FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).

water pollution is taking place rapidly that from the "Middle Ages, it is worth noting that after World War II, the type of pollution involved changed significantly..... [using water the] Industries began manufacturing and using synthetic materials such as plastics"(pollution issues.com) using machines like steam engine and other sources that is used during the Victorian age industrial revolution.

not only in the Victorian age but dating back to "in ancient Rome, sewers carried human waste into the Tiber River. By 312 B . C . E . the river was so polluted the Romans had to construct aqueducts to obtain clean drinking water."(pollutionissues.com) shows that he importance of water was not understood but taken granted as a mere sewage holder

the water pollution outbreak not only in Rome  but led to "the catalyst for many typhoid and cholera outbreaks throughout the centuries, in many parts of the world."(pollutionissues.com) the water was not safe to drink for Romans so the exposure was unable to ignore from Rome it invaded around the world

as time pass by the disease outbreak was not only Rome or but "In 1854, a devastating cholera outbreak gripped the Soho part of London, centering around the Broad Street well."(polltionissues.com) the importance of water pollution and to stop them did not occur to london or any part of Europe until mid nineteenth century

the situation in Ohio becomes the victim of water pollution"  In 1969, chemical waste released into Ohio's Cuyahoga River caused it to burst into flames and the waterway became a symbol of how industrial pollution was destroying America's natural resources."(History.com) the situation in water pollution can hart the people around so much that it will be unpredictable of the outcome.

recent investigation shows that before was London and other part of the Europe that has been polluted uncontrollably but now in 2007 " China is a perfect case in point. According to Greenpeace, around 70 percent of China's lakes and rivers are now polluted from industrial waste, leaving 300 million people 'forced to rely on polluted water supplies.'"( history.com)

measures was taken to secure the water after the Ohio incident such as "In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act to reduce water pollution"(history.com) but still it had ill effect on the people because as years go by the people forget about the acts and such that hasn't been enforced for a long time.

the industrial age has a little effect on us even though we have new technology to prevent such problem from occurring "In 2006, the Environmental News Service (ENS) reported that "more than 62 percent of industrial and municipal facilities across the country discharged more pollution into U.S. (history.com)

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).

from the article its is argued that "The world's rivers are so badly affected by human activity that the water security of almost 5 billion people, and the survival of thousands of aquatic species, are threatened, scientists warned ."(guardian.co.uk) the threat have gotten in that level that not only hazardous for aquatic life but for us as well.

according to professor Peter McIntyre not only Asia or Africa also "What made our jaws drop is that some of the highest threat levels in the world are in the United States and Europe," said Prof Peter McIntyre, one of the lead authors, who began the project as a Smith Fellow at the University of Michigan."(guardian.co.uk) this is a chain reaction that is leading not only to the developing world but also to the rich world

our influences and desire is affecting the way we live which is equal to pushing for further devastation"The team behind the report, published in the journal Nature, examined datasets to produce a map of how 23 different human influences – such as dams, the introduction of alien non-native fish, and pollution – affect water security and biodiversity. Previous studies have tended to look at just one influence at a time" this study shows our nature that is like a mirror reflecting but we refuse to look at it.

similer to water threats around developing countries but also "more than 30 of the 47 largest rivers showed at least moderate threats to water security, due to a range of human impacts such as pollution and irrigation."(guardian.co.uk) human impacts have a lot of influence on other countries and their way of thinking.

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?


I will gather information about their articles on water pollution and threats on the environment since i am working about human impact on the environment this also other website included will help me very much on my project.

Senior Project Proposal

I am going to talk about other topic rather than the one before.

What about this topic appeals to you? Why did you choose it?

I chose human impact on environment. It appeals to me as an issue that we never consider to be as important as it needed to be, so I want to go deeper in to the problem and investigate the possibilities of solutions we can acquire to actually solve the problem.

What do you already know about this subject?

I know already that concentrating on the whole world than its a huge issue that I need to focus on. As I look at it based on the wastes that human make its something we cannot avoid. Also based on the industrial impact.

What are you hoping to learn about the subject?

I want to learn  how to approach the problem with the better thought solution that I hope will work out as a solution that everyone can do it and abide by it.

What are you most interested in regarding the topic?

I am interested in how we can be really dependent on the resources that is provided for us yet when finished applying we waste the part that we don't need.

                                                                                                                                                

What potential risks or challenges do you foresee for your project?

I see that it will be challenging to figure out how many things can cause the impact as worse as it is. Also the support I need for this Project from internet, books, also people that are expert in it. 

5 things I believe...

1. I believe that there are countless ways to approach people about religion than exposing their strength in violent way
2. I Believe the affect of using fossil fuel as the only source for energy is tremendous but people are not noticing about it
3. I believe that students are not confirm on their own judgement that's why they give up their selves in order to fit in.
4. I believe there are more to it then meets the eye in other word in reality there tragic stories related to diamonds in Africa then the stories that show up in TV
5. I believe that rather watching teen moms and other reality shows in TV people, mostly students of high school should encounter the harsh environment and rather take a step toward to prevent it .

1. Mom always says that Islam is a very beautiful religion.When I saw the movie Kite Runner it completely turned me around about the knowledge and wisdom that I received about Islam. In the movie the example that affected me deeply is the way the people were treat themselves and the people that were treated around them. In there a man and women "committed" a sin by having sex first then getting married. But before even doing that they were taken out of their house and into a stadium. There were also people from that were dragged from the street and made to watch, as it went on the Taliban people threw rocks at the women then at the man. The people who conduct prayers in the mosque says as a Muslim you should surrender themselves to the commitment of serving even thinking about nothing other than God and the rules if not then meet the consequences. But I believe there are better approach of talking or showing about Islam then make people witnessing something awful
