...Defining Critical and Creative thinking Critical and creative thinking is described as a process, which an individual’s mind is capable of remembering experiences as well as being able to make rational decisions. The thinking process also employs one’s mind rationally and objectively in evaluating or deciding within a given situation, and this requires skilled work. According to Pros and Cons Controversial Issue (2009), it is impossible for an individual to a have a rational ability to think clearly and logically without learning how, or without practicing (paragraph.2). The ability to master critical thinking involves life experiences, which an individual is put into a situation that allows critical and creative thought to place. Describing a situation with critical and creative thought One situation that involves using critical and creative thought is the increasing population of cities. The population within cities is continues rise because of the different nationality migrating into to the United States. According to U.S. news and World Report (2012) the United States current population is currently at 313 million and growing ,and this causing problems with congestion of traffic on roads and highways ( Paragraph.1) The ongoing lifestyles of people commuting to school, work church, and activities that involves the use of cars and public transportation creates a potential danger for travelers.

...Undocumented Immigrants There are many reasons as to why undocumented immigrants migrate to the United States. To begin with, many people migrate to United States to have a better life. For example, people migrate to the United States to get a better job that has a better pay to live a better life. Another reason why they might immigrate to the United States would also be to get a better education and to have more opportunities in life like future children of the undocumented immigrants born in the United States automatically become American citizens which opens up a door to citizenship for their undocumented parents. Undocumented immigrants should be given the opportunity to be american citizens o they can have a better life, receive...

...and the list goes on. These types of freedoms people throughout the world covet, therefore attempt to enter the United States of America with hopes of sharing these freedoms. Some immigrants come with a legal passage by an ever-growing generous nation jumping through a large number of hoops and legalities, others on illegal terms in large numbers. Now, is it fair for a nation that has been built on such a vase array of different cultures and world travelers to turn away any new comers like to say “we are full?” Is it ok to punish these people for trying to make a better life for themselves and their families? Is it also fair to the tax paying individuals of this great nation to support such a noble cause from blood sweat and tears of our brows? In this debate we will discuss both sides of the argument, pros and cons of illegal immigration in the United States of America, in hopes to bring about a more clear understanding. Illegal immigration is the migration of people from one country into another illegally, violating laws of that country or state. Illegal immigration is universal and present in developed and underdeveloped countries (Palivos, 2010). The negative effects of people migrating to the country illegally is felt in various forums such as employment and over population, and although many laws have been enacted to prevent illegal entry, not every state within a country conforms to the same laws making someone ask the question as to whether the laws are fair but not...

...group Wu tang Clan and their nick-name the “killa bees” but people don’t really know much about the bees they are actually named after. The Africanized Honey Bee are the original name given to these bees but they have been deemed with name “killer bees”. The book titled “Killer Bees. The Africanized Honey Bee in the Americas” defines the killer bee as, “crosses of European races of Apis mellifera with the more aggressive African subspecies, A. m. scutellata” (1992). These bees originated in South Africa but in the 1950’s Brazil brought some in for honey production after which swarms escaped and traveled to the Americas and ultimately arrived in North America in 1985. Today they are mostly used for the pollination of honey in the southern states of America. Cause of Problem The difference between the Africanized honey bee and other bees is their aggressiveness. This causes a problem because these bees tend to attack and express more aggressive behavior than any other bees. Africanized honey bees traits according to Columbia.edu are "a highly defensive nature, responding more quickly and more bees sting, sensing a threat from a person or animas 50 feet or more from their nest, and perusing a perceived enemy ¼ mile or more” (2002). One can see how these bees are perceived different than other bees. Their angry behavior also has many effects on the honey industry, which according to Columbia.edu has an, “annual revenue of $140 million dollars” (2002). While the orchards and...

...Diversity is present in today’s society that includes diverse people especially in the United States. The increasing rate of immigrants into the United States is the result of the American culture becoming diverse. As a result, natural born citizens of the United States are now marrying into other cultures and understanding different cultures and how to incorporate it into their culture. These are changes that are associated with diversity and considered leverage to the strengths of diversity to produce competitive advantages. Culture is a strong part of our lives that is valuable and influences our views on society. The challenge in culture is to understand a different way to build an extended relationship. People of different religions and ethnic groups are helping to build communities and establish relationships with people from other cultures. The local media address cultures in community as members of the ethnic community, because it consists of Americans, Hispanics and Asians; living in a diverse community has taught me the importance of other cultures.

...Steven Klein 16 November 2015 Mr. Nealy ENG102 U.S. Immigration Throughout the history of the United States immigration has become apart of our country’s fabric which, began centuries ago. Only to become a hot topic in the US in recent years with its primary focus being illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is when people enter a country without government permission. As of 2008 the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the US which is down from 2007‘s 12.5 million people. Although the Center for Immigration Studies estimates are very different from other estimates that range from 7 to 20 million. While the Pew Hispanic Center estimated in March of 2009 there are 11.1 million illegal immigrants and that number is from March 2007’s peak of 12 million. The exact number of illegal immigrants is unknown because they are illegal immigrants. A 2005 report from the Pew Hispanic Center stated that 22% of illegal immigrants were from Latin American Countries, mostly from Central America, 13% from Asia, 56% from Mexico, with 6% between Europe and Canada, and 3% were from the rest of the world and Africa. In the United States alone every day there are almost 70,000 foreigners to migrate here. Within those 70,000 over 60,000 of them are businessmen, travelers and students; there are about 5,000 that are illegal immigrants; with 2,000 legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants have been and has continued to outnumber the number of legal...

