United States Has Experienced More Hurricanes in Recent Years than We Have in The Past Discussion

reply to discussionThe United States has experienced more hurricanes in recent years than we have in the past and this can be contributed to global warming. Based on the number of storms each year and the strength of each storm, there has been an increase in hurricanes since the start of the 20th century (Levitt & Kommenda, 2018). Climate change means the world?s oceans continue to warm, contributing to more hurricanes. Warm waters ensure hurricanes are able to intensify in strength as well.Without reversing or stalling global warming, these natural disaster which gravely affect our infrastructure, will only increase. Not only hurricanes, but tropical cyclone rainfall will increase due to anthropogenic warming and the accompanying increase in atmospheric moisture (GFDL, 2019). What?s worse is that the biggest challenge to global warming and climate change the free-riding incentives. While one country may bust their butt to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel usage, another country will likely see that and say ?oh, they?re doing enough, I don?t need to contribute.? Wikipedia is a great example of this. Many of us use the Wikipedia site daily to confirm a question or learn about something new. It often asks us if we want to donate and I?d be willing to bet most of us say no, myself included. We are betting that this public service will be funding one way or another by someone else, yet we still use it like it is ours. The same goes for free riding incentives in terms of global climate change. Why should one nation contribute millions of dollars, reduce fossil fuels, etc, if no one else is helping the problem?GFDL.

UC Davis The First Convention Is Similes Discussion

Try to use simple sentence structure and wordsDrawing on your prior knowledge and the reading you’ve done so far–especially Garrard’s chapter on the pastoral and Gifford’s essay on pastoral, anti-pastoral, and post-pastoral–brainstorm at least THREE key pastoral conventions below. A few rules:2) Label each convention that you add to the list. Does the convention have to do with:3) Provide examples of each convention. Your example can be from the assigned Thoreau or Apess readings, or an example you find online. Make sure to cite where each example came from.perference:LogosEthosPathosexample:1. The first is figurative language using similes. This convention helps the reader further visualize the imagery in the text. It helps to paint a picture so the message can be clearly conveyed. It plays a big part in the setting, as the reader has something else to compare it to and understand the concept better. This convention is most associated with logos. An example in Thoreau’s text is, “When other birds are still the screech owls take up the strain, like mourning women in their ancient u-lu-lu” (Thoreau 87).2. The next convention is exaggeration as this also helps the reader further visualize the setting. It also stresses a certain point and highlights it to be important. This is a big part of the author’s style as it is not a factual sentence. Most used as logos Thoreau uses it, “here comes the cattle train bearing the cattle of a thousand hills” (Thoreau 86). Obviously there are not a thousand hills worth of cattle but it gets the point across that there are a lot of cattle on this train. 3. The last convention is negative diction. Thoreau uses this quite a bit to degrade the incoming railroads. This convention helps explain the purpose of the text as the reader gets a better idea of how the author feels towards certain matters. This is a stylistic matter that also falls into logos. Thoreau uses it to say, “I will not have my eyes put out and my ears spoiled by its smoke and steam and hissing” (Thoreau 86). Using the words spoiled and hissing makes the train seem of malintent further building up how we should feel towards the the train.

(2014a)REQUIREMENTS:ETHICAL ISSUE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS Prof. WestPURPOSEThis written assignment intends to provide practical experience in policymaking from an ethical standpoint.  It is due on or before __________ (midnight US Eastern time), and must be submitted via Blackboard.This assignment requires use of the standard format for a policy memorandum.  The format is designed to help high-level executives make a good decision about an issue under extreme information and time constraints.  In this case, the course instructor will be playing the role of executives; you will provide the briefing in written form.The policy memo type is the decision-making memorandum, which can be used for problem identification and agenda setting, policy formulation, or policy implementation decisions.FORMATThe first and perhaps most important rule is that the memorandum in its entirety cannot exceed 3 pages.  You should use standard 1-inch margin settings (left, right, top, bottom).  The font should be Arial 11. Use single-spacing within paragraphs, and a double space between paragraphs.  The footer of the page should include page numbers.  (This instruction document follows these formatting conventions.) Since this is not a formal research paper, only brief in-text references with source and date are required, such as ?(Centers for Disease Control, 2013) or ?(New York Times, 3 January 2014)? Use quotation marks if it is necessary to use a direct quote, but in general a lot of quoted excerpts aren?t appropriate for this brief format.TOPICSSince this is a class in Public Administration ethics, your topic should relate to an ethical issuerequiring government action. Check with the instructor if you are unsure about the suitability of a topic.  You have only 3 pages here, so don?t pick too big a topic. While the policy memorandum is typically focused on an executive decision, you can also discuss topics for legislative action, where the executive would take the lead in trying to set the agenda for legislators. SECTIONSA decision-making memorandum has 5 standard sections, and your memo should as well.   (Note that the 5th is merely a set of checkboxes.)  The sample is on the next page.  Sample:ETHICAL POLICY MEMORANDUM FOR: West (maybe President West, Governor West, Mayor West, Director West)FROM: [your name] (don?t forget to put this!)DATE: March 15, 2016SUBJECT: [your topic]1. Action-Forcing EventSpecify the nature of the situation, issue, or problem requiring or suggesting action and the degree of flexibility associated with it (e.g., whether immediate action is needed). Be sure to address the inherent ethical issue.2. Background/AnalysisOutline the current status and relevant history of the action-forcing event.  Provide a succinct assessment of essential information about the key issues, principal actors, and primary constituencies (stakeholders) affected by the action-forcing event so that an informed, well-justified, and persuasive decision can be made.The action-forcing event can sometimes be summarized in a sentence or two, but the background/analysis section can be anywhere from paragraphs to pages long.  Ideally this section presents enough evidence that it is conceivable to build a consensus among key stakeholders on a particular action.3. Policy Option(s)Summarize options stating the advantages and disadvantages of each possible proposal. If there is only one recommended option, then this section is not necessary and the Recommendations section alone will suffice.  Each option should spell out the pros and cons (unless that is provided in the Recommendation section), and should address the corresponding ethical ramifications.4. Recommendation(s)Indicate a single recommendation or list options. Identify and summarize the most important benefits and costs of each option, if this was not done in the prior section.  Identify likely support, opposition and criticisms of each option from various stakeholders. Explain why your recommendation is the most ethical approach.
