There is a degree to which individual factors play the most decisive role in contributing to homelessness; however‚ there is a main structural factor that contributes to homelessness and it is the economy. Even though capitalist love part-time workers‚ they are creating a risk for them to become homeless. Those who work part time have to work twice as hard as a full time worker to make ends meet and in some cases fall behind on their bills in order to have their basic needs met. However‚ what is

Oftentimes the entire structure crumbles‚ leaving a pile of rubble in which survive. Shown in(B) is one of the many masonry homes to collapse during the 1988 Armenia earthquake (M6.9)‚ claiming nearly 25‚000 lives. The failure is called soft-story collapse.

Kohat-Potwar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production The first oil well drilled in present-day Pakistan was at Kundal on the Potwar Plateau in 1866. The first commercial oil discovery was made in the Greater Indus Basin in 1914 when the Attock Oil Company completed a 214 ft well on a thrust-faulted anticline near Khaur on the Potwar Plateau (Khan and others‚ 1986). Early success in the Kohat-Potwar geologic province served to focus much of the early exploration activity in that area. The Sui
