Environmental Issues in Poland

Today the opposers were all in one large group, holding up signs and protesting. The group consisted of roughly a quarter

In early October, OWS got a major boost when prominent labor unions joined protesters in a march from Foley Square to the encampment at Zuccotti Park. Labor leaders have joined the movements in hopes that OWS can act as a counter weight to the Tea Parties growing support, and help push Congress and President Obama to put more focus on job creation. In the protest’s fourth week it gained the support of some major democratic leaders and party fund-raisers, including a top ally of President Obama. It has been said that the embrace of the protests by democrats is a clear sign of their desire to align with disenchanted Americans. On the other hand, many democrats are wary of the movement pushing the party dangerously to the left as the Tea Party movement has often pushed republicans to the right. President Obama has spoken sympathetically of the protests, stating they are a reflection of the frustrations that struggling Americans have felt for a long time. Vice President Joe Biden and Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi have voiced similar opinions.

One positive aspect of peaceful resistance is its power to consolidate people from all across the world. It brings people a sense of hope and solidarity as they fight for something in which they share a belief. On January 21, 2017; 485,000 people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders peacefully marched through the streets of Washington D.C. advocating for women's’ rights. Young and old alike joined together in order to express their views and protect the freedoms of American

Many unions now want their unions to be political. Now workers are influenced by political unions. Political views have made the trade unions to conflict in between the unions. Multiplicities of unions have lead to inter-union rivalries which made them to weaken the power of collective bargaining and reduce the effectiveness of workers in securing their rights. Public sector workers in china are to collective bargaining and effective union representation is under unprecedented attack in the USA, some Chinese workers are beginning to achieve collective bargaining and worker rights. Even though Chinese politicians and bureaucrats have tried to prevent the democracy in the Arab world from impacting Chinese society, they want to introduce labour reforms which will directly do not affect their

Protests and social movements usually take place within state systems. State authorities and decision makers concerning the change and reforms responding to the demands of protestors are usually the intended targets. Whilst the majority of social movements and protests within the 21st century are aimed at the state, it is still known for protestors to occasionally challenge non state establishments like religious organizations and university administrations (Johnston, 2011:1). Social movements includes a range of political activities including but not limited to demonstrations, marches, protests, press conferences, strikes, presentations and even sometimes violent confrontations (Johnston, 2009:8).

I believe that there is a solution to stopping pollution for good in Eastern Europe. The problem is the price of fixing it. The new technologies are extremely expensive. These technologies have been great because we are able to afford them. I don’t think that Eastern Europe will be getting any new modern technology to lower pollution levels anytime soon, regardless of their needs for

Eastern Europe’s environmental problems are not as simple as they may seem on the surface. The environmental problems that face Eastern Europe are complicated by political, economic, and social implications. The current environmental problems are a bi-product of rapid industrial expansion under a socialist government. The soviet government was more concerned with surpassing the western cultures in technology and military might than the environmental damage they were doing to their country. The following paragraphs will address the current environmental problems facing Eastern Europe, the various solutions to the environmental problems, and the efforts taken to correct the environmental problems.

A demonstration is an action by a group of people in favor of a political or other cause. It normally consists of walking in a mass march formation and either beginning with or meeting at a designated endpoint to hear speakers. Actions such as blockades and sit-ins may also be referred to as demonstrations. Demonstrations can be violent or nonviolent. Nonviolent demonstrations can turn into violent demonstrations depending on the circumstances. Demonstrations are used around the world to take a stand on issues that the public find important. Demonstrations allow a person’s voice to be heard. These demonstrations range from civil rights marches against discrimination to demonstrations

Poland by IMF standards will become developed country this year 2011 after Slovakia and Czech Republic in years 2008 and 2008. Poland unlike others countries of EU Poland experienced growth of GDP in 2009 by 1.8% and thus were only country in the EU to avoided GDP decline thanks its industry competitiveness, pool of skilled

Poland was a communist country, which faced major challenges for its independence and sovereignty. These challenges made the economic condition of the country poor. Communist era ended in 1990 and the rule of democracy began in the country. Since then, it has followed a policy of economic liberalization and today it stands as an example of success story of developing countries. Central intelligence Agency (CIA, 2012) acknowledges the economic success of the country by saying "A 'shock therapy' program during the early 1990s enabled the country to transform its economy into one of the most robust in Central Europe." Moreover, membership of European Union (EU) has also helped the country to improve its economic condition substantially.

In Poland, many species and habitats in the woodland ecosystem are being destroyed because air pollution is increasing throughout the years. Poland has helped humanity by improving the environment and substances in resources by signing in with many different programs that can help improve different types of land like forests and other regions. Since these are dying in numbers, Poland preserved their national parks and other places where species flourished to put a stop to those dying numbers. Poland does participate in the Natura 2000 Environmental Program that helped Poland establish a system of natural places for species to live in about 20% of the country's land. High numbers of tourists are also affecting the lives of many plants and animals and are causing problems in the area for pressure. Poland’s water has pollution damaging its condition.

The environment has been in trouble for a long time. Americans have been dealing with air pollution, overpopulation, natural resource depletion, pesticide, water pollution and public health issues. These issues are causing environmental problems and had a negative effect on the environment. Most of these crises started in the early 19th century. The government got involved and started creating laws to protect the environment and the public.

Throughout the years we as a society have considered the problems within our environment and the social problems we face completely unrelated issues. Technological advances have recently shown us that this is untrue, linked through human intervention our environmental and social issues have a lot more in common than originally thought. The social and environmental issue of pollution is one of the more pressing issues of our time. Our air, water and food supplies are all vulnerable to being heavily polluted by our mishandling of our environment and natural resources. Whether as a consequence of improper disposal or ignorance pollution has become one of our society's biggest complications.

The year of 1989 is generally regarded as a watershed moment in the history of Eastern Europe—the one which effectively ended the dominance of Communist politics in the region formerly known as the Soviet Bloc. Comprised of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and East Germany, this region was politically and economically depended on the Soviet Union that largely dictated the official ideological orientation of the Soviet Bloc nations. In 1989, the region’s dependence on the Soviet Union effectively came to an end along with the communist hegemony in Eastern Europe. At the same time, Eastern Europeans finally discovered the opportunity to make a transition from centralized socialism to democratic and decentralized form of market economy that was largely modeled on the Western democracies. The following chapter examines the extent to which Western theoretical and institutional trends influenced Poland’s economic reform plan of 1989. At the same time, it seeks to account for Poland’s own local tradition of neoliberal thought. In so doing, it aims to dispel the oversimplified interpretation of the transnational exchange between Polish and American economists according to which the former had to learn from scratch while the former assumed the role of educators.

Studies of Statistical Centre in Rzeszow (2009) show that regional GDP and the amount of income attributable to the disposal of per capita situatePodkarpackie region on one of the last positions in the European Union, except for Bulgarian and Romanian regions. The regional GDP per capita in 2012 was at the level of 27 719 zł in the province of Podkarpackie (67.0% of the average country) to 68299 zł in Mazowieckie (165.0% of the national average) (GUS, 2014). These studies provide quantitative evidence on disparities in economic growth between Polish regions, however they are missing the reasons for these gaps in regional economic growth.
