Camosun Bog Case Study

875 Words4 Pages

The Camosun Bog is currently an environmental wetland that produces berries and food for plants and animals around the area. The government is currently thinking of taking over the bog to create houses for the problem that is going on in Vancouver which is the growing population with not enough housing. Since there is not enough housing, this results to making the houses more expensive which struck up the idea to the program for the low income earners in Vancouver.

Developing the Camosun Bog would impact negatively because the bog will die eventually and instead we should create housing on that land for the governments program for the people earning low income in their jobs. The bog is slowly dying because of the change of climate around us. …show more content…

The bog provides all these animals with them. It is extremely important to keep the bog because it provides all the needs of the animals. It has swamps which supply the animals with water. The bog has many berries for the animals and people visiting and there is also a huge forest; “Pacific Spirit Trail” where animals can live.

As you can see, there are also many important reasons why the bog should not be pampered with for housing. The bog provides oxygen for us to breath and it gives the animals around the area the perfect place to eat and drink.

My opinion about the bog is however negative because we already have enough plants around the area as there are trees at almost street and forests for animals to go to. The rising problem with housing is definitely the most important problem because there will be many homeless people if we do not notice the problems that are happening around Vancouver. Homeless people may develop diseases because they don’t even have a suitable place to live and when they develop diseases, it could spread. These are just some predictions of what would happen if the program the government created is not taken in account and

    The total annual cost of food stamp program $69,800,000,000. Now, these social welfare programs are not a total complete failure they indeed do play a significant role in todays economy. If you were to eliminate these programs a countries economy would suffer because what taxpayers don't take into consideration is that if you have these high unemployment rate and homeless people and not providing them with some sort of assistance, there is going to have less consumer, and if there is less consumer, companies wont be making enough money to provide jobs, and if there is no workers companies wont be producing. So eventually the unemployment rate will increase even higher and economy will drop immensely. The social welfare programs help stabilize the government and prevent economical problems like the “great depression.”

  • Without Fixing A Thing: Article Analysis

    In the editorial “Ending DACA Would Upend the Dreams of a Generation of Immigrants Without Fixing a Thing”, recently published by the Los Angeles Times, the writers address the current issues surrounding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in response to a public statement by the White House suggesting that the President is expected to annul DACA in as quickly as a week. In this article, the editors first explain what DACA is and what it accomplishes. DACA is a program instituted by the order of previous United States President Barrack Obama which is “designed to give stability to people whose undocumented status is no fault of their own” (“Ending” 1). Primarily intended for people who were minors brought illegally over the United States boarder by their parents, this federal policy provides a renewable two-year work visa and, consequently, immunity to deportation during that time for over 750,000 previously undocumented illegal immigrants.

  • Sentencing Reform Research Paper

    For example in the story in source two it stated "while incarceration renders many unable to find gainful employment upon release, consigning them to underground economics where disputes are resolved by violence. This shows that when people get out of jail, they are unable to get a job so they go back to jail. The government should do a sentencing reform to help people get jobs who have been in jail. This will decrease the jail population. Another example that is stated in the text in source two is "we should heed the call of black lives matter and other voices for change that connect criminal law reform to broader social and fiscal policy reforms to reforms that would reduce violence by revitalizing our communities, providing employment to disaffected youth, funding drug treatment and quality health care, investing in education and shelter fit for human beings, and ending our shameful practices of mass incarceration".