In the 1700s, people found that it would heat cleaner and hotter than wood charcoal. The Industrial Revolutions overwhelming need for energy to run the new technologies providing the real opportunity for coal to dominant as a worldwide supplier of energy. (A brief history of coal use). As other sources of energy was discovered the use of coal diminished. However, 4 decades ago it became popular again as an energy source. The 1970’s brought about an oil crisis that showed industrialized countries that any disruption in the petroleum supply line would send a shockwave through energy production. (Morse, 2012). Even though coal is considered an environmental villain its use increased in countries that were part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (Morse, 2012). The increase use of coal for electricity generation was 61 percent with a reduced use of oil by 41 percent up until the recently. The United States has 50% reliability on coal to provide energy, but has started pushing for...

...Activists call for closure of No. 2 nuke power plant TAIPEI--Environmental groups staged a protest yesterday to urge the government to shut down the No. 2 nuclear power plant in northern Taiwan, citing concerns about the safety of the plant. The protesters gathered outside the Legislature, calling for the government to review the operations of the 30-year-old plant in Wanli, New Taipei City. They pointed out that in a routine safety check on March 16, the state-run Taiwan Power Co. (Taipower) found that one of 120 bolts that anchor the plant's No. 1 reactor to its concrete base had broken and six others had cracked. Taipower recently applied to resume operations of the No. 1 reactor after replacing some parts and carrying out other safety checks. But the environmental groups said the cracks in the bolts indicated deterioration of the nuclear power plant's structure, operating systems, parts and components. Allowing continued operation of the aging plant would jeopardize public safety. At a recent public hearing on the matter, Tsuei Su-hsin, secretary-general of Green Citizen Action's Alliance, said the decision to resume operations was not transparent.

...HRM 6311 Final Project Human resource management continues to change as the nature of business changes. 20 years ago in the military, the primary focus was the accurate on time preparation of paperwork to include, evaluation reports, awards and orders to requisition and transfer equipment. There was a huge focus in the area of personnel management, which was mostly left to small team at local level. Lundy (1994) already believes that the personnel management role lacked strategic relevance because it was mainly an administrative-type role, whereas the modern concept of human resource management is much more strategic in scope. He states that human resource management came about due to a “change in the functions, boundaries, substance and objectives” of the original personnel management function (p. 693). A change came about within the military community when we became a nation at war for the past 12 years. As the strategic war fighting procedure changed so did the way our organization manages personnel. To have a successful operation, it is imperative that an organization has smart, self-motivated employees. In order to fill positions a carefully manage process must be used to advertise, recruit and select and retain these individuals. Human resource professional have to identify challenges, streamline their current HRM practices and determine if the methods employed are effective to current operations. Next, managers make recommendations to improve HR operations while being...

...years China’s One Child Policy has affected the country in every way one can imagine. This paper will attempt to explore the major ways the policy has affected the people of China socially, and how the economy has reacted with the change. A brief history on the traditional views of Chinese families, before the policy’s implementation, is outlined ahead of the policy’s background. This is to illustrate where the people of China are coming from, socially and culturally. I hope to convey that this policy has forcefully stolen the Chinese citizens’ basic human right to reproduce and has hurt them physically and emotionally. However, statistically and economically the policy has been a success up to this point. The early psychological status of China’s children with no siblings is looked at to try to understand their mental capabilities of dealing with the pressure of having to be successful. Major flaws that were overlooked could spell disaster for this aging population in the future. The policy has created prosperity for the country, but has also left its citizens suffering. China is now looked at as having a low birth rate, a low death rate, and a low growth rate. The pros and cons of the One Child Policy are given, along with the country’s economic information, to give an overall perspective. OUTLINE I. Executive Summary…………………………..……….. 2 II.

...are different types of migrations; some of which are Global migration, interregional migration and, intraregional migration. There is a significant diversity as it relates to the issues of migration in the United States. These issues vary from state to state. However International /global migration posed the most issues in this country. These issues have affected the United States for many years. James Rubenstein notes that “unrestricted immigration to the United States ended when congress passed the Quota Act in 1921 and the National Origins Act in 1924. However over the years different issues arose on this topic; some of which are job threatening, deportation, population overgrowth, devaluing of property, and increased crime rate. Legal as well as illegal immigrants encounter problems to some extent. The questions of who belongs? Who stays? And who goes? Are often widely debated topics by citizens of the United States? It has also been a focal topic in presidential debates. Others made reference to the DREAM Act by claiming that the political parties fail to address the heart of the immigration problem. Immigration has impacted the United States socially, economically, and politically. Like Global migration, interregional migration also creates issues, in the United States. Introduction The topic of immigration can be broken down into many different categories, to deal with different aspects that affect people. Many Americans are of the opinion that America is for Americans...
