The “Green” Problem of Superfund (CERCLA)

The “green” problem did not start as a disaster. However, it spiraled into one of the worst environmental disasters in the history of the US (Hatfield, 2012). It all began with the Love Canal in 1880s. Love Canal was excavated by W.T. Love in 1890s and it was part of the hydroelectric power project in Niagara Falls, New York. The project was never implemented and Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation used it as a landfill between 1942 and 1952.

Fixing any kind of environmental damage is a complex, expensive and time-consuming problem. Whether it’s a natural disaster like a hurricane or a typhoon, or an environmental disaster caused by humans like global climate change or the BP oil spill, there are many different questions that must be asked.

One of the main reasons a doctor is often blamed for is medical malpractice. Medical malpractice can be defined as any act or omission on behalf of a physician while treating a patient that has led to the injury of the patient. Medical malpractice is usually deviant from the norms of practice that are widely accepted by the medical community. Once a patient can establish that medical negligence had led to injury, the court calculates the compensation that the doctor should pay, based on the economic and noneconomic losses of the patient. Economic losses include the income the patient has lost due to a ...

Argumentative Essay

Military innovation contributes to the success of states in war. However, it has been shown in the literature that the U.S. and Britain failed to significantly innovate or revolutionize their military in the interwar period. This paper argues that this failure is primarily rooted in two major factors: anti-militarism attitudes, and a military culture that disregards the usefulness of past military experiences to future wars. During the interwar period, few refuted the importance of mechanized, powered means of transportation and tanks. The debate revolved around whether this technology could be integrated into traditional processes or strategies or whether more ...

Placing a cap on “Pain and Suffering” in tort actions is essential; this is because there are many cases that arise from tort actions. Tort action is in itself a civil action or injury that does not arise from a contract. The law for such action provides for some outline of money damages. The actions arise from accidental laws like personal injury and negligence. This calls for a cap on the tort actions regarding pain and suffering. Reforms are needed, for proposals and enactment, to have a clear outset of the nature of tort actions.

The laws that are adopted and exist for ...

Andrea Kennedy Yates married and mother to five children-Noah, John, Paul, Luke, and Mary-was found guilty of killing all five of her children by drowning the children in the bathtub in their home.

This belief was anchored on the radical teachings of Michael Woroniecki, who taught her that “bad mothers will go to hell and the children these will have will also go to hell.”
In addition, Yates ...

Every day, many employees are reporting incidences of workplace violence and most of these incidences are related to domestic violence. Dometic violence not only poses a threat ...

Abstract

The subject of ‘self-harming behavior’ has been widely studied by Tantam and Whittaker in Bhugra & Munro (1997) ed. ‘Troublesome Disguises: Under-diagnosed.’ In their review of literature, Tantam and Whittaker observed that the tendency to inflict self-harm began at an early age and in some cases as early as childhood. Though this sounds quite surprising, it can be observed that children begin to ‘try’ new things like drinking, smoking and using marijuana at school and with friends at social meetings and parties. Initially, they take it for fun and later, because of its constant use, they fall prey to its ...
