Environmental studies and Forestry From online sources, provide contemporary examples of environmental activism. Has the initiative or activity of the group or individual been effective? Why or why not? Environmental activism involves groups or individuals coming together to work together in the field of social scientific collaboratively, political or conservation with their primary purpose being to address the concerns of the environment. The collaboration forms a green movement, green living as well as environmental sustainability and has got a common agenda, which is to protect and preserve the environment. These groups and individuals share ideas and ideologies coming up with ways of solving problems that are encountered in the case of the environment. This, therefore, means that environmental activism has different parts that rely on the primary definition considering that it is segmentary, polycentric, and also networked. For segmentary environment activism, it is the one that has got diverse groups with common interest coming together. Polycentric, on the other hand, means that people and groups have got multiple and, most of the time, temporary centers of influence. Environmental activism is…
Clarksville food bank Clarksville food bank was founded 30 years ago. The distribution center serves approximately 9% of the total population of the residents. This amounts to 37,000 individuals every year. The center offers other social services like helping the residents during emergencies and also sustaining themselves. Individuals benefiting from this program receive fresh farm produce, frozen foods, bread, and non-perishable goods for sustainability. Distribution of these goods to the community takes place from Monday to Saturday from morning hours up to noon. Visitation is always limited to a maximum of once a month. The contributing partners of these goods vary from individual donors, restaurants, local businesses to grocery stores. According to the current status of the community program, it is facing several challenges. Some of them include inadequate staff, insufficient trainees who work voluntarily, rodents and pests’ inhabitants, low supply of fresh produce from the suppliers, and repairing old structures and equipment. To counter some of the problems, the organization decided to initiate an enterprise called a clean food initiative. It aims to supply vegetables and fresh fruits to…
IMPACT OF FREE TRADE TO DOMESTIC ECONOMY Introduction Free trade occurs when countries remove international barriers on all or certain items and allow the free exchange of products. Free trade is, therefore, a consequence of international trade. A country can access goods and services that it cannot assemble or produce locally through international trade. (Gould, Woodbridge & Ruffin, 2015). Some of these goods and services require constant importation, hence the need for free trade, which makes them affordable to the local industries. “A country can get goods and services efficiently by specializing in activities which the country has a comparative advantage through free trade.”( Gould et al., 2015). Comparative advantage occurs when a person or a country produces something at a lower cost than anyone else providing the same thing. Trade-offs come about when a country increases the cost of a product or service, which is consequently counteracted by reducing the cost of another product or service. A trade-off is essentially a compromise. (Amstel, 2016). In relation to free trade, the U.S. lifts import tariffs for products from another country.…
Global Economy Class Trade restrictions, also known as trade barriers, are policies made by governments to restrict or lower volumes of international trade. Some of the adverse effects of this are reduced import levels, increased prices for consumers, and significant economic losses. The most common reasons often offered in favor of trade restrictions are to cushion upcoming local industries, called infant industries, protection from dumping, and improve deficits in trade. Many countries impose trade barriers to help new domestic industries develop and become competitive and to discourage businesses from moving out. These barriers increase the costs of operations, increasing the overall price of the products or services, and consumers have no choice but to go for cheaper domestic alternatives of different quality. Trade barriers increase the costs of imports, lowering their demand, which makes up for any trade deficits. Also, trade restrictions prevent other countries from “dumping” cheaper product substitutes that reduce consumption of locally made goods, which harms the domestic industries. If all foreign trade were eliminated from the US, living standards will decrease. Ceasing all trade with other…
GLOBAL ECONOMY Introduction The world bank report in regards to the East Asian miracle stipulated public policies adopted by the high performing Asian economies (HPAEs) between 1965 and 1990. The success of the HPAEs during that period was characterized by the development of policies which guaranteed fast economic growth through equitable distribution of resources. Thus, the success stirs questions on whether developing countries would adopt the policies adopted by the HPAEs to achieve rapid economic growth in the long-term. The East Asian miracle comprises countries such as Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Singapore, and Japan. The governments in the respective nations undertook the responsibility to spur economic development in their countries.

Growth and equity in East Asia East Asia recorded a remarkable and sustainable economic growth between 1965 and 1990 relative to a miraculous growth in 8 economies such…

Response to WWII Three critical events shaped the world, leading to the second world war in Europe. These events and situations included the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of fascism, militarism, and imperialism, and Hitler and the growth of the Nazi Party in Germany. On its part, the United States had adopted an isolationist policy where it never wanted to intervene or get involved in military disputes in Europe or any other part of the world. The U.S. Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the second part of the 1930s that prohibited the federal government from a host of acts and interventions to aid any foreign power and nation involved in military actions (Corbett et al., 2014). For instance, the Neutrality Act of 1935 outlawed the sale of military products to warring nations, and in 1936, another act banned the loaning of money to such countries. These neutrality acts meant that the U. S’s role in the conflicts was minimal or neutral without any preferred ally. In the backdrop of an increasingly neutral and isolationist policy, Europe and…
