An assessment should then be carried out to determine who the winners and losers are of the fashion high–street retailers and this has been completed
in the same report. Value and young retailers, supermarkets, mid–market retailers and specialist retailers (in particular foot–wear) have been analysed,
by terms of sales, to define which retailers have succeeded and which have suffered during the recession. By comparing these retailers, it can be
understood what the succeeding retailers have offered consumers over the suffering retailers. Value retailers have stood out in this report as being a
beneficiary of the downturn "this growth has been driven by a number of economic factors, particularly consumers' keenness to obtain value for money
and genuine pressure on their household budgets, leading them to trade down on many items. Given continued reductions in clothing prices, fashion
has been particularly attractive relative to other household spending categories" (Mintel, 2010). The report suggests that "as might be expected, taking
advantage of sales and offers is more common among those spending less last year as well as in 2010, as is shopping more often in value clothing
stores or trading down to less expensive stores than usual". The report 'Clothing Retailing – Europe – 2009' suggests that "when the economy starts to

Today I will be talking about the research I did on quick change methodology. This is a very fascinating and important topic for the machining
process in all plants across the world. The topics that will be covered in this paper are as follows defining quick change methodology and tooling for
machining with an overview history and recent advancements, SMED overview history and recent advancements, then a compare and contrast of
quick change methodology and SMED, and to wrap up the paper I will illustrate how I can use this information to improve a manufacturing process I
am familiar with. These were great research topics and I learned a ton of great valuable information that would be very useful in future endeavors.
First I will talk about defining quick change methodology and tooling for machining with an overview history and recent advancements. It is a modular
system that allows tools to be changed rapidly on a machine during the initial part setup and the tool change after a tool is worn out. The system
radically decreases machine downtime for tool change for the duration of setup changes. It is also for changing worn out inserts during machining.
Normally a tool is fastened by putting it into a slot in the turret and tightening screws to hold it resolutely. With doing this older process of fastening the
tool, extreme care must be taken to seat the holder correctly against existing butting surfaces. Then the tool offsets must be set by touching the part or

Cause And Effect On Climate Change
Climate change has growing negative effects in the environment and in many societies. Climate change affects everyone from any race, nationality,
gender, and religion. However, many of the victims of the fast–changing climate are the people or nations who have least contributed to its fast speed.
Climate naturally changes on earth and it's been happening for centuries, however due to human activities, the pace of climate change became faster.
This caused problematic effects like pollution and more environmental disasters which resulted to people losing lives. This showed the importance to
address the fast–changing climate due to anthropogenic actions. This is the reason why international efforts to slow down climate change were created.
International agreements were placed to help preserve the earth and reduce the impacts of climate change. One of these international agreements was
Kyoto Protocol which was set in place to address the increasing greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Greenhouse gases are gases that cause the
earth to have a faster change on climate. It caused the climate to change faster than what it should have been which caused many environmental issues.
However, due to some issues of power and politics, countries who are supposed to support it and could have made a significant impact on its success
did not conform to the protocol. Instead they pulled out. The Kyoto Protocol, at that time, is the only international binding treaty to cut carbon

The fact that Staples has shut down some of the infrastructures has taken a direct deduction from their income. Staples reported $96 million in net
income, a figure that marks a 43.5% decline over the prior–year period and resulted in earnings of 15 cents per share. These results include tax charges
as well as expenses related to the closing of 16 stores during the quarter; excluding these one–time charges (McGrath, 2014). Even though technology
does play an enormous role in our lives, infrastructures still are important and do appeal to all generations because it is a physical building where
we can all find what we are looking for or at least have assistance in doing so. In addition, another weakness would be the pricing of the products.
Now that Staples has adapted to selling their products mostly on their online stores, many customers might have the issue of paying not only tax
but also shipping and handling as well. Paying tax is already one of the big factors of buying anything, especially in the province in Ontario since
we are known to have one of the highest tax rates in Canada. As said by Forbes Magazine Staples decreased 10% part of that reason is from foreign
exchange rates. Having shipping and handling as a new factor can cause more decrease in income annually over the years. With competitive pricing

