Essays on Widening Gap

The Impact of Technology on Urban Life and Urbanization

Question One The argument that the Course Directors present, with regard to the five key points that are discussed in this paper, is that while technology has historically paved the way to the progress of communities through effective communication, it simultaneously produces a widening gap between those who have greater power and those who does not (York University, 2016). In Splintering Urbanism and the Future of Cities, the Course Directors state that the evolution of technology has led to global urbanization; this, in turn, has resulted in the splintering of the urban society. This weakens the poor and strengthens ...

Q1.) Culture takes time to change, as does the human geography it gives rise to and the ethnic implications diffused by the group which influences it. The significant economic, technological and demographic changes in the United States since the Second World War have led to the persistence of the many examples of new cultural landscapes there. These economic and technological developments resulted in large-scale immigrations which in turn fueled the growth of population and modification of the American society in crucial ways, producing varied needs and increased aspirations. During this post-war era, there was the emergence of a bigger ...

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi ...

Before the American Revolution, the most important controversy in Concord was the concern of the tax-supported church. The controversy also saw issues, whether the people in the faraway areas want to set up their own church or readmit to the Church of Concord. Dr. Joseph Lee was the focus of trouble. Another central figure was William Emerson, the new pastor of the church and the grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The government lowered the price of the commodities, tricking the colonists into accepting the tax. The community required a special force called Minutemen, who were the citizen soldiers in order ...

Income inequality is a measure of how income is divided among the members of various economic classes, in the state of California; this has been on the sharp increase. This has been established through the analysis of general income distribution in the state among the rich and the poor. This, when compared with the national and regional income presents the clearest picture of glaring income inequalities between the rich and the poor in California. The income gap between the poor and the rich and among the whites and the blacks has been increasing in California for the last two ...

The recent recession in the European Union has hit many economies and Ireland’s has been the worst hit. Recession spawned a chain of likely economic crisis that left many lives shattered. Most affected of all were the working classes. Jobs were lost, firms closed and many sat home without any income source. The young generation, under the age of 25, was badly hit by the recession as well. Sectors where young people were employed, like construction, retail and services dismissed thousands of individuals from their jobs with the recession’s approach. This coupled with the fact that there were ...

While several nations a faced with far reaching problems resulting from battling ethnicities, America is faced with the problem of racial discrimination. In a similar manner, there are classes in America with semantically the same effects to the effects of racial discrimination. The classes influence the way members of the society think and carry out their day to day activities even though there are several strategies that can be employed to dissolve the classes. Again, the American government maintains that there are supposedly NO caste systems and yet there are always so many differences in how people have opportunities and are ...

Understanding the Doctoral Research Process

- Introduction- Apart from finishing college and obtaining a degree, students are aiming for a much higher educational attainment by finishing graduate studies to further their expertise in a particular area of expertise. However, finishing a graduate course would require a comprehensive research that will prove the student’s established knowledge in the discipline (Blanton-Kent et al., 2010). Doctoral research is one way for graduate students to prove their specialization in the particular field of study. In lieu to that requirement, a research about student success and retention in both public and for-profit universities and colleges will be measured to identify which of the two ...

Executive Pay and Inequality

As the number of rich people in the United States becomes smaller; the amount of money they control keeps getting larger. Some people think that is a good sign. It shows that democracy in America is thriving: if you want to be very rich, the USA is the place to reach your dream. That is the opinion of free market advocates. On the other hand there are some people who are outraged and would tell you that the riches needed to be divided equally between each man, woman and child; only then would it be true that American democracy is ...
