use of the planets resources and human disruption is currently in
excess to what is considered sustainable, which has led to damage to the Earth s flora and fauna. The
issue of conservation has been long recognised. It takes many forms and can span from conservation
of national parks as early as the late 1800s. Conservation is often described to be the maintenance of
biodiversity through either human action or management. The importance of conservation is crucial in
order to protect both animals and plants by maintaining biodiversity (variation in genes, species and
ecosystems) within the environment. Through loss of biodiversity, we anticipate disruptions within
natural food chains leading to nutritional disruption across multiple species, altered mating behaviours
that contributes to endangerment of species as well as a loss of livelihood for those dependent upon
plants and other natural resources. In the case of the Giant Panda deforestation is having detrimental
effects as bamboo forests are being cut down for timber, paper, and to make room for infrastructure.
Often, in areas roads are built between areas of forests that have been cleared so pandas are
endangered as they cross roads and risk their lives to search for more bamboo. One

3. How Is Athens Citizenship
Athens Citizenship In the beginning of the sixth century BCE the idea of people participating in a role
of society started to develop and later evolved into the status of people given by their government;
citizenship. With citizenship came the theory of social contract, which stated that if a citizen does their
part for their nation their nation shall do theirs. As the theory evolved the Roman republic focused
more on how their people interacted with the other citizens and participated in their government rather
than the citizen s responsibility which was the main emphasis in the city state of Athens. Athens had
stricter guidelines to become a citizen, but allowed more freedom when they have received the title of
being a citizen, unlike the Romans, which constricted their citizens based on their initial background
and/or gender (Citizenship in Athens and Rome Background Essay). The Athenian city state had an
overall superior citizenship organization than the Romans because there citizens had the ability to

Citizens have a say in society changing events
a) In the Athenian society all citizens were able to voice their own opinions and agree on the actions
being done in a democratic way to benefit society.
b) In document D it states that each citizen writes down a name of a person who they think is
becoming too powerful for their status in society and in the end the person with their name written
down the most is to be ostracized. This demonstrates the act of being any citizen able to impact
society by voicing their own opinion in a fair way.
c) Also in document E it shows that all citizens of Athens were able to attend the meetings of the
Assembly, which discussed the matters of their society in a political manner this clearly shows that the
citizens that attended these meetings at the Pnyx were able to interact with the laws and regulations of
their own society.

I believe that if engineers were adamant about their findings and their concern for the flight, the Flight
Center would have taken them seriously and delayed the flight until the engineers could properly
study the effects of temperatures on the o rings. It seemed to be the same sort of issue with the Space
Shuttle Columbia, where the individuals involved in testing and ensuring a safe take off and landing,
with all aspects of the Space Shuttle in best possible working order were not communicating
effectively. Because there was not proper testing and incomplete information on the foam insulation,
the shuttle was pushed to launching, resulting in the disaster. I believe the single most important
aspect of both disasters was the importance of funding to the NASA program, and the appearance of
the United States to be a forerunner in Space travel. If there was not such intense pressure on NASA to
perform and maintain its advancement in the Space Program there is a high probability that the lives

Since the mid 20th century an unlikely formidable alliance had slowly began to flourish in South Asia.
China and Pakistan s alliance began in the early 1960 s through the early 1970 s when conflicts
between India vs. China and Pakistan had intensified. The Sino Indian war that took place in 1962
ended as fast as it began. Along with the war that had taken place between India and Pakistan in 1965
and in 1971 when another indo Pakistani war erupted and East Pakistan claimed independence and is
known today as Bangladesh (Hagerty, 2002). In this comparison China and Pakistan had identified
their similar interests with their historical and geographical concerns in maintaining India s power and
influence within Southeast Asia (Federal China Security Affairs Group [FCSAG], 2010). These are
known as Geo Political interests. There are many definitions of geopolitics but this one more
specifically entails the competition over the control of territory and extraction of resources (Jonatan,

7. Essay about Illegal Aliens Have the Right to Healthcare
Everyday people are sent to the hospital. Not only are they in fear of losing their life but also in fear of
being in debt due to the prices of health care treatment they need. But what if this patient happens to
be an illegal alien? What if the patient has a foreign illness that needs to be cured so it does not
spread? Should healthcare providers continue to provide (s) he with treatment even if they cannot pay?
Or should illegal aliens be treated just like any other patients by having a right to health care?