Climate Change : Causes And Effects Essay
Climate change:
Climate change is caused mainly by increase of human activity and industrialisation. For example, activities such as driving cars, farming, burning coal
and cutting down forests produce greenhouse gases – mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which are emitted into the atmosphere, which
create a layer of greenhouse gases around the earth and trap the sun 's heat.
The earth over its 4.5 billion–year history has naturally fluctuated from ice ages to extreme droughts, however in the last 10,000 years or so, the
climate became much more stable and sustainable for human beings to live. However, in the past 50–100 years, particularly in the 21st century, with
increased human activity like agriculture, transportation, etc, green houses gases have increased majorly and have caused extreme events such as
increased floods, storms, cyclones, droughts and landslips. The weather is not only warming up but is also becoming much colder in areas in an
extremely fast rate.
Climate change is occurring worldwide, as it is effecting the earth directly. However, these are areas on Earth that are already feeling the impact of
climate change more than others. For example,
Satellite measurements have showed that the waters of Australia 's Great Barrier Reef have warmed by 0.2 degrees Celsius on average over the past
25 years which have led to a decline in the amount of seafloor covered in coral. A 2012 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National

Population Dynamics and Its Effects on Climate Change Policy
Population dynamics and its effects of climate change policy Population growth and its effects on climate change have been hotly debated in recent
years by scientists and politicians alike. The Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC has sparked great interest and concern over climate change and
how it affects countries differently. The concept of environmental justice has focused onclimate change's unbalanced effects on developing countries,
whose populations are more vulnerable to climate change. With rapidly growing populations and inadequate resources and technologies, developing
countries have struggled to develop their economy sustainability. The relationship betweenpopulation and climate change is grossly oversimplified by
the idea that as population increase so does its effect on climate change. Realistically, population and climate change affect each other through economic
trends, development patterns, society, institutions and the government. Population dynamics is not simply the number of people in a given space.
Rather, it is the distribution and continuously changing demographics that make population dynamics a complex but important factor in climate
change policy. In recent climate change and environmental protection discussions, developed countries have strongly suggested or even imposed
environmental policies upon developing countries. This has caused tension and misunderstandings on both sides as developing countries strive for the

Eventually, this will cause the native people a hard time to hunt them. We are facing temperature that we had never experienced before. Many people

will want to save the planet, but eventually it will be too late. I have acknowledged that not many people are making an effort to be a Good
Samaritan. Just looking at local cities, the lack of recycling effort resident shows impacts drastically around the world. Imagine these local cities, plus
thousands/millions more around the world, refusing on doing an ecological act of recycling and reusing materials. These acts might not look bad for
one person, but if you sum all the people doing it around the world, it adds up to an enormous number. A lot of those people doing all those filthy acts

Primarily, this concept can be demonstrated by first analyzing the mass disappearance of bee populations worldwide in the course of the last decade
or so (although, this has been happening in hundreds of countries for more than a century). Even though we have shed a light on the overarching
importance of preserving and saving bee populations, as their role as a pollinator and keystone species in the ecological pyramid has been deemed to
be one of the most critical for sustainability, many people are left wondering what their contribution to the bee population die–off could have been.
Several individuals might assume that the only way they contributed to the issue was occasionally killing a bee when it swarmed around them, and
that most of the bee population decline needs to be addressed at the corporate agricultural level, when that's truly not the case at all. As a matter of fact,

The current status of society and how we see homosexuality in today's world is

U.S. is catching on and moving from one state to another. There are 18 states and a
continuously growing number of countries that now recognize gay marriages. America has come a long way with this victory of recognizing same
sex marriages and being open minded enough not to judge those who chose to go the route of same sex marriage and or being a transgender The

because that allows us to understand each other better. While there are obvious civil
liberty issues concerning social governmental oversight of personal sexual behavior,

The Effects Of Climate Change On The United States
Our climate plays an important role in human societies and affects agriculture, ecosystems, our natural environment and our health.
Human activities such as pollution and deforestation, has changed the climate as a whole, leading to an increased amount of greenhouse gases such
as carbon dioxide to enter the atmosphere. The effects of this has led to higher sea levels, loss of sea ice and an increase in heat waves across the globe.
A recent report released by the Environmental Protection Agency, titled "Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action" suggest that
climate change impacts can be reduced or avoided through greenhouse gas mitigation. It focuses on the physical and economic risks of unmitigated
climate change and the benefits the United States would have if they tackled the issue of climate change in a timely manner.
Michael C. Veres, an Assistant Professor of Climatology at SUNY Oswego, suggests that before the nation as a whole begin to address the issue of
climate it's important for citizens to know the difference between "climate change" and "global warming".
"Climate change refers to any change in the climate, regardless of the cause and can refer to warm and cold over the ice ages over the past one

