Should Emotional Support Animals be permitted on College Campuses? The subject of permitting animals to assist students with disabilities in higher learning institutions has been a challenge in recent times. Ideally, for years, higher education institutions have allowed and accommodated the use of service animals to assist physically disabled students. However, the use of animals to help students with emotional disorders in higher education is a more current trend, which has brought new challenges. For instance, litigation cases for institutions with no-pet policies have increased, with students claiming that they require their emotional support animal to enhance their college life through reducing anxiety, depression, stress, and panic attack. As a result, higher education instructions have been in a dilemma concerning their commitment to renounce the existing no-pet policies for fear of facing disability discrimination charges. In these considerations, emotional support animals should be allowed in campus housing. One of the reasons why higher learning institutions should allow emotional support animals in campus housing is that they have proved essential for students with mental disorders. Ideally, this justification has been supported…
Analysis of the World Trade Center (WTC) Fire According to the Qi, Wang, and Zmeureanu (2014), the occurrence of fire on a typical building can have a far-reaching impact not only to the occupants but the entire society. The fire outbreak remains a significant threat to the safety of people both in developing and developed countries. The United States provides the best example of a country experiencing fire incidents and accidents annually (Levy-Carrick et al., 2016). However, the fire calamity at the WTC following a terrorist attack that occurred on September 11, 2001, remains one of the most dreadful fire incidences in the history of the United States. The terrorist attack, in collaboration with fire incidences, accounted for the death of 2783 people (Qi et al., 2014). This paper uses different articles collected from the CSU library to provide a comprehensive analysis of various issues associated with this historic fire. Causes of the WTC Fire According to Levy-Carrick et al. (2016), the cause of the fire that occurred and engulfment and the imminent collapse of the twin towers at the…
How Nature and Nurture Affects Development Human development is influenced by both the genetic make-up of the individual and environmental factors they are exposed to. Even then, biologist and psychologists have failed to agree which factor between these two is the dominant one. The biologists argue that genes are the most influential while psychologists claim that the environmental factors play the most significant role in human development (Sprouts, 2018). According to the biologists, genes act independently in determining how we look and behave. They argue that events in our surrounding do not alter our genetic make-up. However, as Sprouts (2018) notes, they agree that the happenings in one’s environment can help to shape their appearance and conduct, although such changes cannot be passed on to their offspring. On the other hand, psychologists hold that the environment plays the dominant role in influencing human development (Honeycutt, 2018). They assert that the external factors can cause alterations in the genetic codes, which changes are then expressed in the physical attributes of the person affected. Thus, they affirm that the environment ultimately…
Demarcation problem and the nature of science The demarcation problem is the philosophical problem of determining what types of hypotheses should be considered scientific and which ones should be considered non-scientific (Massimo). The rise of the demarcation problem can be dated back to the ancient time when there was a rise of conflict between science and religion, where the primary question on which religious doctrines could be subjected to scientific scrutiny. In order to address the issue, scholars developed a discipline called Philosophy of Science, which was aimed at solving the demarcation problem. However, the demarcation problem has persisted up to today because there has been no right way to answers the concern (Massimo). This essay aims at examining the demarcation problem and the nature of science based on the ideas of John Ziman and Larry Laudan Views of John Ziman on demarcation problem and the nature of science John Ziman aimed at providing the concept of what science is. Ziman argued that science had become the stock of the human mind, and everything was supposed to be viewed from…
Species Reintroduction Issues and National Parks Species reintroduction is a widely used technique in an attempt to establish species populations in which their numbers have been extirpated. These are large-scale and often profoundly controversial issues due to the assemblages that the species will interrupt (Bennett et al. 2012). Parks Canada has used a soft-method approach, meaning the animals introduced to the area comes with high monetary and often more human interaction before reintroduction (Devineau et al. 2012). While there are many cases of reintroduction tactics, the follow-up literature is minimal. This results in a lack of understanding as to what are both successes and failures of reintroductions. In 1997 a relocation program was developed in Colorado to reintroduce the Canadian Lynx back to the southwest quadrant of Colorado ( Devineau et al. 2012). This reintroduction differs from that of the bison, as the animals were wild-caught and relocated. In this particular case study, a lot of consideration was put on the existence of the animals. Therefore it proved it hard for it to work out as all the key factors…
Pastoralist livelihood Generally, pastoralism is defined as a form of subsistence farming involving the keeping of domestic animals. It is a form of nomadic livelihood, primarily practised in the arid and semi-arid rangelands in the tropics. With the advances in agricultural systems, social stigma inflicted amongst nomadic people and climate change, the number of pastoralists is significantly declining. However, the economic contribution of pastoralism is recognized not only because of its contribution to livestock supply to both domestic and international markets; however, as a nutritional source to the nomadic communities. There are various types of pastoralists, depending on the animals they keep. For example, the Zulu and Maasai from Africa keep cattle, Bedouin Arabs from the Middle East keep sheep and goats, those from Central Asia keep horses and Yaks, and reindeer by the pastoralists of Norway. With the increased complications in their form of lifestyle due to the various mentioned both social and environmental changes, this paper aims to explore the effects these changes cause on their lifestyle. Despite explaining the extent to which people’s lifestyle has become unstable…
European Interaction and Its Effect on American Indians In 1500, over five hundred societies dominated Indian North America, where the ancestors had inhabited the region for approximately 25,000 years. Initially, the dominant community indulged in hunting and gathering and shifted cultivation to sustain themselves. In the contemporary era, there is much debate concerning the size of the population at the time despite inadequate measures to quantify the same. The region was stipulated to have around 18 million people, although they were societies that seldom had over 30 000 individuals (“An Introduction to Native North America — Pearson eText – Mark Q. Sutton – Google Books,” n.d.). However, during the European invasion era, alien diseases started to affect the community, and it spread rapidly, leading to a lot of mortality. The rising European did not only raise a lot with the devastating calamity, but also the total population of the region reduced significantly in the 1700s. It is pertinent to note that natural immunity takes time to be inhabited in the human body, thus making the diseases deadly (Jones et al.,…

Human Resources Management perspective Question 1: What’s the overall problem from a Human Resources Management perspective? Human Resource Management is an integral part of the running of an organization. The section usually is concerned with the management of individuals to particular jobs.
