The UK government in recent years has had to resort to financial cutbacks due to the recession, especially funds for the public services. This had has a large impact on the public services, majority of them being negative. An example could be there have been many Fire station closures within the UK. The fire service in recent years has vastly improved, this can be show by the number of fires is annually decreasing. This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money.
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. Polluted rivers and smoke-filled air began to dominate cities, which in turn created poor living and working conditions that gave rise to socialism. The most direct pollution problem created by the locomotive was the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. It gave way to poor air quality and poor living conditions. Additionally, the steam locomotive supported businesses and industries where pollution was an accepted and normal thing.
Businesses also suffer when massive layoffs occur. When spending by households decreases, incomes decrease for the businesses. Governments are not immune from the effects of massive layoffs of employees either. When households spend less, and businesses are selling less, there is less sales tax to be collected by the government. Also, when employees are laid off there is less income tax to be collected and to make things even worse, former employees can collect unemployment benefits from the government.
Like many cities Perth experiences photochemical smog, this can be seen in the diagram below where cars, coal power plants and factories release emissions such as Nitrogen Oxide compounds that react with least one volatile organic compound (released from gasoline, paints or cleaning solvents) and UV rays to produce ozone or photochemical smog. This occurs more aggressively during peak hour where a lot of cars head to the city travelling to work. The busiest hour is from 6am to 7am when 3721 cars head for the city. The increased amount of cars on the road results in congestion which further increases the production of photochemical smog as the cars aren’t moving very far whilst simultaneously releasing emissions. Perth’s climate also assists the issue of photochemical smog as plenty of sunlight with moderate winds and high temperatures arise.
Company Q references the high crime-rate areas of the two neighborhoods in which it served as the reason for closing those two stores. However, if you look further into the situation, it appears that Company Q mainly has only itself to blame for those store closings. Company Q cites that the two stores were losing money but gave no indication as to why they were losing money. Were they losing money because it took years to fulfill requests by customers for more health-conscience and organics products? Had those customers already found an alternative store that did provide the requested goods and in turn moved their business?
However in the long-run, this price raise is not enough to make people quit smoking so since cigarettes are a demerit good, it will have a negative effect on the environment and it will increase the number of health issues from second hand smoke, not to mention the high unemployment rate and less taxes for the government.

The lack of school material, clothes, or even living in terrible conditions can lead to the not reaching their full potential due to the lack of motivation. The government in 2012 released 3.5 billion dollars to The Native American Reservations, which for 350,000 people is equivalent to 1000 dollars (Volz, “$3.4B Indian Lawsuit Ends, Disbursements to Begin”). However, how far might this money go in a struggling household? The insufficient environment that Native Americans live in is nothing like we might find in any cities in the Northwest. The lack of motivation caused by years of not having a job and watching your family suffer in poverty is a condition that not too many of us are familiar with.

We have neither the man power nor capacity to detain and transport all illegal aliens in one decisive move. Though simple in concept, this would be a huge undertaking and one that does not sit well with many in our culture from a moral standpoint. The argument is made that compared to the United States standard of livings many illegal immigrants who are here live in poverty, but when you compare the standard of living here to that in Mexico it is even worse! We know that 53% of Mexico’s poor are is living on less than 2 dollars a day. Even worse 24% of the nation’s poor in Mexico lives in extreme poverty, on less than 1 dollar per day.