The major contributors to climate change so far had been the Industrial Revolution and the invention and wide–spread use of the gasoline powered
automobile. The world had now become industrialized and new technologies were constantly being invented. The next big event to come from this
happened soon after 1945. After the end of World War II in 1945 the world's economy started to recover. This sent industrial production into overdrive.
The automobile industry quadrupled and major corporations became bigger than ever before (Jeffries). The United States had begun to feel the effects
of industrialization in the 18th century, but at the end of World War II the economy was beginning to pick up sending the United States into another
period of industrialization. The burning of all this coal and oil put pollution into the atmosphere, partially blocking the sun's rays. This effect caused the

started getting warmer again, and the phrase "global warming" was now used in some research papers (Jeffries).
Human induced climate change was not created on purpose. During the industrial revolution, it was not known that coal was a greenhouse gas and that

and 50 per cent of the world's population now lives in urban environments. This proportion is expected to rise to 70 per cent by 2050" (Parfitt et al.,

for success. Fad diets usually change the foods consumed by the dieter. As the fads change, so does the demand for different types of food. As the
demand for one food item increases, the demand of others decrease. Due to the constant changes, it is extremely difficult for farmers to plan what
they need to grow. As farmers fail to predict the amount of crops needed, the extra food is more likely to become waste. As the predictability changes,
farmers cannot make profit. This also leads to the decline of farms.

they defined the accelerated warming by comparing the growth during the mid–1970s and the late 1990s with the rate of several decades before that.
(Wei) Bubbles of air in glacial ice trap tiny samples of Earth's atmosphere, giving scientists a history of greenhouse gases that stretches back more
than 800,000 years. The chemical makeup of the ice provides clues to the average global temperature. (Riebeek) Over many years, the earth's
temperatures have increased and will continue keep increasing. Global warming may be caused by man or by nature, but with a great deal of
research, an opinion will be formed. With the bare minimum research and knowledge on the topic of global warming, I believe that it is created and

Since winter temperatures have increased much faster than summer temperatures, it would seem to line up well with Americans preferences. On a
county–by–county basis they found, using their WPI scale, that in the past 40 years the average mean WPI score has increased, meaning over time
people are living in more and more preferable weather. Next, they calculated that approximately 80% of people live in counties where the weather has
improved. (Egan and Mullin, 2016) Lastly, Mullin and Egan discuss the problems with the perceived comfort of Americans and how this comfort will
change. Climate models show that the trend of smaller increases in summer temperatures, and higher increases in winter temperatures of the past 40
years will soon reverse. Using their WPI data and two separate scenarios for Americans future by 2099, they calculated how "pleasant" the weather
will most likely be. In the first scenario they calculated in weather pleasantness if greenhouse house emissions are stabilized shortly after 2100, and
found that approximately 71% of American counties would experience a decrease in WPI score. In the second scenario they calculated if greenhouse
emissions were left unabated by 2100, and found that approximately 88% of American counties would likely experience a decrease in WPI score.

Classic Vampirism and Recent Changes
CLASSIC VAMPIRISM AND RECENT CHANGES
Change often occurs due to the simple nature of time. What once stood as a finite and steadfast definition will shift and evolve. Genres bleed into
one another and mix mythologies. The realm of the supernatural in literature does not lie outside this trend. Wizards no longer call themselves
Merlin and spend their days under the patronage of a heroic king; the average wizard now goes by common names like Harry or Ron and attends
school, saving the world on the side. Cyclops presently means a man with laser eyes who wears leather and fights crime, not a one–eyed island beast.

