Create a 5 pages page paper that discusses analysis of the problem of exhaustible resources. Our planet is a closed ecosystem of environmental resources and life in which the sustainability of any human activity is dependent upon the responsible exploitation of natural resources. In their research study entitled ‘The Limits to Growth – A Report to The Club of Rome’, Meadows et al. (1972) came to the conclusion that, “If the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years.”&nbsp.

Our environment consists of land, air, water and mineral resources on the one hand, and the vast variety of life forms that have evolved in this physical world over millions of years. Each of these living and non-living entities is our natural resources. Among all living things, human beings have the greatest ability to harness these natural resources to create a world of comfort and luxury and proceeded to do so. In the process, change has become the hallmark of human existence in the material world – a change that involves abandoning the old and embracing the new. Change is occurring due to man’s needs growing exponentially as a result of scientific progress and enterprise. Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed as postulated by Dalton, the human race is caught in the spiral of development that is using up the available but finite resources, and damaging the ecological balance by releasing pollutants and junk into the environment.

The industrial revolution of the 19th century, decolonization and democratization of the 20th century, and the revolutionary development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) since the 1980s have been the successive causes for the worldwide change in the demand-supply dynamics.&nbsp. Living standards in the developed nations of the west, Europe and Japan have improved significantly over the years, a fact that was being increased noted around the world.

I need some assistance with these assignment. the actual concepts portrayed by shakespeare Thank you in advance for the help! The main theme of the play was love. Love is portrayed in very many angles. The suffering and jubilations of the characters are caused by love. The varied manner in which love is portrayed makes the play suitable. There are elements of same-sex relationships. The love Celia portrays towards Rosalinda is more than friendship and indicates the diverse nature of love in the play. There is also an element of love at first sight. Orlando and Rosalinda represent the element of love at first sight. The two represent secrets within relationships in that Rosalinda is involved in a girl-girl relation without Orlando’s knowledge. The plays represent the hidden sides of love while at the same time acknowledge the love that exists within family members. The actors perform perfectly to represent the main theme of the play. The actors represent the downs and lows of love. The actors, however, fail to utilize emotions and gestures in their representation.

Emotions and gestures are important while representing the mood of the play. The court mood is mixed as Fernando is ejected from the court. the actors ought to have utilized gestures and facial expressions to represent the sad mood. The actors, however, use tonal variation to represent sad and happy moods. This may fail to represent their intended purpose. The audience may fail to identify the mood of the play. The uses of words are insufficient in representing a wider spectrum as far as the play’s mood is concern. Different actors fail to shore these qualities while playing their roles. However, the female actors tend to utilize both tonal variation and facial expressions to represent excitement and sad moods. Higher tones would mean anger and excitement, while low tone needs to represent sadness and disappointment. The diverse nature of the actors needs to be used to represent the intended purpose of the author.

The male actors performed averagely while representing&nbsp.Fernando and Orlando.

Write 5 pages with APA style on Homosexual Parenting. Some individuals in homosexual marriage unions occasionally opt for children’s adoption to supplement their unions with no regard for serious psychological harm the adopted children may later go through when old enough (Schumm and Walter 375). Notably, this document does not question an individual’s resolve and preferences on the choice of marriage. Neither does it intend to promote any form of discrimination against homosexual parents. it, however, points out some outstanding and crucial issues that for a long time has been mystified concerning homosexual parenting (Schumm and Walter 376).

A previous study conducted by a US research firm indicated that approximately 1 % of the world’s populace is in the infamous LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual) marriage unions. The same report indicated that among the LGBT unions, Gay marriages comprised the greatest percentage (Belcastro, Philip, Theresa, Thomas, Jimmie, and Richard 106). Furthermore, according to the latest statistics collected from the United States 2000 census results conducted by the US Department of National Survey it was reported that close to three million homosexual parents were interested in child adoption.

