Global warming
The earth is the only planet that records the existence of living organisms. Living organisms are all things that contain life namely plants and animals. Human beings are classified as the highest forms of animals making them responsible for the environment. As inhabitants of the environment, human beings have a responsibility of monitoring the activities of all living things. This responsibility has however been misused in that the environment continues to depreciate in value. One of the reasons for this depreciation is the existence of global warming. Global warming is caused by the change in normal temperatures of the globe. The change in the temperature is mostly triggered by the human activity which increases by the minute. Global warming has thus become one of the current environmental discussions. The solution to the question of global warming is evident in that individuals should practice safe keeping of the environment. This however is not the case in that people continue to undermine the seriousness of this situation. One of the ways of eradicating this issue is by imposing harsh penalties of primary offenders. This however is not enough to stop the abuse of the environment leaving the environment at the mercy of human beings (Maslin, p. 321).
The focus of this paper is to provide an analysis on global warming. The paper looks at different contributing elements to global warming. This involves the study of related issues that the environment experiences involving the climate. The paper forms its basis through the definition of significant terms in this area of study. This is followed by the discussion of the causes and effects of global warming to the environment. The paper further provides a concluding paragraph that summarizes the contents of the analysis.
Global warming is the change of the temperature of the due to the reaction of the greenhouse gases and the environment. The temperature of the earth is essential for the survival of the living organisms. This temperature is thus crucial to the extent that failure to maintain it can destroy the living organisms. There are several factors that contribute to global warming of the environment. Some of these factors are natural factors that are mostly cannot be avoided. Natural factors are not as dangerous owing to the fact that they are the least harmful elements of change. The other factor that contributes to the change in temperature is manmade activities. Manmade activities play a significant role as an agent of environmental change. Most of these activities are avoidable but remain to the biggest culprits.
Climate change has on several occasions been confused with global warming. This has in turn misleads the society on the true meaning of global warming. Climate change has a completely different meaning from global warming making both factors have different implications on the environment. Climate change is referred to as the change in temperatures, weather and seasons of the environment. Climate change varies from one location to another depending on conditions of the area. Like global warming, climate change is affected by both man made and natural factors (Maslin, p. 208).
Greenhouse gases Greenhouse gases are gases that inhibit solar radiation from penetrating to the atmosphere. Solar radiation is ideal for the maintenance of the environments radiation. The exposure of greenhouse gasses to the environment interferes with the activities of the solar radiation thus changing the normal climate. Some of the notorious greenhouse gases are carbon, choroflourcaborns and watervapour which are natural. Despite the fact that most of the greenhouse gases are natural, human activities have been known to trigger the creation of manmade gases. This has increased the level of gases in the atmosphere which as a result increases the rate of climate change in the environment. Most of the manmade gases are emitted from the burning of wood and coal which have a high concentration of carbon.
The ozone is an essential part of climate change and global warming. The ozone is vital to the sustainability of all living things. The ozone layer is significant in that it protects the earth’s environment from the harsh rays of the sun. The ozone layer is in gashouse state making it more difficult to comprehend. It is thus impossible to determine the location of the ozone due to its gaseous state. This situation worsens the condition of the ozone in that people are not able to see the extent to which the layer is destroyed. The ozone is situated between the atmosphere and the earth. The main aim of this location is to maintain the correct temperature of the environment. It does this by blocking the dangerous rays produced from the sun. Human beings play a significant role in the sustainability of the ozone layer. Over the years, the ozone has slowly been changing its formation due to human activity. The main agent of this change is the release of carbon gases to the earth’s environment. The continued release worsens the hole formed in the ozone layer which in turn increases the extent of the ozone depletion. Ozone depletion is made possible through the reaction of the carbon gases with the gases of the ozone layer. This activity exposes the environment to the harsh rays of the sun endangering the safety of all living things as a result. .
All these factors are related in that they all affect each other in one way or another. Failure to observe proper car of one factor affects the other negatively. This leads to the spiraling damage of the environment making it loose its value. One of the ways of controlling this rising issue is by creating awareness of the dangers of careless human activity. This can only be effective if society is aware of the implications that come of environmental damage. The concentration on global warming is ideal in that it is central to the management of the earth’s environment. Global warming will thus be looked at more critically owing to its effects on human life (Maslin, p. 163).
