ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Our environment is constantly changing. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing. Current environmental problems make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future. Unless we address the various issues seriously we are surely doomed for disaster. Current environmental problems require urgent attention. 1. Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicle exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins responsible for pollution

cultural awareness., foreign languages. In methodology -case study: theory and real life together. The students of Business College know what they want and how to achieve that, how to present themselves ( in their terms "to sell themselves"). Both content and appearance matter. But: The students are overloaded with information. Team work ( derived from eastern cultures) is being introduced in performing home assignments and projects, but on the whole a student is on his own with his problems. There are no permanent groups of people visiting the same classes which contribute to networking and stronger ties between the members of the class, group, course, faculty. Individualistic approach to education as well leads to stress. According to the American statistics, 3 people out of ten suffer from depression. The tempo of life in the USA is very intense both for students and faculty. There is no time to read
Whatever seed you plant in the ground, nature will grow. Whatever thought seeds you plant in your mind, nature will grow as well. It is entirely up to you. ■ CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS Successful people are those who think more effectively than un- successful people. They approach their lives, relationships, goals, ccc_tracy_fm_i-xviii.qxd 7/7/03 3:23 PM Page xviii xviii ➤ INTRODUCTION problems, and experiences differently from others. They sow bet- ter seeds, and as a result they reap better lives. If you learn to think and act like other successful, happy, healthy, and prosperous people, you will soon enjoy the kind of lives they do. When you change your thinking, you change your life. Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors and
site that they’re redesigning, or a prototype of an app. I try using what they send me, doing the things that their users would need or want to do with it. I note the places where people are likely to get stuck and the things that I think will confuse them (an “expert usability review”). Sometimes I get other people to try using it while I watch to see where theyget stuck and confused (“usability testing”). I have a meeting with the client’s team to describe the problems I found that are likely to cause users grief (“usability issues”) and help them decide which ones are most important to fix and how best to fix them. Sometimes we work by the phone… …and sometimes in person I used to write what I called the “big honking report” detailing my findings, but I finally realized that it wasn’t worth the time and effort.

from them. Africa owes the West more money than we and our generations to come can pay. I arrived in America in December of 1967as an official of what we believed was going to be a dynamic African nation – the young Republic of Biafra. But Biafra was defeated and Nigeria remained one, as a giant of Africa. In the last 32 years, I have watched with horror and outright helplessness as the downward slide of the African race continues to escalate. But rather than address the problems, we resort to blaming the Caucasians, Asians and others for our misfortune. We are not men enough to accept responsibility for our actions. Africans blame either the British, French or little Portuguese/Spanish for their problems. Africans in America blame the Caucasians for all their problems, or any other ethic group they have allowed to take over their neighbours, a frequently recurring phenomena. Africans blame the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Group of 7, the

Another alternative is flower-boxes, attached to the windows or hanging flower-pots. Britain has many homeless people (280,000 as of 2019) who have to or choose to sleep outdoors or in temporary hostels. They also have their own magazine, the Big Issue, which talks about the problems of living in the streets. The Big Issue magazine currently sells over 83,000 copies in the UK every week. Vendors buy The Big Issue magazine for £1.25 and sell it for £2.50, meaning each seller is a micro-entrepreneur who is working, not begging. Therefore it is vitally important that buyers take their copy of the magazine when they pay for it. The British people have little deep-rooted attachment to their house as an object, or to the land on which it stands
