Climate Change Question: What are the factors that affect climate change? Causes of climate change The earth’s climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. What the world is more worried about is that the changes that are occurring today have been speeded up because of man’s activities. These changes are being studied by scientists all over the world who are finding evidence from tree rings‚ pollen samples‚ ice cores‚ and sea sediments. The causes of climate change can be divided

Theatre can be a powerful tool to create social change. To the audience witnessing theatre‚ it is a piece of art that can evoke a feeling or provide a message that can cause action. For the actors‚ the effect can be even more profound as they are forced to empathize with their characters in order to portray them accurately.

Systemic Change In a school system‚ there is going to be many times that systematic change must be made to better prepare students for the future. With that change‚ there can be many unintended consequences.

The Resistance to Change Against better judgment‚ moral correctness‚ or just plain logic‚ it is in human nature to resist change. Throughout history it has been shown that there will always be a great deal of resistance to change‚ even if that change may be positive.

Complex Change: Presentation 20 May 2005 Harry Truman once said “You issue orders from this office and if you can find out what happens to them after that‚ you’re a better man than I am!” He was talking about the Oval Office rather than the office of the CEO‚ but the analogy holds.
