On the other hand, many Alaskan natives have deep anger toward the whites. The civil rights leaders are attempting to improve the situation in Alaska, but it will take time. In 2001, three white teenagers driving around Anchorage shot frozen paintballs at Alaska Natives. The incident was another indication of racial intolerance toward Alaska's first people. Many Alaska Natives and other minorities feel that the subject of discrimination has been studied time and time again and findings and recommendations have been reported on repeatedly and forgotten. The impact of the urban/rural divide on the provision of governmental funding and services, unequal protection by law enforcement, lack of employment opportunities, and disparities in educational achievement are complaints that have been and continue to be heard. Having meetings to discuss this issue and not following up are a double-edged sword. Not only do people get upset that nothing is done, but…...

Alaska border dispute, there are numerous views about the incident and the way that it was settled. To fully understand what happened there will be a focus on: what has been said about the topic in general, the lines of debate, the viewpoints of the different authors, the interpretive frameworks, the status of the conversation, the opinions that are supported by sources, the beliefs from each side, what they are trying to achieve and their long-term objectives. Together, these different elements will put the events of the border dispute into perspective.

The main values that are apparent in this article are those of political awareness and inclusion, and the importance not only of political understanding but also of action. The author does not raise a political call to arms by any stretch of the imagination, but his explanation of the daily political machinations we all experience, as well as the larger ramifications of political action in the case of Alaska, suggests that all social activity is inherently political, and thus that an understanding of this fact can be used to direct action in a way that one favors in a grander political sense. This can be a very empowering view for social workers both to obtain themselves and to share with clients, in dealing with personal and individual life issues as well as with larger political structure. understanding the ability to influence and the nature of power in a given society…...

King Crab Fishing in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands
Though surrounded by controversy, the crab industry in Alaska is one of the most paying jobs but also most dangerous one. The king crabs are on high demand because of their succulent meat. The limited population of the king crabs means that the season for catching the crabs is short and is under high regulation. Crab industry is increasingly becoming popular due to the growing demand worldwide for the crabs. It requires a lot of physical stamina, commitment and skills. Though Alaska has a long history of crab fishing, commercial interest in crab fishing emerged in 1950s.The main species of crab are the king crab, tanner, snow and Dungeness. This paper looks at the classification of crabs; focus will however be on the king crab. The paper will also look at the process of king crab fishing in Alaska and the equipment…...

This will make the living environment of the child unsafe (King).
The child's preference for a particular parent or another person will be heard by Alaskan courts in granting custody (King, 2012). It is usually the parents with whom the child has been more comfortable with, and often he or she is the primary caregiver during the marriage. Some children prefer to stay with the parent who lives near their school or activities. This enhances the child's stability. Other considerations are the child's show of affection to one or both parents and the affection he receives from either or both (King).

Judges investigate and weigh to determine the more suitable parent or the one more likely to win during the hearing. The parent who wins is the one who encourages the child to form a relationship with the non-custodial parent. The parent who is granted sole custody must make sure the…...

In this regard, Dunn notes that, "These include soil and water contamination from spills; alteration of vegetation and drainage from roads; and the disturbance of subsistence hunting opportunities for muskoxen, polar bears, caribou, and other wildlife. Nor do these new technologies mitigate the atmospheric effects of local haze, acid rain, and global warming" (2). Critics of further exploitation of the Refuge and wilderness maintain that viable alternatives to these resources already exist, and more fuel-efficient vehicles would eliminate the need for additional development of Alaska's pristine environment altogether (Dunn 2).
Proponents suggest that the critics are misplaced in their assumptions about further exploitation, though. According to Lieberman (2005), the ANR is ripe for plundering and is unworthy of further federal protections: "There are plenty of truly pristine places in Alaska worth preserving, but ANR's coastal plain isn't one of them. As it is, Alaska has 141 million acres of protected…...

Manual for State of Alaska First esponders
Introduction to the Critical Incident Manual

This critical incident manual contains information that will be valuable for all emergency or public service agencies in State of Alaska, such as police, fire, emergency medical teams, and others tasked with first response to natural and manmade disasters. The manual contains the relevant components of operations, planning, administration, and logistics with a view to providing first respondents with the general information they need for rapid activation and deployment.

The Importance of Contingency Planning

Every disaster is unique, of course, but there are some steps emergency first responders can take to ensure their own safety while maximizing the effectiveness of their response. In this regard, Katoch (2006) emphasizes that, "Although disaster response is inherently chaotic, tried and tested international tools and procedures do exist to assist a disaster-affected government and its people to handle the situation" (p. 153). Because of…...

