Describe An American Toilet

Bathrooms are filthy. They are dirty, dirty porcelain wastelands swarming with harmful bacteria and human waste. And they’re one in all Quentin Tarantino’s favorite equipment to apply on the big screen. If one have been to have a look at the records of American media, he or she may additionally be aware that bathrooms are scarcely pictured. In truth, it wasn’t until the 1960 launch of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho that a toilet was proven in cinema. The featured lavatory triggered pretty a stir among critics, and became a symbol of American ethics. Quentin recognized the challenge of morality that resided within the use of lavatories and used it to his advantage. In his 1994 release, Pulp Fiction, Quentin often makes use of the rest room to

One of the cultural challenges that company is facing is soiled toilet paper scattered or piled all over the plant’s bathroom floors. In Mexico and other Latin American countries, the sewer or wastes pipes leading from the building are usually small in diameter compared with U.S. standards. In

In the United States we forget the privilege that we have to be able to use a toilet. Rose George expressed the privilege in the quote, “He thought that I thought a toilet was my right, when he knew it was a privilege. It must be, when 2.6 billion people don’t have sanitation(George 2).” Why is it important to have sanitation you may ask, “ The disease toll of this is stunning. A gram of feces can contain 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts, and 100 worm eggs (George 2).” It is important because having sanitation system to help improve the health of the people in the society. In the book, The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World Of Human Waste and Why It Matters, bring to light many issues in the world sanitation

Before sanitation the world was full of endless diseases that would spread within days throughout an area. The plague for example was supported by unorganized sewage and waste disposal, otherwise known as a window. Streets were filled with trash, rotten food, and rubbish that attracted fleas and rodents who carried out the disease. Without proper sanitation the world as we know it would be wretched. Who is responsible for this sanitation? It is obviously not the general public, for we refuse to chase down a napkin that has been stolen by the breeze, or reuse an empty water bottle. We as humans that have been raised in the day in age always knowing that the loud garbage truck will come rolling through our neighborhood and the men drooping on the side of it will jump down, empty our bin, and we will never see the waste again. The part of the puzzle most of us seem to ignore is the fact that there is no magical wasteland that we send the trash off to. It is always accumulating, yet we cease to approach the problem with a resolution.

Drinking and having clean water is an everyday thing for citizens in the United States, however, unfortunately in less developed countries that is not the case. In India they have an unusual amount of pollution located in their streams and rivers. Due to the unusual amount of fecal matter in the water it has become contaminated. In the articles “How India’s success is Killing Its Holy Water” by Jyoti Hottam and “Perception of drinking water safety and factors influencing acceptance and sustainability of a water quality intervention in rural southern India.” by M. R. Francis, R. Sarkar, V. R. Mohan, G. Kang and V. Balraj I will be comparing and contrasting their findings on the source of the water pollution and the sanitation problems. They

In her article What’s the Poop on Ancient Toilets and Toilet Habits?, Jodi Magness main purpose is to demonstrate to the reader the differences between ancient and modern civilizations’ attitudes toward what is socially acceptable involving toilet habits. Magness then gives examples of public latrines in the ancient world and unsanitary they would seem to modern man.

For example, growing up in a farmer’s family in a small village in China, we did not have a restroom in the house. Every day after dinner my neighbor Soey and I would walk two minutes to the neighborhood public restroom. It was built with dark grey bricks, no doors, consisted of no toilet paper, and could only be occupied by four people at a time. However, I found the restroom trip to be enjoyable because it was the only free time I had where I could catch up with friends after a long day of school. Sometimes we even had a couple of other neighborhood friends go with us just so we could all hangout. Even in present day China, mostly in older rural areas, some of those public restrooms are still in use. At night, we had this vase shaped container with a light in the house that we could use rather than walk to the public restroom. My parents cleaned it out every morning. It was not until I was ten years old that we finally had a restroom in the house.

Therefore, “There are a number of people in India who still live on the street and beg the whole day to eat a meal. Underprivileged children are unable to attend school and those that have the opportunity drop out after a year or so. People below the poverty line live in unhygienic conditions and are prone to many health problems. With this, the vicious cycle of poor health, lack of education and more poverty keeps on increasing” (Kaur, 2013, para. 3).

Public washrooms are a vital thing to have in our everyday life. Where else would people who are far away from home do their “business”? They're crucial to have I get it. What I don’t get is the people who use them. It’s like public washrooms are where people go and forget about humanity. In what world is it fine to blast a fart while being a few feet away from another human being? Imagining it happening somewhere else: in a taxi, class, or in a crowded bus. You’d be an outcast and a human being with no manners. Yet for some questionable reason, it’s completely fine in public washrooms. Hence why humanity is decaying in our world. In addition to people forgetting about humanity and shooting farts everywhere, what really burns my biscuits, is when people use the toilets or urinals and walk away without flushing after themselves. It’s disgusting. People are gonna use it after you and they don’t deserve to see your pee or clean after you. For some reason, people become extra-lazy in public.

Bathrooms are indispensable for every human accommodation, one cannot ignore the place where one starts her/his day. Bathroom is not just a place to shower and relieve, it is the special zone where an individual explores her/his individuality, plans about the day and prepare oneself before every great start. Bigger like its role in the life, all love to have a big bathroom, but due to shrinking space, people are compelled to compromise with its size.

Dry toilet systems were presented as innovative technology sanitation system in the project applied in Chorrillos sector. The scale of the project is local and small, and centralized as regards as the origin of the funds and experts which are part of the government health institutions with low participation of end users. Dry toilet systems have high separated water flows because their infrastructure separate urine and fecal feces in different containers without connection to sewage systems, however end user participation is high because of the different tasks to compose fecal feces.

This costs around 300 Rupees per month if you use the bathroom around three times a day which unrealistic because most people use the bathroom at least 3-4 times a day. Now, it would be ridiculously hard for these people to afford using a toilet as almost one million people in Mumbai earn only 600 rupees per month.How would the people be able to pay for their children’s education or for day-to-day food needs when they end up spending half their income on using a bathroom?Instead, if they had a bathroom inside their house they would save all this money and use it for a better purpose.For example an essential need of all living things, water.A can of water usually costs 20 Rupees.But on some unfortunate days, the price goes up to a whopping 40 Rupees.This is two times more than the average daily income of a lot of citizens in Mumbai.Not only do these water prices rise, but during some summers the municipal corporation cuts off any possible water supply going to the slum residents.Imagine a day without absolutely no water. It would be a disaster, as water is an essential need and we use for many day-to-day activities.Because everyone needs water, people in the government have started to make promises to these slum residents. For example, during an election each party promise water in exchange for a

One of the biggest problems facing India’s access to clean water is the practice of improper hygiene, which is seen from the astronomical amount of people that presently practice open defecation or someone defecating outside in the open. The practice stems from early human civilization, but without much emphasis on the problem over the past century, it has continued to rise with India’s rising population. In India, “a staggering 522 million” of their citizens “practice open defecation” (India, n.d.). This is an extreme cause for concern in a country that has such a dense population due to its population size compared to the countries overall size. What this entails is that even if the amount of people who practice open defecation

In 2014, Prime Minister Modi prioritized an initiative to place a toilet in every household in the country by 2019 and provided 8 million toilets in the first year alone. Yet, simply providing toilets does not ensure their use. Although infrastructure and access to proper latrines and other
