Environmental Degradation and Pollution: Research Paper Introduction Since the industrial revolution of the 19th century, human industrial activities have increased drastically and spread virtually to every part of the world. Through these activities, humans have been able to achieve advancements in every aspect of life, which have improved the quality of life and capacity to survive. However, human activities have also had a negative impact on the long-term wellbeing of humans and other species that inhabit the planet. These activities have contributed to the pollution and degradation of the environment, alteration of earth’s climate,and elimination of natural habitats for animals and plants, which have reduced the planet’s capacity to provide clean water and air, maintain a conducive climate, conserve and regenerate fertile soil, and preserve all forms of biological life. According to recent studies, environmental factors are increasingly becoming of significant influence on human health (). The fact that environmental pollution has become a factor in the health and general wellbeing of humans explains why it has been declared to be an issue of global concern. Urban populations are the…

Life and Debt by Stephanie Black Film Background Life and Debt by Stephanie Black is a documentary that describes the current impacts of IMF on Jamaica’s economy. The International Monetary Fund is an International organization developed in 1945 to purposely help in stabilizing nations’ currencies and help in monitoring the balance of payments, however, currently their creation purposes are acting as a mediator between developed countries and developing and undeveloped nations to help in solving debt issues; primarily the organization works to fight cases of inflation in less developed nations and correcting many supply-side policies such as eliminating minimum wage as a way of boosting employment. The film clearly provides a true narrative of what globalization has done to other nations in terms of economic levels. While to some, the contribution of IMF would be perceived to be helpful to the less developed country it has turned to affect worse. The film which relies on the interviews from Jamaica’s previous Prime Minister and other radical economists Michael Witter, the film’s major star is the country’s farmers and the nation’s working…
HYBRIDIZED NEOLIBELARISM AND ITS EFFECTS IN JAMAICA It is increasingly coming to the attention of experts how different areas of the world are being converted to “irrelevance” structurally due to the integration of the global market combined with soaring industrial capitalism whose productivity is highly uneven. It has brought adverse effects in the regions affected, with the agricultural sector worst hit. The future of the poor farmers in the affected areas is under concern due to the deepening of the integration of the global food economy, with continued huge disparities in production scale, technology, and product subsidization which only favours rich nations. A stark picture denoting the disparities in global production, the social and economic fallout between farmers of these two regions (Amin, 1977) has been created by using Jamaica as a case study. Jamaica is a country that has been previously used as a testing ground for international macro-economic policies in the “Third-world republics”. Identified as a “best scenario” of the outcomes of the policies establishes, Jamaica is the best case study to determine how to trade and liberal…
How Venus is a better planet than mars Both Venus and Mars have captured the human imagination during the twentieth century as the possible planets where life had or might still exist. Venus is the Earth’s closest neighbor, besides being the second planet from the sun. It has a thick atmosphere that captures heat and thus turning into the hottest planet in the solar system. The temperatures at the surface are hot enough to be able to melt lead. Looking below the clouds, volcanoes and deformed mountains are evident. Venus has a radius of 3,760 miles, which is slightly smaller when compared to the planet earth. Venus has some advantages over mars. Today, there is evidence of past microbial life on the planet mars probably from the past, and that remains a key theme in space exploration. However, due to the extreme temperatures and pressures found on the planet, mars ended the hopes of the possibility of life on the planet Venus. This study explores the possibility that planet Venus is still better than planet Mars. Venus has significant advantages…
How to Prevent Antibiotics Resistance Cause and Prevention of Antibiotics Resistance Introduction The current world has become dynamic not only on the business sector but also in the health sector. In the recent, past there are increased cases of new infections that are either viral or bacterial and new drugs have been developed to supress viral infections and antibiotics to cure bacterial related illness. However, despite the increased inventions in the pharmaceutical industry some antibiotics have become ineffective and they no longer cure the expected illness due to resistance (Ventola, 2015).. Antibiotics are antimicrobial substances that act against bacteria and are widely used to treat and prevent bacterial infections. Antibiotics inhibit the growth and multiplication of bacterial in the body or completely kill them thus curing the infection. Antibiotic resistance occurs when germs like fungi and bacteria develops ability to act against drugs that are meant to kill or inhibit their multiplication (Fischbach & Walsh, 2009). According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2020), infection caused by antibiotics resistant germs are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat and they…
Human Rights The humanitarian crisis is not a new phenomenon. Around the world, scores of people are killed, injured, and forced out of their countries by terrifying conflicts and oppression. Currently, the United States is battling with a humanitarian crisis on its Texan border. Forty-seven thousand children originating from the northern Central American States, including Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador are pushing the country’s humanitarian values to extreme levels. The wealth and endless opportunities harbored by the United States remain the motivating factor. Organized criminal gangs perpetrate violence. Coupled with endemic poverty and high unemployment rates, these countries remain undesirable, pushing children out of their native countries. On the contrary, the United States is experiencing strain on its resources, including insufficient space. Consequently, the country finds itself in a dilemma. Should the country allow immigrant children to be united with family members in the US, or should they be deported? Because the children throng the borders for multiple reasons, those who enter the US without sufficient evidence of experience violence, extreme poverty, and abuse should be deported. They can have…

Food Microbiology Food microbiology is the study of microorganisms that create, inhibit and contaminate food. Food microbiology involves negative and positive interactions into microbes and food. Microbiology includes studying microorganisms that cause foods to spoil; as well as, pathogens that cause illnesses, especially if foods are stored and cooked improperly (USDA FSIS,2018). Apart from studying on food spoilage and disease, we also view microbiology in production of foods by the use of beneficial microorganisms. In this review, I will discuss the importance of food microbiology study, Factors that contribute to microbe growth in food, safety measures of food and reasons for choosing this study. Studying food microbiology is important to everyone because one will acquire knowledge on the cause of food spoilage, in manufacturing products of food, the transmission of food illness by foods. The positive benefits of studying the microbiology of food are in industrial fermentation such as in the production of dairy products and alcohol by the use of yeast and antibiotic production such as penicillin (Saxena, 2015). Production of enzymes such as Taq Polymerase and finally contributes…
Social diversity A minority group is that whose members go through a sequence of inequality and disadvantages, which generally extend to ownership of property, employment sectors, education, housing, political power and healthcare. The minority group share visible characteristics such as skin colour, body structure, facial features in which they hold with low esteem, for making them look different from the others. A minority group sees the disadvantages and inequalities they go through in society. The members of a minority group attain their status through an involuntary trait, birth. They primarily practise endogamy, for many states previously had laws against interracial marriages. A dominant group is that whose members have great opportunities, social image and a lot of power. Karl Marx and Max Weber theoretically try to bring out a description of a dominant group. Karl Max, a German Philosopher, made a theory of inequality, history and social change where he blames the economic system about the means of production. There is a strain existing in between the poor and the rich. Karl Marx gives examples of things that chip in…