In Market based Solutions To Climate Change by Richard L. Sandor says "The data shows that the climate was getting warmer and more
erratic"(689). People have known about the connection between carbon pollution in the atmosphere and the climate rising. But, it was not until
recent years that climate change has been a concern. Global warming is a tragedy waiting to happen. Climate change is real and has costs of not
only animals in the wild, but human lives as well. In Market based Solutions To Climate Change by Richard L. Sandor says "In the poles, pieces of
ice the size of Singapore are falling off of glaciers"(689). Like a terrorist attack it will come suddenly, bringing fire, floods, and other natural disasters.
Rising sea levels will cause a horde of people from impoverished communities and migrate into areas on higher ground. Therefore, climate change can
be reduced by government involvement, alternative energy and control over greenhouse gases.
Alternative energy could play a significant role in contributing to a solution on climate change. In How to Break the Climate Change Deadlock by

The Kyoto Protocol: An Attempt to Manage Global Warming...
The Kyoto protocol is one of the most important treaties signed in contemporary days. It has great limitations and is yet to evolve to another level, but
it addresses an issue that affects not one, two or ten countries – it affects the entire world. That is why countries have to work and cooperate to create a
binding legal document that sets specific standards to greenhouse gas emissions.
In recent decades we have witnessed a gradual change in our environment. Our planet is heating up very quickly which leads to the so called global

However, these everyday changes are insignificant when compared to the enormous pollution caused by production facilities of all sorts. This is why
the leaders of the most advanced countries have realized that something must be done on a larger scale. Their answer to the issue is the Kyoto Protocol.
This protocol is a part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It has been open for signing since December
1997 and is operational since 2005 and currently more than 160 countries have ratified it. It incorporates a number of legally binding commitments to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Countries that have signed the protocol agree to cut their emissions to a level slightly bellow the level in 1990
(there are variations in percentage and base year). The idea is to make a distinction between two levels of countries – Annex 1 and non–Annex 1
countries. Annex 1 countries are considered to be more dangerous to the environment so they have to make specified cuts in their emissions or suffer a
penalty. Non–Annex 1 countries are generally developing nations are presuming their economic level is not that high – they are not required to cut
emissions, rather to monitor the process and prepare for action. The Kyoto Protocol is only the first step in this direction. What is astonishing is that

Currently there is no one correct way in which to implement change; however, there is a list of 10 guiding principles that can assist managers in
transforming their organizations.
Address the culture. An organizations culture is a mix of shared values, standards, and beliefs that are framed by the founders of the business. Rather
than attempting to change this culture, managers must look for elements of the culture that align to the change, bring them to the foreground, and
attract the attention of the employees who will be affecting the change.
Begin at the top. Effective change management activity starts with the top level managers who agree that change is needed and that are fully supported
by the head of the organization. Senior level managers must act as one cohesive and committed team, employees will follow their example.
Involve everyone. Change occurs remarkably easier when all levels of employees are included early on in the change process. Employees who are
responsible for actually doing the work are the ones in the best position to identify areas where potential pitfalls exists, are in contact with the
customers and will know how they may respond to the change, and have the power to make or break the change activity.
Make a rational case for change. People respond more to a call to action that engages their emotions as well as their minds, making them feel as though

Additionally, it is said that the new standard was considering would have caused devastating harm, wiping out millions of American jobs and costing
our economy more than $1 trillion over a decade, without any significant environmental or health benefits. As we can see these facts, to work on
reducing the greenhouse gas emission, the US has to spend a lot of money. In addition to this fact, it is obvious that economic growth and increased
energy demand are closely linked to increased emissions of CO2. The US cannot go on achieving the recovery of its economy and the reduction of
greenhouse gas emission at the same time. Therefore, it will take a long time to make the US get involved in the Kyoto Protocol. It is now busy to

reasons why the US cannot be active on supporting the Kyoto protocol. I'd like to think of them in the next paragraph.

Impact of Recent Change:
Recently, there have been estimates pointing to an average of 1,000 new wells each year for the next five years, which implies that there should be
an increase in demand of oil well pumping motors. This is great news for Dominion considering they had acquired over 50% of the available market
since 1973 for these motors. The rates charged by electrical companies were also affected and instead of a flat rate for all motors, there was a monthly
base charge per horsepower. A 5 horsepower motor would be the cheapest at $125 per month, a 7.5 horsepower would be $161.25 per month, and
most expensive would be a 10 horsepower motor at $200 per month. Companies using larger horsepower motors would ... Show more content on