What the illegal aliens want are jobs that will potentially give them a higher wage in comparison to
the country they came from. To effectively weigh whether providing health care to immigrants should
be considered a right or privilege, one would have to consider how much they contribute to economic
growth. A Pew study from last year showed that undocumented immigrants add 600,000 to 700,000
new consumers to the economy every year. Since consumption makes up 70 percent of economic
activity in the U.S., this is important (and of course, more consumption means more sales tax
revenue). Immigration is also expected to account for one forth of the Census Bureau s estimated labor
force growth through 2012. Some economic estimates gauge that undocumented immigrants
contribute $22 billion, in total, to the economy each year a number that would increase if they were
given the opportunity to become legal (Karvounis, 2007). This evidence suggests that illegal aliens are
actually giving back to the nation by doing all of the dirty, low income jobs and are only using
approximately $11 billion in health care and they are contributing about $22 billion a year to the
economy. Although these illegals only using half of what they give, they contribute more then what
they use.

have been achieved the employee will seek to fulfil the next set of needs.
The first set of needs are the physiological or biological needs. These needs include basic life needs
such as: air, food, drink, water, shelter, warmth or sleep. By offering employees an extremely fair
wage Waitrose employees are able to pay for their physiological needs such as food and shelter.

able to pay for their physiological needs after retirement. Employees can also take comfort in the fact
that the business is doing well, as they don t need to worry about losing their job due to Waitrose
needing to make cuts.
The next set of needs are belongingness needs. This set of needs include family, affections,
relationships or colleagues. Waitrose promote a team environment by taking employees on leisure
activities. These excursions allow employees to get to know each other while taking part in leisure
activities that they will enjoy. Waitrose also help to satisfy these belongingness needs by allowing

that the consumer has to spend, and money that publishers have to spend. Knowledge gives power, but
when that knowledge costs even a couple of cents, no consumer wants to pay for it. Why? Because

12. Kant Disinterestedness
Reflective judgement requires taking into account Kant s four factors of beauty: quality, necessity,
universality, and purposiveness. When applying judgement to an object, a person must first inspect the
quality of the object. Whether or not an object is able to instill the feeling of pleasure or displeasure on
the observer. However, the pleasure one acquires from an object must not be limited to the observer s
personal desires. That is, he must not secretly crave the objects. By suppressing one s desire for an
object, the observer perverts his judgement of the object. Consequently, in the section entitled Second
Moment , Kant believes that a person judges beauty through the unbiased concept of disinterestedness.

object stimulating. The problem lies in the fact that we cannot locate the source of the object s
purpose. That is to say, the object draws the observer to it, stimulates the senses, and fills the observer
with a yearning to inquire more about the object. For Kant, in order for an object to be beautiful, we
must recognize that the object has a purpose. However, we cannot limit the purpose of the object
based on its utility. These four factors are what Kant believes validates his theory that judgements of

there is a harm. Considering the analysis. There is a high possibility to prove liability to M under the
tort of battery. However, P may be also liable under the tort of negligence because P had a duty not to
harm M which was breached and that breach of duty caused the M s injury. That injury would not
have happened if P did not breach his duty. The injury of M may be reasonably foreseeable because if
someone took a wild swing to attack an individual, then the injury or harm is easily predictable. By

South Africa on January 3, 1892 to Arthur Reuel Tolkien and Mabel Suffield. Arthur and Mabel were

