Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future :: Science Research Term Papers

Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future Abstract In order to move toward a more sustainable Colorado Springs we must address the system of conventional energy production that fuels the city. Colorado Springs experiences an annual growth rate of 2.5%. The increase in population from year to year results in an increase in the demand for affordable energy. This growing demand in turn places considerable stress on the finite resources that produce this affordable energy. There is a daunting amount of scientific evidence warning people about the environmental and health effects associated with coal-fired power plants, coal mining, and the combustion of natural gas. As we exhaust our finite resources and become increasingly aware of the harm that conventional energy production has inflicted upon our communities, we must look to renewable energy sources. These renewable energy sources provide a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable alternative to coal and natural gas. Obstacles in the way of making the shift from conventional to renewable energy include cost considerations and questions of reliability. Education is the key to overcoming these obstacles. A community that is informed about the drawbacks of conventional energy and the benefits of renewable energy should demand a healthier and more sustainable energy program from Colorado Springs Utilities. We propose to educate the people of Colorado Springs through the formation of a Sustainable Energy Task Force. This task force will increase each individual’s awareness of their impact on the health of the community and environment; and will work with city council and CSU to develop a cohesive Sustainable Energy Plan for Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs is community addicted to cheap energy. Unfortunately, most citizens do not realize the true cost of conventional energy production, which is considerably subsidized by taxpayers. When one factors together the adverse health effects and environmental degradation that result from conventional energy production the cost rises even more dramatically. Customers of Colorado Springs Utilities are unaware of these effects and see coal and natural gas as the cheapest forms of energy available. Although renewable energy appears more expensive at face value, a deeper look reveals an energy source that is much cleaner and more sustainable for future generations. The people of Colorado Springs must be educated about the adverse effects of conventional energy production and the opportunities that renewable energies hold for the future in order to maintain the health of the environment and society of which they are a part.

Nathaniel Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter - 864 Words

In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, he thoroughly exposes the social depths of the Puritan society. As a Romanticist, his values and ideals go in line with nature and individualism, which is lucidly seen by the way he writes of the so called pious who contradict this and rather emphasize conformity. To further depict the hypocrisy within the Puritan community, the use of rhetorical devices is evident as Hawthorne utilized the character of Pearl to epitomize the beauty of yielding societal norms and instead placing emphasis on an open mind. Hawthorne used diction to gear the readers towards understanding Pearl’s genuine jubilance in her way of life. Because Pearl â€Å"could not be made amenable to rules†, many Puritans saw her as destructive and devilish. However, in reality her â€Å"wild, desperate, defiant mood† was embodied with â€Å"quivering sunshine† and â€Å"natural dexterity† as she often painted her face with a â€Å"vi vid and beautiful† smile (Hawthorne 171-187). Hawthorne obviously had certain word choice to further highlight the differing perspectives of the Puritans and Romanticists, such as himself. In the midst of the condescending words and phrases was little Pearl living through her name, truly showcasing her rarity and precious traits. This goes to show that though she was distinct from all others in the community; she possessed a light that never failed to shine ever so brightly. This very light guided her to go about worry-free and with conviction in her character.Show MoreRelatedNathaniel Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter1187 Words   |  5 PagesPuritanism in Red Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter shows the early view of Puritanism by concentrating on sin, guilt, and its effects on society.

