Urbanization was one significant social consequence that was caused by the First Industrial Revolution. Urbanization is the growth of a city, and broadly the transition from the majority of the population living in rural circumstances and working agriculture, to living in urban circumstances, and working in industrial jobs. Before the Industrial Revolution began, people were mostly

We once lived in a world lush and plentiful where we enjoyed all the natural resources peacefully. However at the beginning of the industrial revolution more people moved to the cities therefore increasing their dependency load. Fastforward to today and the world has seen a drastic change in the loss of natural resources as well as a number of health related illnesses like asthma. This is mainly due to the effects from carbon pollution, greenhouse gases and global warming. Canada as a country is thought of as environmentally aware and progressive. Actually has many issues regarding this topic and if it is not taken care of it will affect the future of the nation. I care about this topic because it has to

Air pollution is a major threat to the atmosphere, causing damages to the environment by emitting harmful substance to human health. Alberta has become a vulnerable society that has resulted in an increase rate of illness caused by poor air quality from asthma to lung cancer. Although Alberta is one of Canada’s largest growing industries, Alberta produces the most greenhouse gas emissions, which has made Alberta to position as the worst air quality management in the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) (Esrd.alberta.ca).

Canada, with an increasing population, vehicles, government budget, and GDP shows a high standard of living. With a high standard of living, water, environment and food are of good quality. However, this does not mean it will not damage the environment. With the cost of a high standard of living, Canada seems to be damaging the environment for other costs. Conversely, a high GDP illustrates a the emergence of environmental science or technology reducing environmental problems in the near future.. Following the data based throughout several provinces, Canada contains a growing GDP, and an increasing environmental budget that helps the environment, which illustrates a prosperous economy that is investing into the environment. The growing amount

Before the industrial revolution started most of the population worked on farms or as craftsmen out in the countryside, not in cities. This was because there was no reason for people to live in cities as they offers little job opportunities or reason to. By the end of the revolution factories were mostly in the cities and they were becoming so overpopulated disease ran rampant and houses were overflowing with people. This was because people went to the cities to work in the factories who employed hundreds of workers per factory. This caused the populations of the cities to skyrocket and for cities become very important parts of modern society.

Policies make the world a more tolerable place to live in. It gives us the societal standards of what is wrong and what is right. It is also expected to be the common ground for all individuals no matter where they are from or how much they earn. In a perfect world, policies are always followed and there would be no loopholes. But sadly, we do not live in a perfect world. Going back to the past two journals that we had, I have realized how much improvement is still needed in the policies and procedures that are already in place in order to protect the majority and advocate for the vulnerable. This journal aims to explore the role of the community in establishing health policies. In this journal, I will talk about my attendance at the Los Amigos meeting in Anaheim, share my experience in attending the Homeless Families with Young Children: A Community Response conference in Long Beach, discuss what I have learned in the Community Health Improvement Plan in Riverside County, and examine the relevance of my experiences to public health as well as to my personal and professional growth.

Health risks people take and the compromises government make. The incline of air pollution is endangering Canadians, updates are needed, the time to act sooner rather than later.
