Economic transformation has led to tremendous change in the role, scale and meaning of major urban airports worldwide. The major gateway airports are attracting spatial concentrations of commercial activities, leading to transport induced growth (aerotropolis). In Australia, airports are becoming major business centers and are being leased off to private companies by the government. The airports are no longer public goods but profit oriented ventures. As a result of development of these airports by these private companies, complications arise which relate to land use, environmental impacts and implications, infrastructural transport and stakeholder relationship. The impacts of airports are a challenge to ...

Therefore, he suggests that there is a need for the society to embrace risk communication to enlighten the society. However, this can only be achieved if this is done in a descent and rational manner. This, to the author, is the only way through which such disasters can be ultimately eradicated. It is true that that the prevailing environmental conditions have made life more difficult for people. Surprisingly, it is those who make no contributions to environmental degradation who suffer most. I concur with the author for making such a claim. The dangers associated with pollution result into diseases such as cancer ...

Abstract

Present day climatic change is the direct result of human influences, which have so far crossed the bounds of variations of natural. The true source of global climatic change is man-induced alteration in atmosphere’s composition. These issues result mainly from emissions associated with uses of energy resources, more or less due to local and regional scales. Urbanization and changes in land use are also an important aspect. Though progress has been made in techniques of monitoring and understanding climatic change, there are still quite a many scientific, technical and institutional obstacles for precise planning to adapt to and mitigate ...

Over the years, the transport sector has undergone revolutionary development and advancements compared to none other. Among the main factors that were, and have been considered thereby contributing to the development of the transport sector, is the environment. It is notable and unarguably evident that the previous forms and means of transport were great contributors to environmental degradation. This prompted environmentalists and transport experts to seek for better means of transport that do not harm the environment, and if they do, then at a lower level than earlier. In the present day, almost all over the world, environmental suffering in ...

Introduction

Nature has always been the subject of many debates since the discovery of its existence. Human beings have always made it their duty to preserve the integrity of the environment of which nature is a part of. However, human beings are the dominating and the intelligent species have played a major role in the destruction of the ecological system around them. This is due to a rapid increase in population and development. The wilderness is the part of the environment that has not been affected by human activities either positively or negatively. The range of biological diversity found in the wilderness is ...

Article Summary

The article sheds light on how large corporations such as Enron and WorldCom have been involved in malpractices related to the way these corporations were run. Both Enron and WorldCom were guilty of ignoring the demands of the stakeholders. Therefore, there is a strong need for major changes in the way such corporations are run, and for environmental and social factors to be kept in mind. One way of pleasing all parties is through a process called Socially Responsible Investing or SRI. SRI does not mean that businesses ignore the financial side of things and safeguard social and environmental factors at the ...

Reflection on the Reading Forest development the Indian way by Richard Reed

When human beings feel the urge to expand their resources to satisfy their needs and demands, they go an extra mile and destroy natural habitats. Humans have to find new horizons in search of these resources and this has turned out to be costly because there is so much that is lost in the process. It is in this context that one can place a story told by Richard Reed. In Forest Development the Indian Way. Guarani stood as a tribe that knew and understood their ecosystems so well that they engaged in activities that sustained it, until the rest of ...

My impression is that the effort of USA towards the protection of the environment is not a bad thing, but it should be carried out in moderation. There are many people who accuse the environmental regulations for negatively impacting on the US economy. These people assume that efforts to protect the environment incur large costs. These costs need to be well defined so that people may stop making assumptions, and dismissing the idea of protecting the environment.
The money spent in protecting the environment is worth if the benefits outweighs the costs. Protection of the environment is a good investment ...

The Professor's name

In the article Katrina Shows Racial Divide in America, the author Jamal Watson, reintroduces the issues of racial inequality that exists in the USA. Watson uses the historical ladder to describe the position of African-Americans in the modern society. It seems that racial divide is under spotlight only when some natural disaster affects the population of African-Americans. In this article, the hurricane Katrina serves as an evidence of the racial disparity. Watson argues that the issues of African-Americans are not presented to the rest of the world fairly. According to Watson (2007), "In my experience, many people outside America ...

On his discourse on light, Descartes acknowledges that our life experiences are dependent on our senses. With sight being at the center of man’s understanding of the world, Descartes attacks the accuracy of people’s perception. He provides a compelling argument about inaccuracy of human sensory perception through comparison of blind man and normal man’s perception of the surroundings.
Descartes opens the discussion by describing the experience of walking with a stick, which is used to explore the sensations of the surrounding environment. He compares the interaction of the stick, the object, and the hand in a blind man ...

Abstract

The world population is increasing on a daily basis. The consumption rate of natural resources by the human is skyrocketing with little concern about the future. Competition on the available resources is getting stiff with little being done to handle the situation. It is every individual’s responsibility to protect the environment.

The article review is trying to talk about the issue and act as a revelation to the people around the world who tend to give a blind eye about future survival. The author analyses prehistoric events where humankind was faced with tricky situations and was forced to find alternative means ...

Robinson’s article “On Various Kinds of Thinking” explores the philosophers’ perspective of intelligence verses the contemporary view of intelligence. The shaping of human affairs borders on the manner in which we think. The philosophers held the opinion that mind is separate from the body and it influences human reasoning. While this has been the view passed from one generation to the next, Robison seems to hold the view that the body and the mind function together. Thus, when the body is sick, the mind would be sick.
In one way or the other, the longing of a person ...