Industrialization occurred in Britain in the 1750s due to the environmental and social climate prime
for mechanization in industries. Due to the change in economic exportations from agricultural to
mechanized products, Britain s society began to change as people migrated to work in factories. The
migration of the newfound middleclass led to mass urbanization of various areas in England which
contrasted the previous quintessential English countryside that had dominated the nation. Through the
expansion of mechanical goods, the countryside lost land to factories and the environment was also
deeply affected by the influx of smoke climbing into the air. Contrary to the environmental problems,
the British were experienced economic glory as the became a superpower in the advancing
technologies. Through the industrialization, Britain would develop advanced war machines and would
vastly change British society hundreds of years later in 20th century London. JRR Tolkien was
profoundly affected by industrialization throughout his time in World War I. Beginning in 1915,
Tolkien was enlisted in the war but it did take much time for him to leave: in November of the same
year he was sent back to London because he was diagnosed with Trench fever. Although he soon
recovered from the illness by christmas it was recurring through 1917 to 1918. Despite this epidemic,
Tolkien continued to make camp visits to various army bases in London. In a particular visit to the
Hull area, Tolkien and Edith had been walking in the woods when Edith danced for him in a place
filled of hemlock. This inspired Tolkien in the Legendarium or The Silmarillion as is is now known, as

15. Human Perception Of The World
Introduction Our perception of the world as individuals is unusually thought of because we are
unaware of the physiological and psychological capabilities our brains possess. Through sound,
recognition, and vision, animals have inherited these traits for generations. One significant factor
pertaining to who we are and how we perceive the world around us are influenced by the genes
inherited in our lineage. One particular trait that is important in our lives is color vision and color
blindness, particularly cone dysfunction syndrome. Cone dysfunction syndrome is a heterogeneous
group of inherited disorders resulting from a mutation of photopigment genes (Simunovic 1998). This
rare form of visual deficiency can branch from achromatopsia, ... Show more content on

The red green opsins are the most susceptible for mutation due to the localization of each protein,
producing color blindness. The localization of the red and green opsins is near each other and contains
ninety eight percent identical in their DNA sequences (Sanders et al 2012). Mutations in these genes
are caused by an error during crossover in prophase I of female meiosis. It occurs in female meiosis
rather than male meiosis due to the fact that opsin genes are produced by the X linked chromosome
which females possess. This states that mothers are the sole carriers of color blindness and it is rare for
a female to express color blindness. Dalton s eyes contributed to the understanding of color vision 150
years after his death. His interests on color blindness have paved the way to understand color
deficiency in our society.
Achromatopsia
In Color Vision and Genetics in a Case of Cone Dysfunction Syndrome, Crognale and Neitz ask the
question: How drastic are genetic variability s influential to our perception of color vision? To further
answer this question, both researchers analyzed cone dysfunction syndrome and how it varies from
normal color vision by having a patient in the study with an abnormal case of color vision ranging
between achromatopsia to mild green deficiencies. Achromatopsia is the condition in which people
perceive the world only of shades of grey while having normal cones in the retina (Snowden 2006).

IV. Conflictual nature of international relations in the Gulf
The second systemic cause of instability is that of the anarchical nature of the regional international

patterns. For the past 30 years the Gulf has seen three major interstate conflicts, each leading to the
next and entrenching conflict as the only mode of interaction.
These clashes carried significant neorealist undertones . For example, in 1980 Iraq attacked Iran,
because, it can be argued from a neorealist perspective, Iran was isolated and weakened by internal
revolutionary struggles, while the pre existing balance of power had shifted in Iraq s favour. In this

Broadly, conducting factor analysis (FA) allows a researcher to analyze or interpret his or her data
(e.g., measured variables) by reducing those variables into factors or components that underlie the
structure or explain the greatest amount of variance in the data (Thompson, 2004). Thompson (2004)
also tells us that FA may be used for many purposes, the most common of which is to uncover a

Terminology of Consequence
Before continuing, some basic terminology used in discussion of factor analysis and factor analytic
methods should be clarified. Communality coefficients (h2), according to Thompson (2004), reveal
...how much of the variance of a given measured variable was useful in delineating the factors as a set
(p. 20). Alternately, communality coefficients represent the proportion of that variable s variance that
is explained by the underlying factor. Additionally, the communality coefficient can be thought of as a
lower bound estimate of a score s reliability (Thompson, 2004).