With the alleged penalties for the unnecessary use of a 10–hp motor to guarantee lifting oil to the surface, it made sense for companies to start using
smaller horsepower motors that still had the necessary torque needed to start and use the motor at any cold temperature. Both of these changes implied
that there would be an increase in demand for 5 horsepower motors because they are the cheapest to keep over time.
Buyer–Seller Relationship:
Initially in 1974, the salesperson hired by Dominion (Lee Smith) was not only "aggressive and capable and could talk the oil people's language," but
was also the only salesperson in the area with his skill set. This gave Dominion an early competitive advantage in Canada, and allowed Smith to
establish beneficial relationships with members at all levels of the oil companies. These relationships are beneficial when maintained over the years,
because it keeps customer retention high. However, if a company changes salespeople, and the new salesperson does not work to continue the
relationship, the customers can be inclined to pursue other options. Lee Smith had built a relationship with Hamilton over the years, but if he were to
leave the company, it can be assumed that his replacement would not keep up the relationship. This would cause someone like John Bridges to

  • 3. Has the Recent Recession Caused High Street Consumers to... The author of this essay is a consumer of high street fashion apparel and expresses a personal interest into the findings of the research. The author hopes to obtain an advanced understanding of consumer buying behaviour in the current economical climate and compare it with their own spending habits. The strategic issues that are relevant to this topic are as follows; are there specific groups of consumers being targeted when undertaking the research, what are the consumer behaviours that are notably different as a result of the recession and how have these behaviours affected the retailers. The aim of this research project is to understand the extent the high street has been affected by changes in consumer behaviour, caused by the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... An assessment should then be carried out to determine who the winners and losers are of the fashion high–street retailers and this has been completed in the same report. Value and young retailers, supermarkets, mid–market retailers and specialist retailers (in particular foot–wear) have been analysed, by terms of sales, to define which retailers have succeeded and which have suffered during the recession. By comparing these retailers, it can be understood what the succeeding retailers have offered consumers over the suffering retailers. Value retailers have stood out in this report as being a beneficiary of the downturn "this growth has been driven by a number of economic factors, particularly consumers' keenness to obtain value for money and genuine pressure on their household budgets, leading them to trade down on many items. Given continued reductions in clothing prices, fashion has been particularly attractive relative to other household spending categories" (Mintel, 2010). The report suggests that "as might be expected, taking advantage of sales and offers is more common among those spending less last year as well as in 2010, as is shopping more often in value clothing stores or trading down to less expensive stores than usual". The report 'Clothing Retailing – Europe – 2009' suggests that "when the economy starts to recover, life could get tougher for the value retailers and positioning correctly for the upturn will be important.

This is a very fascinating and important topic for the machining process in all plants across the world. The topics that will be covered in this paper are as follows defining quick change methodology and tooling for machining with an overview history and recent advancements, SMED overview history and recent advancements, then a compare and contrast of quick change methodology and SMED, and to wrap up the paper I will illustrate how I can use this information to improve a manufacturing process I am familiar with. These were great research topics and I learned a ton of great valuable information that would be very useful in future endeavors. First I will talk about defining quick change methodology and tooling for machining with an overview history and recent advancements. It is a modular system that allows tools to be changed rapidly on a machine during the initial part setup and the tool change after a tool is worn out. The system radically decreases machine downtime for tool change for the duration of setup changes. It is also for changing worn out inserts during machining. Normally a tool is fastened by putting it into a slot in the turret and tightening screws to hold it resolutely. With doing this older process of fastening the tool, extreme care must be taken to seat the holder correctly against existing butting surfaces. Then the tool offsets must be set by touching the part or taking skin ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 6. Cause And Effect On Climate Change Climate change has growing negative effects in the environment and in many societies. Climate change affects everyone from any race, nationality, gender, and religion. However, many of the victims of the fast–changing climate are the people or nations who have least contributed to its fast speed. Climate naturally changes on earth and it's been happening for centuries, however due to human activities, the pace of climate change became faster. This caused problematic effects like pollution and more environmental disasters which resulted to people losing lives. This showed the importance to address the fast–changing climate due to anthropogenic actions. This is the reason why international efforts to slow down climate change were created. International agreements were placed to help preserve the earth and reduce the impacts of climate change. One of these international agreements was Kyoto Protocol which was set in place to address the increasing greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Greenhouse gases are gases that cause the earth to have a faster change on climate. It caused the climate to change faster than what it should have been which caused many environmental issues. However, due to some issues of power and politics, countries who are supposed to support it and could have made a significant impact on its success did not conform to the protocol. Instead they pulled out. The Kyoto Protocol, at that time, is the only international binding treaty to cut carbon ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

