Privatization Leading For World Chaos

Water may be a renewable resource, but the world’s supply of drinkable fresh water is being consumed more rapidly than ever before, and most importantly, more rapidly than it can be replenished. Only 2.5% of water on Earth is fresh

Water pollution has become a major problem in our water sources. People think that when they litter or dump in our waters that their little contribution will not hurt anything, but everyone’s little contributions add up to some major problems. Our water ecosystems and the species that reside in them are being destroyed and we need to take the steps necessary to stop this. Why would anyone use the source of most of the world’s food as a dumping ground for garbage? People need to start realizing what it is they are doing when they do not take the proper steps to dispose of their garbage and the problems they are making for the future.

Our planet, Earth, is nicknamed the blue planet because of the large amounts of water existing on it. There are 332 million cubic miles of water on the surface of planet Earth (Lyons). Although we have so much water, many of the people on Earth don’t have access to it. More than a million people do not have access to safe and clean water. Planet Earth has millions of cubic miles of water but we are polluting our waters too much. Soon there may not be any clean and safe water for us to survive on. Water pollution is very harmful to the environment and it is causing many disasters on the planet. It is one of the most important problems the Earth is facing.

The one thing humans need on this planet to survive is water. If we need water to survive, then why are polluting it? Most of our nation’s waterways are in terrible condition because of the pollution in the water. Water pollution not only can cause illnesses, but also deaths for humans. Humans aren’t the only thing that water pollution causes harm to. It is also hurting our ecosystem. Humans are the leading cause of most water pollution. We keep throwing wastes into the water making the water unsafe for humans to drink. Scientists are coming up with ways for humans to decrease the amount of wastes they are putting in the water. We need to stop polluting the one thing that keeps us alive.

Earth is filled with vast amounts of water, yet it’s like a cruel joke to people who cannot drink it due to its toxicity to us. Likewise, fresh water is our most precious resource that people depend on every day. Our society is based around the use of large amounts of water in our everyday lives. Charles Fisher, a three time winner of the Gerald Loeb award, a writer for the magazine Fast Company, and the author of The Walmart Effect and The Big Thirst, tells a different story. In the article Will the World Run out of Fresh Water, which explains that people take water for granted and never see its true value like people in the past, published at the Detroit Greenhaven Press in 2012. Because we use vast amounts of water and never see the process in which water is given to people, Fisherman proposes this idea that water is taken for granted until we run out, which is more than true.

Privatization is the act of transferring ownership of a specified property or business operations from a government organization to the hands of a privately owned entity. This as well includes the transition of ownership from a public company to a private company. During the 21st century, the economy of United States have changed due to the industries that have been selected to be privatized by the government such as transportation, education and health care. Private sectors in the United States have taken control of these industries which is formally controlled by the government. It is noticeable that, the presence of privatization in the United States during the 21st century has affected the United States citizen negatively. The transportation

For centuries people have sailed the rough, dangerous seas, risking their lives to reach this place we call home. In the near future, people may not be seeking to migrate here, but rather us migrate out if we continue on the path we currently are on. The rate at which we purchase unneeded expenditures is about the same that we overuse our survival resources. I’m here to talk about the over use of one particular resource that could end mankind and cause a global extinction. It’s called water.

A criminal is easier to deal with when they’re found dead. A living criminal must be tried in court of their peers, provided legal representation, and then must have whatever prison time they receive - if any - paid for by the Government. Meanwhile a dead criminal just needs to be acknowledged then buried. When it comes to dealing with live criminals, a government finds itself in a position where it must provide for the safety and wellbeing of members of society that are often ignored, which can be costly and lead to endless legal red tape. Seeking to relieve some of this burden, The United States quickly leapt at the opportunity to take some of that burden and deliver it to the private sector, and thus, the private, for-profit prison was born (Mason). since we already live and work under the control of the free market, privatization prisons makes sense in a capitalist society. While this a straightforward and appealing approach, the nature of a prison system and the duty it must fulfill in society makes such capitalist ideals difficult to implement effectively as well as dangerous in practice. While not necessarily an abject failure, prison privatization has been extremely detrimental to American society. The issues caused by private prisons are multifaceted and complex, but they can be simplified into three main areas: an increase in recidivism, a decrease in prisoner quality of life, and private influence over the American legal system.

