Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
(My calculator doesn’t go that far, ha.) Cost of Hard Drive Space per GB: In 1980, the price per GB was roughly $100,000. Today, it would not even cost a dollar. Based on the chart above, the space per unit cost has roughly double every 14 months. ”Several terabyte+ drives have recently broken the $0.10/gigabyte barrier, making the next milestone $0.01/gigabyte, or $10/terabyte.” (Komorowski, 2009) With Moore’s law in effect, I believe we will see a 100 TB hard drive within the next twenty years.
Chemalite, Inc.’s machinery used to produce chemalites in general-purpose machinery that might reasonably be expected to last for 10 years (Wilson, 2008). The $212,500 spent on the machines is a long-term asset. The stakeholders need to know that although the machines were purchased with cash, through depreciation, Chemalite, Inc. only has to account for $10,625 in this statement of financial position. Another good sign that operations should continue is that they do not have any liabilities. That being said, not all liabilities are bad, but the fact that they do not have
2. Capital punishment are imposed in criminal justice system that treats you better if you are rich and famous than if you are poor and innocent. 3. It is against the God and the ten commandments to put someone to death penalty 4. To kill people who have killed someone close to simply to continue the cycle of violence, it destroys the avenger as well as the defender.
Saliva tests are a little more expensive than urine testing and considered a relatively intrusive method of drug testing, therefore becoming more commonly used by employers. Saliva tests have no nationally accepted standards of cut-off concentrations for detection which could make the results less reliable and/or acceptable for legal cases. Hair tests are even more expensive but are still considered a relatively intrusive method of drug testing and can detect substance use over a longer period of time, but usually cannot detect use within the past week. Hair tests require a small amount of hair clippings. Hair test are considered more accurate than the urine tests.
A Modern Modest Proposal In our world today, we have an ongoing problem with pollution. In the past decades, the pollution caused by our human race has continued to show an impact on our Earth. Every day our beloved planet is getting hurt more and more and this is making it harder for life to be sustained here. Soon, planet Earth could cease to exist and human life as well as all living species could become extinct. I propose that we eat all of the pollution waste, causing all of the waste to disappear from the Earth (logical appeal).
Genocide Genocide is the extermination of an existing group. It is the destruction of humanity. Genocide is annihilation, genocide is murder, and genocide is pandemonium. What I didn’t know about genocide is that it is still going on. I knew the world wasn’t perfect, but I didn’t know it was so savage.
Texts construct race as a natural category. Many representations generally describe the interests of dominant groups by defining other races as abnormal. Somewhere right now, there is someone being discriminated for the colour of their skin. Today’s society; you may say all you want about it being better than what is was like in the 1900’s to now but how much better is it really? Yes we have found many cures for severe illnesses and are now aware of Global Warming, which we are doing our best to prevent with renewable energy, but has anyone ever thought of the way people act throughout society?
Social inequality is a major flaw in the world today, and it can surely be blamed on the technological progress that is considered to be a breakthrough in global economies. Another example that clearly showcases the downsides of change can be seen in WWII, which started on September 1939. World War II is often credited as the deadliest conflict among humans as it has been suggested that eighty million people suffered fatal conditions. This war mainly relied on many industrial revelations that simplified the ways to raise an army. New industrial techniques, weapons, and successful economy were changes that were key factors in the world's most violent strife.
The production of these toxic-filled substances continues to lead the human race on a path of natural destruction; with thousands of animal sea-life dying annually from plastic consumption. It's time we wake up to the fact that our oceans are in need of critical help. How did the plastic get into our oceans to begin with? The oceans are enormous but they are not infinite. Today, as in the past, oceans are being treated as giant disposal areas for all types of refuse (plastics, tins, bottles etc.)