SITUATION ANALYSIS– WEAKNESSES In a recent change within Staples Inc. they have begun to shut down 140 of its 330 stores located across North America under scoring the pressure that big box retailers feel from rival e–commerce and discount players. With the end of the plan resulting in 225 stores being closed down as a choice of Staples trying to reduce their square footage. Due to this change within the company Staples Inc. must take in to account what this change will do to their company's infrastructures, price, services, and its reputation. An effect from this down size that Staples Inc. many weaknesses have arose within the company itself that should be taken into consideration before they become a major threat to the company.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The fact that Staples has shut down some of the infrastructures has taken a direct deduction from their income. Staples reported $96 million in net income, a figure that marks a 43.5% decline over the prior–year period and resulted in earnings of 15 cents per share. These results include tax charges as well as expenses related to the closing of 16 stores during the quarter; excluding these one–time charges (McGrath, 2014). Even though technology does play an enormous role in our lives, infrastructures still are important and do appeal to all generations because it is a physical building where we can all find what we are looking for or at least have assistance in doing so. In addition, another weakness would be the pricing of the products. Now that Staples has adapted to selling their products mostly on their online stores, many customers might have the issue of paying not only tax but also shipping and handling as well. Paying tax is already one of the big factors of buying anything, especially in the province in Ontario since we are known to have one of the highest tax rates in Canada. As said by Forbes Magazine Staples decreased 10% part of that reason is from foreign exchange rates. Having shipping and handling as a new factor can cause more decrease in income annually over the years. With competitive pricing being used as an advantage it will still not be enough to drive the company's growth (McGrath, 2014). Even ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Climate Change : Causes And Effects Essay Climate change: Climate change is caused mainly by increase of human activity and industrialisation. For example, activities such as driving cars, farming, burning coal and cutting down forests produce greenhouse gases – mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which are emitted into the atmosphere, which create a layer of greenhouse gases around the earth and trap the sun 's heat. The earth over its 4.5 billion–year history has naturally fluctuated from ice ages to extreme droughts, however in the last 10,000 years or so, the climate became much more stable and sustainable for human beings to live. However, in the past 50–100 years, particularly in the 21st century, with increased human activity like agriculture, transportation, etc, green houses gases have increased majorly and have caused extreme events such as increased floods, storms, cyclones, droughts and landslips. The weather is not only warming up but is also becoming much colder in areas in an extremely fast rate. Climate change is occurring worldwide, as it is effecting the earth directly. However, these are areas on Earth that are already feeling the impact of climate change more than others. For example, Satellite measurements have showed that the waters of Australia 's Great Barrier Reef have warmed by 0.2 degrees Celsius on average over the past 25 years which have led to a decline in the amount of seafloor covered in coral.

  • 9. Population Dynamics and Its Effects on Climate Change Policy Population dynamics and its effects of climate change policy Population growth and its effects on climate change have been hotly debated in recent years by scientists and politicians alike. The Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC has sparked great interest and concern over climate change and how it affects countries differently. The concept of environmental justice has focused onclimate change's unbalanced effects on developing countries, whose populations are more vulnerable to climate change. With rapidly growing populations and inadequate resources and technologies, developing countries have struggled to develop their economy sustainability. The relationship betweenpopulation and climate change is grossly oversimplified by the idea that as population increase so does its effect on climate change. Realistically, population and climate change affect each other through economic trends, development patterns, society, institutions and the government. Population dynamics is not simply the number of people in a given space. Rather, it is the distribution and continuously changing demographics that make population dynamics a complex but important factor in climate change policy. In recent climate change and environmental protection discussions, developed countries have strongly suggested or even imposed environmental policies upon developing countries. This has caused tension and misunderstandings on both sides as developing countries strive for the economic success of their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Based on the facts there has been proven that global warming is actually becoming an Ecology threat. I want to give the reader an insight of how we humans are destroying the planet Earth.

