Monkeys and humans have been compared for years, we have all heard the expression “Monkey see, Monkey do”. Analyzing individual primates at the Santa Ana Zoo was quite an experience because when I use to hear monkeys I use to only picture one certain appearance and that was a brown monkey with a light brown face, and a long tail. Moneys are not just monkeys, humans aren’t just humans, and apes aren’t just apes they are all primates which is a mammal that has certain characteristics such as: flexible fingers and toes, opposable thumbs, flatter face than other mammals, have eyes that face forward and spaced close together, large and complex cerebrum, and they are also social

My cultural ancestry comes from a Cuban and Mexican decent. I have chosen to write about my Cuban side because I can relate to them more than I could with my Mexican side. I was raised around my Cuban family and would occasionally see my Mexican side due to them living so far away. I have spent a lot more time associating with Cubans and have adapted to more of their habits.

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market.

These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

     Guatemala’s culture is a unique product of Native American ways and a strong Spanish colonial heritage. About half of Guatemala’s population is mestizo (known in Guatemala as ladino), people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry. Ladino culture is dominant in urban areas, and is heavily influenced by European and North American trends. Unlike many Latin American countries, Guatemala still has a large indigenous population, the Maya, which has retained a distinct identity. Deeply rooted in the rural highlands of Guatemala, many indigenous people speak a Mayan language, follow traditional religious and village customs, and continue a rich tradition in textiles and other crafts. The two cultures

Chicago’s budget crisis has been one of the most unfortunate events of the decade. As a former student of Chicago Public Schools, myself and other students wanted the best for our education, but CPS school teachers and faculty are given the bad news that the City Council thinks we demand too much. Resulting in the Chicago Teachers Union strike of 2012, budget cuts, and many other events impacting things within the schools, it is no longer new to students, who also encounter what goes on outside, such as political news or neighborhood violence. Those in schools feel that it has been the place to be and to feel secure. Now that I have recently graduated, I have encountered a similar want for the best for my education through my college. As

The authors goals in the book as stated in the book Made in Madagascar (Walsh, 2012, p. 103) “is to offer a distinctive perspective on the global systems and processes that shape so much of the world”. The author achieves his goal by breaking down the world within Madagascar by going in depth of the different industries such as sapphire mining and trade and ecotourism. Furthermore, Walsh explains his explains the evaluation of Madagascar from being a small island with a small population to a much larger population mainly due to the mining of Sapphires to the population decreasing once the area was over mined and the prospectors left the island due to lack of opportunity. The author clearly describes in the book that the ecosystem is unlike any in the world and how it was on the verge of being destroyed by people looking for opportunity by extracting the areas sapphires and other natural resources (Walsh, 2012, p. 3).

I write hoping to give voice to the condition of Poland and her people to our representatives. In this moment of terror, we need the leadership and guidance of our government, now more than ever to give our countrymen comfort and strength in our hour of need. Our government in London is there to represent our people to the global community, and in this moment, we desperately need your help. There needs to be a record of our suffering.

There is wealth inequality, imbalance in resource distribution, wealth gap, poverty, etc. “the proportion of the population living under the poverty line (which was already high before the crisis), may have increased by more than 10 percentage. With more than 92 percent of the population living under $2 a day, Madagascar is now one of the poorest countries in the world.”(8) This impacts how people go about their daily lives. The common people have a basic lifestyle. Even before the corruption started the Malagasy society was very poor and was trying to rebuild its economy after the kleptomaniac rule of the French. “The average Malagasy is 45% poorer than they were in 1960”(8) This is a drastic change to the people and instead of trying to rebuild the economy, the economy is once again being robbed of it’s wealth. In the short term the infrastructure is failing. Ex. the roads aren’t maintained, food shortages, clothes store shutting down, public funded schools lack supplies and teachers, etc. Even though the short term impact is pretty bad the long term impact is even

Madagascar is in major poverty for a number of reasons. One reason the country suffers is because of the past Kleptocratic Rule it endured, which affected its money situation greatly. The previous French Dictator, Didier Ratsiraka, and other workers of the government stole excessive amounts of money from the “Aid and Development of Madagascar Fund.” This kind of corruption caused friction when the country tried to invest and trade with other countries(“Why is Madagascar so Poor?”).

An economist in Indonesia, Frank Jotzo, presents a thorough report of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his government's targeted emission reduction objectives, examining ways in which they can be achieved (Mayer, Ryan, & Aspinall, 2011). Indonesia is one of few developing countries to announce the massive cut to their greenhouse gas emissions, showing their intense commitment to help provide a solution to this global crisis. Now, Indonesia is taking a seat with the major countries with equivalent climate pledges, "By choosing to join this group of major countries with climate pledges, Indonesia sent an important signal about the country’s readiness to engage on this global issue.
