...The Effects of Population Density and Noise Paper The Effects of Population Density and Noise Paper The population density of the world has grown so fast over the last years, this is all do to the population rate of the world. When you think of population density it is the amount of people numerically that have settled in a specific area. I was reading the census website and found out that nearly 70 people are occupying per square mile of the world. Issues that have occurred with population density that have caused problems with the world are minimal privacy, excess population, and pollution. Issues that occur also with population density affect everyone around it and the environment, noise is a dominant problem. Due to the matter of population density there is now another problem that is being caused by it which is noise production, especially in high density areas. Then when areas that are populated continue to grow the people that are living in them will chose to move somewhere else to gain some type of privacy. In my paper I will describe the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space. Examine how the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important as populations become denser. I will clarify the effect nature has on individuals living in urban environment. Describe the concept of noise and examine the effect that it has on individuals. Finally I will examine at least two strategies that can be used to...

...presidential primary elections. Voting is something Americans are taught is a fundamental right of being a US citizen and it should be exercised extensively as it is part of the foundation of democracy. Historically, African Americans and women did not have the right to vote in the United States but they were fought for because voting is such an essential right. Why is it that people are not exercising this right which is so important to the future of the United States? In this essay, local voter turnout in the US, Canada, and the UK will be described and explained and then compared in...

...The population law in China is a law invented in the late 1970s by the government in china. To begin with there was only a one child policy where a soon to be mother could only have one baby. If the mother were to be pregnant with twins or triplets they would be aborted immediately. A couple of years later announced that if you were the only sibling in your family you were able to have two children.This law has created less population decreasing traffic on roads having plenty of space and homes for families. But it has also created ghost cities a ghost city is a city where barely anyone lives in and is very hard to make a living there for lack of customers. This law has also created “ hidden children “ where children are born secretly and have no identity .That is why China's violation law should be abolished because The law violates...

...Evolution is a fact or theory. There are certain characteristics that make a theory a theory and a fact a fact. A theory is something that is thought to have happened or why something happens etc. but a theory is something that hasn’t been proven. When someone’s theory is proven it is considered a fact. So with knowing this I must agree that Evolution is just a theory because there is no complete proof or evidence to prove support or back up the theory of evolution. Therefore due to the definition of a fact and theory evolution must be a theory. Too me Gravity is not a theory. I believe this because gravity has laws; each law explains how gravity works. When these laws are tested in both environments with and without gravity the laws are proven to be true and work. Therefore due to the definition of a Fact in my personal opinion gravity would be a fact since the laws of it can be proven to be true. Video 2 essay: Why was Darwin considered to be a “revolutionary”? Charles Darwin is one of the most famous biologists in history. With a Theory called Natural selection he helped prove that biology makes since and how all species evolve to be designed how they are over time. As he studied the Galapagos Islands off South America he observed many different species of animals. He looked at how they reacted around each other, and things like how a population of a species would survive. As he went against all boundaries of other scientists he made his theory of Natural selection...

What are some attitudes and customs people of this group may practice? What is something you admire about this group’s people, lifestyle, or society? 1. The German Americans are the largest singles source of ancestry of individuals that are in the United States today. The German Americans settled in the United States in the late 1700’s, they came because of their religious dissenters such as the Amish who were attracted by the proclaiming of religious freedom. Even though the German Americans started coming in the late 1700’s it wasn’t until the 1830’s through 1890 the German immigrant population represented one quarter of the immigration. During World War I most of the German Americans distanced themselves away from their home land, by the ending of the twentieth century the animosity that was towards Germany fell distant. That is because of John F. Kennedy being in Berlin in 1963 and Ronald Reagan in 1987 and they both spoke of uniting Germany. Present days the immigration from Germany is between 5,00 and 10,00 annually. Some customs that the Germany Americans may practice still while in America would be their language. They would even continue to cook their dishes, and open up German bakery stores. Something that I admire of the German Americans would be that even though the Germans in their homeland did horrific things during...

...There are a lot of things that are not certain in our lifetime. Where we will go, what we will do, how we will handle certain situations. The one thing that is certain is death of species and all living things including humans. But, with death comes life and with life comes more life. More life means growth in numbers in communities, whether small or big, suburban or city. With the vast growth in numbers that means the earth has to supply more of our resources for the numbers. This also means that there has to be more areas we need to clean out for more of our supply, more animals we need to kill off in order to keep our shelves filled with food, more natural resources that will not be replenished as time goes on which allows us less opportunity in the future. Human population can become a problem in the future depending on how fast growth continues, which brings the environmental problem of resource consumption and energy conservation in to play. According to my research, the rate of human population has peaked since around the early 60’s. With us obviously sharing our earth resources such as water and food we have shared to be more than a third of what we have used since then. This only shows that we will use more as time progresses. This problem is not only affecting our supply but our climate, loss of species to even resource extraction. The world’s population is believed to reach a level eventually that there will not be enough resources to sustain life as...

...beings are considered to be the most advance species on the planet. This also makes us the most intrusive species on the planet. We effect our environment more than any other living creature. Our populations continue to grow exponentially each year and as they do we intrude on other species habitats even more. Considering we are the most advanced species it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all other species and do what we can to shorten the endangered species list. The conservation of wildlife is an incredibly important goal that all people should take part in. “Successful species conservation has often been defined as simply the avoidance of extinction” (Redford 2011.) This is the most important goal of anyone interested in wildlife conservation. It is important for us as a species to take responsibility and make the effort to keep other species away from extinction. Wildlife conservation is not something that can only be handled by professional members of organizations. Anyone can do their part to help protect a species in need. In some cases it is as simple as refraining from harmful activities such as hunting for sport. Hunting is a major conservation concern (Selvan & Veeraswami, p11.) If people raise awareness about how hunting effects the populations of large bodied animals perhaps we can help to reduce the damage done to these species. Hunting has been a part of every culture since the dawn of time. Once, it had its place as it was required...

