I need some assistance with these assignment. article review of the social order and violent disorder: an analysis of north carolina in the revolution and the civil war Thank you in advance for the help! Article Review of The Social Order and Violent Disorder: An Analysis of North Carolina in the Revolution and the Civil War

This article goes an extra mile to explain how the two approaches recommended by Eckstein can be used to explain the complicated reasons for the violence. It explains the two approaches separately as the structural and the behavioral hypotheses. The structural hypotheses explain the general characteristics the society exhibits that can explain the reason for internal war. The behavioral hypotheses on the other hand discuses the society’s perception and studies how the social circumstances were tolerable at a particular place and time, but could not be tolerated somewhere else leading to war. The authors however do not seem to have their points well spelt out. On top of that, the thesis is stated half way into the paper while according to the standard format, the thesis should be at least somewhere at the beginning of the paper so that a reader can have a clear understanding of what the author wants to focus on. In addition, there seems to be several points of focus and not just one particular point that one can point out as the main thesis. Apart from that, the paper does not seem to have a flow as the points appear mixed up and one has to keep jumping bits on the paper in order to understand the points the authors are trying to outline. In their explanations, especially on the hypotheses stated by the quoted author, they focused on one reference, which should not be the case since the author might have a biased view.

Need help with my writing homework on Population geographies. Write a 500 word paper answering; Urbanization and Emergence of Global Cities The modern world is currently experiencing an unprecedented urban growth. The movement of people or goods is the major characteristic of the present globalized world. Researchers point out that in 2008, more than half of the total world’s population resided in cities and towns. However, this figure will swell to about 5 billion people. Urbanization is mostly concentrated in Asia and Africa. As such, this paper will analyze urbanization and the emergence of global cities.

Population shift movement from one locality area to another has been a major element in the spread of knowledge, technology and culture. This movement is often termed as migration. Population movement is categorized under the micro and macro levels. Macro migration refers to the movement of people from one country to another while micro refers to people moving from one region or area to another. A population movement is as a result of the pull (voluntary) and pushes (non-voluntary) factors. While major cities are a focal point of public attention, urbanization will be concentrated in the smaller cities, which have inadequate resources to cater for the needs of the new urban population. In most countries, the total number of urban dwellers continues to swell at a higher rate than the cities’ or towns’ capacities to provide water, jobs, sanitation, houses, and other essential services.

The UN states that the unemployment rate of immigrants in urban areas is higher than in rural areas. It is only about 40% of the immigrants who have access to good jobs. Consequently, many people are forced to fend for themselves by entering the informal sector, or turning to crime and prostitution. Due to high unemployment levels, some of the urban dwellers are forced to build their houses since they cannot afford to pay rent. These shanties give rise to slums within the urban environment. Slums lack sewerage, waste disposal and water facilities.

Accessibility of clean water in the urban areas is a necessity everywhere. Unlike in developed countries where the urban population has access to clean water, third world countries lack this basic need or commodity. In Africa, 26 % of the urban population has access to clean water. 29% of the Asian urban population has access to clean water whereas, in South America, only a paltry 12% have access to clean water.

The movement of people from rural to urban areas (mostly in developing countries) is among the most common visible trends today. According to the United Nations data, 60% of the world’s population will be urbanized by the year 2025. This will result in the creation of mega cities or towns with a huge population of more than ten million people. These movements can be caused by pull factors. For example, urban areas offer a more conducive environment for resolving or tackling both environmental and social problems. Unlike rural areas, cities and towns offer good education and healthcare services. These pull factors contribute to the urbanization trend.

The pace of urbanization will only be reduced by empowering women, lowering poverty and providing quality services to the rural population (McCarthy, 2005). As a result of urbanization, cities have turned to be interconnected. These cities have transformed from isolated towns or areas to an integrated community, ruled by cultural, ecological and economic interdependencies. Global cities have been fuelled by technological networking, global communication and the ever expanding transport routes and systems. The transformation of cities into global cities has impacted the urban population mostly positively. The UNFPA is tasked with designing policies that can address various needs of different demographic groups in towns and cities especially in developing countries.

