Although not a scholarly source or a primary source, this article in the Washington Post directly addresses the core political concerns related to the proposed Dakota Access pipeline. The article includes a map showing what lands the pipeline would traverse, and the author addresses the land use and land access concerns by Native American stakeholders. Because it talks about the core political, social, and economic issues, this article will be used as a current events resource when developing my argument related to energy pipelines and globalization.

This is a scholarly article that places energy pipelines into a global economic context. My research will show how energy pipelines can be viewed and analyzed as both a sociological issue and a sociological problem, because they raise key concerns linked to power, human rights, politics, and economics. While I may focus on the Dakota Access and other North American pipelines, it is crucial to show how many of the most important energy pipelines do traverse international borders and how these transportation networks raise important concerns related to national security but also to the politics and economics of globalization. Pipelines are practically a symbol of globalization and the interdependence between nations, but energy transport can also draw attention to imbalances of wealth and . This vast project presents serious infrastructure, safety, and financial concerns, and also raises questions about the environmental and social impact of such a long pipeline. This scholarly article draws on Pew Research Center surveys about American attitudes towards the Keystone XL proposed project. Questions are related to general support or lack thereof, role of political affiliations and related political issues on support for the pipeline project. The link between political ideology and attitudes towards energy pipelines is the main focus of this research, which is unique in that regard.

This is a scholarly analysis of fracking that, which slightly off topic, adds nuance to my discussion on the role that energy pipelines play in the globalization debate, and how energy pipelines raise important questions related to environmental and social justice. The article is about fracking in North Dakota, part of an overall energy portfolio. It also approaches the energy and environmental issues from an anthropological perspective, which is why this article helps place my research into a broader context.

This is a primary source document, a congressional report about energy pipelines in Central Asia and their impact on American foreign policy. The paper provides historical background on the issue and on the geographic area in general, as well as discussing the political realities in Central Asia post-9/11. Because the report is about more than just…
Energy Sources: Energy Source Fuel (Coal)/Uranium Needed (tons) CO2 Emissions Sulfur Dioxide and Other Emissions (tons) Radioactivity mSv (millisievert) Solid Waste (tons) Accidents Coal Increased global warming and health effects. Nuclear Explosions Coal power plants and nuclear power plants are currently the two basic sources of electricity generation across the globe. The purpose of this lab animation and report is to evaluate which of these sources of energy is better for human sustainability. The determination of the more efficient of these
This is rooted in his Christianity. The book provides important insight into Carter's personal understanding of his Southern Baptist religion, and its positive role in making the world a better place and making him a better man and advocate for social justice. Jimmy, Carter, Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, (New York: Simon & (Schuster, 2006) states that America is in crisis, not simply in an immediate political crisis regarding
Most fungi can also reproduce through sexual reproduction both with the same organism mixing gametes and with reproduction between two separate organisms. The cells of many fungi are primarily copies of each other, without differentiation of organs (except in the fruiting sections of the organism, such as the mushrooms and molds typically visible and known to humans). 6) Fungi are considered a separate kingdom for several reasons. They are different from
Through research on the risks that come with uranium and coal for energy plants, there can be determination of which among the two is better for human sustainability. Green house gases Electricity plants that use coal for electricity production release large amounts of greenhouse gases and other pollutants that are harmful to the environment, bearing that coal is packed with high levels of hydrocarbons. Among these gases is sulfur dioxide that
Nuclear energy possesses perhaps the largest potential for growth over the next few decades. The reason for this is the simple fact that it creates a relatively small amount of environmental pollution and can be adapted for use in nearly any part of the world. It certainly poses some security risks if it this technology is misused or mishandled, but the benefits certainly outweigh the costs. This type of energy
Health Fitness Human Performance One of the most important parts of an athlete's training regime is nutrition because of its role in human performance. Athletes need to focus on nutrition because the failure to ingest adequate calories can contribute to a lack of vital macro and micro nutrients. Moreover, nutrition is a crucial element in any athlete's training regime given the influences of food on a person's physical mankind. Throughout history,
