...Introduction NASA scientists of the 1960s discovered the growing cloud of Carbon dioxide and methane that surrounds Venus is the reason for its temperature of 600 degree Celsius. With this observation came a realization, that if the omission of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the Earths atmosphere increased, it could be comparable to the temperature of Venus. This realization had sadly been known for centuries and is still known but no one continues to create a solution to this growing problem. We on earth face a challenge, and we need to find the solution. This solution can be reached through economics and science combining forces to ensure that future generations are able to survive and thrive. By understanding the nature of the global warming and creating effective economic policies we are able to become a step closer to making all the difference. The Global Warming Problem Global warming refers to the dramatic rise in the earth’s temperature due to the excess emission greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane. This phenomenon of global warming has major implications for humanity and nature. With rising sea levels, hotter and drier weather and increases in uncertainty humanity is at risk and the natural environment. These turbulent conditions lead to rapid changes in economic activity in terms of out produce, the way in which all living things can exists. It is through the introduction of policies by governments and other bodies that...

In discharging their duties effectively there is always a question that remains unresolved whether nursing should be approached as a science or an art or both? Academicians and practitioners stand on both sides and some tow along the middle path. Gary Rofle (2002) suggests that it’s not a pure science and discounts the opinion that nursing reflects technical rationality. He suggests that reflective learning, learning as an outcome of doing, which is closely related to art and which differs from individual to individual, dimension should also be considered. From the above discussion we can conclude that nursing...

To present more analytical description, the signs found in the advertisement are analyzed based on Barthes’ orders of signification. Besides that, this study also employs Kress and Van Leeuwen’s method of reading images and intertextual analysis in order to obtain more comprehensive analysis. The result of this study shows that Mens Biore Double Scrub advertisement represents two different concepts of masculinity. The first one is the traditional concept of masculinity. The second one is the new concept of masculinity offered by the advertisement. Generally, words that are used to represent both concepts of masculinity are power, confidence, aggressiveness, competition, challenge, and bravery. The connotative signified success, financial independence, and physical attractiveness are emphasized to change the concept of traditional masculinity to be in line with the company’s need.