Alternative Therapies September 23, 2006 Reiki is a laying on of hands touch healing system of
incomparable ease and power (Stein, 1995, p. 8). In simpler terms, it is a Japanese form of stress
reduction and relaxation that in turn, promotes healing. Reiki can be defined in several ways, however,
each relates back to healing through energy. The Reiki energy has intelligence far beyond human
knowledge, and all it takes to activate it is to place your hands on the positions or where there is pain.
The energy will do the healing and do it well (Stein, 1995, p. 8). Most people place their hands on the

It is the attunements themselves that are Reiki and without this process, the healing system is not
Reiki but something else (Stein, 1995, p. 17). Once you have achieved Reiki III you can receive the
Masters degree and go on to teach other students. Reiki is taught in three levels or degrees. In Reiki I,
the attunement itself heals physical level diseases in the person who receives it (Stein, 1995, p.17).
Health often improves for the better in months following the treatment. The first degree is primarily
focused how to do full body treatments on self and others. Stein (1995) states, The Reiki II attunement
measurably increases the amount of healing energy, and the attunement focuses upon emotional,
mental, and karmic healing in the person who receives it (p. 18). This primarily involves learning the
sounds and symbols which are used during Reiki. Once the second attunement is complete, old
emotions, unhealed former situations, negative memories, any past lives will resurface to be healed at
last (Stein, 1995). This process may take up to 6 months; however, the process is positive and
necessary. Healing with Reiki II adds a considerable amount of power to each Reiki session. In Reiki
II, three of the Reiki symbols are introduced and used consciously for the first time. Whereas, In Reiki
I, the symbols are already in the healer s aura and they emerge unconsciously through her hands when

Explanation of Issues Forte stated that systems have been compared to machines, bodies, and species
(Forte, 2007, p 170). Characteristics of a smoothly running machine are coordination and an

parts of the machine (Forte, 2007, p 170). The reason Systems Theory applies to the Brown family is
because all of the parts of the family are struggling independently but by determining how each

Theresa have difficulties appropriately interacting with their system which then in turn means their
behaviors will directly affect their children s behaviors. At the basic level, Steve did not graduate from
high school, does not pay his tax returns and has an unstable relationship with his wife. Theresa is in
poor medical health and is dependent on her adult daughter at this time. Neither parent stays in regular

such gold IRA scams, demand on legal documents from your custodian, ensuring an access to
organize, view, and recover your gold from the storage. Scam Example 1: Promoting Numismatic
Coins ( coins that rarely appreciate) In this gold IRA scam, dealers will convince the customers to
spend more money than they should be. Investors should be buying bullion coins, which are not as
profitable to sell compared to the numismatic coins. Thus, the pushy upselling techniques to buy
numismatic coins because they are rare or historic can have wrong motives. The fact that numismatic
coins are not permitted to be stored in the precious metal IRA and that they have an extremely low
liquidity will be conveniently hidden. This form of scam can also con the investors by giving a false
assurance that numismatic coins may not be seized by the government in any circumstances. To

Before the decision of our final residential location choice model, we tested how preferences of
residential location are different among age and income groups. Stratifying the sample of households
by age and income is helpful to identify some of the heterogeneity in housing preferences among
different market segments as well as investigate whether differences of location preferences exist
between different groups. All the household location choice models performed reasonably well as
shown in table 1, 2, and 3. The empirical results show that different age groups have different
residential location preferences. As shown in Table 1, the access to employment is statistically
significant and positive in Groups 1 and 3 but insignificant in Group 2. This result implies that job
opportunity is an important factor in the household residential location choice decision, especially for
the young and old household groups. On the other hand, households in Group 2 do not tend to prefer
the location where job opportunity is relatively good, although it is not statistically significant. Rather,
land price is positive and significant in Group 2, which means they are likely to choose the location
where land price is high. This may be because most households in Group 2 consider their children s

what is acceptable and what is not. So, what people learn or act in the society can guide them to

Imperialism is when a world power colonizes a smaller country or kingdom, and then proceeds to
exploit the land and resources of the kingdom or country. Through the majority of the 18th century,
imperialism was a dominant force on global relations. During the peak of the Age of Imperialism,
Queen Victoria and her British empire dominated the world. British Imperialism started in the late
1700 s because of population growth and the advances in technology industrialism that occurred
during the Industrial Revolution. The areas that the British imperialized during this time period

