(Pate 2004) Such projects do not only improve the quality of life of residents, they also generate jobs in urban but not rural areas, and better sanitation encourages more people to live in the cities and flee the countryside, causing a population imbalance common in Asia. The massive road and telecommunications systems that have been constructed in the capital have not made their way to country, which is shocking and inexcusable, given the smaller size of Thailand, as opposed to China, another nation afflicted by a similar imbalance of regional resources. (Asia Hub, 2004) of course, it has been alleged that given the greater education of the population and potential for urban expansion, this is out of necessity for the commercial interests currently concentrated in the capital. But this, with no pun intended, and no mean to raise the sensitive subject of the 'bird flu' raises the old 'chicken and egg question' -- are the urban sectors more educated and more profitable by nature, or because of greater government engagement with such sectors, financially, despite the investment of the rural population, agriculturally, in...
Environment The humanity has experienced an unprecedented level of scientific and technological progress in the last two hundred years. The progress, however, has been achieved with a heavy price. Human actions have significantly damaged the natural environment, leading to numerous problems such as pollution, climate change, diseases, and much more.

The Dome of the Rock is basically a Byzantine building [with] classical columns, topped by arches in alternating black and white marble, the dome, and the gold and semi-precious mosaics that decorate the walls all speak of Byzantine heritage" (p. 119). Some scholars, though, have argued
Environments The real world companies that are being studied are Starbucks, Apple and FedEx. These three companies face different external environmental challenges and have focused on shifting their internal environments in order to better compete in their external environments. The PEST analysis will be used as the analytical framework (QuickMBA, 2012). Starbucks operates in the quick service restaurant industry, and is one of the top brands in that business (QSR Magazine, 2011).
Environment and Delinquency Over the last several years, the issue of juvenile crime and its impact on the criminal justice system has been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because there are debates about what to do with these types of offenders and the kind of approach that should be utilized with them. These differences have resulted in considerable amounts of volatility in juvenile delinquency rates. Evidence of this can
Environment from a Christian Perspective Using Toulmin's Argument Model, this paper will explore the way in which Christians should act in response to the environmental challenges facing the planet.
