...World hunger World hunger is the worst problem in the world today. My goal today, is to bring to yourknowledge the facts surrounding world hunger and what you can do to help. Let’s start bydefining world Hunger. Hunger is a term which has three meanings according Oxford EnglishDictionary (1971) “1.the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite.Also the exhausted condition caused by want of food 2.the want or scarcity of food in a country3.a strong desire or craving.” World hunger is defined by the 2nd definition on a world scale. Ithink that world hunger is an unfair problem in the world and needs to be solved. Just becausepeople have fewer opportunities than me does not mean they can suffer hunger. In this paper Iwill list statistics, other information surrounding world hunger and ways you can help so thebiggest problem in the world can be solved. In 2010 United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) estimated the numberof people hungry in the world. The numbers were:578 million in Asia and the Pacific, 39 millionin Sub-Saharan Africa, 53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, 37 million in the NearEast and North Africa and 19 million in developed countries. That is a total of 925 millionpeople in the world. World Food Programme put it in a different statistic that puts a light on justhow big the problem is. They said that 1 in 7 people in the world are hungry. That is why I careabout world hunger. 1 in 7 is hungry because they have fewer...

...these programs produces valuable information about aspects of the Nation’s crime problem. Because the UCR and NCVS programs are conducted for different purposes, use different methods, and focus on somewhat different aspects of crime, the information they produce together provides a more comprehensive panorama of the Nation’s crime problem than either could produce alone. What are crime rates, arrest rates, clearance rates, and recidivism rates? Recidivism is measured by criminal acts that resulted in the rearrested, reconviction, or return to prison with or without a new sentence during a three-year period following the prisoner's release. Crime Rates several methods for measuring crime exist, including household surveys, hospital or insurance records, and compilations by police and similar law enforcement agencies. Typically official crime statistics are the latter, but some offences are likely to go unreported to the police. Public surveys are sometimes conducted to estimate the amount of crime not reported to police. Such surveys are usually more reliable for assessing trends. Public surveys rarely encompass all crime, rarely procure statistics useful for local crime prevention, often ignore offences against children, and do not count offenders brought before the criminal justice system. Clearance rate is the ratio of reported cases to cleared cases. Cleared means one of several things, solved is the main one. There are several official terms used in clearing cases, cleared...

...“The most pressing global problems simply won’t be solved without the participation of women.” Verveer opens up the article with this quote as her main claim. Throughout the article she focuses on the need for women to be involved with political issues. Verveer uses many examples and sources to back her claim that promoting the status of women is needed to accomplish global peace and security. The author includes how Barack Obama’s administration has tried to involve women in foreign affairs. She also states that Hilary Clinton’s goal is to advance the status of women all around the world to be unified in all aspects of U.S. foreign policy. Verveer claims the World Economic Forum found an improved economic competitiveness in countries where women and men relish equal rights than those where women have restricted access to education, medical care, or politics. The author claims that the United States past diplomacy and development efforts were directed in a method that was gender neutral centered. She also states that women could be a recovery tool in the climb out of recession. Veerveer explains that women still lack access to capital, credit, and training. Throughout this article she uses claims to addresses the lack of equality, respect, and justice that women endure. In “Why Women Are a Foreign Policy Issue,” Melanne Verveer uses ethical, emotional, and logical appeal to support her claim that the most pressing global problems will not be solved without women’s participation...

...Measuring Crime Paper Grant Curry CJA/ 204 Introduction to Criminal Justice October 5, 2015 Christopher Cannon Measuring Crime Crime is an act or omission prohibited and punished by law. Crime in the United States has increased since many years ago. Many years ago crime went unsolved or even lost in the system. Today crime can be investigated better in the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniformed Crime Report (UCR) and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) agency are formed together to help investigate crime and to collect data from crime scenes. For many years, these agencies did not have the technology that we have today that also helps with better investigation. Instruments The NCVS agency is the primary source of information on the characteristics of criminal victimization on the types of crimes reported. Crime is measured in the United States by the FBI Uniformed Crime Report. This agency collects the data from the many different types of crime. These reports are then made and followed up with the FBI. The FBI reviews the crime reports carefully to make sure that the report is being reported correctly, accurately, and no errors are indicated on the reports. Then the NCVS agency collects the data and the information pertaining the crime and information from the victim. The information that NCVS collects is very important information that is needed to help solve the crime. The data that is collected is the time and place...

...Christian Worldview/Statistics Integration Paper Kevin Lee BUS-352 November 14, 2014 Statistics helps decision makers by transforming collected information into numbers. It allows decision makers to understand the risks associated with decisions that has or been made. Statistic collects, summarizes, presents, and analyzes data. Then it uses its data to help reach conclusions. It is crucial for statisticians to collect data carefully and fairly for importance of finding great value. To have a correct statistic data, it is necessary to have high-top work ethics. Statisticians must take a full responsibility of fairly collecting a data with interest of collecting a valuable data to make the best decisions. Statisticians should not favor any particular data. Statistics must apply Christian worldview principles of trust and honesty. It is an important standard to have for collecting statistic data. The numbers in collected data must be truthful. Utilitarianism ethical theory is most applicable for me. It’s about sacrificing few to save many. The Trolley Problem could be a supportive theory for the utilitarianism. The problem tells about a speeding train with full of passengers sees that there are few workers standing in on the rail road up ahead. To save those few, should the train hit the hard break which will kill all the passengers; or should they run over the few to save many in the train? Utilitarianism theory would support an idea of sacrificing those few to save many...

