SHOCK OF THE ANTHROPOCENE Section A Artificial fertilizers have disturbed the cycle of nitrogen by leading to the release of nitrous oxide, which is known to be the most powerful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The artificial fertilizers have also led to the excess runoff of nitrogen in the water, therefore, leading to the destruction of the ecosystem. Before 1900, ammonia was perfected by the German chemicals and it was termed to be the most important since nitrogen was an important element in explosives and German had been stopped from acquiring supplies from Peru and Chile. Section B: question 2 Agent Orange is a herbicide which us army used to spray after noting the inability of incent bombs and napalms to destroy the forests with humid Vietnamese. It is therefore estimated that about 70 million litres of agent orange where sprayed in the UK between the years of 1961 and 1971 containing 40% of Vietnam’s bare land though the country lost 23% of its forest cover. By the use of agent orange herbicides, us army carried aerial missions to induce…
Selfish Impulse Human beings have different personalities, traits, and beliefs. Besides, human beings have conflicting impulses. Psychologists research to explain various human behaviours. For instance, there have been mixed reactions, regarding the actions that an individual would adopt if they found themselves present in an area where a building catches fire. Whereas some people would rush into the building immediately in efforts to save people trapped therein, other people would stand far with no intention of getting close to the building. This situation is among the many issues that psychologists intend to explore. Further, the situation, as mentioned above, would create a question on whether human beings are intuitively selfish or cooperative. This paper thus will give a detailed explanation of how psychologists view selfish impulse. The View of Psychologists The most prevailing thought and assumption over the years have been human nature is primarily negative. For instance, in the doctrine of original sin, Augustine proclaims that all individuals are born selfish and broken, which can be undone through divine intervention (Ward, 2012). Another example is Hobbes, who…

Coffee rust and fungus that kills coffee beans have damaged coffee crops in El Salvador. Deterioration of El Salvador’s economy has been attributed continuously by the decrease in coffee export; thus, poverty was more in a rural area. Youths who are struggling to find employment are affected by the sluggish economy. Organizations like the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) have come to their rescue and are offering aid to them. IFAD has strategies for improving the agricultural community by investing 41Million US dollars between 2015 to 2021. Another sign of commitment to Salvadorians by IFAD is its strategy being a community-based approach. In other words, the causes of poverty that plague El Salvador are being wiped out by the help of IFAD’s international aid. 2.Crime The world’s most violent country in El Salvador.

governments control the price of tobacco by creating a price floor Question 1: Many governments control the price of tobacco by creating a price floor. If a government decides to create a price floor for a product, the economy will have a deadweight loss. Draw a supply and demand curve and show how the price floor will create deadweight loss. In your diagram show the areas for Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus, and Deadweight Loss. In a free market without government intervention equilibrium is naturally attained through the interplay of demand and supply forces. At equilibrium, the sellers are willing and able to sell the equilibrium quantity at the prevailing price while buyers are also willing to buy at the equilibrium price. When the market meets the equilibrium supply is equal to demand. In rare case, the government interferes with the free market naturally interaction of demand and supply to control the economy. There are several ways in which the government undertakes the control and some of which includes price floor, taxes and price ceiling. The government always apply price floors…
Cultural representation in Films Recently there has been increased attention on racism in films in Hollywood, this can be reflected on who is the actor, and the director of the film and how people have been represented on the screen. Over the years, Hollywood has provided different examples of racist depictions, with the African American and Asians being mostly the targets. Since the birth of Hollywood in the 1900s, it has been characterized by racially stereotyped roles and racism in the form of exclusion. Take, for instance, the movie Breakfast at Tiffany, where Mr Yunioshi, who’s mysterious and a comic character is meant to mock the Japanese. Both the Native Americans and African Americans have often been marginalized in Hollywood. Up to date,some representation of them in films weren’t even made by people who know much about them. Therefore, this creates a bizarre depiction of them in cinema, especially for those who do not know the Native Americans or the African Americans. This also creates confusion among them since they cannot relate to what is depicted about them in the…
