Article Review 1

Reference Information: Mohami, Z., Aghmi, A., & Jolai, F. (2020). A green closed-loop supply chain design using a queuing system for reducing environmental impact and energy consumption. Journal of Cleaner Prction, 242, 118452. Retrieved from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/…

Purpose of Study: This artcle aims to study and bring out the knowledge of the reducing environmental effects formed by the impacts transport fleets because it has never been examined broadly in forward and reverse logistics suply chains. The article designs a green supply chain with both the forward and reverse logistic considerations to fill the gap that has never been investigated well. The article also uses the quuing system for optimization of the transport and waiting time of the fleets network.

Sampling Comments: Gren supply chains are one of the most efficient matters connected to the ecological effects, and a lot of researches have been done to confirm this (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020). Transport flees move products within the logistic centers and are among the vital factors rising the environmental consequences when moving products between the centers and waiting in the loading queue (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020).

Climate justice

/in ,

Climate change disproportionately affects communities of color; in the form of communities of color living near more polluted areas, poorer nations facing the brunt of the economic and ecological impact, etc. Racial inequality also means these communities that suffer the most adverse effects, also have the fewest resources to combat these issues. Now, more than ever, we need to work towards climate justice and an equitable future for everyone.

Prompt: Write a paper (3 page minimum – double spaced, Times New Roman 12, word doc) on how Climate Change Disproportionately Affects BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Communities. You should focus on finding papers that address this issue, summarize the key points and also provide a personal reflection on the topic.
Resource citations are not included in the page count.

Climate Change

/in

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review this Sample Final Paper GEN499 for additional guidance on the expectations of this assignment.

The topic of your essay needs to be a global societal problem from the following list:

Climate change
Pollution
Religious conflict and violence

Rise of artificial intelligence
Lack of education
Unemployment and lack of economic opportunity

Government accountability and corruption
Food and water security
International drug trafficking
Poverty and income inequality

Reflect: Based on the topic that you have chosen, you will need to use critical thinking skills to thoroughly understand how this topic can be a global societal problem and determine some logical solutions to the problem.

Write: This Final Paper, an argumentative essay, will present research relating the critical thinker to the modern, globalized world. In this assignment, you need to address the items below in separate sections with new headings for each.

In your paper,

Identify the global societal problem within the introductory paragraph.
Conclude with a thesis statement that states your proposed solutions to the problem. (For guidance on how to construct a good introduction paragraph, please review the Introductions & Conclusions (Links to an external site.) from the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).)
Describe background information on how that problem developed or came into existence.
Show why this is a societal problem.
Provide perspectives from multiple disciplines or populations so that you fully represent what different parts of society have to say about this issue.
Construct an argument supporting your proposed solutions, considering multiple disciplines or populations so that your solution shows that multiple parts of society will benefit from this solution.
Provide evidence from multiple scholarly sources as evidence that your proposed solution is viable.
Interpret statistical data from at least three peer-reviewed scholarly sources within your argument.

Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act

/in

Have legislative remedies, like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, produced results to mitigate negative externalities? At what cost? Have the benefits of the legislation outweighed the costs to industry? Identify and describe two additional measures that state and/or city governments are undertaking to reduce contributions to climate change by addressing degradation of air, land, and water (e.g., efforts in California, City of Phoenix).

2. As we examine our second discussion question, I wanted to offer a couple questions to help spur the conversation. Explain how expansionary monetary policy leads to inflation whereas monetary policy in the short and long run can influence real output.
