Is our society truly facing an "energy crisis", assuming by this term we mean that we are running out of energy? What is happening to our energy resources as a result of the increasing industrialization of the world?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Yes, our society is truly facing energ crisis.

Due to increase in consumption of energy sources like fossil fuels and oil and gas the conventional sources of energy are getting depleted rapidly whereas the cycle of their replenishment is very slow. Therefore, these all are not getting replenished as the consumption rate.

              Also, in terms of renewable energy sources the world has not made significant improvement. The power produced by renewable energy like wind, solar, tidal energy sources is much lesser compared to conventional sources.

           The industrialization of the world is increasing day by day. Along with GDP growth oil and energy consumtion has increased hand to hand. Thus the resources of energy are getting limited as a result of industrialization.

Another is that drug addicts often turn to robbery and other violent crimes to obtain the money needed to support their habit. To discourage the use of illegal drugs, the U.S. government devotes billions of dollars each year to reducing the flow of drugs into...

The term gender and sex are frequently confused as they are used interchangeably in our society. In an effort to avoid using the word sex, we now ask people for their gender on surveys and questionnaires. The choices are Male and Female which is incorrect for gender identity. If you are asking me my gender you should use Masculine and Feminine. It is a common issue in our society. How can society be helped to change their understanding of the...

At no time in our history have we been more medicated as a society than we are today.

Meanwhile, access to specialized services, especially for children, are practically nonexistent. Chapter 7 discusses several cognitive and psychiatric conditions, many of which are often treated with medication. Pretend you are the parent of a child with one of these conditions. You would want...

Think of all the lotions and potions available to keep us all looking and feeling young. It’s a billion dollar industry. TV, movies and magazines are filled with young people and often stereotype older adults. We are often surprised by people who “age well” because...