Most of the growth is expected to be absorbed by the valley along the Chugiak-Eagle River. This is considered desirable and is being implemented by the City. The main factors affecting growth are jobs and housing (nchorage 51).
The population depends upon jobs available. For instance, there was a huge boom when the pipeline from the North Slope was being built, then the work ended and the population decreased dramatically. Population mobility is enormous. nchorage's average growth rate has exceeded most metropolitan areas in the rest of the United States (Chamber 1)

Statistics from the 2000 census show 94% of the population is made up of whites, while only 7.28% are merican Indian and Native laskans (this is the same percentage of the population living below the poverty line here.) This indicates a huge influx of non-natives have come to populate the city. nchorage, the gateway to laska, is called home…...

And so, as a solution, aquaculture farms are beginning to be created near Anchorage, raising cod, shrimp, and other fishes. This rising industry will attract newcomers to the area, which takes a certain hearty type because of the long cold winters. The labor force averaged 158,071 workers in 2006 (www.labor.state.ak.us).Alaska ranks #3 in oil production in the U.S., #1 in fisheries, and #1 in ports in National Marine Fisheries. Also, tourism is a big industry in Anchorage, and indeed 10% of the jobs are in leisure and hospitality sectors.
Anchorage history: it was first inhabited by humans in 5,000 B.C.; a "wave" of humans arrived around 3,000; then another "wave" arrived in 2,000 B.C., and Eskimo peoples and Dena'ina peoples made their home there before Europeans arrived in 1778 (www.ci.anchorage.ak.us).

PSYCHOLOGY Psychology: Unique Historical Experiences of Native Americans and Alaska NativesThe history of Native Americans is interesting since they were used to the barter trade system and had strong cultural traditions. They had a solid religious inclination, and their language had a different dialect from modern Europe\\\'s. The communication after their relocation was mostly political, intended for business, and sometimes spiritual. The smallpox diseases and relations between the local and newly established European colonies were full of friction and had to be dealt with carefully. However, the contributions Native Americans have made with their incoming are still evident in modern times. For instance, language, art, cuisine, and even the governing style have created a long-lasting imprint on English culture. Initially, the European and English customs were alien to Native Americans; with time, development kept on taking place with the evolution of language and mannerisms were amalgamated. It should be noted…...

technology is always challenging. Although the use of technology by social workers is not a new phenomenon, it is controversial. For a discipline traditionally tied to face-to-face interaction, many concerns about moving to technology-based practices have been raised. This paper will examine how social work informatics can be applied to child protection in Alaska and suggest a research project to examine its utility, particularly as it relates to the phenomenon of depersonalization. It can be hypothesized that the increasing use of informatics though useful drives a wedge between the social worker and the recipient.
Advocates for the use of technology identify increased opportunity and access to social work services, lower costs, and improved coordination of services, and privacy for stigmatized individuals as benefits of the tools (Chenoweth & Stehlik, 2002). Critics, on the other hand, point to the technological difficulties that impede interaction. They cite inequalities in access to resources,…...

Against Drilling for Oil in Alaska
The subject of oil drilling in Alaska has been controversial. With declining oil reserves attention of society, and the oil companies, to identify potential new oil reserves. Although oil drilling in Alaska currently only makes up about 7% of U.S. oil supplies, surveys have indicated there could be sizable reserves within Arctic National Wildlife efuge (ANW) (Bourne, 2015). There have been articles published which support the idea of exploring and granting drilling licenses, but there are also dissenting articles which argue against the idea. Interestingly, an article that appears to support the drilling is presented by Bourne, (2015), published in National Geographic, which presents a number of arguments in favor of drilling. Conversely, an article that supports a ban on drilling in thru ANW is published by Jans (2015) in USA Today. Each article will be reviewed and the arguments assessed.

The workforce should be clear about the implementation of technologies for protecting natural resources, through formulating strategies.
atification of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 1984 Protocols

Domestic legislation on compensation and liability is needed to implement two IMO protocols related to compensation and liability. The United States should ratify the 1984 Protocols to the 1969 Civil Liability and the 1971 Fund Conventions. Expeditious ratification is essential to ensure international agreement on responsibilities associated with oil spills around the world' (A eport to the President: Executive Summary).

Introduction of Safeguards

It is imperative to establish such environmental safeguards so as to minimize the possibility of oil spillage, by improving transportation, production, storing facilities.

The key ethical issues of the case are pretty clear, did the captain knowingly endanger the environment by continuing to retain his position and navigate tankers through the area and did the company know that such was the case.

Enhanced Accessibility for Remote and Underserved Populations through Telemedicine Platforms

Introduction
Healthcare access remains a significant challenge for remote and underserved populations, who often face barriers such as geographic isolation, transportation difficulties, and limited healthcare providers. Telemedicine platforms, which enable remote medical consultations and care delivery, offer a promising solution to bridge these gaps and improve access to essential healthcare services.

Overcoming Geographic Barriers
For individuals living in remote areas or with restricted mobility, traveling to healthcare facilities can be a major obstacle. Telemedicine platforms eliminate this barrier by allowing patients to receive medical consultations and care from their own homes or nearby community....