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

In the article, the writer makes the case that women have better instincts for the ecological sustenance of the earth. Her case is based on the fact that women are more fundamentally materially grouped in the ecology of the planet than men. She regards these instincts to human existence on the planet. She says that human-caused environmental problems of the planet are extensively due to an exploitive, paternalistic, male dominated culture (Warren & Erkal, 1997). Mary approaches the argument from a Marxist, materialistic view combining it with ecofeminism and non-anthropocentricity. She argues that, there is no necessary conflict between a Marxist approach ...

After taking time to read the articles it was clear that children and the definition of children have radically changed over the course of time. The social role of children including how the general society perceive childhood depends on the prevalence of a dominant environmental norms. For instance, in 19th century children seem to have no definite conclusion of what a real childhood is all about because of how the society portrays childhood in poverty, exploitation and slavery (Clarke). On the other hand, such trend diminishes as the dawn of the century approaches and with the emergence of the industrial revolution, ...

Renewable energy pertains to energy that is continually replenished no matter how much of it is used as energy resource. Examples of renewable energy are sunlight, rain, wind, waves, and geothermal heat. Among these, the sun is the best source of renewable energy considering that there is never a shortage of it despite advanced technologies' dependence on solar energy. It is also good for the environment unlike other traditional energy sources. Using solar energy, locations that depend on solar energy save a lot on electricity costs as they generate power through natural means. One of these areas is the Town of ...

Hurricanes and Tornados

The accessible studies highlights that although Hurricanes and Tornados are two different natural occurrences of diverse magnitude, both are damaging windstorm characterized with regrettable impact on human lives and resources. Environmental experts have described hurricane as a huge air mass that can be more than 1000 miles while tornado is a seldom occurrences that is one mile across. Despite understanding the trends and the impacts of these two phenomena, global societies and most specifically international environmental experts have taken imperceptible measures to avert their outcome.
Based on my understanding, tornado is a rapidly spinning of air that emerges because of a thunderstorm ...

The American hospital system is in a state of crisis. On the one hand there is competition to increase the profits that hospitals generate. On the other hand there is a concerted effort to improve the quality of care that is delivered by them. In some sense, these are competing values insofar as quality healthcare is an expensive proposition. Medical error accounts for a large portion of the failure in quality as well as the perceived lack of quality in care. In some respects, medical error is unavoidable. Physicians are humans and they will make mistakes. Furthermore, many hospitals are also teaching ...

Article Review: Human Population, Carrying Capacity, and Resource Use

It is easy to forget that human beings are animals and that they must follow the same ecological and biological rules as the rest of the animal kingdom. Humanity has the biggest ecological footprint-- the amount of land that it would take to provide all the resources for a population and take care of its waste-- of any animal in the animal kingdom. Calculating the carrying capacity of the world for humanity is difficult, but research suggests that the ecological footprint of humanity is growing to the point where the earth may not be able to support the type of ...

Canada does have its own federal regulators. One of their jobs is to ensure that while resources are being developed in the country, the environment is not being exposed to unnecessary harm. Another job of the regulators is to monitor any undo financial risks to protect the economy of the country. According to a recent report, the country’s decision to aggressively pursue development of some of its resources has come before the protection of both the environment and the safety and security of the country’s finances.
Canada’s commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, Scott Vaughan, ...

Dernbach (2002) defines corporate environmental responsibility as the commitments of individual firms to efficiently manage and control the damage inflicted upon the natural environment by its processes, products and business molds. Consequently, the foundation of corporate environmentalism is sometimes associated to autonomous environmental groups. Over the years, this concept has become applicable in most companies and organizations. It follows that companies have come out to openly declare their commitment to manage the environment in a sustainable manner. Notably, such intents are usually posted in the company’s website. It is however disturbing that some of these companies are still rated ...

According to the authors, there are three main considerations that business units ought to be privy to concerning the ecology. In a sense, businesses must be fully incorporated into the basics of the ecology and must tailor their activities in tandem with the ecology. In this strain, the ecology is described as facilitative rather than appreciative. However, the main rider is the organization in question ought to recognise the trajectory and state of affairs in the ecology and so tailor its programs, even the most mundane in consonance with the strategy.
The three limbs of strategy are productivity, robustness ...

As urban centers have grown and more members of society has become less involved in agricultural practices, the connection that people have had to the environment has also become more distant than in previous generations. During the last couple of hundred years, fewer people than ever are more aware of how important it is to protect the earth on which we live and the natural resources that it has to offer. This has become even more evident during the 20th and 21st centuries, expedentially each decade.

Educational system failure could be a national problem since education and knowledge are the root to everything new in life. Therefore, the instruction’s role and instructional strategies need to be precise and practical, which is one of the central focuses of executive education.
According to Schon(1987), the instructor’s role needs to be reviewed. Instead of teachers using the traditional lecture technique, instructors should use more interactive techniques by promoting dialogue and role-play with students, as well as performing as coach or mentor. This would allow students to stimulate the discovery of new meanings along with new ...

Gait adaptability, the ability to avoid obstacle and take visually guided steps are crucial for moving safely.
