Introduction Globalization is a phenomenon that has shaped and changed the world in so many different ways. It has made advancements in social progress including communication, trade, and travel, but while these promote a more interconnected world, this leads to a negative aspect of globalization – disease. With the increase in a globalized realm, the spread of disease is unavoidable and can cause drastic changes to the dynamics of numerous countries. This has been seen in history countless times

spreading and sporadic infections began to occur in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Outbreaks have recently spread to the Americas, the Caribbean and areas of the Pacific. The first major outbreak occurred in the Yap Islands located in Micronesia in 2007. During this outbreak more than 70 percent of the population became infected. Following the outbreak in the Yap Islands the virus began to surface in French Polynesia in 2013-2014. 1,2 In February 2014 cases of the

It has been widely acknowledged that an increase in anthropogenic activity will put an ever-increasing pressure on the global and regional resources. Particularly in the South Pacific, where the resources are limited compared to large continents. The delicate relationship between the ecological systems of the Pacific makes these resources often scarce that are getting depleted at a faster rate than it is being recovered by the natural systems. Logging is an example of such an activity, which has

global bleaching event “El Niño” was in 1998, it was a “huge underwater heatwave killed 16% of the corals on reefs around the world” . The second bleaching event was in 2010 and was called La Niña. This event affected especially areas near Palau and Micronesia in the Pacific. In October of 2015, NOAA announced the third global bleaching event in which has already become the longest event recorded, affecting coral reefs for consecutive years. Main reasons of coral bleaching: Change in ocean Temperature:

Policy is often considered in terms of a series of directives to be followed or instructions to be carried out; an authoritarian, top-down way of governing conduct; directed ‘at’ and ‘for’ people. But this ignores the importance of persuasion and consent in any successful policy initiative, at least within democratic societies. To be successful – that is, to be accepted and implemented – policy must also work ‘with’ people, appealing to the values, which they hold, and the expectations they have

living in Nigeria (4). Serologic evidence also found that the human ZIKV infection spread to other parts of Africa such as Egypt, Tanzania and Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand (5). In 2007, the Zika virus spread to Yap Island of Micronesia and also caused outbreaks in New Caledonia, Easter Island, French Polynesia in 2013 and 2014 (1,2). ZIKV was reported to cause a widespread epidemic in South and Central America in 2015 (2). With estimated ZIKV infection cases of up to 1.3 million

1. Provide some examples in business or daily life in which a controlled process is erroneously adjusted and an out-of-control process is ignored. What implications do these errors have? My example of a controlled process that is erroneously adjusted is the thermostat. My house is two-story. The A/C unit upstairs is set on heat at a temperature of 76 degrees and automatic adjustment. Today’s weather temperature was unusual 80 degrees. So, the heat unit didn’t come on. However, due to the temperature

Being obese is a tremendous issue in the United States . According to the book the “Obesity: Cultural and BioCultural Perspectives”by Alexandra A.Brewis, there is an assessment mentioned in the book that was made by the “World Health Organization”. The assessment mentions that “ one third of the people are now overweight or obese . Within two decades , if the current trend continue, the number will be more than two-thirds”.(Brewis 1) Obesity is classified by an individual's Body Mass Index (BMI)

Climate change is responsible for environmental changes in the world, such as rising ocean levels and increased global temperatures. Climate change is having more of an effect on the earth already than most people would believe. Looking at the animal populations on small islands reveals a decline in various species. In fact, due to human induced climate change a small mammal has gone extinct. What’s significant about this is that this is the first mammal to go extinct due to human induced climate
