Beginning in 1845 and lasting for six years, the potato famine killed over a million men, women and children in Ireland and caused another million to flee the country. Ireland in the mid-1800s was an agricultural nation, populated by eight million persons who were among the poorest people in the western world. Only about quarter
(Almost 80% of all antibiotics sold in the United States are used in animal agriculture.) C. Diseases 1. Spreading of bacteria, viruses and fungi “Far from their natural habitat, the cattle in feedlots become more prone to all sorts of illnesses. And what they are being fed often contributes to the spread of disease. The rise in grain prices has encouraged the feeding of less expensive materials to cattle, especially substances with a high protein content that accelerate growth” D. Transportation Billions of farm animals endure the rigors of transport each year in the United States, with millions of pigs, cows, and “spent” egg-laying hens traveling across the country.
Every month, 770,000 people in Canada use food banks, with forty percent of those people being children. Living in poverty impacts children in many ways, from lower levels of education, to health problems, developmental delays, behaviour disorders, and even effecting the way they live as adults.

After the newly laid railways began operating in Nebraska the daily freighting of thousands of cattle to Omaha’s stockyards had transformed that frontier town into a city within five decades. When Father Flanagan arrived in Omaha eight succeeding annual droughts in Mid West America had robbed many thousands of cattle men, cow boys, and stockyard workers of their employment. As Father Flanagan spent most of his time aiding the destitute in a city where hundreds of homeless young men were dying each winter from exposure and hunger he was instructed by the Bishop of Omaha to pay more attention to his parish duties than to waste time on worthless people. On the day that he opened a large and empty hotel that he rented to shelter homeless men Father Flanagan apologized to them that they had but dry straw to bed them down
He did believe that the government should have the reins and be in control, but he always wanted the people of America with him every step of the way and to know what was going on. He never wanted them to not know what was going on and to never have to question what they were doing. In Document G, FDR says “The voice of great events is proclaiming to us. Reform if you would preserve.” Like stated earlier with Hoover, Conservatives are highly against change in government and want little to none to happen. Honestly though, sometimes it is the only way that you can improve.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) (ON SCREEN) Avalanche Dogs STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Every year, more than 150 people worldwide are killed in avalanches. The most common causes of death are suffocation, trauma, and, to a lesser degree, hypothermia. Since the human body is three times denser than avalanche debris, we sink more quickly and once the avalanche stops, it gets so packed, it`s like hardened concrete. That`s why rescue dogs are so important. It would take rescue workers four hours to search a little over two acres.
The democratic party made a new healthcare plan that makes health care affordable for all and if you can’t afford it then the government can most likely help you get it and this ties in well with the liberals view of the government helping the people stay protected but it also clashes with the conservatives point of view. The conservatives believe that health care should be bought independently and not helped by the funding of the government because they believe that the people need to be able to keep themselves afloat without the governments help with our daily
During the Middle Ages, and even during the Renaissance democracy did not exist. The Catholic Church had absolute power over the Government as well as society in general because of the fact that so many people had not much to look forward to but going to heaven. This gave the Church the most power to rule over it’s citizens because people were afraid that if they were to disobey the Church they would be excommunicated from the Church and ultimately would not be able to go to heaven. However, during part of the Renaissance, the values of people began to change. The views of people became more secular, and the focus of education was pretty much to make a well-rounded ideal citizen, which means instead of religion being the main focus, humanism began to be shown.

Part of the reason begins with the fact that there is a nationwide shortage of doctors in rural areas. “A 2009 policy brief from the federal Office of Rural Health Policy highlighted that 77% of rural counties are facing a shortage of primary-care providers, and 8% don't even have a single primary-care physician.” [ (Kutscher, 2013) ]. Hospitals such as EMMC have to act on this crisis and according to Kutscher’s article; there are many strategies for recruiting. “With the need so dire, new physicians are being recruited as early as their second year of residency, often receiving dozens of glossy brochures advertising a town's nature trails, festivals and short flights to major metropolitan areas” [ (2013) ]. Marketing the hospital is big business and a necessary task to bring any providers to a depressed area.
