Brittney Little Mr. Rogan English 111 7 November 2013 Honduras: The Murder Capital of the World In Honduras over 60% of the population live in poverty. It is one of the poorest countries in the American continent (“This is Honduras”). This economic stagnation has had far-reaching effects on the Honduran population, from poor education, healthcare, and joblessness to increased theft, and more severe criminal acts such as illegal drug trade, sexual assault, human trafficking, and murder. The impacts of foreign mission activity are noticeable and much needed, but they alone are not enough to change the direction of the Honduran economic and social situation. Sporadic foreign aid also does little to help Honduras on the scale necessary to
At the time, farmers had given little thought to crop rotation or other methods to preserve fertile topsoil. Overcultivation had also contributed to the upcoming problem. Once the rain stopped, the exposed, poor-quality soil eventually dried out. Due to years of droughts and poor soil-conservation practices, loose sediment are easily picked up from barren dry soil. Topsoil were blown off fields and carried in storm clouds for hundreds of miles.

The Dust Bowl According to West (2011), the word Dust Bowl is generally understood as an area whose vegetation is lost and soil is eroded. He noted that Dust Bowl is majorly caused by drought or unsuitable farming practice. Hook (2009) on the other hand noted that the word matters much to the Americans than to any other group of the world. He noted that the Americans understand the concept Dust Bowl to mean the parts of the United States (i.e. Oklahoma, Kansas, the Northern Texas, and the New Mexico) which experienced severe soil erosion caused by the effect of windstorms in the 1930s.
In 2007-2008, it was reported that 10.81% of residents 18 years and older in the Cloncurry Shire were suffering from high or very high psychological distress (ABS, 2011). Research shows that people living in rural and remote communities across Australia have particular high risk factors of mental health compared to their metropolitan counterparts (Rajkumar & Hoolahan, 2008). This is believed to be associated with isolation and environmental hazards such as drought, floods and fires (Rajkumar & Hoolahan, 2008). With the community experiencing monsoon weather patterns and droughts each year, the impact the weather has on the community results in financial stress on families which has been linked to anxiety, depression, family breakdown and other mental health issues (Rajkumar & Hoolahan, 2008). With recent economic uncertainty in remote Queensland communities due to both government and corporate service closures and restructuring of the farming industry, the Cloncurry Shire has had an 8% population decline over the past decade (Queensland Government, 2011c).
While reviewing my food intake on September 21st, I ate 78 grams of total fat, 24 grams of saturated fat, and 0.5 grams of trans fat. Everything I ate that day was high in fats. Such as; mozzarella sticks, pizza, and chicken wings which are all three high in total fat and saturated fats. With the increasing demands of work, school and other outside activities it can often be difficult to fit clean and healthy meals into our diets. Unfortunately, thanks to the nutritional content of fast and processed foods, this generally means higher amounts of saturated fat.
America Is Hungry Martin Luther King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. Hunger, though it may not be widely known, is an ongoing issue in the United States. It is known everywhere that obesity is a huge problem in America, but the opposite is also true. Many people living in the United States, especially in the South, live in food conscious homes. No one should be in hunger in the United States.
Economic growth has been limited because of the droughts. The droughts usually send the economy into a severe recession. The most important food crops are millet and sorghum. Cotton, rice, sugar, and market garden produce are also grown. The farms are primarily small; two-thirds of the country’s farms are less than ten acres.
Outline for the Food Review Movie being reviewed: Food Inc. Facts in the movie: * The animals that are stored in factories are stored in their own manure creating a very high chance of the animals getting ecoli and when one animal gets it is is nearly impossible from it spreading. * The reason why so many people are buying the cheaper and processed junk is because the way the economy is, healthy food is just to much money when you can buy a meal for a family of four under ten dollars. * Today, chickens are being raised in 49 days which is half the time they were raised in the 1950’s. Although this May sound like the chickens would be skinnier it is quiet the opposite. Now chickens are given so much processed chemicals that by
