Saigas: A Mysterious Disease

Elizabeth Kolbert, a journalist, took her curiosity of science and traveled all around the world to see just how the lives of different varieties of species deal with predators, habitat changes, climate changes, etc. Just some of the places Kolbert visited were the United States, Panama, France, the island of Ischia, One Tree Island, and many, many more. Extinction, the disappearance of a particular species, is a crucial topic in this particular book. Many species over the whole entire world, are quickly declining in numbers. Humans have a vital responsibility for some of these species going extinct, and we need to advertise what we are doing to animals world wide so we aren’t a source of the majority of extinctions.

The authorities found 3 possible suspects. One was a big Samoan dude, the other was a Chinese dude, and the last was a elderly lady. The authorities worked industriously to find the suspect and they tried to be as impartial as they could. They acknowledged the Samoan guy and he was furious that they thought he started the disease. The authorities soon realized he was irrelevant. Then they went to the Chinese guy who couldn't speak English so he had an agent. The agent soon convinced that the Chinese guy wasn't the suspect. So finally they trekked to the old lady house went the population was still abating.

In Ravisankar’s Lantern Ohio state university student newspaper essay, “ Sweatshop Oppression” writer Rajeev Ravisankar uses Black Friday as an opening to show the great lengths that consumers are willing to go to achieve the most products for the lowest price possible. The problem that he identifies is the rampant state of the consumer who is lost in their own mind in acquiring the best deals and not thinking otherwise into the human cost that goes in to producing the items they are buying. His second goal is to bring awareness to the conditions and day-to-day work life of the many who suffer horrid conditions in these sweatshops. He assumes that his readers have some knowledge of the term sweatshop, but many do not understand the conditions

This was the most difficult virus in the game. This time, I tried implementing the same techniques as with the easy virus. I attempted to implement early detection systems in countries closest countries to the outbreak. Furthermore, I quickly closed airports, schools, and markets in the affected country. While I thought that all of these actions would lead to successful control of the virus, I was wrong. This virus was much stronger than the Kai virus from the last time, and took many more lives than before. The Broadway virus ended in two less days than the Kai Virus, however took many more lives and infected many more individuals than the previous virus. This opened my eyes to another aspect of such outbreaks. No two viruses are alike and because of that, one cannot follow the same path that they used to stop one epidemic and implement it into stopping another one. Scientists and countries much take each virus outbreak on a case by case basis and act

The Yanomami tribe lives in the rainforests and mountains of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil. They are the largest somewhat isolated tribe in South America. As of today, their total population resides around 32,000 people. The territory of the Yanomami in Brazil is twice the size of Switzerland. In the 1940s the Brazilian government sent people out to delimit the frontier with Venezuela, and this was the first time the Yanomami tribe came in contact with outsiders. Religious missionary groups and the government’s Indian Protection Service soon established themselves there. The arrival of this large number of people led to the first widespread of the measles and flu which killed many of the Yanomami. The military government built a

Going all the way down to South America, there is a creature called the Chupacabra. People believes that this creature lives in Venezuela. Many people from Venezuela reports that they have seen this creature at night eating their cows, sheeps, and their livestocks. Chupacabra is a creature that looks like a dog, more like a hyena and people say that they are very aggressive and they can kill animals quickly with their deadly teeth. People in South America says that Chupacabras doesn’t eat animals but they suck the blood out from the creature. When you see the pictures of the victims,

In this case study, the features of a dilemma are obvious regarding the wild horses which represent a respectful sign of the independence of the American West. However, the health of the wild horses is in risk, which subjects the government to serious difficulty in handling this situation (Starling, 2011). Therefore, to encounter this situation properly, there is a need for bridging a positive coordination between the primary players of the horse lobby and the ecological

Elephant has long been known as one of man’s best friends, who have peacefully coexisted along with humanity for thousands of years. However, the relationship between the two is no longer in the equilibrium state. In “An Elephant Crackup?”, Charles Siebert discusses the downfall of the elephants. He gives a depiction of the recent raging and violent acts of the elephants among themselves and toward other species, including humans, and presents an educated and almost unexpected explanation to their behaviors. He says elephants are just like us; they have feelings and now are “suffering from a form of chronic stress, a kind of species-wide trauma”(Siebert 354). The similarity that should be something fascinating is now slowly turning them into the immensely savage beasts before wiping them out of existence. Even when the appearance of the words “stress” and “trauma” looks like a serious case of “anthropocentric conjecture”, it provides a totally new vision, a fresh way of looking at the boiling issue of the disappearance and sadistic acts of elephants specifically and wild animals at large. With the help of two powerful essays: “Great to Watch” by Maggie Nelson and “The Power of Context” of Malcolm Gladwell, the issue of the unusual behaviors of the elephants is thoroughly illuminated and its solution no longer seems to be out of human’s reach.

The official title of the world’s largest land dwelling animal belongs to the elephant, more specifically, the African elephant. Elephants also are some of the most deadly animals, which therefore increase the danger of human and elephant interactions. The more human interactions occur, the more deaths result, whether it is the elephant or the human who dies. These animals, surprisingly, are socially apt; their trunk is used for more than just eating and drinking- it is used for socializing. They are complex animals who live in large familial herds-females stay with their family throughout their entire lives while males only stay for approximately fifteen years (Elephant Protection, 1). Elephants possess a great memory and only forget what they learn occasionally and rarely, giving way to the “an elephant never forgets” saying (Maloiy, 178c). Despite how many people use the beloved saying, elephants may not be around much longer due to the shortened life span and increased mortality rates. Due to their incisor teeth, tusks, being extremely expensive and profitable, they are being murdered for the wealth they carry. This, coupled with the life span shortening because of malicious treatments and brutal practices reduces the life span of the African elephant from 56 to 16 years and the Asian elephant from 42 to 19 years (Elephant Protection, 1). According to what the statistics show, elephants may be following their ancestors to their death. Of the group of mammals called

The online article, “Import of Deer, Elk Parts in SC Still Limited by State Regulation,” focuses on the issue of Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and elk in the United States but mostly in South Carolina. It discusses the impact the disease has on deer and elk populations and the problems wildlife professionals face in detecting and understanding the disease. In relation to this main idea, it details how the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is taking precautions against the disease’s threat through several regulations in order to protect their vital white-tailed deer population.

In the remote part of eastern Venezuela in the Orinoco delta region, indigenous villages are facing the fear of cultural extinction from the AIDS virus, it had been 2 years since the last nurse had come to treat the villagers with HIV vaccine treatment, devastatingly out of the 15 villages apart of the treatment plan 5 died from AIDS or AID like symptoms. “The government has ignored the issue” the indigenous Warao tribe has gone from 30,000 to the meer hundreds. “ medical specialists and warao community leadership say, leaving the population to face to face a profound existential threat alone”

IBM had policies in place to prevent conflict of interest between employees and a policy that stated that IBM respected an employee's right to privacy during off hours (Rosser, 2011). In the case of Roulon-Miller v IBM (1981), the plaintiff had worked for IBM for sixteen years and was terminated for a relationship with a former employee that was working for a competitor. The court ruling against IBM was based on inadequate policies to justify the action taken against the employee.

In Sweden, where I live, the disease is not even seen as deadly anymore. Only approximately 6,500 Swedes are today infected
