October 4‚ 2012 Substance Abuse in the Workplace Substance abuse is a growing problem in the workplace. “Substance abuse is the repeated use of alcohol or drugs to the point that users develop personal problems and distress related to use.” (Giraffe‚ 2011) I am going to discuss the major problems with substance abuse and outline some mind-boggling statistics. Furthermore‚ I will relate substance abuse to a work environment I have been associated with and express the chaos I have witnessed from

For instance‚ various of animals in Africa are becoming extinct‚ and if numerous animals are in zoos younger children or people who never witnessed a “giraffe” or a “tiger” will finally get to experience one.

Evolution‚ Genes & the Environment Variation is when you refer to genes; it means that there is a large variety of phenotypes‚ alleles and genotypes which can sometimes cause genetic variation. This results in different physical characteristics. Some examples of variations in humans are eye colour‚ hair colour and gender.

There was also an Ethiopian man‚ who lived on the High Veldt with the Leopard; and the two would hunt together. Eventually the other animals realized they needed a change if they were going to survive‚ so they traveled to a new forest full of trees and leaves. Due to the shadows in the forest‚ the giraffe developed spots and the zebra developed stripes‚ which allowed them to blend in with their

dominant trait‚ while the weaker traits became recessive. A good example of what Darwin was trying to explain is shown in giraffes. Long-necked giraffes could reach the food on the trees‚ while the short-necked giraffes couldn’t. Since long necks helped the giraffes eat‚ short-necked giraffes died off from hunger. Because of this long-necks became a dominant trait in giraffes. This is what Charles Darwin would later call natural selection. <br> <br>Charles Darwin also showed how new species were

Discrimination against mothers in the workplace Before examining the how the workplace discriminates against mothers‚ one must acknowledge how the social construction of gender contributes to domesticity‚ or the gender system that organizes market work and family work. The social construction of gender is the belief that society‚ not biologically sex differences‚ is the foundation of gender identity (TAW 22). Even before a child is born‚ the social construction of gender is already in the works

idea that natural selection is the reason as to how and why things evolve. Mirvart uses the example of the neck of the giraffe to disprove Darwin’s theory. Suppose there is a drought which causes limitation on food supply. The Ungulates of that habitat would have to search for other ways to consume their food and the only food left is what can be found in trees. The nascent giraffe‚ being the largest among the Ungulates‚ have an advantage over Ungulates because they are able to feed from the trees