Beginning of global warming
The issue on global warming is not one that has been introduced in present day. Global warming dates from the time of the occurrence of the ice age. The earth was filled with an enormous amount of ice over 18, 000 years ago. These dynamics were changed when the ice in the earth succumb to the change in temperature. This resulted in the melting of the ice creating a warmer and sunnier environment. This gave rise to the creation of longer summers and the reduction of cold seasons. The temperatures stabilized for a long because of the controlled human activity and population. The temperatures have however been changing as a result of the introduction of different factors in the environment. One of the factors responsible for global warming is the activities of the greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases comprise of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor. These gases are present in the atmosphere making it possible for them to trap the heat from the sun. The reaction of the gasses attracts the heat to the earth’s surface which in turn increases the temperature. The heat that gets into the atmosphere remains and changes the dynamics of the temperature. One of the disadvantages of the greenhouse effects is that the process cannot be reciprocated. This means that the temperature is change remains permanent.
Increased causes of global warming
As stated earlier, global warming involves the increase in temperature of the environment. This increase is caused by various factors which are either man made or natural. In order to control the dynamics of global warming, human activity needs to change. One of the ways of looking at the human activity in relation to global warming is the occurrence of globalization. Globalization is the increased interaction of different communities due to the existence of factors such as trade, communication and migration. All these elements are part and parcel of human activity and are therefore unavoidable. Globalization is recorded to have emerged from the ancient days. During this time, communities were keen on migrating so as to get better living conditions. This led to the interaction of different communities thus leading the exchange of social-cultural aspects. Globalization continued to evolve with the time by keeping up with the introduction of new factors. Some of this additions resulted into the creation of a new world that was highly reliant on chemicals for the provision of goods and services. The changes in the lifestyle of human beings led to the introduction of new ideas. One of the pivotal inventions involves the introduction of introduction and the industrial age. This consists of the use of technology in all aspects of life. Technology led to the introduction of urbanization which characterized the use of electronics to ease the workload of human beings. Household have since then adapted to the use of devices such as vehicles, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners on a daily basis. These electronics are responsible for releasing the most dangerous gases in the environment. The rate of urbanization continues to rise due to the increase of the rate of development. This in turn places the environment at risk owing to human beings dependant nature on all things electronics. The use of these commodities release gases in form of carbon dioxide to the earth’s stratosphere. These gases are responsible for the emotion of heat to the environments normal temperature. The change in temperature is not ideal for the sustaining the lives of plants and animals. This is due to the creation of a chemical imbalance between the natural gases and the emitted gases. The environment is not able to return the balance of the gases on its own. It is up to human beings to step in by talking control of the products that the expose to the environment (Maslin, p. 215).
Effects of global warming
Global warming brings about different effects on both human beings and plants. The analysis on the beginning of global warming shows that the process of global warming is inevitable. This process can be controlled if human beings change their lifestyle. Global warming is always associated with negative implications. This gives people a negative perception of the process. Global warming is however responsible for the sustainability of human living things. The temperatures that were present before the occurrence of the melting of the ice age were impossible to live in. Most of the animals could not exist in such conditions due to their body temperature. This is also relatable to plants in that plants need heat in order for their leaves to produce chlorophyll. The greenhouse gases are thus pivotal for the creation of warm temperatures suitable for both human and plant lives. Global warming can thus be credited for the creation of suitable temperatures in the environment.
