rate in the world thus leading to environmental problems such as air and water pollution. An analysis of the relative consumption rate in the U.S indicates that the U.S population is associated with heavy levels of consumption that accelerate the rapid depletion of resources. The increasing levels of consumption can be attributed to

sometimes we are told there are endless resources. The population of the world is growing rapidly, so the question we must ask, are we going to run into a problem where there are too many people in this world and not enough resources to accompany this rapid growth in population? In the article “Tragedy of the Commons” written by Garrett Hardin, Hardin believes that the population problem cannot be solved in a technical way because the problem involves questions of human freedoms and rights, both of which

While researching on the topic of urbanization in India, I came across a plethora of scholarly articles that suggested issues with India’s limiting urbanization policies that jeopardize its potential for growth and employment. If India’s physical expansion is left unattended, this will deplete its available resources, and lead to economic, social, and environmental challenges (Hardoy, Diana, & Satterthwaite, 2001). Although India’s physical expansion has already led to many such challenges, the optimism

Experiment 9: Growth curve of Serratia marcescens Abstract Bacteria grows by binary fission. The aim of this experiment is to follow the growth of Serratia marcescens in nutrient broth at 37oCby recording the changes in turbidity (cloudiness) by measuring the absorbance of visible light (600 nm) and also to prove that there is an increase in the cell number and not just in mass during the growth. In the experiment we measure the full growth curve of Serratia marcescens by measuring the absorbance

systems of England and the United States in the early and mid 1900s, wealth is a likely result. This proved to be true in the decades leading up to the great depression as rapid economic growth occurred. This principle was also seen after the fall of the Soviet Union, once people could trade freely there was extreme economic growth. Another economic principle illustrated in the book is that “the consequences of our choices lie in the future”. One way this is shown is through population. Building upon

Every day countries around the world are faced with conflicts and problems due to undeveloped areas not having any companies to bring economic opportunities to the country. Having no economic or job openings can cause poverty. The Census Bureau reports poverty rates by work experience for people ages 18 to 64. In 2014, the overall poverty rate for people ages 18 to 64 was 14%. The poverty rates by work experience for that age group ranged from 3% to 34%. The development of countries relies heavily

Blue dyes in the EMB plate, the bile salts and crystal violet in the MacConkey plate encourage the growth of Gram-negative bacteria while preventing the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. The neutral red is used as a pH indicator, therefore if the bacteria is acidic and has a pH less than 6.8 the growth will turn pink; whereas, if the bacteria is neutral or basic and has a pH higher then 6.8 the growth will remain the same color, usually a cream color, or turn the same color as the media. The crystal

scientists believe that high-income nations present a much greater threat to the ecosystem because there are more people in these countries consuming goods at a faster rate than low-income countries. Ecosystems cannot support high rates of population growth combined with environmental damage. The carrying capacity of the earth’s ecosystems are being surpassed and the ecosystems of many nations are being ruined at a very fast pace. The rate at which country’s populations are growing, it will not be very

The Gilded Age was the time of rapid economic growth for the United States. The period where little corporations turned into a millionaire company. The time of one of the most dynamic, contentious, and volatile periods in American history happened. National wealth increased dramatically but their was a problem for the poor and the farmers of the U.S. People may say that the Gilded Age was the era of corruption, harsh labor and brutal industrial competition, but others think that the Gilded Age is

A nation's success and standard of living is determined by its economic growth, which is measured by percentage in real GDP. Capitalism is an economic system that yields strong incentives for rapid increases in output of commodities. The most advanced capitalist economies have been more successful in raising productivity, as a result of their low unemployment rates and ability to adjust to new and improving economies. Developed countries in general, contain a lot of natural resources, which can be
