The influx of drug-related criminals is the main cause of overcrowding in most correctional institutions across in the United States and specifically Texas. Offenders' numbers related to other crimes such as homicide, robbery, and burglary have remained steady over the number of years, but drug-related offenders are increasing leading to a high number of them behind bars in prisons across Texas.

The aspect of a commodity having a value has facilitated the existence of trade all over the world through centuries. Since different commodities prosper in distinct locations globally, humanity embraced trade seeking to distribute scarce products in line with prevailing demand (Oni 2). The ...

Upwelling is an oceanic process whereby cold, nutrient rich deep water is brought to the surface by various oceanographic or geographic mechanisms, over a period of time. One driver of upwelling are the winds blowing across the ocean’s surface, parallel to the coast and displace the warmer, nutrient poor surface waters, allowing the colder, deeper water to rise to the surface, carrying nutrients with it. The deeper ocean water is nutrient rich due to the decomposition of marine animals which have sunk to the deeper ocean waters. Upwelling is an extremely dynamic process ,influenced by factors such as ...

- An ancient language that means “sea gulls” which also translates into “the ends of the earth”; - The Spaniard Diego de Almagro who called the area the valley of “Chile” because of the shape of the country on the map, which is a chili. Chile is a long, narrow strip of land that is bound by the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains on the west and east, Peru and Bolivia and Argentina on the ...

Of the three articles assigned this week the most interesting was “to be Quechua the symbolism of coca chewing in highland Peru” by Catherine J. Allen. The author explains the coca leaf chewing rituals of the Quechua people. The coca plant is the natural source of cocaine, a drug known all over the world for its intoxicating effects. The world has therefore resented the Quechua way of harvesting and consuming coca leaves. However, it has been more than mere consumption of an intoxicating substance for the Quechua; it is a way of life they have lived ever since the beginning ...

1. Liberalism and Feminist theorist 

Central to the theory and practice of Liberalism is the freedom of individuals to make choices that will result to social outcomes. This particular school of thought believes that “the purpose of society is the advance of freedom, equality, and human happiness” (Auster, 2007, LA reply section). It is important to note though that when one person chooses not to respect the freedom and rights of other people, this violates the concept and therefore could not be considered under Liberalism. The various forms of liberalism: economic, social and political, adopt the central tenet, albeit in different contexts.

The case of Peruvian asparagus unearths a grave ethical dilemma relating the trade-off between human interests and environmental concerns. Overtly, asparagus exports have enabled Peru's growth economically and socially. Unemployment is substantially reduced; children are better nourished, and the situation of women is ameliorated. However, asparagus cultivation has deteriorated the water table to a great extent. As the place is nearly a desert, intensive asparagus growth has dried up natural aquifer thereby causing pressure on the land. It has made the irrigation costlier directly causing a burden on small-scale farmers also. Progressive ethics explicitly states that social development and economic progress should ...

The abuse of drugs is on the increase in most countries in the world with the antidrug campaigns bearing no fruits in most cases.

National Economic Growth and Unemployment

Nations have become more convinced that being able to follow the trend that globalization offers marks their capacity to become successful especially in the process of engaging in the overall principles of global development. Notably though, it could be realized that along with such desire to develop and incur aspects of progress in a national level, nations also have to face the fact that it is because of this particular ...

A nation’s environmental connections and geographical location affects so much of its points of development. Relatively, for a nation like Columbia, such condition of developmental chaos has been evident especially in the manner by which the nation tries to survive its battle against drug production and distribution in the country. When a country is surrounded by various countries and when some cities are near each other, will they have similar culture and traditions? Also, will they have some illegal issue when they have various borders? I hypothesized that the cities near each other by the border lane would have similar ...