Write a 2 pages paper on three men in a boat. Order 539083 Topic: Three Men in a Boat The wise saying goes that if health is lost everything is lost. The friends in “The Three Men in a Boat” precisely believe that. They are deeply worried about ‘the state of their health’ and feel that their bodies are afflicted with every type of diseases. For arriving at that decision, they have not consulted medical specialists, but made the detailed and profound self-study of the medical books in a library. Jerome K. Jerome (2010, p.5) writes about the observation of one of the friends thus: “I had walked into that reading-room a happy, healthy man. I crawled out a decrepit wreck.” This situation happens when one tries to assimilate the knowledge on a subject on which one is not competent of assimilating! The contents of this book, written about a century ago are prophetic as for the thinking of majority of the humankind and the medical fraternity (especially the western medical system.) Even for small ailments people visit the doctors and the doctors create a grim situation on small health issues to extract as many dollars from the patients, as is possible! The overall merit of the book is– the serious issues are commented in a humorous style. It contains lots of practical philosophical advice, told in a subtle manner. The three men in the boat are George, Harris and the narrator, who are great hypochondriacs—they are convinced that they are suffering from every type of diseases, even though there is nothing wrong with their physical equipment as such. Even in the so-called grim situation of their lives, their-self assessment about the state of health evokes ironic laughter. Jerome writes, “I sat and pondered. I thought what an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view, what an acquisition I should be to a class! Students would have no need to “walk the hospitals,” if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need do is to walk round me, and, after that, take their diploma.”(p.4) To recoup their original health, the friends decide to take a cruise down the Thames in a rented boat, to remain one with the nature. The book contains many comical elements and situations, but from the point of view of present day life, which is the subject matter of this essay, I would say that poor understanding of their state of health is comparable to the present day health management understood and practiced by humankind and the medical fraternity. The Victorian attitude towards health issues is corroborated in the book. That such an outlook about health matters should exist in the 1880s England is incredible. The book was written in the year 1888. It contains valuable piece of advice to individuals about taking proper care about health. For change of climate and for rest and recuperation, people go to hill stations in the present times. The three Victorian youngsters thought of a voyage through the Thames River, which was a good thought. Boating and river environment is good for health, and the tired mind is invigorated. The author’s explanation about the poor imagination and knowledge of the youngsters about their health issues is comparable to the attitudes of the modern youngster. Consumption of junk food, not doing regular physical exercises, not taking seasonal fruits and vegetables, are some of the habits that extend invitation to illnesses. The Victorian youngsters also must be careless about their lifestyles. They lack discrimination and their serious belief that they have incurable ailments makes them to plan a remedial measure– boating on the River Thames! Works Cited Jerome, Jerome, K.

 

write an article on Brazils Rise and Its Effect on the Globe. It needs to be at least 3250 words.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Brazils Rise and Its Effect on the Globe. It needs to be at least 3250 words. Brazil’s relations with the USA have generally been favorable but it pursues its own objectives and interests rather than aligning them with those of the USA. Brazil’s future in the global arena is dependent on its increasing economic clout which is further increasing due to it being the largest producer of sugar ethanol.

Brazil has been active in the international front since the 1920s. Brazil was one of the countries that founded the League of Nations as well as the United Nations. Brazil is a member of various international treaties and organizations including IMF, WTO, Organization of American States, WTO and ADB among many others. Brazil has been prominent in UN peacekeeping missions and as growing economic power aims to acquire a permanent seat in the UN Security Council. (A. Hudson)

Brazil is the largest country in South America and this makes it one of the most important countries in the continent. Brazil’s relations with its neighbors have been complicated due to its size, economic development and increasing power. Brazil’s major border issues were resolved by the early twentieth century however. border issues with Columbia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Paraguay are unresolved. Brazil has always been at the forefront of regional cooperation and security. It offers credit transfers and scholarships to Latin American students at some of its universities. Brazil held the conference where the Rio Treaty was ratified in 1947. Among other initiatives, Brazil participated in the inter-American peace force in 1965 and in 1991 the Treaty of Asuncion, led to the end o the rivalry between Argentina and Brazil after 160 years of hostility. (A. Hudson)

US-Brazil relations have been fraught with complexities. The USA was the first state to establish a consulate in Brazil in 1808. After 1945, the USA became a major trading partner of Brazil. It became an avid supporter of Brazil’s economy, policies and growing prominence in the continent and in the world.&nbsp.