...to the data from National Bureau of Statistics of China, Total Retail Sales of Consumer Goods in January and February have experienced a generally increase, going up by 11.8%. Compared with the increasing pace in 2013, it was slowed down in the first two month in 2014. This may means the motivations for consuming in 2014 would be weaker. At the same time, the consumptions in restaurant also decreased by 0.5%, which may be a detrimental signal for restaurant industry. While it is possible that this phenomenon is triggered by the pledge of consumptions in luxury restaurant instead of fast-food industry. If this hypothesis is correct, the food consumption in fast-food restaurants may go up as the industry is actually an alternative to be a substitute for this high monetary required cuisines. Population demographics China, generally speaking, is the country owning the largest population which represents 19.30% of global population at 1,384,694,199. Also, China is one of the country with high population density at 139.6 people per square kilometer and almost 70% of people will live in urban area by 2035. The large population base guarantees adequate passengers for the restaurant and centralization in population in urban area makes it easy to do promotion activities. However, what is needed to pay attention to is that aging problem, according to the prediction from World Population Review, will bring obvious impact after 2026. The aging problem may lead to the lack of labor force...

In some parts of India, especially in the southeast of India, Indians lack access to clean drinking water, and the situation is only getting worse. In addition to this, unclear management will cause a slew of subsequent problems, such as food shortage, intrastate, and International conflicts.（IMMINENT WATER CRISIS IN INDIA, August 2007） According to the research, over 50% of villages still have no source of protected drinking water and maybe by 2020, India will become a water-stressed nation. The main reason why water problem in India is so serious is population and lack of water supply. (Water problem in India, 2001) In my opinion, building a policy for decentralizing the task of pollution control is a useful way to solve it, because the government can spend least money to control the pollution. Besides, building a water harvest center is an important way to solve lack of water supply. (Indian Bharat, 2010) If the government adapts as I mentioned before, this water problem will solved easily. 2.0 Methodology During my research, I used Bing search engine, which helps me find all sources online. First, I typed the main point: water problem in India, and typed the questions I made in...

They suggest that if we could “fix” family values in minority communities and get them to form married-couple households, all their problems would be solved” (51). This problem would easily be solved if policymakers recognized family support as more than just economic disadvantages outside of marriage.

...negative effects of these games and fail to see the opportunity for learning and growth. According to Raise Smart Kids: “The Good and Bad Effects of Video Games” there are several positive effects that come from spending time playing video games. Most games do not teach kids math, history and other subjects, however, they do provide students indirect opportunities to learn principles that can help them in their academic pursuits. Certain types of video games can help train kids to follow instructions as well as helping them develop their problem solving and logical thought processes. These skills translate directly to the classroom as students are asked by teachers to complete tasks and are presented problems that require them to use logical problem solving skills. Kids can also learn inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing. Games will often present them with a situation that needs to be solved and this causes the kids to have to develop problem-solving techniques. Before purchasing a video game a parent should talk with a representative at the store to see what the overall premise of the game is to see if it includes elements that will help build these aforementioned qualities. Negative Effects Although there are...

...Solution Focused Family Therapy for Families Coping With Suicide The Relevance of Applying This Technique to the Population Solution focused family therapy refers to a therapy model that helps clients work out on family problems by taking into considerations the resources they already have and the effective solutions they applied previously (Castro & Guterman, 2008). The therapeutic technique is based on the supposition that the clients already know the solution to their problems. The technique is a comprehensive counseling model that integrates most of the contents that fall in line with the client’s observation. The solution focused family therapy is relevant to populations contemplating suicide because of a number of reasons. For instance, the nature of solution focused therapy technique to dwell on the strengths of the client has been as a result of studies that hint that families dealing with suicide cases have natural resiliency. This implies that solution focused therapy technique works on proven strengths of families dealing with suicide issues. Therefore, the probability of failure is very minimal considering that the outcomes are already premeditated. Similarly, this family therapy model is relevant for families tackling suicide issues because it enables therapists and counselors to personalize treatment to their clients by using a series of techniques thus nurturing a more supportive approach (Castro & Guterman, 2008). These two features...

...Questions 1. “The peculiar character of the problem of a rational economic order is determined precisely by the fact that the knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use never exists in concentrated or integrated form, but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess (H.3)” i. What does Hayek mean by a “rational economic order”? a. The economic problem of society is thus not merely a problem of how to allocate "given" resources—if "given" is taken to mean given to a single mind which deliberately solves the problem set by these "data." It is rather a problem of how to secure the best use of resources known to any of the members of society, for ends whose relative importance only these individuals know. Or, to put it briefly, it is a problem of the utilization of knowledge which is not given to anyone in its totality. ii.