Christianity around the world as a prevailing religion became and infectious force brought about by
Imperialism. Many of the people who decided to settle different countries were people who were
looking for new opportunities, with the exception of many of those who settled in Australia, which
was used as isolation territory for dangerous criminals. Imperialism reached its height during the early
mid 1800 s, and the decline of Britain s imperial empire was around the 1960 s.
The urge to expand the British Empire led the British to seek out and conquer India. They controlled
India from around the 1750 s to 1947. Before they colonized India and made it part of the British
Empire, the British first began trading with India in the early 1600 s. Britain first started exerting
control over parts of India in the late 1700 s with the start of a trade business known as the East India

34. Argumentative Essay On The Black Mirror
The stand alone series Black Mirror , features an episode titled Nosedive directed by Joe Wright. In
the show, a seemingly ideal woman named Lacie Pound lives in a status obsessed world, and struggles
to express herself. At first, Lacie is described as this merry, popular, and fun person to be around. But
then we see that Lacie tries to fit in with everybody else, and struggles with that objective. So she
begins to have courage in herself to say and do whatever she wants, even if society disagrees with her
defiance. In the end, Lacie is finally able to find her voice and express her individuality, even though
ultimately she is put behind bars. Therefore, Joe Wright suggests that even though social hierarchy is
valued in society, it does not promote one s self expression or individuality. In other words, Nosedive
displays the negative impact of social standings on people who are not a true fit with what society
views as perfect.
At the start of the episode, we take a glimpse of where Lacie lives. The beautiful topiary of the trees,
clean roads and sidewalks, all picture perfect. The scene later changes to Lacie interacting with her
brother Ryan, who is described as an apathetic gamer that consumes himself in his game instead of his

conditions.
In chapter 5, Riis focuses mainly on Italian immigrants. He speaks about how mostly
Italians did their jobs without no complaints and put up with those who needed it. With that being
said, a lot of the time Italians were then being taken advantage of for their labor and not speaking an
ounce of English made things even more difficult for them. Many worked in ash barrels or even in
dumpsters. They occasionally also gambled and police would have to get involved due to violence
such as death. Overall, despite being somewhat like slaves by landlords and the rich and trying to have

The market liberalization in Europe and Asia is enabling Low Cost Carriers (LCC) to expand and gain
market share, exerting a downward pressure on airfares. In European Airline industry, the market
share of LCC has increased from 17% in 2005 to 23% in 2013 . The LCC capacity on departing flights
grew by 6.8% worldwide from 2012 to 2013. The growth is especially remarkable in the emerging

In 2004, the Commission set to evaluate the effects of the Guidelines as part of its congressionally
mandated 15 year review of federal sentencing practice. The 1991 Report was a short term impact
review that only evaluated data once the Guidelines were full implementation in 1990. The 2004
Report picks up where the 1991 Report left off by focusing on three primary areas of assessments:
Guidelines impact on transparency and rationality of sentencing and severity of punishment, impact of
Guidelines on inter judge and regional disparity, and research on racial, ethnic, and gender disparities

Congress sought to reform the sentencing system by designing sentencing Guideline rules that were
uniformly to control disparity. In order to reform the sentencing system, Congress created the
Sentencing Commission in charge of designing a new sentencing system using multiple sources to
evaluate the means to control the source of disparity (Bowman, 1996; Fifteen Years of Guidelines,
2004). Once the Guidelines were created and implemented, studies conducted by the Commission
reports that it has increased drastically especially for drug offenses due to different adaptations to the
Guidelines and the different types of offenses prosecuted in different regions (Fifteen Years of
Guidelines, 2004). The variation in sentence lengths is analyzed based on the data evidence shows 73
percent of differences in federal sentence length causing unwarranted disparity (Fifteen Years of
Guidelines, 2004). The cause of unwarranted disparity is influenced by policies promulgated by
Congress that were supposedly designed to amend the effects of uneven charging and plea bargaining
decisions. With prosecutors in control of determining an offenders sentencing, they can impose several
enhancement to depart from the Guidelines to provide leniency. However, such enhancement resulted
in sentences disproportional to the appropriate serious of the offense that would be otherwise applied
to the case (Fifteen Years of Guidelines, 2004). The Commission reports there is little empirical

