    Throughout history, population growth has triggered many different factors in developing countries. Every country, business, and government has felt the impact of the unforeseen disasters and diminishing resources on our planet. I think one way that we can see these changes is through the “Latesvology Conceptual Model”. This model measures changes in society. The changes are economic, societal values and understanding the variances and pressure points that impact changes. Economic patterns over time are essential for understanding these changes, the two assumptions are “ that more is preferable to less”, and that the “ desire for more can never be satisfied”.…

    In the case of AIDS and Needles, nurses, doctors and other health care workers who use needles and syringes as part of their routine operation are exposed to the risk of infection of blood carried diseases from accidental injury on themselves. This issue is a pressing one as statistics reveal that Needlestick injuries occur frequently in large hospitals and account for about 80 per cent of reported occupational exposures to HIV among health care workers. It was conservatively estimated in 2005 that about 64 health care workers were then being infected with HIV each year as a result of needlestick injuries. Other blood carried diseases like Hepatitis B would also increase the risk of needlestick injuries. According to Centre for Disease Control, on the basis of hospital reports, that each year at least 12,000 health care workers are exposed to blood contaminated with the Hepatitis B virus, and of these 250 die as a consequence. Hence the fact that many people are suffering serious consequence from the risk forces us to view the problem seriously.…

    For the last decade or so a band of scholars has been trying to cast off the long-accepted “rational agent” theory of economic behavior, the one that says that people, in their economic lives, behave like calculating robots, making rational decisions when they buy a stock, take out a mortgage, or go to the track. These scholars have offered a trove of evidence that people, far from being the rational agents of textbook lore, are often inconsistent, emotional, and biased. Perhaps tellingly, the pioneers of this field were not economists. Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky were Israeli psychologists who noticed that real people often do not make decisions as economists say they do. Tversky died in 1996; six years later, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize for economics.…