The creation of global warming has been an advantage and disadvantage to the earth’s environment. One of the factors that earth continues to face is the continued reaction of the greenhouse gases with the sun. As stated earlier, once the heat from the sun is attracted by the gasses to the environment it cannot get out of the environment. This means that the temperatures of the earth are expected to rise in the next years to come. The greenhouse gases are naturally present in earth atmosphere. The problem arises due to the increased release of more greenhouse gases by human beings. This is triggered buy factors such as globalization, urbanization and innovation of more technology. The more the factors increase, the more the earth becomes subject to the release of the greenhouse gases. This has dangerous effects on the earth and its inhabitants in that temperature should be received in moderation. Excess heat is hazardous to the sustainability of all living things. The imbalance of the greenhouse gasses would mean lack of protection from excess heat and cold. Excess heat is dangerous for all living things in the surface of the earth. Global warming is responsible for the cause of conditions such as skin cancer. Skin cancer damages the cells of human beings making the body organs vulnerable to the outside environment. This condition can lead to death and is thus dubbed as one of the most vital skin conditions to date. Global warming is also dangerous in that exposure to the sun leads to the damage of body parts such as the eyes. Human beings are advised to limit their exposure to the sun due to the strong ultra violet rays that it relays. Increased temperatures would affect the eyesight of most human beings increasing the risk of getting blind as a result.
Global warming has some long time implications on the sustainability of the earth. The earth is the principle habitat of all things that breathe. Living things are thus at the mercy of the environment in that their existence is threatened if the conditions are unbearable. Research shows that if these conditions continue to escalate, the lives of living things will reduce by a great margin. Increased temperatures will mean that all organisms will be destroyed in the long run. This is alarming in that the lifespan of all living things continues to reduce when the temperature increase (Maslin, p. 346).
Control of global warming
Global warming is a controllable factor if the activities of human beings are monitored. The greenhouse gases are essential for the overall control of the temperature of the environment. The gases naturally occur in that they were present before the existence of mankind. The gases are thus able to regulate their temperature without the interference of human beings. One of the ways global warming can be controlled is the observation of activities of human beings. Human beings pose the most risk to the sustainability of the global temperatures. This is ironic in that they are the most affected by the effects of global warming. One of the ways human beings can control this spiraling issue is by observing their living conditions. The United States is one of the countries responsible for the increase of global warming. The country consumes the largest amount of fuel which in turn releases an enormous percentage of gases to the environment. This is dangerous due to the fact that the population continue to rise annually. The increase in population increases the demand of fuel which reflects on the increased temperatures. One of the ways that human beings can control this occurrence is by reducing the consumption of fuel. This is difficult in that fuel is responsible for the production of goods and services. Human beings should thus consume fuel carefully. Fuel saving methods can include carpooling so as to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. People can also opt for using alternative vehicles that are safe for the environment. Some of the vehicles in the market are the prius hybrid and the electrical cars. These options reduce the consumption of fuel which as a result makes the environment safe for living things to live in (Maslin, p. 238).
In conclusion, Global warming is one of the globe environment issues human beings face. Global warming was formed from the reactions of the greenhouse gases that changed the environmental condition of the earth. The greenhouses are responsible for the regulation of the earth’s temperature making them an essential part of human life. These gases are natural making them self reliant. Human beings are also responsible for the emission of gases to the earth’s environment due to their day to day activities. One of the ways that this is done is through the use of fuel which releases by products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These reactions attract sunlight from the ultraviolet rays which warm up the temperatures of the environment. There are several factors that contribute to the increase in temperatures of the environment. Most of these are brought about by the change in the lifestyle of human beings. Factor like globalization, technology and urbanization have a long-term effect on the environment in that they have become a way of life. It is difficult to decrease the occurrence of such factors making it to control the rate of global warming. One of the solutions that human beings have is to carefully monitor their activities so as to control the situation. This can only be successful if different countries educate their citizens on the vitality of this issue. The inability to monitor human activity reduces the sustainability of all living things. This in turn poses a risk to the future of fall things that call the environment home.

Mother Archetype
Mother Archetype
The Always Present Mother “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man” (Gen. 2:23). History has shown us that the “Great Mother” archetype has been with society since the beginning of time. Through stories, songs, poems and thoughts, man has always found the need for the “Mother” and the women that make this archetype possible. Some are consider myths and legends, while others have been documented in history. Regardless of what they have done or thought to have done, they have made an impact on the way man foresees woman. I will discuss three women characters that play a role in the mother archetype, and explain why these rolls are important to their culture. Demeter will be the first goddess in this examination on the mother archetype, followed by Isis. These women are man-made stories, to try and help explain why certain things are the way they are. The last mother archetype I will discuss was a woman that is still worshipped today, and with the help of man-made stories, she has become immortal. This woman is the Virgin Mary.
