Tuberculosis, typhoid and cholera were diseases that developed in many cities killing thousands. Adding to these unbearable conditions, air pollution and malnutrition became a huge and deadly problem. Crime, Alcoholism and prostitution started becoming natural outcomes for individuals that were dealing with these ongoing problems. Also not only the living conditions were unlivable, working conditions were even worse. Depending on the hours throughout the workday, workers shifts could be doubled and workers could be working up to six days a week.

The eco map states that the only extended family they had in Canada was Balbir's brother. This relationship was strong, and was very important to the family.
The Great Depression of 1930 took on many different faces. To many Americans, it proved to be an intense time of uncertainty, which reeked emotional and physical havoc in many lives. The unbearable circumstances these families faced were like none other in our nation’s history. Desperation, fear and, even death, became an ever present trouble in many American lives. Millions of people lost their jobs during these tragic times, and left their homes in pursuit of securing work, but most fell short.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained.

Employers knowingly employ hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants each year on farms, in restaurants, as domestic help, and in labor-intensive jobs. Without these workers some industries could not survive. Undocumented workers fill a need in this country and will work for wages that most Americans will not (“Employment protection policies and the undocumented worker: a balancing of competing interests,” 2005).

If we take a step back in time (roughly 60 years ago) families worked hard, and tended to the home as though it were a job as well. Bringing it back to present day, the average american family has more electronic device running their household than they do family members. We rely far to heavily drive through diners to provide dinner, and the dinning room table has all but become extinct. Our priority have shifted, and our young families and children of today’s society haven’t had the role models and ground rules of life passed down to them like our Mother’s and Father’s. Women care about their appearances and have taken “staying young” to the extreme.
But the sad truth is that many Canadians struggle with poverty every day. We can understand why there is poverty in these third world countries, the lack of technological advances, agriculture and employment. Here in Canada, one of the richest countries in the world; there is a great economy and large market for employment in most provinces. A person that is not mentally or physically ill should not have any issues staying above the poverty line, yet there are thousands of Canadians struggling to find money to feed, dress their children and keep a roof over their heads at the same time. According to the Canadian Council on
The current organ donation system has clearly failed at addressing the reoccurring issue with the lack of organ donations as a result many have died and is currently costing the country Billions of dollars. Statistic from June16, 2004 shows that there were 85,744 waiting list candidates waiting to receive an organ and only 6540 transplant were made which is only a mere ten percent of the waiting list (Richard, Schultz 332). This public turmoil had caused many innovative researcher and economist to come up with solution for the ongoing lack of donations in the United States and the world.