Essay on Tartuffe - 1055 Words

Cleante: A True Enlightenment Man Moliere’s Tartuffe is from 17th century France, during the Enlightenment, or the Age of Reason. The type of Enlightenment in the western culture differed from the Eastern Asian philosophies. Enlightenment thinkers put faith in reason and analysis in the Western culture. Tartuffe was born to a culture that valued the age of rationalism, or practical thinking, which had gradually departed from religious beginnings. Furthermore, people in Paris were interested in Enlightenment values such as rationality, moderation, and order. In addition, good manners and gender roles were strictly enforced during this time period. Moliere demonstrates all of these Enlightenment values in his play. The†¦show more content†¦He tells Orgon that his love of Tartuffe is â€Å"nonsense,† and attempts to enlighten him about Tartuffe’s true nature. Yet Cleante knows that his brother-in-law’s mind is clouded by his emotions. Trying to talk sense into his brother, Cleante is the voice of reason, which goes unheard. Orgon believes so intensely in Tartuffe’s godliness and goodness that he is willing to give up anything for him, including his daughter’s happiness in marrying the man she loves. In Act I, scene 5, Orgon blatantly disregards the promise of marriage he made to Valà ¨re to his daughter and has plans to give his daughter’s hand to Tartuffe. Second, the value of moderation and reason in all things, as opposed to excess and obsession, is an important theme running throughout Tartuffe. Cleante is the voice of reason also because he promotes moderation and balance throughout the play. After Orgon realizes Tartuffe’s real nature, Orgon becomes emotional and begins to angrily say that he is â€Å"through with pious men† (Molià ¨re 244). Again, Cleante displays emotional control by questioning Orgon on why he could not be rational (Molià ¨re 244). Cleante advises Orgon that the l esson to be learned from his experience with Tartuffe is not to curse all men who appear to be good but rather carefully avoid all extremes of behavior and judgment to act less impulsivelyShow MoreRelatedTartuffe By William Shakespeare s Tartuffe1639 Words   |  7 Pages In Molià ©re’s Tartuffe, the title character poses as a pious man and is welcomed into the household and personal affections of Orgon, the head of the house.

Essay on Film The Age of Aids - 1875 Words

Topic: Origins of AIDS A) One important scene in the film ‘The Age of Aids’ is â€Å"Port Au Prince, Haiti†. In this scene it outlines the conditions in Haiti, which were very poor and it turn left the city defenseless against the new disease. In 70’s and 80’s the disease began to be seen by doctors and priests who were being sought after to cure a unseen disease which left the people with the â€Å"look of death, [making them] so skinny you could see their bones†. The scene then goes on to take a look at one of the first HIV clinics in Port Au Prince, which was opened in the roughest parts of town. One of the surprising things that this clinic found when they were looking at the patients coming in was that the mean they were analyzing had more†¦show more content†¦The disease developed in humans through blood-to-blood contact, which occurred in hunters from rural villages found within the Congo Basin. The hunters most likely came into contact during the hunt ing and butchering of chimpanzees and other monkeys, which carried the SIV virus. At first the disease wasn’t a threat to humans because for one not a lot of people were being infected, and secondly the immune system would have been able to fight the SIV virus. However, over time with more cross-species transmission, the virus would replicate and through different mutations, it would evolve. Eventually, there would be a mutation in the virus, which would allow the virus to successfully attack a human immune system. This scene explained that since not many were effected to begin with, and because to begin with it wasn’t threatening, that when it became dangerous it didn’t grow at an alarming rate like it would in Haiti in the future. I believe this scene is very efficient at explaining how the virus can adapt so that it would be able to effect the human population like it has to someone who has little knowledge of how viruses work between species. Also I think it is an effective scene, because people are often a lot more sympathetic to animals, and the deaths of animals, so I think that this scene would stick in their brain a lot more than other scenes even if they were just as, or even moreShow MoreRelatedElizabeth Taylor, a True Hollywood Star1209 Words   |  5 Pagesthey signed her in 1941, but she was dropped after the first film.

