Ecological Problems

Air Pollution

Research from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that an estimated 4.2 to 7 million people die from air pollution worldwide every year and that nine out of 10 people breathe air that contains high levels of pollutants. In Africa, 258 000 people died as a result of outdoor air pollution in 2017, up from 164 000 in 1990, according to UNICEF. This comes mostly from industrial sources and motor vehicles, as well as emissions from burning biomass and poor air quality due to dust storms. 

In Europe, a recent report from the EU’s environment agency showed that air pollution contributed to 400 000 annual deaths in the EU in 2012 (the last year for which data was available). 

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, attention has been put on the role that air pollution has in transporting the virus molecules. Preliminary studies have identified a positive correlation between COVID-19-related mortalities and air pollution and there is also a plausible association of airborne particles assisting the viral spread. This could have contributed to the high death toll in China, where air quality is notoriously poor, although more definitive studies must be conducted before such a conclusion can be drawn.

“College is more than classes, papers, and exams. It is also a meaningful social experience, where people develop friendships and long-term relationships”, exclaimed Piyush Mangukiya in his article, “] Is College Worth the Cost”. Mangukiya believes that college is more than a place of education; it is also a place for people to enhance their communication skills with people they do not know and understanding cultures they are not of. He discusses how people who do not attend college miss out on several important experiences that, like income potential, have lifelong implications. Colleges offers people the opportunity to live, work, and socialize within a contained society made up almost of people their own age. They share similar experiences and develop close personal relationships. Manukiya states,” Almost 30% of Americans report meeting their future spouses in college. Not all of these marriages began with college relationships, but they did find a spark in a friendship developed on campus”.

4. Learning from experience

More often than not, people learn more from their day to day lives than they do from what would be considered to be a typical learning environment. This does not mean that there are not lots of things that must be learned through school, but it does mean that there are lots of things that are better learned through experiences. These types of lessons shape who a person is and how they see the world. For example, math lessons must be taught in a school setting but the importance of family and friends can best be learned through experiences. I remember when I nearly lost my cousin and aunt to a car accident. Sitting next to them and waiting for them to get better taught me that family is very important, the people in our lives are there for a reason, and life should be lived to the fullest.

It was on New Year’s Eve when I was twelve years old. I was angry because I wanted to go to my friend’s house to celebrate the holiday but my family had always celebrated together at my grandmother’s home. My mother had told me that my cousin, who I had not seen since that summer, was coming in for the celebration and I remember thinking that she was probably the reason I had to go. Granted, we had always had a good time together since we were only three months different in age, but I really wanted to go to my friend’s house. So when I got there, I did not talk to my cousin very much. She tried to tell me about her school year and how the trip in had seemed to take forever because she was so excited. I simply put my headphones in and ignored her as I texted my friend and looked at pictures from her celebration.

After the ball dropped, my aunt decided that she would run out to the store to pick up some more items that she needed for cooking breakfast the next morning. My cousin, having been ignored all night, wanted to go with her. She looked at me, in a last ditch effort to gain my attention, and asked “Do you want to come along? Maybe my mom will get us a game or something to do.”

“No,” I replied, “I think I will just sleep through this little affair.” They loaded up into their car and I curled up on the sofa and went to sleep.

Soon after, I was awaken with the whole family in a frantic rush to get dressed. A drunk driver had hit my aunt’s car and they were both in critical condition. All I could think about was how mean I had been to her all night long and how I may never get a chance to make up for it.

Sitting next to her at the hospital, I whispered my apologies and swore that I would be a better cousin. My mother hugged me and said, “she knows, honey. I am sure that she has friends at her home that she would like to have celebrated with as well.” That made me feel a bit better, but I knew that I had been wrong in the way that I had acted.

Fortunately, my cousin and her aunt made a full recovery and I was able to spend some much needed time with my family. I still value my friends, as I should, but I never put anyone or anything above my family. Life is short and it can end in the blink of an eye. Make sure that your family always knows that you love them, value them, and enjoy the gift of their time.

5. Job interview

A job interview is an interview consisting of a conversation between a job applicant and a representative of an employer which is conducted to assess whether the applicant should be hired.^[1] Interviews are one of the most popularly used devices for employee selection.^[1] Interviews vary in the extent to which the questions are structured, from a totally unstructured and free-wheeling conversation, to a structured interview in which an applicant is asked a predetermined list of questions in a specified order;^[1] structured interviews are usually more accurate predictors of which applicants will make suitable employees, according to research studies.^[2]

A job interview typically precedes the hiring decision. The interview is usually preceded by the evaluation of submitted résumés from interested candidates, possibly by examining job applications or reading many resumes. Next, after this screening, a small number of candidates for interviews is selected.

Potential job interview opportunities also include networking events and career fairs. The job interview is considered one of the most useful tools for evaluating potential employees.^[3] It also demands significant resources from the employer, yet has been demonstrated to be notoriously unreliable in identifying the optimal person for the job.^[3] An interview also allows the candidate to assess the corporate culture and demands of the job.

Multiple rounds of job interviews and/or other candidate selection methods may be used where there are many candidates or the job is particularly challenging or desirable. Earlier rounds sometimes called 'screening interviews' may involve fewer staff from the employers and will typically be much shorter and less in-depth. An increasingly common initial interview approach is the telephone interview. This is especially common when the candidates do not live near the employer and has the advantage of keeping costs low for both sides. Since 2003, interviews have been held through video conferencing software, such as Skype.^[4] Once all candidates have been interviewed, the employer typically selects the most desirable candidate(s) and begins the negotiation of a job offer.