...When healthcare providers are providing care for American Indian or Native American populations, there can be frustrations not only for the healthcare providers because they do not fully understand how to give proper care to the population, but also frustration amongst the AI population because they are unable to get the care that they need for their community to be safe and healthy. This has been a trend throughout the two parties’ relationship. One example of this was in the book Rationalizing Epidemics where David Jones discussed how the U.S. government forced the American Indian population to transition from their tradition nomadic way of living to the Americanized settled lifestyle. This is what ultimately began the health struggles of...

...Do not wait until it is too late, global warming is a real problem that must be confronted now. The earth has heating and cooling cycles that are natural and right now the earth is in a heating cycle. The human activities that stared in the industrial revolution had altered this cycle; however, many people do not agree with this statement. The fact is that these activities created a problem that is called global warming. One evidence that proves that the global warming is real is the increment in the sea level. A group of individuals published an article called “Infographic: Sea Level Rise and Global Warming”. The article shows a bar graph of how the sea level increased faster in the cities on the east coast of the United States. Global average...

...October 13, 2012 Professor Butler Guppies Lab Re-write Guppies The guppy is a freshwater fish that was originally found in certain South American and Caribbean locations, though it has since been introduced to areas all around the world. Its scientific name is Poecilia reticulata, while another name they are commonly known by is the millionfish. In my own words natural selection is when an animal or anything can go through process over and over again and become stronger. i also believe that if something tragic keeps happining to something or someone they would eventually change and adapt. What happened to the guppies is when we increased the predator; there were less colorful guppies, and more dull ones. The reason i mentioned the increased in pradator rate is because the predator has a lot to do with how the guppies adapt and evolve over time. Sexual selection is the process by which certain organisms produce more offspring by mating more frequently than other organisms of the same sex and thereby ensure the survival of more of their genetic traits. Sexual selection is a form of natural selection in which organisms are competing not for food or other resources in the environment but for mates. The development of size difference between males and females in mammals and birds, in which the greater strength (and often aggressiveness) of larger males allows them to have...

...The effects of populations and noise go hand-in-hand, or have a cause and effect relationship. If there are larger amounts of people in a smaller space, there will be more noise. The amount of noise a human can tolerate changes from each person’s own perspective. Most people have a desired level of noise, and a desired amount of personal boundaries. Cultural factors affect the way human beings determine what is appropriate personal space, or what is uncomfortable for each individual. Environment has a huge impact on what one considers privacy. The comfort level in which individuals interpret their own privacy varies, also has to do with how one is brought up and what their personal culture has taught him or her or privacy. For example, in certain cultures the people feel it is appropriate to keep the women covered up as much as possible. Traditional Muslims wear head pieces that cover everything except their eyes. African tribal groups will show their women wearing next to nothing, they may have their breasts exposed or it may be customary for the whole tribal community to wear nothing at all. If there is no stigma taught by the social norms of that society, then the people do not feel as though they are exposing themselves. Individuals are a product of their environment. If what they are doing is taught to be right, then they will not have the feeling that they are doing something wrong. Human territoriality is the predisposed feeling to control one’s own surroundings and...

...are faced with challenges that go beyond the average person, When they are sick or have something they are unable to communicate or how about legal issues. These issues require someone to speak up on their behalf, someone who will support them and look out for them in their best interest. Advocacy Advocacy is the act of pleading or arguing in favor of something, such as a cause, idea, or policy; active support (The Free dictionary by Farlex, 2013). Many face problems when it comes to advocating for people with disabilities because of the communication. Many who cannot communicate effectively are misunderstood. Because they cannot express themselves or they are at a level where they cannot explain their needs. This happens in all areas of their life. Then you have those who do not speak and are limited or do not know how to use sign language and those further threatened by not being able to sign or communicate. This causes the needs of those with disabilities to not to be met, affecting their well-being. This follows in their personal life, medical/health, and legal issues as well. The issue of needed advocacy and their needs properly met is a problem (Krahn & Campbell, 2013). Plan recommendation This plan could help, certainly, the issues still would befall but these could aid the situation. Public health awareness requires appropriate data so it is followed and traced. The population monitored to aid in the tracing. Research must be done and followed, used to determine...

...mini checklists at the end of most sections contain questions that your RD must answer! 1. The Problem Statement. The first step is to clearly state the problem or objective of your study. Discuss the problem and provide some background statistics and/or history. A general discussion should come first, followed by one or more (not too many) research questions aimed at addressing the problem in some meaningful way. 2. Literature Review. It is always good to place your intended research within existing research. With a little research you should be able to find people (scholars) who have examined similar question/s and/or problems. Do not re-invent the wheel. • Theory Defined - a set of related propositions that suggest why events occur in the manner in which they do. Think of theory as a conversation you want to join and add something to. The conversation is among people (social scientists or practitioners) who share an interest in your problem or research question/s. 3. Hypotheses. Now that you have placed your work in a theoretical context, you need to develop some clearly stated hypotheses. • Hypothesis Defined. A hypothesis is used to organize a study; a hypothesis proposes a relationship between two or more variables (it is generally better to start building hypotheses with just two variables). Typically the variables are the independent (IV) and dependent (DV) variables. Example: As the...
