.... left the land exposed to the danger of erosionby the winds that constantly sweep over the sea. Beginning in the early thirties, the region suffered a period of severe droughts, and the soil began to blow away. The organic matter, clay, and slit in the soil were carried great distances by the winds, in some cases darkening the sky as far as the Atlantic coast, and sand and heavier materials drifted against houses, fences, and barns. IN many places eight to ten centimeters of soil were blown away. Millions of hectares of farmland became useless, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their lands, and homes. The Dust Bowl lasted about a decade .....

The values of the Greek Society share some of the responsibility for the deaths. The values of the Greek culture are that women are subservient to men. If a man thought that their wife is no longer pleasing them, the Greek Society allows the man to take another women in their bed. An example of this situation is when Medea’s husband, Jason, leaves her for Kroen’s daughter. By Jason leaving Medea for Kreon’s daughter, she falls into a desperate state of depression. She becomes emotionally and physically unstable. Her heart is engulfed with violent .....

.... restrictions of one child per family. China has been trying to solve this problem in many ways. It has put a restriction on the number of children a family can have, which is one. This for some families who are wealthy enough isn’t a problem. China has also looked to importing food, but this has had a dramatic effect on the world’s trade prices. If China continues to import food the international prices will skyrocket resulting in developing countries being unable to import food. In addition to importing food China has also been researching and developing so called “super rice”. This “super rice” has an increased amount of seeds on it when it mature .....

.... allowed him to reach his goal. Organizations are faced with taking risks in stages to succeed just as Columbus took the risk to explore new lands.

These basis or conditions are quite similar to the ones an organization has, such as the knowledge of its own products, competitors, barriers and the whole environment. To take risks one must be confident of the facts that take place in certain situations; therefore, the power to convince becomes a reality to the decision takers. Columbus convinced the Spanish sovereigns through an elaborate plan to win much more than .....

.... government lost power to the local landowners who employed their own armed forces. The heads of these armed forces were known as the "bushi" or "samurai", and were for the most part descended from the old clans (Sato, 1995).

This trend became more and more apparent as time went on. The samurai no longer believed that being a good warrior was all that was necessary. The samurai now belie .....

Although the Greeks had managed to force Persians retreat from the Greek mainland, the danger of reconquest by the Persians was still present. In the battle of Plataea (479 BC), the Greeks, under the Spartan regent and general Pausanians, obliterated the Persian army. The Greeks also won a naval victory at Mycale. Although the war drugged on for many years, these two victories marked the end of the Persian threat to Europe and the beginning of the period of Greek greatness.