Before this is discussed, I will explain what an archetype is and what traits and similarities one must have to become a “Mother Archetype”. The mother archetype is a term derived from a man by the name of Carl Gustav Jung. Jung was a predecessor of Sigmund Freud. “According to Jungian psychology the archetypes of the collective unconscious are manifested in similar mythological motifs which are universal…” (Trachy and Hopkins 166). Jung defines an archetype in many ways. Archetypes appear in conscious as a universal and recurring image, pattern or motif representing a typical human experience. Archetypal images come from the collective unconscious and are the basic concepts of religions, mythologies, legends and Arts…they emerge through dreams and visions…they convey a sense of transpersonal power which transcend the ego. (Jung 46) The ego is the center of the consciousness and the base of the individual’s experience of subjective identity. The mother archetype has definite qualities of her own, such as, life giving, wisdom, and nurturing traits. Not all the traits of the mother archetype are good. There is the evil side of the mother archetype as well, such as, darkness, witchery and death. All these aspects are taken into consideration when it come to the mother archetype. Which leads me to my first example, Demeter.
Demeter is from Greek mythology, and is known as the goddess of the harvest. Demeter is most known for the story of her daughter, Persephone, being taken away by Hades. Hades was the God of the underworld. The story is to explain why there are seasons and why these seasons are repeated each year. The myth is fairly simple, Hades takes Persephone away from Demeter. Demeter was so sad by this, that she neglected her duties as goddess of the harvest and all the vegetation died. Zeus, who was the God of all gods, demanded that Hades return Persephone to Demeter. Hades did do so, but not without first giving a pomegranate seed to her for her to eat. This seed would make Persephone return to Hades in the underworld for four months each year. Thus giving the world its four months of winter, when no harvest shall grow. Demeter goes through the same cycle of turmoil every time her daughter leaves. Although Demeter, as a woman, appears to have the ability to give life with the harvests and child, she also has the ability to take that life away. This is one of the greatest distinctions of the mother archetype. To associate Demeter with life giving qualities, one can only expect the opposite in return. Her depiction of power of the growth to the harvests is simply man’s representation of his own views on woman and their ability to give life and the awareness of taking that life away. The comparison of the seasons, with Demeter, is also man’s view on life. What man destroys, nature will help refurbish. Just as woman can continue to bring in new life to the world.
Here we see the goddess Isis of Egyptian Mythology. I am Isis, I am she who is called goddess by women I gave and ordained laws for humans which no one is able to change I divided the earth from the heavens I ordered the course of the sun and the moon I appointed to women to bring their infants to birth in the tenth month I made the beautiful and the shameful to be distinguished by nature I established punishment for those who practice injustice I am Queen of rivers and winds and sea I am the rays of the sun Fate hearkens to me Hail Egypt that nourishes me. (Engelsman) Obviously greatly admired in her time, which lasted until around 600 AD. Isis had all the qualities and more of the mother archetype. One particular quality she displayed was her mysteriousness. She was everything, so it seemed, but no one really knew why she was all of this. This question allows one to ask, why all of these traits as listed above, to one woman have. The answer is the one and the same with the story of Demeter. Man admires woman for what she can do and for what he will never be able to do. Give life, nurture life and in many ways control life. Isis is the apex of all the goddesses and the mother archetype. The Egyptian culture must have had great respect for their women at the time the story of Isis was developed. This is evident in all the complexion they gave to Isis. She was nature, and everything that attributed to it. While Demeter and Isis both have noteworthy mother archetypal qualities, they lack in some of the more virtuous aspects. Within the areas they lack in virtue and morality, the Virgin Mary, who is from Christian religions, make up for them.
The Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Mary is not the wife of God though. She was chosen by God to give birth to Jesus. “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus” (Luke 1:31). Mary represents everything good in the world. She has never been touched and is clean and pure. The Virgin Mary represents the woman that man wants. “She will conceive…a Son”. Mary is the subservient to man. She is not represented with any symbols, except for her pureness. She does not have any mystical powers, except for her conception of child without sex. The Virgin Mary is represented as a woman that has been graciously touched by God himself, and gives birth to the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Yet she is still a “handmaid of the lord” (Luke 1:38). The church, the creator of this story, was apparently concerned with the idolization of the Virgin Mary and wrote: God came down from heaven, the Word clothed Himself with flesh from a holy Virgin, not, assuredly, that the Virgin should be adored, nor to make her God, nor that we should offer sacrifice to her name, nor that, now after so many generations, women should once again be appointed priests…Let no one adore Mary. (Epiphanius 49) Here we can see man coming into the monotheism, where Christian belief is today. The Virgin Mary does represent a mother archetype, although it is not as prevalent as Demeter and Isis. Mary’s character is more housed, in a way that can be controlled and can be put into guidelines. Just as times before, man wants what he cannot have. In Mary’s case, the forever virgin.
Man needs to realize that men and women are different, and each have wonderful traits. Though many of these archetypes are brought on by the unconscious mind, which is the portion of one’s psyche which is outside of awareness, those thoughts should be left at the realization that they are thoughts. These goddess or mother archetypes are brought into our societies to teach man and woman the values in each other. To restore balance in one’s lives. Demeter, she helped to explain strange occurrences in Greece as well as reveal the importance of woman’s traits to give life. Isis, she kept the Egyptian nation strong and united during her reign by being everything at once. Mary, she has had mercy brought into the Christian beliefs against the sometimes stern male God. All three characters are important throughout history, and have managed to keep their legends alive.

Adolescent Suicide in the United States
Adolescent Suicide in the United StatesName
Institution
Introduction
In 2006, the United States recorded comparatively high incidences of suicide among the young adults aged between 15-24. With 4000 mortality rates associated with adolescent suicide, it has become the third leading cause of death among the college-going teenagers aged between 12-18 years of age. According to the hospital discharge information from the Center of Disease and Control, more teenagers and young adults die from suicide than other ailments such as cancer, HIV/AIDs, birth defects and other chronic diseases. In a more break-down of the suicide death among these age groups, mortality statistics indicates that there are ten youth suicides in every 100, 000 each year in US. Between 2000-2010, the suicide rates among the young adults have been estimated to be 10.5 percent per 100,000 youths (Blum & Qureshi, 2011).
Although adolescent females will tend to commits suicide compared to the males, Youth Risk Behavior Survey show that 85 of suicide deaths are male young adults. The survey also indicated that different ethnic groups have suicide disparities with most suicide among the adolescents recorded on Hispanic youth and the Native Americans. Additionally, the survey shows that 13.8 percent of youth admitted to contemplating suicide in 2009, and 10.5 percent said that even had plans to commit suicide. Some of the methods used to commit suicide among the youth include firearms, suffocation, and poisoning (Blum & Qureshi, 2011).
For instance, reports from Indian adolescent suicide between 2006 and 2010 indicated that 53.9 percent of the young adults suicide died firearms, and 23 percent was as a result of suffocation. However, adolescent suicide has been a major concern for the pediatric population when providing Medicare and preventive measures to victims of suicide. The pediatricians are confronted with deal with the risk factors associated with adolescents suicide that include health problems, family factors, substance abuse, bullying and stress. It is important to note that due to cognitive and the development factors among the young adults, pediatrician should judge and assess the risk factors and provide immediate interventions (Blum & Qureshi, 2011).
Challenges Facing Pediatrician in Prevention of the Adolescent Suicide
Psychiatric Risk Factors
Psychiatric autopsy is the most significant and statistics indicate that 90 percent of all suicide among the adolescent have at least one diagnosis. Prevention and interventions measures are should be put in place by the clinicians especially for suicides associated with depression. Depression is most common in girls, but there have been other suicide attempts from young adults engaging in substance abuse. In addition, statistics shows that some suicide attempts are fueled by anxiety, combined with drug abuse, health problems and victimization by the peers (Garfinkel, 2014).