48. Liberal Arts Bubble Essay
Martin Luther King Junior said, Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education. Higher
education does not exist for the sole purpose of preparing students for future jobs; it s there in order to
prepare individuals for life where they are expected to participate in their community, their
government, and the lives of those around them. Liberal arts, in particular, exist for the broadening of
students minds in order for them to be successful not only in their chosen career but also in their lives
outside of it. Liberal arts lost their past popularity during the last few decades, but they shouldn t be
disregarded in favor of technical and professional degrees because they still provide students with
skills that are perhaps less tangible, but no less necessary for life in modern world.
First and foremost there needs to be an established understanding of what liberal arts are. In the article
Why Choose Liberal Arts? Mark William Roche explains that liberal arts were originally intended for
free men, those who weren t being educated for the sole purpose of gaining a livelihood, but rather for
the sake of being educated and included things like grammar, rhetoric, arithmetic, music and
astronomy. He then goes on to clarify the meaning of liberal arts today as a general education that is a
broad grounding in the diverse disciplines. Furthermore, in his article, The Liberal Arts Bubble John

50. Building A Strong Faith Community Essay
Building a strong faith community is the primary mission of St. Timothy Catholic School.
Consequently, administrators and teachers work together to provide students with formal religious
education, enriched with faith centered activities and assignments. Through such activities as
sacramental preparation, saint reports, and devotions to Mary, students are encouraged to learn about
their faith, develop a deep and personal relationship with Jesus, and spread the good news.
Furthermore, as primary educators of their children, parents are welcome to participate in the school
faith community. Most notably, St. Timothy School parents developed the Mary s Corner component
of the school website. Contributing to the Catholic identity, Mary s Corner is a parent created and
maintained blog on faith filled activities, and other information that helps parents stay connected to
the faith community.
The St. Timothy School Infiorata To foster and enhance the faith community, St. Timothy Catholic
School held an Infiorata. Traditionally, Infiorata is a flower art festival held in Italy, among other
countries, as a prelude to the feast of Corpus Christi. In this centuries old tradition, townspeople
throughout Italy work through the night on Saturday, to cover the streets with religious images
depicted using only flower petals. On Sunday morning, in celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi,
the bishop carries the Blessed Sacrament in procession, walking on the flower carpet.

Lime miners stumbled across the remains in a cave belonging to a bear; the fossils were then given to
a local teacher and amateur naturalist, Prof. Dr. Johann Carl Fuhlrott. (Tattersall) He identified them as
being very old and distinctly different from any other human bones he had seen before. Fuhlorrt then

I believe that the impact generated by this element towards the entertainment industry is significant,
principally in music. As people may have witnessed, the music industry has been a direct victim of the
digital era and piracy, leaving many questions about what might happen and forcing industry experts,
labels, artists and entrepreneurs to re think their marketing strategies and re invent themselves. As a
result, Streaming services like Pandora, Apple ITunes Match or Spotify came to the world as several
options for music consumption, yet I believe they are artist unfriendly, especially for emerging acts.
When a user wants to subscribe into any of these services, they are required to enter their credit card
details. In the case of Spotify, artists earn the sum of 0.07 cents per streaming; this means that they

Leonhardt begins his article by providing readers with a historical background on the Japanese
economy. He then uses this background to display a contrast between wealth and satisfaction; this
contrast lead to the Easterlin Paradox. Consequently, this research became communal in social science
as it challenges the previous association with money to happiness. Afterwards, Leonhardt proposes his
argument as he introduces a new research. In this research, two economists argue against the Easterlin
Paradox. They believe that money does aid in bringing happiness even if not guaranteed. In addition,
both researchers and Leonhardt discuss that absolute income is more important than relative income.