Eventually, this will cause the native people a hard time to hunt them. We are facing temperature that we had never experienced before. Many people don't believe that the ozone layer and atmosphere are decaying. According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the temperature in the U.S. has increased by 2 degrees in the last 50 years and precipitation has increased by 5%. In the near future we will be flooded by water and then we will want to save the planet, but eventually it will be too late. I have acknowledged that not many people are making an effort to be a Good Samaritan. Just looking at local cities, the lack of recycling effort resident shows impacts drastically around the world. Imagine these local cities, plus thousands/millions more around the world, refusing on doing an ecological act of recycling and reusing materials. These acts might not look bad for one person, but if you sum all the people doing it around the world, it adds up to an enormous number. A lot of those people doing all those filthy acts often believe that global warming is fake and that if they don't dispose an item properly, they assume that nothing will happen to the ecosystem. Also, the people around the world don't see the bigger picture that by having a large home/mansion is slowly killing the environment. Why? Because the larger the house the more wood is required to build it, and use more quantity of other products that are not appropriate for the environment. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 12. Climate Change : Strategies Of Denial The highly–impassioned issue of human–made climate change, or the idea that current climate–warming trends can be attributed to modern–day human activities, has become a very debated topic in our current century. In the last few decades, proponents and challengers of the anthropomorphic effects of this problem have volleyed arguments back and forth about whether climate change is a paramountly human–caused phenomenon or a predominantly natural process, with the latter arguing that there are few to no man–made sources like environmental experts seem to constantly urge. Jeffrey Mazo exhibits many reasons as to why individuals may be hasteful in denying the overwhelming impact of human activity on this ever–pressing issue in his article ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Primarily, this concept can be demonstrated by first analyzing the mass disappearance of bee populations worldwide in the course of the last decade or so (although, this has been happening in hundreds of countries for more than a century). Even though we have shed a light on the overarching importance of preserving and saving bee populations, as their role as a pollinator and keystone species in the ecological pyramid has been deemed to be one of the most critical for sustainability, many people are left wondering what their contribution to the bee population die–off could have been. Several individuals might assume that the only way they contributed to the issue was occasionally killing a bee when it swarmed around them, and that most of the bee population decline needs to be addressed at the corporate agricultural level, when that's truly not the case at all. As a matter of fact, there are several ways in which we as common individuals are inevitably instrumental factors in this environmental situation. For instance, in the last couple of years, dozens of insecticides and fungicides "adopted for use on an extensive variety of farm crops as well as ornamental landscape plants" known as neonicotinoids have been singled out as paramount contributors to Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon in which a drastic majority of worker bees ...

Attitude of the world today is continuously changing due to policy and procedures of gay marriages, and gays in the military (News batch, July 2014). The current status of society and how we see homosexuality in today's world is and will always and forever evolving. In addition, the greater social acceptance of homosexuality in the U.S. is catching on and moving from one state to another. There are 18 states and a continuously growing number of countries that now recognize gay marriages. America has come a long way with this victory of recognizing same sex marriages and being open minded enough not to judge those who chose to go the route of same sex marriage and or being a transgender The legislative landmark was preceded by the 2009 addition of sexual orientation to hate crimes legislation.

Their effect of climate change is everywhere. In the past, there has been a report of drought in Somalia that causes the entire nation to go hungry and caused the lives of many of its citizens due to farming caused by the drought. According to Lindley (2014), this crisis generated and was exacerbated by high levels of forced displacement, with around a quarter of population displaced within the Somali territories and abroad in 2011. In recent time, we have seen what Hurricanes Harvey and Maria have done to people Texas and Puerto Rico. Yet there are some who argue thatclimate change does not exist while other say that climate change does exist. Some have a degree and other have disagreed that climate change exists. We will discuss why we most agree that climate change does exist. The issue of climate change has long been a debate as to whether it does exist or does not exist. Some scientists have considered climate change as natural "Man–made" while others say that it does exist. On the other hand, some people say that climate change does not exist and considered it as a hook. However, over the years, the climate change has been occurring from to place to place.

  • 17. The Effects Of Climate Change On The United States Our climate plays an important role in human societies and affects agriculture, ecosystems, our natural environment and our health. Human activities such as pollution and deforestation, has changed the climate as a whole, leading to an increased amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide to enter the atmosphere. The effects of this has led to higher sea levels, loss of sea ice and an increase in heat waves across the globe. A recent report released by the Environmental Protection Agency, titled "Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action" suggest that climate change impacts can be reduced or avoided through greenhouse gas mitigation. It focuses on the physical and economic risks of unmitigated climate change and the benefits the United States would have if they tackled the issue of climate change in a timely manner. Michael C. Veres, an Assistant Professor of Climatology at SUNY Oswego, suggests that before the nation as a whole begin to address the issue of climate it's important for citizens to know the difference between "climate change" and "global warming". "Climate change refers to any change in the climate, regardless of the cause and can refer to warm and cold over the ice ages over the past one million years," Veres explained. "Global warming, on the other hand, specifically focuses on the warming that has happened over the last 150 years on Earth because of greenhouse emissions by humans."

