Morality Of A Carbon Tax: Transition To A Sustainable Economy, Timothy Lamendola Apr 2015

Morality Of A Carbon Tax: Transition To A Sustainable Economy, Timothy Lamendola

Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal

A carbon tax is needed to address the negative externalities caused by carbon emissions. Increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have a direct and negative impact on net social benefit to current and future generations. Our current human population has a moral obligation to future generations and, therefore, is responsible for excess burning of fossil fuels. This essential carbon tax is needed to help wean humans off their fossil fuel reliance.

“I Love Lucy” Gender Analysis And Its Influence On Popularity And Longevity, Brianna Knoll

This thesis takes an analytical approach to examine the television show I Love Lucy. The contributing factors to the show’s continued success are considered, including Lucille Ball’s comedic style, domesticity and the role of housewives, marital relations, pregnancy on television, and the larger gender representations with a subtopic of social norms. Upon studying the above aspects of I Love Lucy, it is clear that each topic played an essential role in the success of the show.

The Economic And Financial Effect Of Single Parent Homes, Douglas Sidey

A crisis is facing the American population today because of the growing prevalence of single parent homes.

Entrepreneurship As A Sign Of Common Grace, Bruce D. Baker Apr 2015

Entrepreneurship As A Sign Of Common Grace, Bruce D. Baker

SPU Works

Entrepreneurship benefits society in many ways. It delivers obvious and tangible economic blessings.

Viewed from the perspective of common grace, we can see that entrepreneurship bears witness to the beauty, creativity, power and the responsibility bestowed upon God’s image …
