In fact, some sections of the work submitted almost look like a summary or a review of the work instead of ...

Abstract

Maintaining a highly effective waste management system is an important part of being a clean and green city. While this may not be the top priority for some countries, especially the developing ones—because keeping a clean and green city can be costly; there are countries that are making long term investments for a more effective waste management system in the future. This can be evidenced by the fact that even countries like Qatar and the city of Dubai are finding it hard to find the political and economic will to develop and enforce environmental law and regulations.

Society has evolved in so many ways after American slavery. Although isolated cases of racism still prevail in some places, African Americans are now enjoying the same rights and privileges that everyone else from different races have. African Americans, even women, now hold important positions in companies and government organizations. But perhaps the ultimate proof of recognition and acceptance that they were once completely stripped of is having an African American as President of the strongest nation in the world. However, despite the liberty and the success they were able to achieve in the society, female African Americans still ...

Hodkinson and Macleod argue that there are three important methods of research learning. These two authors divide research learning into four categories. These categories include the use of life history, the conduction of panel surveys, cross-sectional surveys, and the use of the mini-ethnography method. Both Hodkinson and Macleod agree that the learning processes involved in these research methodologies are different. For instance, history requires the theoretical construction of paradigms to shape up the research process. Surveys require the acquisition of ideas and creating a hypothesis to ascertain its correctness. Mini-ethnographies to a large extent require the active participation of the research ...
