By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink. The government were not willing to donate funds to fixing this problem because they did not think it was their job to improve public health, but sometimes they passed laws requiring people to keep the streets clean especially in times when disease was common however these laws were difficult to enforce. Therefore, the Romans’ progress was not maintained. Meanwhile, animal excrement was common in the street and butchers slaughtered their animals and threw the remains on the streets which lead to disease and germs causing people to get sick. All this suggests that during the middle ages there was no progress in public health and that the standard of public health had gone backwards especially in the towns and cities.

In comparison the Nina (Columbus’s biggest ship) was a mere 90 by 30 feet. The size of the Chinese ships at this time was what the Europeans conjured up in the Victorian era over 2 centuries later. Simply in knowing that you could say that the Chinese were equipped well enough to make it across the Pacific. This plus Chinese advanced maritime skills and archeological finds supporting even earlier voyages all the way to Easter Island. Saying that is based on opinion and assumptions, so here’s the proof an amateur historian, found detailed maps, logs and accounts of voyages to the Americas in the early 1400’s.
Colony Collapse Disorder The colony collapse disorder of honeybees has become a very problematic issue. The Natural Resources Defense Council states that nearly that nearly one-third of all honeybee colonies in the country have vanished, putting many fruits and vegetables at risk. A controversial type of pesticide called neonicotinoids has become a prime suspect in this phenomenon, as it affects bees’ sense of direction and making it hard for them to find home. In order to prevent this disaster from continuously occurring, neonicotinoids should be banned or used more sparingly and replaced with an alternative type of pesticide. Author Brandon Keim, author of article “Controversial Pesticide Linked to Bee Collapse” states neonicotinoids began to be used in the mid-1990s as less-toxic alternatives to human-damaging pesticides.
Fracking also created huge natural losses such as it crates pollution, destruction of forests to create its pipe lines. The pipe lines they use are also not long lasting as there is gas vapors in water because of leakage in pipe lines. From every twenty pipe lines, one is leaking that increases pollution. Gas burners used to store natural gas creates noise pollution more than a jet engine. It also have connection to increasing sexual diseases.
This affects the environment because it does not create biodiversity in the “new” forest and it is not a stable environment. An invasion of insects, torrential downfall, or mass hurricane could wipe out all of these trees easily and leave an unsteady ground. In order to prevent tree farms, we need make the trees planted more diverse. Many different kinds of trees must be planted and scattered among the area that has just been devoid of
Statistics state, and I quote; “at this rate the rainforest only has 28 years left “. The ecosystem is being severely affected by deforestation. When trees are cut down and not replaced, there is no longer structure to hold the important and
Then it will flow towards the historical background of the protests against the Japanese in 2005. These examinations will lead to the correlation between the anti-Japanese protests of spring 2005 and the May 4th Movement, along with other major historical rebellions and revolutions. It is clearly apparent that there are strong correlations between the two major events that have taken place in the major cities, as well as the countryside of China. First, the assessment of the May 4th Movement must start by examining its roots within World War I, and the causes that brought about these protests and uprisings of the Chinese youth. With the fall of the Qing Empire in China came the fall of thousands of years of imperial rule within the conquered nation.
The purpose of this essay is to two unethical cases in context of the business environment, and analyse them from the decision-maker’s point of view. My two chosen topic will feature food safety problems, political corruption, reputation damage and abuse of privacy. In the case of food safety, I will analyse the case of the Chinese Milk Scandal, connected to Sanlu Group, back in 2008, which offended and endangered a huge number of people and infants. The second case covers the abuse of private information, which was entrusted to Yahoo! Inc., when they leaked out private account information of their users to the US Intelligence.
