  Climate Change Climate change is a long-term shift in global or regional climate patterns. Often climate change refers specifically to the rise in global temperatures from the mid-20th century to present.   Global temperatures and sea levels are rising, and possibly contributing to larger more devastating storms. This can all be contributed to climate change. Climate change is defined as gradual changes in all the interconnected weather elements on our planet over approximately 30 years. The data shows the Earth is warming and it's up to us to make the changes necessary for a healthier planet. Climate is sometimes mistaken for weather. But climate is different from weather because it is measured over a long period of time, whereas weather can change from day to day, or from year to year. The climate of an area includes seasonal temperature and rainfall averages, and wind patterns. Different places have different climates. A desert, for example, is referred to ...

 Waste management Waste management is the management of unwanted garbage by disposing and recycling them. Waste management needs proper methods keeping in mind the environmental conditions in our surroundings. For instance, there are several methods and techniques through which the waste can be disposed of. Waste management is a very important matter in today’s society. Due to the rapid and continuous increase in the population, the amount of waste generating is increasing day by day.  Waste management reduces the effect of toxic wastes on the environment and human health. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when discussing waste management, such as disposal methods, recycling methods, avoidance and reduction methods, and transportation of waste. The process of waste management involves treating solid and liquid waste.  Some of these methods are Landfills, Recycling, Composting, and many other techniques. Furthermore, these metho...

Corruption    Majority of us are aware of the term “corruption” as it is frequently used in daily parlance. What is corruption? Different pictures emerge in our mind.  The most plausible reference to the nature of corruption could be assessed in the words of Joe Bidden, 47th Vice President of the United States of America, “Corruption is just another form of tyranny.” The statement weighs corruption as equivalent to that of cruel and oppressive rule of government. However, for a common man/woman, corruption is a challenge, that he/she faces every day for protecting his/her fundamental rights and other privileges provided to him as human beings guaranteed by the Constitution. Corruption in public life is a way to get selfish gains through illegal methods and by misuse of public posts and public property. Corruption for private firms/companies is all about making unfair profits by exploiting the employees and consumers by circumventing government laws.  Corruption pre...

  DEPRESSION Depression is characterised by long-term sadness and hopelessness that are out of proportion to the circumstances. Depression is a term that has a negative connotation to it. It solely refers to a person’s inconsistent, inappropriate, and lengthy reaction to a life event or condition. Indeed, depression can occur even when there is nothing in a person’s life that causes it, a condition is known as Anhedonia, or a general lack of interest in pleasurable things.     Depression is more than just feeling sad. It’s a mental illness that can be tremendously debilitating. According to the  National Institute of Mental Health , depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the US, with 7.3 million (or 7.1%) adults suffering from it. While depression is slightly more common in women than men (8.7% versus 5.3%), depression doesn’t discriminate by gender, age, or race. Symptoms include depressed mood, feeling “numb,” loss of i...

  Natural Disasters - Cyclones   A natural disaster is a major catastrophic event from the earth's natural processes; Examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and other geological processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or damage to property, and it often leaves many economic damage dependents on the resilience of the people affected by the existing infrastructure.   Over the past decade, more than 300 natural disasters occur each year worldwide, affecting billions and billions. A disaster cycle is a framework used to establish a systematic response to recovery, recovery, prevention and preparedness. Access to clean water, shelter, food, proper sanitation and the threat of infectious diseases are potential risks to natural disaster management, delaying the recovery process. Cyclones Hurricanes are climate peculiarities which structure over the sea through the arrival of energy produced by d...

 Effects of global warming   Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Already, the consequences and effects of global warming are measurable and visible on the planet.   "We can observe this happening in real time in many places," Josef Werne, a professor of geology and environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh, told Live Science. "Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers. Lakes around the world, including Lake Superior, are warming rapidly — in some cases faster than the surrounding environment. Animals are changing migration patterns and plants are changing the dates of activity," such as trees budding their leaves earlier in the spring and dropping them later in the fall.   Global warming the gradual heating of Earth's surf...
