Nile River In Africa

The Nile river originates in from lakes in Ethiopia and Kenya and ends in the Mediterranean Sea after flowing through Egypt. I think the Nile River shaped the Egyptians because, well there are many reasons.

Ancient Egypt has had many great discoveries and natural resources from their land that have really changed their society. One of the most important resources to them was the Nile river Valley. It has been said that without the Nile river Egyptian Civilization would not have been possible (Life along the Nile).

So plentiful, in fact, that almost every single person in the country takes it for granted. On average, the U.S uses 15-30 gallons of water every time a shower is taken, 35-50 gallons every time a bath is taken, 4-7 gallons every time a toilet is flushed, and 1 gallon every time someone brushes their teeth. (U.S Environmental Protection Agency 2). These statistics are not only embarrassing but outrageous when compared to the amount of children who die every day because a lack of clean water. In the United States, water costs 2 cents per gallon on average and is readily available and inexpensive throughout the entire country in seconds or minutes primarily by tap, bottles, or wells. (U.S Environmental Protection Agency 3) Meanwhile in other countries around the world, wars have been fought over water. For example in Sudan, there was a conflict over water in the Darfur region which left 300,000 people dead and over 2.7 million people displaced all because of a desperate need for water. For the Haitian people, clean water can determine whether someone lives or dies through the next week. Water that is unclean is the main cause of illness in this impoverished country and many of those who get sick die because people cannot afford medical treatment or because it is simply not available to them. In Somalia, girls make multiple 2-3 hour walks a day to fetch water for their families, many sacrificing schooling for access to water (U.S Environmental Protection Agency 3). Water is essential for our lives and for millions of people in many countries around the world access to clean water has become a desperate search, the difference between life and death in many

The Nile River had a big effect on the people of Egypt. The river had a profound effect on

northeastern Africa in-between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Some countries that border Egypt are Sudan and Libya. The one main source of water in Ancient Egypt was the Nile River. Ancient Egypt started in 2920 B.C.E. The Nile River helped the crops in Ancient Egypt, for example, papyrus. This got me thinking, how did the Nile River shape Ancient Egypt? There were three ways the Nile shaped Ancient Egypt. They were the seasons, the geography, and their civilization.

In “Perspectives on the Presidency” from The Presidency in a Separated System, Charles O. Jones argues that the United States government is not merely influenced and led by the president. Jones argues in favor of the United States having a separated system, rather than a presidential system. In this separated system, the role of the president varies, depending on resources and strategy. Jones proceeds to discuss two types of perspectives of the president; the Dominant Perspective and the Alternative Perspective. In the Dominant Perspective, political parties are stronger than they normally are in a system of separated elections, the opposing party acts as a critic of the party in power, and the president is, idealistically, aggressive. However,

because of Nile River. Therefore, it became densely populated. Also, the Nile was used for trade and transportation, making it one of the most advanced civilizations of time. Egyptians and their way of life were greatly influenced by geography like the Nile River.

Africa is known as the origin of the human race. Since that is the case, Africa has had the most opportunities to impress the modern world. Africa has done just that. Africa had three major kingdoms, each of which were major successes. Throughout history, Africa’s kingdoms have utilized their natural resources to become some of the most prosperous kingdoms the world has ever seen. Also, the rulers of said kingdoms have used no nonsense policies, both domestic and foreign, to decrease crime rates and peacefully trade. And, lastly, Africa’s natural geography has helped the African people be some of the most successful. Whether it’s the desert or the densely vegetated areas, Africa’s geography has helped it’s people. Before the arrival of the

The Great Barrier Reef is actually the largest living thing on Earth. In fact, it can even be seen from space. The only problem with reefs is that they can only survive under a certain temperature range. If the temperature is too low or too high for the reefs, this causes the algae, which gives the coral their beautiful and bright colors, to leave the coral, and therefore causing the coral to become bleached (National Ocean Service). This is exactly what has happened this year. Data has recently been released that El Niño has caused complete bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef (The New York Times). Let that sink in, the World’s largest living thing, that has been around for about 500,000 years, is dying this year. People need to realize that

While it is not a fact that bigger families are happier, it is a fact that the Earth is running out of space. With an estimated 7.3 billion people living on this planet as of now and 2 billion more people are estimated to join the current population by 2050, the world does not have the space nor the resources to keep these many people happy. Whether people like it or not, something has to be done about the growing human population. If the human population continues to grow without anything to slow the growth, humans will die out along with the Earth. Because humanity will run out of resources, there will be economic issues, and there will be serious contamination to the environment. Population control needs to be implemented into countries by governments.

When George and Lennie meet candy, the old swamper he tells them about the boss’s son (Curley’s) new wife. George and Lennie are told she is flirtatious and troublesome to the men on the ranch. This begins her presentation in the novella through rumors. This means the reader already has a biased opinion of Curley’s wife from the beginning of the book. Candy states that she’s “got the eye” which shows she is a flirt and an attention seeker, which implies she is not faithful to Curley. Already the reader has a negative impression of Curley’s wife.

Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about water shortage and how to cope with water scarcity

(Christensen et al., 2007 cited in UNFCCC, 2007) affirms that the entire African continent is likely to experience warming that is higher than the global annual average. Climate records shows that all of the ten warmest years in the global temperature records up to 2011 have occurred since 1997, with 2005 and 2010 being the warmest two years in more than a century of global records (AMS, 2012). (Cooper et al. 2008:25) noted that whilst the exact nature and extent of the impacts of climate change on temperature and rainfall distribution patterns remain uncertain, it is the poor and vulnerable who will be the most prone to climate change especially in the rural areas, hence adaptation to climate change is an inevitable choice for human

Water is crucial to our survival! Water is one of the scarcest commodities in the world at the moment; some argue that it is scarcer than oil. Wars have been fought over oil; therefore a war over water is a very big possibility in the years to come on this planet. With the current growth of the world’s population and the increase in demand for water in the agricultural industry, the issue of water scarcity is very likely to get worse and worse (Gupta, 2016). This essay will therefore critically discuss water scarcity and how one can prevent a war fought over water, as well as how one can save water and implement change to better our future nationally and globally.

Climate change is a change in global or provincial climate that changes over a time span of many years. Weather can change in just a few hours, But Climate change takes hundreds or even millions of years to change. Climate change is happening all around us. Whether it is the global temperature rise or the melting of the polar ice caps, it is happening.
