Human Development : Causes And Consequences Of Human Development

Some of the psychological effects are paranoia, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Some physical effects are rapid heartbeat, sleepiness, HIV, hepatitis from sharing needles, and respiratory problems. “Once you get started, it can be very hard to stop”. (Calabria et al., 2010, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p. 181). For example, I know someone that decided to try marijuana for the first time. What he did not know was the person had put cocaine in with it. After trying it that first time he did eventually become addicted to drugs and he even started doing heroin. Drugs affect three parts of the brain the cortex, limbic system, and the brain stem. Drug addiction affects the way the brain communicate and the way neurons send, receive, and process information. “Addictive drugs increase dopamine activity.” (Boyd, Harris, & Knight, 2012, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p.

A seawall was implemented at Cronulla beach as a result of the inappropriate development, which occurred, on the very shoreline. A seawall is a form of coastal defence, constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast. The purpose of a seawall is to protect areas of human habitation, conservation and leisure activities from the action of tides and waves. Specifically in Cronulla, the seawall was administered in order to act as the tertiary dune, which was removed to conserve space that allowed coastal development to proceed. Ultimately, this structure protects the development behind it (such as hotels, restaurants and car park spots), against the waves and tides of the ocean. Hence its vital role is to capture sand and dissipate wave energy; the slight concave structure of the seawall at Cronulla increases the dissipative element of the waves, thus showcasing the Seawall’s efficacy. Such absorption of wave energy means the natural process of erosion is reduced incredibly; consequently leading to the increased stability of the land where infrastructure has been developed. Furthermore, despite the issue of inappropriate development being combated with the implementation of seawalls, there are numerous disadvantages associated with such a structure. The main role of a seawall is to dissipate or reflect incoming wave energy and as

The aim of this report is to investigate Long Reef and Collaroy Beach’s coastal management.

Collaroy beach is located 16km north of Sydney’s CBD within Warringah Council's local Government Area. It is approximately 3.6 km long from the local Collaroy surf Club to the Narrabeen lagoon in the north. It had extensive development in comparison with other beaches. There are over 120 plots of land and 293 residential units within this area. Many buildings are many stories high to accommodate a large number of wealthy people. This high level of development has posed a serious risk to property due to the effects of erosion, which has shaped Collaroy beach many years along with other natural processes such as deposition. Erosion continues to occur as the land is pushed inwards at a relatively rapid pace. A year 10 grade from Redfield College

* The sand dunes on the beaches. This area is affected by wind erosion as well as the tides if adequate vegetative cover is not present. The main type of erosion, from the sea, takes the sand from the sand dunes as well as the rest of the beach in a rip. The sand is then pulled out to sea where it forms a sand bar. On calmer days, the sand is brought back to the beach.

Throughout history, the coastline of Sandy Bay has been subject to erosion. The areas focussed on in this study are Nutgrove and Long Beach. Erosion was first documented in this area in 1813. Sea level rise and the increase in the frequency and severity of weather events is currently having an impact on the land cover of both Nutgrove and Long Beach and this is erosion is likely to increase as time passes and climate change progresses.

Preserving coastlines is important for the economy and the environment. The fact that the business world and the preservation world are on the same page is a good indicator that maintaining beaches are important for both people and animals. The data that has been collected by both parties, thus far will hopefully bring a more cost effective and more long term solution for beach replenishment. So the beach bums and the sea life may continue to enjoy one of the most beloved landscape for generations to

Furthermore, extraction of building materials such as sand affects coral reefs, mangroves, and hinterland forests, leading to erosion and destruction of habitats. Overbuilding and extensive paving of shorelines can result in destruction of habitats and disruption of land-sea connections such as sea-turtle nesting spots. Coral reefs are especially fragile marine ecosystems and are suffering worldwide from reef-based tourism developments. Evidence suggests a variety of impacts to coastline ecosystems result from shoreline development, increased sediments in the water, trampling by tourists and divers, ship groundings, pollution from sewage, overfishing, and fishing with poisons and explosives that destroy coral

Location of major natural system: In Florida, these are primarily located continuously along the Atlantic coast from the state line- south to Cape Florida, Miami-Dade County, and on the Gulf coast of the peninsula from Anclote Key, Pasco County, south to Cape Romano, and Collier County (Florida Natural Areas Inventory, n.d.a.). Furthermore, in regard to counties where beaches are discontinuous, we are able to see two additional sites in the Florida Keys, four sites on the islands west of Key West, a site in Cape Sable, and even a few on the larger islands of the Ten Thousand Islands (Florida Natural Areas Inventory, n.d.a.). Lastly, outside of Florida, these dunes are known to extend to the Alabama border, and even as far as around the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, Bahamas, and along the Atlantic coast all the way to Virginia (Florida Natural Areas Inventory, n.d.a.).

Since they were built in the early 20th century, there has been a steady increase in beach erosion. In the 1970s, the government issued a project to replenish the beaches by replacing the sand that had been eroded away over time (Fox). In the 1940s seawalls and groins and even some small jetties were built to protect the properties on the beach. By the time new sand was brought to the beach in 1991 to replenish what was eroded, there was hardly anything left. A lot of the seawalls and groins were buried in order to form the new beaches. The cost of this over the years is well into the millions and although replenishing the beaches with sand is helpful now, it is hardly a long term solution (Fox). There are even implications now as they add more sand. The gradual slope of the beaches before erosion and the replenishment of sand is no longer. The adding of sand from other places to these beaches in mass quantities means that the sand forms steep drops into the ocean in relatively shallow water. This can be dangerous for kids and adults alike who are not careful when in the water

Some amount of natural erosion is necessary to provide the sediment for beaches in estuaries and coastal bays. However, excessive erosion has occurred in the past due to development. Industrial and private development along the world’s coastlines has increased dramatically since the 1970s (Nepf). Developers and builders completed much of this construction without taking into account the effects of coastal erosion. New buildings were often placed too close to the existing shoreline so that

The following will analyse the Psychodynamic theory founded by Sigmund Freud. It will focus on the components of the ‘mind’ including the Conscious, the pre-conscious proper and the Unconscious. Examining his structure of Personality with reference to The’ Id’, ‘Ego’ and ‘Super-ego’. It will discuss Freud’s proposal of stages within his ‘psychosexual development’. It will then focus on Carl Rogers Humanistic theory, explaining his concept of the ‘Actualizing tendency’ and incorporating his creations of ‘Self concept’, the ‘Organismic self’ and the ‘Ideal self’. As a contribution to Roger’s work also highlighting Abraham Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of needs’. Freud and Rogers will then

There are three foundations of human development. The foundations are the biological development, psychological development, and social development. The concept of human diversity and cultural competences demonstrates how different people can be. General systems theory and social order are connected in some way.
