With Pakistan having such a low GDP it ‘s we see a large percentage of their population working in agriculture making crops etc. very important to their lives. Cumbria still lies at a big disadvantage and risk to flooding due to its urbanization, which Pakistan has little of. Due to Cumbria’s large economic advantages many factors are added which can increase flooding such as the large areas of impermeable pavements causing reduced lag time. Other factors can include Gutters and Drains quickly taking water to the rivers.
The dustbowl covered whole farmlands with sand, which absolutely shattered many peoples livelihood forcing them to move or turn to crime. Just like George and Lennie’s new boss, they employed quite rough, sometimes dangerous people to work on their land for a cheap wage. The aftermath of the dustbowl is clearly described in the book by Steinbeck, in which he describes the men’s surroundings as sandy and crisp. Considering when this book was written and when it is set, the issue of racism isn’t much of a big deal to those who distribute it to others making it ‘socially acceptable’ at the time. The fact that the black male in the book is referred to as ‘the nigger’ by even the most liked characters in the story clearly shows that even the nicest people even saw the issue as not
It is “…so easy to disappear, so easy to deny knowledge, so very easy in the smoke and din to mask that something dark had taken root” (Larson 12). The Chicago fair is captivating for many people. “Something dark had taken root” represents the danger of the fair. Despite these apparent dangers people keeping coming back for me because of the adventure that comes with it. Once a person enters the darkness, which represents the Chicago fair, it is hard to get out of this darkness because it is so easy for a person to immerse himself into it.
These identify problems for walkers with heels, disabled sticks and even dogs’ paws, possibly getting caught within the gaps of the grate. It could be argued that this would allow for the surface water to run away. It could be further argued that this may allow for the drains to get blocked with rubbish or debris from the trees, this creates losers for the local council having to send an engineer to unblock the drain, thus draining the parish funds, not to mention the pedestrians walking through the muddy waters along the High Street. The paved areas in City Road has bollards dotted along which create a safer passage for pedestrians creating winners here but highlighting the lack of safety for the High Street. The contrast between these two streets is evident where City Road is a main road with a high volume of traffic compared to the High Street which has the bypass to reduce noise, pollution and
The clash of cultures is a dominant theme and is explored in various ways. One way is through the contrast of setting. For example, the panning shot of the countryside, depicting Amish farmhouses and barns coupled with the free flowing music, depicts a peaceful agrarian community. This contrasts with the busy American city, with shops, modern style buildings and cars suggesting a highly industrialised society. The open skies of the Amish countryside further emphasises the community’s freedom and sense of tranquillity.
When I go to the beach I see how dirty the water is there. I hesitate to swim in it. Lake Erie is a beautiful lake when it is not so dirty, and we should try and preserve it. If we don’t it will be become so polluted that it will be considered dead, this happened in the 1960s due to all the factories dumping waste in to the Lake. It was literally a dumping ground and it even caught on fire a few times due to the toxic wastes.
This would not be a good time to cut the grass due to the fact that it is still damp from yesterday’s heavy rain. Mowing would be a very difficult task. I can hear a constant shoveling sound coming from the alley, along with two men laughing, and a dog barking faintly in a yard further down the street. The
The automobile allowed people to get from point A to point B in half the time. They also were easier to operate than a horse, requiring less attention and maintenance and were available at an affordable cost. Automobiles however did negatively affect the country. They caused family time to begin to dwindle except for the occasional “Sunday” drive. Another negative thing they affected was the pollution of the environment.
The type of government spending that the people of this county depend on does not create jobs, instead it allows more people of this county to become dependent on this source of living. The government spending in this county is going to food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, and other government funded programs to help low income individuals and/or families. Government spending is not going toward the making of more job opportunities for the residents of this county, instead it is going toward making the residents more dependent on government funded programs. Why should one go looking for a job when they can sit at home and draw a check? Why should one go looking for a job when they can have another kid and that will increase the amount of money they receive on their food
It is common to consider pollution to streams as being transported from industries and cities which release waste water into water courses such as lakes, rivers and streams through designated and established point sources. A bigger problem, however, actually comes from other unidentified sources where possibility of these contaminants being absorbed into the soil or transformed through natural processes before reaching the waterways is hindered by large impervious areas around the water body and short peak runoff times.
