Under the impact of community and the whole immigrants’ background, children of immigrants are more likely to study hard and pursue for a better score. When talking about go to school, Salina felt that study can make her smarter and if she did not study hard she may end like a homeless. These ways of thinking may come from her teachers, parents, relatives or even classmates. In her mind, study was hooked up with living. Salina was living under too many pressures which

The culture of the Mexican-American is very identical to each other as the aspects of family, religion, and respect towards other. The central concepts of the Mexican American “cultural values include familismo (familism), the traditional gender roles of machismo and marianisom, religiosidad (religiosity), and respeto (respect)” (Morgan, 2013). The cultures are identical the only difference is the introduction of individualistic viewpoints that they learn in the education system. The individualistic views that they learn from the school are culture shocks to those who have a heavy ideology of collectivistic viewpoint. The culture of Mexican-Americans has interfered time and time again in the results of the intelligence test. The definition of intelligence which examine all forms of skill as like language,

In the article “Climate change in Hawaii and U.S Tropical islands” written by EPA, informs the audience that island communities and ecosystems face uncertainty as a result of the negative effects brought on by one of the most controversial topics debated today. Climate change. Islands, like Hawaii, Guam, and the Caribbean, are most vulnerable to the harsh effects of climate change. The reason for this is because islands are small and the way their infrastructures are set up make communities almost directly affected. One of the most important things that are affected is the weather. In areas where precipitation was generous, rainfall is actually decreasing while drier areas see an increase in rainfall. Less precipitation also means less available water resources because

The Earth has been experiencing a considerable amount of climate change for the last several decades. Natural factors that contribute to the climate system consist of: solar output, volcanic activity and earth’s orbit around the sun. The two factors relevant on timescales of contemporary climate exist in volcanic activity and changes in solar radiation. The earth’s energy balance primarily influences the amount of incoming energy from volcanic eruptions, which have a relatively short-term effect on climate. Changes in solar output have contributed greatly to climate trends over the past century. The effect of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been at least ten times that of changes in the Sun’s output and the ocean covers more than 70 percent of the earth’s surface, receiving twice the amount of earth’s radiation. Although the sun is the engine that drives all the weather, oceans and atmosphere control the sun 's energy along certain

The article discussed the changes in many habitats due to anthropogenic activity. Anthropogenic is an adjective that describes changes in nature due to the people. Next, this article discussed climate change and the impact that it is having on species like clams, and fish due to ocean temperatures rising. The article also addressed carbon dating of fossils to look for cause of extinctions. Human development and agriculture have had a tremendous impact on the population of many species that are terrestrial. Deforestation is a big problem that has caused a decline in the bird species. Commercial fishing in many areas has led to a decline in fish populations. Furthermore this article

The audience of this book is presumed to be the general person who is not fully intact with the ideas that he or she is disrupting the ecosystem and is not aware of the effects they are doing as a whole. The book argues that no ecosystem is completely inert as things such as climate changes or drought can also affect the enviorment. Without human interaction an environment can still have issues, but the introduction of human life and economy does take a grave toll on the climate. These are irreversible effects that mankind are doing to the ecosystem. The English

Students abilities strongly correlate with the family’s socioeconomic status i.e. it depends on a combination of variables, including occupation, education, income, wealth, and place of residence. The statement mentions that children whose parents have the good educational qualification and income, can have the good impact on child's performance. Above average

The audience of this this book is presumed to be the general person who is not fully intact with the ideas that he or she is disrupting the ecosystem and is not aware of the effects they are doing as a whole. The book argues that no ecosystem is completely inert as things such as climate changes or drought. Without human interaction an environment can still have issues, but the introduction of human life and economy does take a grave toll on the climate. These are irreversible effects that mankind are making to the ecosystem. The english impact has been such a dramatic change to the climate especially the author compares Theodore 's Diary and Williams Ideas of agriculture. The author even goes on to compare the native ecosystem to the nineteenth century colonization. The natives were much less intrusive on the environments as a whole. The evidence to this was the diaries of the travelers and the natives. He also strengthen his argument by using primary sources and reaching

In this paper I will demonstrate the change of education and migration over time in my family’s history. The names of the people who I interviewed for this paper are Maria Santos, my grandmother, and Dolores Sevilla, my mother. The events that I will be talking about is how the levels of education have changed throughout the generations in my family, meaning how it started with my grandma not having any school education to me being the first to go to college. I will also talk about how my family has moved from Mexico to the United States and how that has left an impact. Now that you know a lot about my family I will now turn to my fist theme which is

Climate change is one of the most important challenges of humankind in this century. The ability to adapt, mitigate and reduce carbon emissions will be decisive to preserve the world for future generations. The last IPCC report has provided more evidence regarding the rise in temperature and sea level. Apparently, additional 2°C above the pre-industrial average temperature levels is unavoidable, and it will continue at that level due the accumulation of gases in the atmosphere (Solomon 2009). Climate change will affect people all around the world in different ways, though the capacity to cope with it is different among regions and countries. The Latin America region is notably susceptible to climate change, due its geographical position, population location and its economy relying in natural resources (Vergara et. al. 2013a). The withdrawal of the coral biome, glaciers melting, jungles & forest savannization and strongest climate events are only some of the threats that will affect their inhabitants.

    A study was regulated by the USGS in regards to the large catches of mackerel by fishermen, a volcano eruption at Indonesia’s Mt. Tambora and climate change. The article explains that the eruption that occurred at Mt. Tambora over 200 years ago and the effects that it left at the Gulf of Maine that intertwined human-natural systems facing climate change. The study showed that the eruption in 1815 caused a long lasting extreme climate event in 1816 (which is also known as the year without a summer) that caused the Northern Hemisphere’s crops to fail.

Health is a crucial and complicated matter of people’s life. It is essential to explore health from many different aspects. Health depends of every personal situation that may impact on human being therefore it is required to look at it from an individual perspective (Y158, cited in L185 Block 3 Session 2, p.7). Factors that may reflect on an individual’s health can be distinguished as internal and external. This essay will concentrate more specifically firstly on psychological aspects, as an element of internal factors and secondly on school interventions, as a part of external factors, followed by examples.