Similarly, another independent report suggested that approximately 70, 000 people who annually applied for full child adoption were either lesbians or gays (Belcastro, Philip, Theresa, Thomas, Jimmie, and Richard 108). The same report indicated that more than 17, 000 children adopted annually in California in the United States were under homosexual parenthood. Homosexual parenting in the United States is on a steady rise comprising approximately 9 % of the registered marriage unions (Belcastro, Philip, Theresa, Thomas, Jimmie, and Richard 109). Notably, most of these children adopted by homosexual couples are usually of younger age and are in most cases foreign-born (Belcastro, Philip, Theresa, Thomas, Jimmie, and Richard 109).

Thesis Statement Discussion

The ability to articulate and modestly raise a child doesn’t depend on the sexual orientation of the purported parents. however, the good fare of the adopted child should be the top priority.

Create a 5 pages page paper that discusses gifted education programs. Thus, it was believed that brains should be identified and promoted early. However, the impact of such a move has never been clear. Though studies have been conducted sporadically, none has been conclusive enough to say whether it is wise to continue with gifted education programs or not.

The first point that is put forward by people like Southern, Jones, and Fiscus (1989) is the socio-emotional consequences of such a separation from their mediocre counterparts. It is argued that when such students are separated, they are subjected to practices like grade skipping, gifted classes, and gifted schools as a way of acceleration. According to the writers, there are both isolation and development of self-misconception.

The most important social and personality issue that can arise out of such programs is elitism against the common American concept of egalitarianism. The students who just manage to enter the gifted category get access to special privileges and high esteem. This situation gives birth to the development of elitism in this group of elite students as they start believing that they are special categories of people who deserve special attention.

Admittedly, all these pains are worth taking if there is a significant improvement in the academic and social performance of the selected talents. A survey that was conducted recently (cited in Garfunkel & Mumford, 2011), revealed that American students stand 25th in mathematical ability out of the total 34 countries that are compared. Here, the serious question arises: is it worth spending this much money, time, and effort on something that apparently fails to make any considerable improvement in the students of both the gifted and the ‘cattle classes’?

There is a large number of studies that show that the effects of gifted education on cognitive performance, social performance, and socio-emotional characteristics are either marginal or negative. The literature review done by Hoogeveen looks into the various studies that deal with the social and emotional consequences of gifted education programs. Hoogeveen’s (2008) study adopted a method in which the effect of various gifted education programs is measured on a scale in which 0.80 indicates a large effect, 0.50 indicates medium effect, and 0.20 indicates an insignificant effect.

Provide a 5 pages analysis while answering the following question: Gay and Lesbian Representation in Media. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Media, especially television shows have always been used in shading light about sexual behavior and its trends, therefore. the discussion will reveal the reasons why there has been little representation of this main group and the current changes.

Knowledge, in accordance with the US beliefs, represents power. The media aims at promoting this belief. However, ignorance on the other hand is something everyone is encouraged to disassociate with. In relation to this, gay and lesbian orientation is considered ignorance about what society expects people of opposite genders. According to Netzley (p. 74), ignorance even if considered a powerful tool, can be used against such groups especially by media platforms in to oppress and completely deny them a voice to air their views. During the HIV/AIDS global outbreak in the 1980s, the media portrayed gay as the major cause of its spread. Actually, a large number of American television shows aimed at promoting a negative stigma among the society especially the male individuals who easily found themselves in such situations. Most documentation indicates that in the efforts to find a cure for AIDS, doctors in partnership with media platforms in the 80s and 90s always linked this deadly disease to this behavior and thus termed “gay disease.” For instance, in 1990, ABC was engaged in a tarsal when one of its episodes “Thirty Something” showed male characters in bed kissing. Most sponsors withdrew their support and media platforms refused to play the episodes (Netzley 68). In addition, most movies and television shows always portrayed homosexual characters as a problem by giving them protagonist roles that made them look like problems that required immediate solutions. These characters also escalated gender stereotypes in which gay males were termed effeminate and lesbians masculine. Even though the trend is changing, people still disassociate themselves from gay and lesbian acts. Today, only a handful of individuals have come out in public and confessed to being of this sexual orientation.
