The 21st century has begun with one of the most challenge security threats to the United States of America have had to face. The perils of climate change have the ability to impact the national interest concerning power, prosperity and peace. The continued challenges around the world, and domestically, it is critical the US implements a comprehensive grand strategy. Cooperative security gives the US the best possibility to achieve the goals that will lessen the effects and place the US ahead of the

Have we altered this planet for good? This question has stirred up a recent debate among environmental scientists and geologists regarding what our current time period should be called. The International Union of Geological Sciences claims that we are currently living in the Holocene epoch, which initiated following the Earth’s last ice age. According to some scientists, that statement is obsolete. These other experts claim that Earth is a human dominated planet and that our actions rival global

A 62-year-old white male presented to the hospital for a scheduled ventriculoperitoneal shunt removal. The patient had developed cysts in the brain seventeen years ago in 1998 leading to increased intracranial pressures from accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. After discovering the brain cysts, the patient underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. Two years after the shunt was placed, the patient underwent another procedure for shunt revisions due to complications with infection. Now

Politics and the economy are usually the main reasons behind our thoughts about environmental issues and destruction, likewise, we tend to think that implementing laws and rules are the only way to fix those issues. However, as Joseph Wood Krutch, an American writer and an environmentalist who was awarded the National Book Award for his nature books on the American Southwest, mentioned is his book: “If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy

Global environmental problems have taken a turn for the worst in recent years. For water pollution, carbon emissions, and hurricanes have been at their highest peak in 2017. These issues have only begun to get worse due to power plants, burning of fossil fuels, and several other environmentally hazardous factories. In just 2017, six major hurricanes have occurred due to a combination of climate change, warming of the oceans, air and water pollution, overpopulation, and several other environmental

This paper has demonstrated and examines how series of social and political procedure affects resilience at various spatial scales. Resilience is defined as the ability of individuals or communities to withstand and rebound from sudden natural disaster [earthquake, flood or hurricane] that accounts for the loss of life and properties. However, the definition of resilience is broad as resilience thinkers [Charles Holling and Neil Adger] have argued differently. For example, Holling defines resilience

1. What is this report about? The IPCC Summary for Policymakers 2014 assesses the impacts of climate change worldwide. The IPCC Summary for Policymakers provides policy makers an overview of what needs to be reviewed, further aiding them in creating policies to better manage and reduce the impact of climate change. The report provides prospective related to how changes through adaptation and mitigation can benefit the impact on climate change. Furthermore the report evaluates what needs to change

1) Communication skills throughout the simulation were advantageous. This included communication with other participants, other medical staff such as Dr. Black and communication with the patient. Specifically, when communicting with the patient, if this communication is poor it can increase the patients feelings of stress and fear, thus overall leading to increased anxiety and a loss of confidence in the medical team (Razera & Braga, 2011, p. 635). This leads the to mistrust of the medical staff

I have chosen to do case study #1 about Coronary Artery Disease. In this case study, Eric is a 47-year-old male who has just been diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease. He is a construction worker and spends a great deal of time away from his wife and three children. Eric smokes approximately 1 1⁄2 packs of cigarettes a day and enjoys drinking a 6-pack after a long day at work. In Eric’s case, smoking clearly causes CAD and he smokes quite a bit. Also, high blood pressure can cause CAD and if he

Rough Draft Ideas Through the last decades, climate change has sparked up a controversial issue not only in the US but around the world. We have been told time and time again, what we, as people, are currently doing to our planet has been demonstrated scientifically to be ruining our planet. However, beyond the facts, and past the statistics, there’s something that gives these scientific demonstrations meaning. This happens to be the people of the world that these numbers fall behind. How do we