Family Factors
A family with a history of attempted suicide, drug abuse and sexual abuse can greatly influence the risk of attempted and contemplated suicide among the adolescent. Also, families that the history depression disorders or children have been physically abused have increased the risk of adolescent suicide (Garfinkel, 2014).
Stress Problem
The adolescent’s perception to events that bring stress can also contribute to suicide. For instance, the suicidal behavior is normally linked to the stressful events such as interpersonal conflicts, parent-child conflict and romantic problems among the old teens. Putting into mind how teens are impulsive, even small levels of stress can trigger suicide. Therefore, the pediatricians have a role to play in counseling and resolving conflicting parties among the adolescents (Garfinkel, 2014).
Evidenced-Based Programs for Suicide Prevention
In order to establish evidence-based interventions for preventing suicide among the adolescents, the Best Practice Registry (BPR) has implemented programs that borrow from two sources. They include National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREBPP) and SPRC/AFSP Evidence-Based Practices Project (EBPP). In addition, the literature research also provides a wide range of principles and processes that aim to create prevention interventions such as identifying risks and protective factors. Other changes include developing goals and objectives for monitoring cultures, setting up the language for counseling the target audience. The BPR planners must engage in systematic planning efforts to addresses the needs and the circumstances of the adolescent suicides and provide the necessary assistance (Garfinkel, 2014).
Changes Developed by the BPR for Effective Suicide Prevention Programs
Participating in the Systematic Planning Process
The systematic planning process includes community planning and multiple engagements of the stakeholders in assessing their needs and circumstances and creating interventions that match their problem. The goal of a systematic planning process is to identify the risk factors leading to adolescent suicide and conducting evaluation efforts for improvement of the intervention results (Capuzzi, & Golden, 2013).
Following Guidelines for Effective Prevention Practice
The suicide practitioners can benefit from a range of research work that focuses on prevention of problem related health and safety risks that lead to the adolescent suicide. For instance, prevention efforts identify the major areas of health and safety risk such as juvenile deliquescence and violence, school failures, substance abuse and the risk of sexual behavior. Furthermore, substance abuse has been divided into a number of domains for the ensuring best practice principles. They include community, family, peer, school, individual and the society at large (Capuzzi, & Golden, 2013).
Prevention Measure for Adolescent Suicide in United States
Strategies
The pediatricians can create awareness among the victims and communities that suicide is preventable and a public health problem. In addition, the practitioners can develop a broad-based support for adolescent prevention by selecting and training of medical workers to provide referral services to the suicide victims. They can also create strategies to cope up with the stigma that arises from the substance abuse and the mental health among the young adults. Through the prevention services, the practitioners can create connectedness and resilience with the victims and instill optimism in them (Capuzzi, & Golden, 2013).
Interventions
Direct talks
The World Health Organization encourage assessing the suicide thoughts by engaging the victims in a direct talk. Contrary to the misconception that trying to make the victims talk about their meditated suicide would lead to castigating the idea into action, the discussion is a way to show care and compassion. As such, the method gives assurance to the teenagers that other people care about them (Capuzzi, & Golden, 2013).
Nursing care in Adolescent Suicide Prevention
The Center of Disease Control reveals that the nurses are bringing positive changes in suicide prevention strategies. Nurses play an important role by evaluating the mental health of the suicide patients and providing the necessary care needed for a teen to open up their problems. In the United States, several prevention programs such as the Butler Foundation have engaged nurses in spearheading educational talks in schools such as in Ohio. For example, Cathy Strunk, who is the program coordinator the Surviving Teens in the United states, has developed train-the-trainer program to increase the number of nurses offering services to the suicide teen victims. The program was intended to link the teenagers and parents through the nurses in 2011 (Wood, 2011).
Conclusion
Many people often feel uncomfortable to talk about the issue of suicide because they are afraid that they will be blamed. Most suicide attempts remain behind the closed doors as the victims are usually not willing to share their problem. There is also the issue that talking about suicide can leave the families, and friends of the victim stigmatized. As a result, the problem of suicide is shrouded with secrecy and the victims do not receive interventions from the medical professionals. Nevertheless, research has uncovered a lot of information which can be used in prevention and intervention strategies.