There are two types of pollutions that can occur there are primary that is caused from a known source and secondary is formed with primary pollutants which are mostly from a chemical reaction. When the most important object that humans need to survive like water is polluted no one is able to drink from it because the outcome will be your loves ones attending your funeral. Five thousand people die from polluted water everyday. An important fact is that sewage and industrial waste from unsuccessful experiments or the unwanted garbage is being dumped in U.S waters. The world uses water for bathing, drinking, swimming, and other fun activities. Who would want to let their children play with polluted water. With industries sterilizing the water

Here on planet earth things are steadily growing, changing and becoming faster right before our eyes. Here in America, it's hard to remember the daily struggles in other countries as we're so wrapped up in ourselves. These problems are happening daily and we don't even realize it, but one day it will catch up to us. These problems include the massive increase in population, will there be enough food, and will there be enough water for future generations? The population is growing by 80 million each year, 220,00 each day, and with that comes the demand for water, which doubles every 20 years. Though the planet contains a massive amount of water, approximately 97% is undrinkable seawater and another 2% is in the ice caps. We're in danger of many

Overall, the assigned literature explicitly describes privatization as a neoliberal strategy. The neoliberal perspective that the economy works better under the free-market approach and that government intervention should be limited, seem to couple well with the goals of privatization. Unquestionably, privatization is a controversial topic as it promotes non-traditional ideas of how the government should operate. I believe that privatization jeopardizes the financial existence of public programs such as Social Security and Medicare, programs that have historically aid the United State economy by reducing poverty among vulnerable populations. Also, privatization appears to mostly benefit large corporations as they continue to increase profits

Global Warming is the number one concern threatening the very existence of humans and everything within the environment today. The human race is to blame for the destruction of the natural world. The environmental issues that are threatening all human and non-human life today, started in the industrial revolution and the discovery of oil The need to improve the quality of life resulted in the construction of factories to mass produce products for consumers. These factories were powered by fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. The combustion of these fossil fuels emitted great quantities of pollutants that remain in the Earths atmosphere to this day and is the number one cause of global warming. However, in ethics one cannot evaluate just one thing. In ethics, as in nature, everything is connected to everything else (Partridge, 1998).

As the worlds population grows, it is forced by circumstances that it has created to face the limitations of the worlds resources. Most people in the US have always been fortunate enough to have enough of whatever they wanted. When something they like breaks or wears out, they throw it away or buy a new one, and they often don’t even make an attempt to repair an item. They neglect basic maintenance until they damage their belongings beyond repair, and expect that they’ll always have enough. But some things are beyond their control, beyond there power or financial ability to replace or repair. The world’s drinking water supply is one of these without concern, without attention, without preventative maintenance and reclamation and

It is hard to imagine that the planet earth could possibly be experiencing an epic crisis of water deficiency. The earth is made up of 75 percent water. Why, if water is in such abundance, is it such a precious commodity? Some countries have begun to ration water, while others act as if there is an endless supply. The numbers are very deceiving, simply because the water that is in such short supply is fresh water, which is crucial for all aspects of life. According to Wright and Boorse (2005) "About 97.5% of all water is the saltwater of the oceans and seas. The remaining 2.5 percent is freshwater-water with salt content of less than 0.1 percent. This is the water on which most terrestrial biota, ecosystems, and humans depend. Of the 2.5 percent, though, two-thirds is bound up in the polar ice caps and glaciers. Thus, only 0.77 percent of all water is found in lakes, wetlands, rivers, groundwater, biota, soil, and the atmosphere. On a global level the largest amount of water is used for irrigation, nearly 70 percent, while industry uses 20 percent and actual human use is 10 percent.” (page 240) Healthy aquatic ecosystems are essential providers of food and several other important bi-products necessary for life. The world currently faces a water crisis, both of amount and purity, caused by a surge in world population, food production practices, living standards, and industrialization. Improvements in wastewater management have had a vital impact on the

Many people oppose the idea of the seriousness of water pollution. Many argue that the water supply for consumption is enough and that there will be no water shortage. “Peak Water” is a term used for a global water shortage (The Environment), so people who consider that the water supply is not going to end use this in their favor. They say that thinking that water is going to be scarce In the future is silly, that people are being peak water alarmists, because there is enough water for everyone, it’s just that there needs to be a way to get to that water. The argument is that water trapped underground and the developing of new ways and technologies to have the ocean water go through a process of desalinization and become usable for people is the reason why there will never be a water shortage. All of this would seem to make the fight for water pollution pointless because if there are more ways to get to water then there would be no issues with fresh water shortages. Other opposing arguments are that people do not have the money to prevent water pollution from happening. In this case it would be farmers who have to use pesticides for some of their crops. Most farmers would not have in mind that the pesticides they use will end up affecting water supplies miles away, and even if they did they would not be able to purchase a system that could contain the chemical runoff because they simply cannot afford it. The cost of having something that can properly treat water pollution
