Personal Review: Rhode Island

The first settlers descended on the land that was to become Dennis and Dennis Port in 1639. As a matter of background, the land that is now Dennis was selected not for its proximity to the ocean, but for its abundance of fresh water ponds and springs. It is estimated

Because of its location, this community is a hot spot for commuters to Boston. Investors can capitalize on this trend by building apartment homes, condos and similar properties. Home buyers and renters are drawn to the area because of its safe environment and excellent schools. This means that property developers can readily find buyers or renters for their new units. In addition, investors always have the option of creating a new business or merely holding the land as well.

Requisitioning and repurposing excessive and unneeded resources, she can use the Highspring river to travel and transport such trade goods into other colonies, where in exchange we can receive luxury resources and other goods. Highspring will mainly trade with Georgia, a Southern Colony, and her sister Middle Colonies. We also plan to participate in the Triangular Trade with His Majesty of England, by providing them with our raw materials and goods for

Rhode island was founded by Roger Williams and others that were in providence, in the year of 1636. Rhode island, in rebellion against Great Britain, joined the twelve colonies. The name Rhode island is not the original name. Roodt Eyladt is the original name, meaning red island witch is referring to the red clay that lined the shores of the island. After the British took over, the name was changed.

Once place in Rhode Island that is very nice is Block Island. It has horse rides along the beach, fishing parasailing, and also an animal farm. Another place that has a ton of animals is Roger Williams Zoo. There are many water related activities. Also Providence, Rhode Island is home to the oldest known building in America, Vikings Tower, and then there was the Babcock-Smith House, which often played host to Benjamin Franklin. Rhode Island is also home to the first Baptist Curch in

New means of transportation emerging by the mid-18th century enabled the colonial economy to flourish. For example, transporting goods by small ships on water proved more efficient, easier, and faster than transporting goods by land. This lead to trading centers being located on sites of harbors and rivers.

many different ports for trading. This also helped the United States Navy, with all these

Due to the growing economic activity in the colonies both locally and amongst each other as well as all of the external trade, the local and colonial

Since the New England colonies were in a close proximity of the sea the colonies depended heavily on trade and fishing. New England participated in the Triangular Trade, exporting goods such as lumber, fish, horses and flour then in return the West Indies would supply the colonies with sugar, molasses, and rum.

If I had the ability to choose which colony I could live in, I would live in the colony of Providence in Rhode Island. Roger Williams and other colonists, who were exiled from other colonies for their radical views, established the colony of Providence, Rhode Island in 1636. The colony was founded on the solid belief that the church should remain separate from the state. The geography of the Rhode Island colony was the same as the rest of the New England colonies, mountainous with a large amount of trees. The Rhode Island Colony had long, cold winters and brief, mild summers. The extended periods of cold weather aided in the reduction of disease in the colony. The founder of the Rhode Island colony, Roger Williams, made sure that all religions

According to the World Health Organization, a 2008 study showed that in the last 100 years, the world has warmed by approximately 0.75oC (Cruickshank 354). This warming has been and is a major factor that has contributed to the increase of destructive weather events. Such could be true in the case of the deadly typhoon that struck the Philippines in November of 2013. These weather events, in turn, contribute to the fact that infectious disease is the cause of approximately 37 percent of all the deaths in the world. This statistic is only expected to increase as a result of global warming. Additionally, over 40% of the citizens of developing countries and less than 2% of the citizens of developed countries are infected at any given time (Chan et al. 330). This is a staggering inequality, and it is undeserved that many of the countries that are being the most affected did little to contribute to the cause of global warming. This is why developing countries were specifically chosen to be looked into opposed to the entire earth population. Now, that some context has been given, more specific examples and studies can be looked into.

The ability of populations to survive and reproduce in specific environments are measures of adaptability (Dobzhansky, 1970). So when environmental conditions change, polar bears have an increase in environmental stressors. Rapid climatic warming may change the diversity of pathogens in polar bear populations. Pathogen diversity is the variety of viruses and diseases being spread in a population. Climate change exposes the Arctic species to new pathogens. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has a crucial role in vertebrate immune systems (Weber, et al., 2013). According to Follman, Heuffer, and O’Hara (2011), living in the Arctic is a way the polar bears avoid such pathogens. However, slight environmental temperature shifts can translate

Infectious diseases are more seen in people living in places with less sun during winter months, we know those as influenza virus or simply cold. The sun in those places is unable to produce vitamin D and that is why we get sick so often. The people that live in the warm places, where the vitamin D is produced all year round, don’t get sick as often (Holick, 2008).

When the temperature is hotter, people will spend more time outside, whether it be boating, swimming, gardening, playing sports, or just being outdoors. With these outdoor activities comes health risks; such as sun burn, dehydration, heat stroke, drowning. So, with more people taking part in risky activities comes the chance of people getting injured and needing medical care. With this changing climate must come updated public health education to keep people aware of the risks of activities done in hotter

In future study of susceptibility it may also be beneficial to monitor cohorts from birth as Cornell et al., (2008) found that lifelong immune-competence depended on which seasonal cohort the individual belonged to. They found individuals born early in spring had an increased ability to fight infection which could be due to the influence of condition in the early stages of development or the mother’s condition during pregnancy and weaning (Cornell et al., 2008). Less is invested in late season offspring as the mother’s reserves and thus condition declines due an increase in population density and thus competition (Cornell et al., 2008; Newey, & Thirgood, 2004).
