More animal species are becoming endangered or extinct as a result of global warming.” “The carbon emissions, pollution and human health problems that have resulted directly from the Industrial Revolution’s accomplishments have only been disastrous for the world environment. For example the increase of the production in the textile industry, iron and steel and the steam power. As a result, many people died cause of too much smoke spread in the air. Another example according to the reading, air and water pollution came from coal burning, as well as most stages in the production of metals and basic chemicals. Moreover, “The advent of the steam locomotive and railroad also saw the start of major pollution caused by big business, which is all too often seen today.
When a city suffers an industrial decline, there is often a rise in unemployment, and there will also be a lot of derelict and unused land left behind. This has been the case in many northern cities, such as Manchester. This could be compared to how Manchester has 25% of very high household deprivation, and only 5% of very low levels of household deprivation, because Manchester also suffered industrial decline. This therefore shows that cities
What were the Rates of Crime for each Area? Inglewood California has a lower aggravated assault crime rate than Knoxville Tennessee. In Inglewood California, the aggravated assault crime rate per 100,000 people in 2006 is 426.8. Knoxville Tennessee had an aggravated assault crime rate of 684.7 for every 100,000 people (Area Connect, 2014). The aggravated assault crime rate for 2006 is reported because it falls between the years 2000 and 2012 that are used in this report of crime data.
As stated in an article What Accounts for the Decline by IMROHOROG˘ LU etal (2004), "The most noticeable decline over this time has been observed for property crimes, which account for over 90 percent of all crimes [in United States]. "(pp.707) Most of these crimes were committed by youth. However the fraction of youth declined and so did the number of crimes they committed. Another factor that lead to a decline in the crime rate is the law enforcement. IMROHOROG˘ LU etal (2004) point out that "expenditures on police protection have increased from 0.6 percent of GDP in 1980 to 0.7 percent of GDP in 1996."
It's been reported that there have been at least six kidnappings here in El Paso, Texas, people abducted and taken back over the border.” It becomes evident that there is a constant high level of anxiety and worry in the air, perhaps, even, a feeling of loss of control. Because of El Paso’s close correspondence with Juarez, even in times like these, El Paso city officials still find reason to stay connected to the Mexican city. O’Rourke goes on to say, “the immigration problems that we have today and the nature of our relationship with Mexico that we have today is going to change significantly, and it will be for the worse. And so it really is a national security issue…” Dozens of Juarez shooting victims have been treated at Thomas General Hospital in El Paso at a cost to local taxpayers of more than $1 million. The hospital experienced several lockdowns because of fears that hit men would realize a victim was still alive, cross the border, and try and “finish the
In addition, it is believed that as many as half of all burglaries go unreported, which might account for the low clearance average clearance rate of 14 % in the U.S. A significant factor related to the low clearance rate is that about 65 percent of residential burglaries investigated do not produce enough evidence or information about the crime, therefore making it one of the most difficult crimes to solve (Weisel, 2004, p. 1). The official rate of residential burglary, as measured by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR) has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Burglary rates increased in the United
More or less it’s been good and bad. I ask why hasn’t marijuana been legalized across the country only because America has accepted much worse. There are substances sold daily that are far more damaging to the people of United States and its communities. Alcohol and tobacco is a substance that can cause long-term and short-term damage to the body. Alcohol alone can cause “high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive problems” as well as depression, anxiety, and more (Alcohol and Public Health, 2014).
Damage, costing billions of dollars, has made it one of the costliest storms on record. The storm had many social impacts including looting, unsanitary conditions, violence in the streets (functionalist perspective). Also people were separated from their loved ones (interactionist perspective). And the problems with FEMA (conflict perspective). In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, looting, violence and other criminal activity became serious problems.

The recent immigrant-fed population boom has caused overcrowding in cities, which in turn has resulted in increased pollution, power shortages, and a deteriorating quality of education. Moreover, the flood of cheap immigrant labor makes it more difficult for American workers to find jobs, and immigrants' failure to acculturate creates ethnic conflict. Immigration is increasingly seen in terms of threats.
The United States is facing an extraordinary immigration crisis. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants were residing in the United States in January 2005 (Hoefer, Rytina, Cambell 1). This crisis has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored. The impact of illegal immigration affects many areas of society, such as employment, medical costs, the courts and correction system, education, and the welfare system. Illegal immigration threatens the quality of life in the United States.
