to live. Native Americans have a strong relationship with the earth, they have creation stories of how the earth came to be. In Navajo tradition, it is said that this is the fourth and final world. We came from three previous worlds and they all been destroyed. Which means once we destroy this world there may not be another place for humans to live. What the Sioux tribe fears is that once the pipeline starts to leak the oil into the river, the water will be contaminated and people who use the river
In the 2011-2012 school year, New York City imposed 70,000 suspensions, and arrested hundreds of students, many for non criminal behavior (“New York City’s”). This is a direct ramification of the school to prison pipeline. The school to prison pipeline is “...the policies and practices that are directly and indirectly pushing students of color out of school and on a pathway to prison, including, but not limited to: harsh school discipline policies that overuse suspension and expulsion, increased
The majority of pipeline failures are caused by undetected corrosion of the pipe (1). A real-time corrosion detection technique that does not require access to the entire pipeline would allow for maintenance and repairs to be done before a failure occurs, saving time and money, reducing or negating environmental damage, and easing political pressure and social stigma on pipelines. Pipeline failures can relate to each aspect of the STEEP model. When a pipeline fails, it effects the surrounding
The Keystone Pipeline The Keystone Pipeline is a pipeline based in Alberta, Canada that transfers up to 830,000 barrels of oil into the United States daily. The pipe is 1,179 miles long, ending in Steele city, Nebraska. Although about 61 percent of Americans approve the pipeline, there are many environmentalists and other U.S citizens who are against the pipeline and the dangers that may come from it and the effects it could have. Supporters of the pipeline claim that it could create thousands
For the most part, everyone is pretty familiar with the Dakota Access Pipeline and the protests that surround it. A 1,172 mile pipeline project running from North Dakota to Illinois. The proposed pipeline will run directly through the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's land, threatening the water source as well as desecrating sacred lands. Mainstream media has downplayed the concerns of the Sioux Tribe, calling them merely "anti-energy protesters"- however, the issues at hand are far greater. The
Pipelines are making headlines lately for all the wrong reasons. It is important to address why they are perceived to be harmful, if they actually are, and how they can be improved for the future, or if they should be eliminated. The use of pipelines date back as far as 500BC in China. In those times, the pipelines were made of bamboo, used to separate the salt from the sea water. The United States did not adopt these until much later. Edwin L. Drake drilled his first commercial oil well in the
many factors like education, salary, and availability. This involved cross referencing a multitude of different sources which often offered varying information, and interviewing and experienced Certified Pipeline Welding Inspector. If I were to go through with my dream of being a Certified Pipeline Welding Inspector I would have to overcome a limited local job market, inconvenient hours, and an unpredictable schedule, but I would also see benefits like a high starting salary, an ideal environment
cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realise we cannot eat money. Water is something in such abundance that is available to us at the turning of a faucet, so much that we tend to take it for granted and forget its global impact. We need to stand together and protect clean potable water when our watershed is being threatened. Water is our most precious resource, without it, life itself would seem to exist. The North Dakota access pipeline is a 3.78 billion dollar
government is digging up their sacred lands and farms to build a pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline was proposed in 2014 as a method of transportation for domestically produced crude oil. It is planned to run from North Dakota, through South Dakota and Iowa, arriving in Illinois. The pipeline is an efficient means of transportation of this oil, but the negatives outweigh the positives. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says the pipeline is passing through some of their lands. The tribe also claims the
Office for punishment. By 6th grade the student is frustrated with school and never learns the material they miss out on. Rather they just get behind and drop out to pursue illegal activities to sustain themselves. Eventually, the dropped out student gets caught doing a crime and gets sent to Juvenile Court. According to Kupchik, within The School-to-Prison Pipeline: Rhetoric or Reality, schools and prison are interlinked as school reveal student’s deficits, some frustrated individuals may fail out of
