Many people know what wolves are and often assume they are fierce, carnivorous, beasts. Yes, they are carnivorous, but generally speaking, they are not savage beasts that kill everything in sight. They kill what they need for food to survive and often times are under fed, attacking when they feel threatened or their family is in danger.

Others are concerned that zoos serve not only for people's pleasure but for preserving and keeping populations that otherwise would go extinct. There are sufficient arguments for both points of view, expressed in various articles that are dedicated to the significant topic. “Do elephants belong in zoos?” by Jeffrey P. Cohn and “Eight reasons why zoos are good for conservation” by James Borrell are the examples of such articles. The opinions expressed there are mostly similar for they state

Elijah Anderson is an author of the text that was read of Urban Experience; it’s titled as The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life. As I read through the text, it made me wondered if places that I’ve been to is considered as part of cosmopolitanism or ethnocentrism.

It seems that in order to have the particular location to embrace the cosmopolitan

Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle was written during the Progressive Era, a time of economic and social problems due to the rapid industrialization that occurred in America during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Canada is an international leader in forest management in my opinion based on several fact and statistics. We live in a world today where we need to realize and understand the importance towards sustainability. Sustainability holds powerful meaning when introduced into the term ecological footprint, Canada does an exceptional job at managing our forestry and sustaining in proper means. Canada’s commitment to monitoring has pulled us aside from the rest of the world. Our forest laws and harvest regulations go hand in hand with each other, this affects our economy. Canada is facing the problem the world knew about for years, climate change, now Canada must come up with a plan for the future in order to factor in the missing variable of a hotter

The rapid destruction of woodlands or removal of trees from forests is known as deforestation. Every year, vast areas of forests are cleared to make way for agriculture and development.

Deforestation is defined as the permanent destruction of forests in order to make land available for other uses. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 18 million acres of forest are lost each year. This equals to approximately 36 football fields of forest being cleared each minute. Though deforestation occurs all over the world, it’s the tropical forests which are being particularly targeted. Due to this countries such as Indonesia, Brazil, the Democratic republic of Congo and Thailand have a very