The Capitalist World Economy

Question: Discuss about the The Capitalist World Economy. Answer: Introduction The purpose of this report is to identify and quantify two issues associated with free market system. A free market system refers to a market economy based on market forces with little or no government interventions. This system is as a result of adoption of a a capitalist system where economic players privately own properties and the only legitimate way of transferring ownership rights is through trade, inheritance, wagers or gifts. Capitalism has been widely adopted in the modern economy despite its spectacular drawbacks (Brockman et al. 2011). As a result of free market, several issues have been created and it requires efforts from both the business players and the governments to remedy the situation .These issues are poverty, gender inequalities, ageing societies, youth unemployment and skills shortages. These issues act to the disadvantage of the countrys current and future situation. This report will start by discussing the Capitalist system followed by in-depth quantifying of youth unemployment and poverty. And finally discussing measures that business and Government need to take to improve levels of youth unemployment and poverty. Capitalist System Capitalist system is an economic system based on private ownership of factors of production and whose operations are profit motivated. Zimbalist et al. (1988) defined pure capitalism system as the one in which means of production (physical capital) are owned and run by private entities (capitalist class) for profits. Most of other people in the economy work for salaries and wages. According to Gregory and Stuart (2013), decisions within the capitalism economy are decentralized by the government and rest with the owners of factors of production who are material motivated to participate. Aspects of Capitalist System Capitalist system is characterized by capital accumulation, private property, wage labor, voluntary exchange, competitive markets and price system (Louis Hyman and Edward E. Baptist (2014). These aspects are discussed below Accumulation of Capital This refers to profit maximization to increase self-worth. Capitalists are devoted to increase their capital in order to increase profits which act as incentives to innovate, work harder and be efficient in production processes (Heilbroner et al. 2008). Private Property This aspect refers to the right of citizens to own and accumulate capital. These rights can be transferred to other private citizens at a price jointly agreed upon. A price of owned or transferred properties is determined by the market forces (Louis et al.2014). Competition Capitalist system is characterized with competition where businesses compete to provide better, cheaper and faster goods or services to the customers. This leads to businesses operating in the most efficient way possible to minimize production and operations costs in order to best offer attractive prices in the market. Louis et al. (2014) stated that completion forces businesses to maximize efficiency for them to offer lowest prices in the market to avoid being kicked out by more efficient business. Private control of Factors of Production In Capitalism, Private entities are in control of factors of production. These include land, capital and labor. Private enterprises set prices of factors of production to levels that maximize profits as shaped by the free market forces. According to Louis et al. (2014), Surplus benefits from the factors of production are held to individual producers. Advantages of Capitalist System Capitalism has proved to be the most productive, efficient and effective economic system that has revolutionized businesses and peoples wants in the world. Generally, capitalism has raised standards of livings for many people by enabling accessibility, quality and affordable prices. Capitalism has been successful and it has benefited the few individuals who can afford to pay and take up the opportunities in a competitive arena. Disadvantages of Capitalist System Though capitalism is widely used, it operations has led to most of the current problems in the current world. These problems are as a result of expansion to increase supply in order to increase profits which is individual gains at the expense of common good i.e. private sector strives to maximize profits with little or no consideration of the other parties. Key Issues in Free Market System Youth Unemployment According to United Nations Youth Report 2012, Youth unemployment is referred to as unemployment of individuals aged between 14-28 years. The age bracket may differ from one region to another. For instance in Africa, the age extends to mid-thirties (Gough et al., 2013). It entails young persons who are willing and able to work, actively looking for a job but cannot find one. Therefore youth unemployment incorporates conglomerate of youths with will and ability to work but cannot find any or cannot find jobs that match the skills they possess or jobs that they can be proud of as their major expertise (Echebiri and Onah,2011) . Factors leading to Unemployment of youth in a free market Skills mismatch Most of young population lack skills required to work in the current labor market. Most of them lack good education and end up lacking skills required by employers. Due to the competitive nature of the free market systems, employers set high qualifications in order to maximize labor. According to the International Labor Organization report on Employment Trends for Youth (2010), skills deficit was contributing to a worse youth economic employments trends. Financial crisis Youths in the economy are the most affected in times of financial crisis in the economy. When recession occurs in the business cycles, the existing problems in education systems and labour market do worsen. Recession affects the quality and security of jobs. It leads to retrenchment, and when it occurs in organization the less experienced and qualified are the first to be fired. For instance in the United Kingdom recession in 2009 rendered many youth unemployed. Lack of capital and credit facilities Youth lack capital to start businesses in free markets especially when they come from financially instable families. It becomes inaccessible due to lack of a collateral and high interest chargeable to loans. Most of youth lack financial history and the lending institutions do decline to risk offering them loans to