York University Case Study

Two specific groups that I identify with as part of my decision to attend Columbia Southern University is based on my family and work. As an individual my choice to attend is based on my own desire to achieve a higher education in order to obtain a job that is satisfactory to the life and goals I have mapped out for myself. By having a job for which I have specifically attended school for, it will allow me to get and sustain a career conducive to my own happiness and prosperity. While my own individual choice to attend school is great, I have a family that encouraged me greatly in this decision. Both my mother and father, between the two, have a Master’s degree in criminal justice, and a Bachelor's degree in paramedic studies. Naturally

It makes me feel guilty when I have my bottle of water with me, even though I put it in the recycle bin at the end of the day, I now wonder about where it will end up. Does it go to another plastic product to be tossed aside, this indestructible piece of plastic? I am concerned as I watch the people of “convenience” walk by and I look at the products that we all carry to help us make our lives easier. I note the woman next to me has two of the “better water bottles”, one with a small round spring in it to help stir the liquid “meal on the go” that she has in that particular bottle. Another person walks by with a liquid breakfast in a Styrofoam cup, another non-biodegradable product. A couple of construction workers sit down across the room with their

After 180 years of service, one could assume Cheyney University has seen it all. Formerly known as the Institute for Colored Youth, they were founded in 1837. At that time it was illegal for slaves to be educated, some would even deem it as tip toeing on a dangerous line under those circumstances. To be found during that time period is a true testament to the school’s ability to defy odds. Once again they find themselves walking a fine line, as they are now struggling to keep their accreditation.

The Kilgore Board of Trustees at Kilgore College, according to the Kilgore College website, has specific powers and duties imposed by the state statutes including policy direction for the college. They also establish goals consistent with Kilgore Colleges’ role and mission, but overall they are to make wise decisions that will further benefit the facility they govern and the community they are in. And on Monday July 20, 2015 the board had practiced their powers in a public meeting, at the McLaurin Administration Building, on the Kilgore College campus. The meeting was primarily to discuss new executive orders regarding the Colleges’ budget. This included decisions over employment (employment cuts, retirement, and replacements), and facility

Michael Hiltzik’s first section of the article is especially important for individuals to know about. I agree 100% with his opinion on bottle water. There are many environmental dangers and unnecessary expenses for bottled water. Countless people don’t discard of their bottled waters in the recycling or trash bin. Eventually, these plastic dangers end up in the ocean and may put marine life in jeopardy.

Ryerson women’s basketball team beat Carleton last night in Ottawa at the Ontario University Athletics championships in a 77-76 win making the Rams’ female hoopsters the first university team to claim two provincial titles in a row. Go Rams!

Attending William Paterson University provided me with an insightful perspective on discovering my true values and interests through their various course options. When I first arrived at William Paterson, I felt confused on picking a major. I knew I wanted something health-related, but I found it difficult to figure out where I would fit best since there were so many career paths available. Eventually, I chose public health.

I firmly believe that education is at the base of success. I wanted to pursue a master 's degree in the nonprofit field because I wanted to fully grasp and understand the sector so that I could contribute to its success. As I began to research advanced degrees that revolved around the nonprofit sector I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Bay Path University had a nonprofit management and philanthropy program.

Americans buy at least nine billion of plastic water bottle every year; this translates to millions of dollars spent on a commodity that is readily available in their homes (Lewis, page 1). The only reason that can justify this senseless behaviour is that Americans have been duped by the assertions of advertisers and marketers. According to Gleick, a good advertiser has the ability to make us buy something we may not need. These corporations spend many funds to denigrate public water supplies while flaunting their products.

There are many options when it comes to choosing a college after high school, Yes it can be hard and confusing, but if we are well informed, it could be a piece of cake! I have visited and gathered information about Hamline university and century college this year.

Throughout the many years that the bottled water industry has been around, they have provided consumers with convenience.This conveniency, however, is being threatened by schools placing bans on them. This should not be the case as they induce a healthy lifestyle, create additional income, and can enforce the habit of recycling.

“One of the biggest challenges facing the bottled water industry is how to respond to the environmental claims levelled against it” (Grocer). Every time someone throws a bottle away, they have taken up more space in a landfill for the next four hundred fifty to one thousand years. Besides the long decomposition rate, water bottles are the cause of several more environmental issues. Overfilling landfills, health hazards caused by refilling, and the economic stresses due to the constant and inconvenient repurchasing are just a few of the negatives water bottles have on us. These plastic pollutants are doing more harm to both the environment and their users than good.

“We are a 24/7 on-the-go society who wants convenience in our beverage choices”. Kim E. Jeffery, CEO of Nestle Waters North company, made this comment in representation of the largest leader in the bottled water industry. It is no wonder how bottled water became so popular in our society. Healthier than soda, bottled water is conveniently stored in a lightweight, disposable, plastic bottle. Bottled water sales started when Perrier glass bottled water came overseas to America in the late 1970’s and in 1989, water was available in PET plastic bottles (Tapped). Now everywhere, bottled water can even be found in high school cafeterias while there are water fountains located in nearly every hall. However, there is an opposing view to the product with names such as Ice Mountain, Aquafina, Dasani, Sam’s Choice, and Acadia. Through research, bottled water is known to carry human pollutants, exceed other natural resource costs, and take part in a large portion of plastic waste, all in a sixteen ounce plastic bottle. Although bottled water is convenient in only a few cases, public education and legislation are necessary because of the human pollutants, costs, and waste.

If any given person were to walk into my dorm room they most likely wouldn't be too impressed with it. The one item that would stand out the most is water bottles. I have close to a case of empty water bottles just sitting around my desk, my nightstand, and piled up in the recycling bin. I refill each water bottle about 2 to 3 times after drinking one but now I’m all out and refuse to buy another case of water bottles. I never realized how harmful they are too the environment until this class. Never had I realized how much unnecessary waste I contribute into our environment and it’s time for me to start finding positive alternatives.

Some evidence was them saying “After the water’s consumption, those very same bottles often end up in overflowing landfills or swirling, oceanic garbage heaps”, and if you look it up on Google you will find out that it is true. That is another way to writers used pathos because they are once again putting the blame on the reader to make them feel bad in hopes they will try to do better. They are establishing creditability by stating actual facts instead of just saying random things just to get their point across. This was an economical issue that caused this entire essay, because they writers assumes if the students on the campus has less access to water bottles then there will be less pollution going around. They are not completely trying to take away water on campus. Some other options they gave students were more water fountains on campus since there will be less places to buy water. Also, there will be places where you can fill up your water container for
