Introduction

An ecosystem is defined as the interaction of the organism and other nonliving factors in a certain community. The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms, can be classified as the biotic component of the ecosystem, whereas the environmental conditions such as water amount, humidity, soil nourishment, temperature, and the like are termed as the abiotic factors. In an ecosystem, both the existing biotic and abiotic factors determine what kind of species live there. For example, turtles, which require a large amount of water to live in cannot possibly hope to survive in arid ...

Background

I volunteered to work with Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulfcoast. This organization was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, an early social innovator and Methodist minister. Helms used to collect clothing and household goods from affluent parts of the city, then proceeded to hire people who could mend the goods. After that, the goods were resold or given to individuals who repaired them. This system became successful and resulted in the Goodwill philosophy which stated that “a hand up, not a hand out”. Dr. Helm’s vision set the precedent for the $4 billion non-profit organization ...

One of the introductory visions in the Book of Revelation is written in chapters 4 and 5 that the Lord Almighty is the one seated on the heavenly throne.

The documentary outlays the incidences that have brought debate in Canada concerning the hunting of seals. Critically, the practice has been refuted by high profile individuals, animal activists and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Ideally, the controversial actions in that Troake family did seek a defense in trying to justify their actions. Arguably, the killing of seals is made differently. The misconception that they used guns is a total fallacy. Traoke stipulates that the act is time-honored and claims that it is taking an environmental responsibility. IFAW critical perception concerning the annual seal hunt is skeptical. Viewing the ...

Introduction

Environmental adaptation is essential to the survival of any animal. In fact, this attribute helps organisms obtain nutrients, build homes, withstand extreme weather conditions, attach mates and enhance their safety (Nelson et al. 2008). With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that polar and grizzly bears have different physical and behavioral characteristics due to environmental adaptation in spite of their species similarities. The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...

Introduction

Growth of the online market and developments in online platforms have given rise to new media marketing, which refers to the use of social media, mobile platforms, and search engines to reach out to customers (Herman, 2011).

Consumer privacy refers to the prerogative of consumers to be left alone or be free from unsolicited intrusion, consumer control over access to personal information they share online, and concealment of ...