  • 18. The Industrial Revolution And The Invention And Wide... The major contributors to climate change so far had been the Industrial Revolution and the invention and wide–spread use of the gasoline powered automobile. The world had now become industrialized and new technologies were constantly being invented. The next big event to come from this happened soon after 1945. After the end of World War II in 1945 the world's economy started to recover. This sent industrial production into overdrive. The automobile industry quadrupled and major corporations became bigger than ever before (Jeffries). The United States had begun to feel the effects of industrialization in the 18th century, but at the end of World War II the economy was beginning to pick up sending the United States into another period of industrialization. The burning of all this coal and oil put pollution into the atmosphere, partially blocking the sun's rays. This effect caused the years 1940–1970 to get cooler, leading some to speculate that the world was heading toward a new ice age (Jeffries).

The world is affected by the dangers of global warming, and the major contributor to global warming among the greenhouse gases is CO2 emission. (Chiroma) (CO2 Concentration (ppm)) Most previous studies defined global warming hiatus by making a comparison of the surface temperature change rates between recent decades and the last quarter of the twentieth century, just as they defined the accelerated warming by comparing the growth during the mid–1970s and the late 1990s with the rate of several decades before that. (Wei) Bubbles of air in glacial ice trap tiny samples of Earth's atmosphere, giving scientists a history of greenhouse gases that stretches back more than 800,000 years. The chemical makeup of the ice provides clues to the average global temperature. (Riebeek) Over many years, the earth's temperatures have increased and will continue keep increasing.

On a county–by–county basis they found, using their WPI scale, that in the past 40 years the average mean WPI score has increased, meaning over time people are living in more and more preferable weather. Next, they calculated that approximately 80% of people live in counties where the weather has improved.

It has been open for signing since December 1997 and is operational since 2005 and currently more than 160 countries have ratified it. It incorporates a number of legally binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Countries that have signed the protocol agree to cut their emissions to a level slightly bellow the level in 1990 (there are variations in percentage and base year). The idea is to make a distinction between two levels of countries – Annex 1 and non–Annex 1 countries.

  • 38. Dominion Motors: Impact Of Recent Change Dominion Motors Impact of Recent Change: Recently, there have been estimates pointing to an average of 1,000 new wells each year for the next five years, which implies that there should be an increase in demand of oil well pumping motors. This is great news for Dominion considering they had acquired over 50% of the available market since 1973 for these motors. The rates charged by electrical companies were also affected and instead of a flat rate for all motors, there was a monthly base charge per horsepower. A 5 horsepower motor would be the cheapest at $125 per month, a 7.5 horsepower would be $161.25 per month, and most expensive would be a 10 horsepower motor at $200 per month. Companies using larger horsepower motors would ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With the alleged penalties for the unnecessary use of a 10–hp motor to guarantee lifting oil to the surface, it made sense for companies to start using smaller horsepower motors that still had the necessary torque needed to start and use the motor at any cold temperature. Both of these changes implied that there would be an increase in demand for 5 horsepower motors because they are the cheapest to keep over time. Buyer–Seller Relationship: Initially in 1974, the salesperson hired by Dominion (Lee Smith) was not only "aggressive and capable and could talk the oil people's language," but was also the only salesperson in the area with his skill set. This gave Dominion an early competitive advantage in Canada, and allowed Smith to establish beneficial relationships with members at all levels of the oil companies. These relationships are beneficial when maintained over the years, because it keeps customer retention high. However, if a company changes salespeople, and the new salesperson does not work to continue the relationship, the customers can be inclined to pursue other options. Lee Smith had built a relationship with Hamilton over the years, but if he were to leave the company, it can be assumed that his replacement would not keep up the relationship. This would cause someone like John Bridges to disregard the impact on Dominion when publishing a study that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