start businesses. Lending institutions focus to the few individuals in the economy who are able to take opportunities. Lack of entrepreneurship skills .Most of young individuals lack entrepreneurial skills to start and run businesses. They are lack the basic skills required to identify an opportunity, gather required resources and run a business. Opportunities are identified by the old individuals in the field who are experienced and able to run the start-ups effectively. Lack of access to technologies. In most countries, youth cannot afford internet connection. They lack access to information in the digital era. This is mostly experienced in low income countries where even learning institution lack access to technology and internet. When young people graduate, they are at a disadvantage in the job market. Employers will seek for few exposed and knowledgeable candidates leaving the rest unemployed. Consequences of Youth unemployment Lack of innovation When youth people lack opportunities to put their skills into practice, they get lost .Young people end up losing their talents that would otherwise bring new methods of production or products to the economy. The economy suffers in the long run because the knowledge and capabilities of a young people are not utilized in producing innovations that contribute to economic growth. The economy lacks new creativity and diverse thinking that is naturally present amongst the young people. Political Unrest When youth are idle as a result of unemployment, they engage in riots and protests against the government of their country. Increased levels of youth unemployment lead to political unrest in the country and they threaten the internal security of a nation. For example in the year 2008 to 2011 ,when there was raise in youth unemployment in Europe ,there were riots and protects witnessed in a number of countries e.g. Spain, France and United Kingdom. Loss of a generation Young people are viewed to be the next social and economic generation. When they are not employed to utilize their skills and improve them, it consequently implies that a country will be losing the next generation. Unemployed young people end up living in poverty since they will lack money for basic needs. When young people are unemployed, they become socially excluded generation ( Morsy, 2012). Increase in crime Young people have a lot of energy and when they are not employed, they end up shifting attention to crime. Uddin et al (2008) stated that when young people who have skills lack jobs, they shift attention and use their skills to commit crime to earn a living .For example the cybercrime is rampant among learned young people. Poverty Poverty is defined as the general scarce of ones necessities (Merriam, 2013). Sabates (2008), outlines that poverty is diverse concept that includes economic, social and political elements of an individual or country. Poverty is a temporal situation that can last for a short period of time or long period of time. It can either be absolute or relative. Absolute poverty refers to lack of basic needs while relative poverty takes into consideration of a persons economic and social status in relation to others in the society. Causes of Poverty in Free Market Heavy competition The have-nots in free market are faced with heavy completion from the haves in business. When poor people try to start up businesses, they face stiff competition from the rich who have access to adequate capital and are able to operate in large scale that enable them benefit from economies of scale. As a result, poor people are in most instances kicked out of businesses and are left with nothing to do. This scenario increase the inequality in the economy with rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. Lack of Skills Individual who lack skills are not qualified to take job opportunities in a competitive free market. Employers in free markets go for most qualified individual who are well trained from the best institutions of preferences. When individual lack decent good rewarding jobs they get demoralized to work and opt for informal sector where they are able to access basic facilities. Lack of Capital When individual lack capital, they end up unable to start enterprises that would earn them incomes. Lack of capital by individuals makes them losers as they will have to watch those who have capital take their opportunities to invest and earn money. Limited access to credit Access to credit in free market requires collateral and financial history. When an individual is not from a financially stable background, then it becomes hard for them to start accessing credit services in a free market. The financial institutions are competitive and prefer working with the haves because it easy to recovery loans. This makes it difficult for individual from poor background to start or run businesses that are competitive in the economy. Lack of Protection from the Government It is hard for infant industries to develop in a free market unless they are offered protection by the government. When start-ups are not protected from the established businesses, they fail due to market failure. Established businesses have the first mover advantage and their producing average cost is minimum which not the case with infant firms. This phenomenon is rampant in free market making it impossible for new businesses to enter the industry. Consequences of poverty Poverty leads to increased criminal offences, low standards of living, increased epidemics and inequitable economy.

From this study, youth unemployment can be reduced by equipping young people with more vocational, life-skills, entrepreneurial and current 21st century job skills. Also, it is possible to reduce poverty level by protecting infant businesses, training citizens, and offering capital at affordable interests and considerable terms by the government. Businesses have a role to play also in order to reduce youth unemployment and poverty in a free market economy. Businesses partnership with educational institutions, offering attachment and internship programs can help reduce youth unemployment in the economy. Businesses can also reduce poverty by creating more jobs for the citizens, designing products for the bottom pyramid and promoting entrepreneurship to the people through social responsibility programs. In summary, capitalist system is not sustainable and causes harm to other players in an economy if no further remedy actions are taken.
