Waste management is an important part of managing an economy and this applies to every country, including Qatar. Trash or garbage can be collected from residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Basically, every business and lifestyle operations that occur within a city or a state leads to the creation of garbage. Over time, the garbage that are produced as a result of basic residential, commercial, and industrial activities could lead to the accumulation of garbage on traditional garbage storage spaces (e.g. landfills), and garbage incinerators (which by the way could present as a potent environmental risk). If these garbage-containing strategies would be overwhelmed by ...

For instance, they throw away the garbage just outside their houses, making their compounds untidy. They have a common garbage dumping site which is rarely emptied. At times, ...

Introduction
It is arguable that if many people were consulted, they would opt for refuse disposal sites to be situated far away from residential areas and places of business. There would be efficient garbage collection services (Meesters, 2009). However, this is not the case in many of the residential areas. The garbage collection services are inefficient either due to mismanagement or inadequacy of resources. In some residential areas, the efforts by the local authorities are complemented by private garbage collection firms (Mwangi, 2002) in order to eliminate the health hazards (Rajvaidya & Markandey, 2005).
It is this situation ...

This is a review concerning the environmental issues. The movie is about a Paraguayan musical youth group, which consists of kids living next to one of South America’s largest landfills.

The core motivating factors for such approach are the following: increased rates of the costs for disposal as well as the reduction and recycling goals, which are set by the states on the legislative level.

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION
The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

Crime analysis is made up of five stages: data collection, collation, analysis, dissemination, and the receipt of feedback.

Failure to complete any of the five stages can lead to incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading conclusions. However, from the most objective of perspectives, it can be concluded that data collection represents the most important stage in crime analysis. The main rationale behind this reasoning is that the rest of the steps are solely dependent on the accuracy of data collection. ...

According to EPA (2016), environmental management involves the development of systems aimed at reducing environmental impacts of various activities. In the Brundtland commission report (WCED), sustainable development has been described as development aimed at meeting the current needs of the present generation.

There is the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” However, I prefer the thought you can’t beat the price, “free”.

The origins of convict criminology were derived from studying the society that had been framed by the convicts within the confines of prison. The behavior inside a penitentiary that degrades the quality of life drastically from the outside world has the potential to change inmates towards potentially negative roles. Yet, this population has come up with its own social structure and codes to follow during their stay in prison. This social structure includes its own laws governing the population and staying focused on the unilateral goal of going back home.
The convict codes were possibly established during the 1960s ...

A bias according to which people have a habit of accepting as true is “the law of small numbers”; that bias is a tendency to make assumptions based on small quantities of information. For instance, if a hedge fund executive had successful fiscal results for two years in a row, a lot of people would think that the hedge fund executive is himself above average, however this assumption is not considered valid, stemming from such a small number of years. Another example of this biased assumption is when you think you can guess if the next coin toss will be heads or tails, when the ...

Problems

The first problem that came with the rapid growth of American cities in the late nineteenth century was the spread of infectious diseases. During this period, there was immigration of people from rural areas to urban centers. This migration enhanced rapid spread of many infectious diseases since it allowed diseases that were initially localized to spread more quickly. Diseases such as cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, typhoid, tuberculosis, malaria among others became very common in most of the American cities (Jindrich 147). For instance, about two percent of the newborns in the New York City did not celebrate their first ...

The idea of ‘everyday’ is intriguing because no two people see this as a common phenomenon; they see it differently. It can be a time anytime of the day, be it morning, afternoon, evening, or even night, or it could be routines or habitual activities that are repeated by individuals. Whatever the act, the ‘everyday’ phenomenon is hard to define as everyone perceives this differently. When perceived from an artistic point of view, the concept of ‘everyday’ finds a whole new meaning; it harbors on alienation, interaction, space and place, as well as materiality and dirt. Artists Francis Alys and Thomas Hirschhorn ...

This video is as interesting as it is informative. It talks about how ordinary guys are raking in millions of dollars after seizing opportunities from everyday activities such as garbage collection. The narrator takes the viewer through various people who have minted money by turning seemingly valueless things and opportunities to multi-million dollar firms. It is more of a from-rags-to-riches tale. The 1-800-Got-Junk story is particularly humorous and inspiring to me. Here, the video clip shows two ordinary men who are raking millions of dollars by just cleaning up junk for their clients. This way, they are not only able ...
