Katie Makanya and Florence Nightingale both contrast the modern phenomenon of urban life with traditional life in the countryside. In Katie Makanya, Margaret McCord portrays the black South African life that Katie lives and how she has to adapt to the European culture during the years of colonization. Around the time of Katie Makanya’s childhood, South Africa was beginning to change rapidly due to the discovery of diamonds, which kept bringing Europeans into their territory causing their cultures and race to blend together.…
Living so near to the city of Chicago makes it very easy for me to know about the population issues. First hand, I know that the issue with overpopulations in small northern suburbs is slightly ridiculous because of how the class sizes has grown in size making some classes harder to be in. Another issue is on the south of Chicago, though it’s better now. It is considered a mostly African American and ‘rough’ area of the city. Because of the overpopulation there are many homeless people, and a lot of crime in that area. The government has started to put up low-income only apartments for these areas to help the poverty, and have also put in cameras to help keep bi-passers safe.…
Is there anything more frustrating than sitting in rush hour traffic, day after day, knowing that it will never get better? How does standing in line at the grocery story, spending a full day at the DMV, or having to squeeze into the packed elevator in a downtown high-rise sound? These are but a few minor, yet inconvenient, effects of the population explosion we Californian’s are facing. Our geographical space is not getting any larger, but our population is. The 2000 census showed California’s population increased by 13.6% over 1990 census figures to 33,871,648 people. California adds over 550,000 people annually, which is roughly equivalent to adding the entire population of the state of Vermont every year. Why is California so over populated and what are the potential long-term effects of this overcrowding?…

The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first step that the government of the United States took in an effort to keep the rights and economy of all citizens in all regions of the country safe at any cost. These acts were meant to be a safeguard for American citizens’ well-being and the West Coast’s economy by prohibiting Chinese immigrants from becoming full legal citizens of the United States. After World War One and all the destruction and chaos that was caused by the events before and after that time, the United States wanted to, at all costs, achieve peace within its borders. The United States wants a peaceful and fruitful way of life for all of its citizens. They wanted to get rid of anything or anyone that they saw as a threat to what they wanted to both achieve and maintain for the American society.…

Health care has become significant news recently, especially in the US with passing of Obamacare and costs have escalated dramatically over the recent years. Examining two health care systems, the United States and Australia’s, shows how they compare to each other. The United States and Australia share some similarities, but one considerable contrast: Australia has had a universal national health care system since 1984. Looking at the two systems strengths and weaknesses will show how each health care system benefits the citizens of each country. Showing how…
Poverty is a major problem facing our society, in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in the United States, he did so when he signed “the omnibus ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 1964. The law created the Office of Economic Opportunity aimed at attacking the roots of American poverty” (ushistory.org, n.d.). The poverty simulation gave me a different perspective on the obstacles that faced lower income families in our society, as you will come to learn in the following paragraphs.…
