Just like I explained in the "Introduction to Racism", racism has played a big part in many major historical events and is a very horrible thing to have in this world. Who likes being discriminated against, anyway? A lot of people don't, but some people obviously don't know or don't care what they're doing to others when they discriminate against them. Seems awful, doesn't it? Try imagining you were a Jew in World War Two, and it just gets worse from there.

Pollution is wasting, to put it simply. Pollution is the thing that chips away at all biodiversity in the world – it is turning oxygen into carbon dioxide, releasing toxins into clean water, and putting garbage where flourishing plains used to be. Pollution is the thing that kills and forces 'survival of the fittest'.

One day, our world will be filled with landfills. One day, our world's sources of clean water will total to much less than 1% of all the water in the world. One day, the air we breathe will be the source of fatal sickness and death. All because of pollution. The definition of pollution has never changed. And this is for a reason. Pollution means something, that's not very specific. It is a wide subject that happens in reality. It is something that everybody wants to avoid. That is why there are certain types of pollution that pollution in general is categorized into.

Remember that our waters are polluted? The land with garbage and landmines? Our air with toxins and greenhouse gases? Our cities with noise and light? They are all different kinds of pollution, related to many kinds of waste. This website explains exactly what types of pollution there are, and gives handy information that you should always keep at your disposal (especially when writing an essay about pollution!)

Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment dirty and not safe or suitable to use. This can be done through the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, but the contaminant doesn't need to be tangible. Things as simple as light, sound and temperature can be considered pollutants when introduced artificially into an environment.

Toxic pollution affects more than 200 million people worldwide, according to Pure Earth, a non-profit environmental organization. In some of the world's worst polluted places, babies are born with birth defects, children have lost 30 to 40 IQ points, and life expectancy may be as low as 45 years because of cancers and other diseases. Read on to find out more about specific types of pollution.

Land pollution

Land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2014, Americans produced about 258 million tons of solid waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A little over half of the waste - 136 million tons- was gathered in landfills. Only about 34% was recycled or composted.

Organic material was the largest component of the garbage generated, the EPA said. Paper and paperboard accounted for more than 26%; food was 15% and yard trimmings were 13%. Plastics comprised about 13% of the solid waste, while rubber, leather and textiles made up 9.5% and metals 9%. Wood contributed to 6.2% of the garbage; glass was 4.4% and other miscellaneous materials made up about 3%.

Commercial or industrial waste is a significant portion of solid waste. According to the University of Utah, industries use 4 million pounds of materials in order to provide the average American family with needed products for one year. Much of it is classified as non-hazardous, such as construction material (wood, concrete, bricks, glass, etc.) and medical waste (bandages, surgical gloves, surgical instruments, discarded needles, etc.). Hazardous waste is any liquid, solid or sludge waste that contain properties that are dangerous of potentially harmful to human health or the environment. Industries generate hazardous waste from mining, petroleum refining, pesticide manufacturing and other chemical production. Households generate hazardous waste as well, including paints and solvents, motor oil, fluorescent lights, aerosol cans and ammunition.

Water pollution

Water pollution happens when chemicals or dangerous foreign substances are introduced to water, including chemicals, sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from agricultural runoff, or metals like lead or mercury. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 44% of assessed stream miles, 64% of lakes and 30% of bay and estuarine areas are not clean enough for fishing and swimming. The EPA also states that the United State's most common contaminants are bacteria, mercury, phosphorus and nitrogen. These come from the most common sources of contaminates, that include agricultural runoff, air deposition, water diversions and channelization of streams.

Water pollution isn't just a problem for the United States. According to United Nations, 783 million people do not have access to clean water and around 2.5 billion do not have access to adequate sanitation. Adequate sanitation helps to keep sewage and other contaminants from entering the water supply.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 80% of pollution in marine environment comes from the land through sources like runoff. Water pollution can also severely affect marine life. For example, sewage causes pathogens to grow, while organic and inorganic compounds in water can change the composition of the precious resource. According to the EPA, low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water are also considered a pollutant. Dissolved is caused by the decomposition of organic materials, such as sewage introduced into the water.

Warming water can also be harmful. The artificial warming of water is called thermal pollution. It can happen when a factory or power plant that is using water to cool its operations ends up discharging hot water. This makes the water hold less oxygen, which can kill fish and wildlife. The sudden change of temperature in the body of water can also kill fish. According to the University of Georgia, it is estimated that around half of the water withdrawn from water systems in the United States each year is used for cooling electric power plants.

"In nearly all cases, 90% of this water is returned to its source, where it can raise the water temperature in an area immediately surrounding the water discharge pipe. Depending on water flow, the water temperature quickly returns to ambient temperatures that do not harm fish." Donn Dears, former president of TSAugust, a not for profit corporation organization focused on energy issues, told Live Science.

Nutrient pollution, also called eutrophication, is another type of water pollution. It is when nutrients, such as nitrogen, are added into bodies of water. The nutrient works like fertilizer and makes algae grow at excessive rates, according to NOAA. The algae blocks light from other plants. The plants die and their decomposition leads to less oxygen in the water. Less oxygen in the water kills aquatic animals.

Air pollution

The air we breathe has a very exact chemical composition; 99% of it is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Air pollution occurs when things that aren't normally there are added to the air. A common type of air pollution happens when people release particles into the air from burning fuels. This pollution looks like soot, containing millions of tiny particles, floating in the air.

Another common type of air pollution is dangerous gases, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and chemical vapors. These can take part in further chemical reactions once they are in the atmosphere, creating acid rain and smog. Other sources of air pollution can come from within buildings, such as secondhand smoke.

Finally, air pollution can take the form of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide, which are warming the planet through the greenhouse effect. According to the EPA, the greenhouse effect is when gases absorb the infrared radiation that is released from the Earth, preventing the heat from escaping. This is a natural process that keeps our atmosphere warm. If too many gases are introduced into the atmosphere, though, more heat is trapped and this can make the planet artificially warm, according to Columbia University.

Air pollution kills more than 2 million people each year, according to a study published in the journal of Environmental Research Letters. The effects of air pollution on human health can vary widely depending on the pollutant, according to Hugh Sealy, professor and director of the environmental and occupational health track at the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, St. George's University, St. George's, Grenada. If the pollutant is highly toxic, the effects on health can be widespread and severe. For example, the release of methyl isocyanate gas at Union Carbide plant in Bhopal in 1984 killed over 2,000 people, and over 200,000 suffered respiratory problems. An irritant (e.g. particulates less than 10 micrometers) may cause respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular disease and increases in asthma. "The very young, the old and those with vulnerable immune systems are most at risk from air pollution. The air pollutant may be carcinogenic (e.g. some volatile organic compounds) or biologically active (e.g. some viruses) or radioactive (e.g. radon). Other air pollutants like carbon dioxide have an indirect impact on human health through climate change," Sealy told Live Science.

Noise pollution

Even though humans can't see or smell noise pollution, it still affects the environment. Noise pollution happens when the sound coming from planes, industry or other sources reaches harmful levels. Research has shown that there are direct links between noise and health, including stress-related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss. For example, a study bythe WHO Noise Environmental Burden on Disease working group found that noise pollution may contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths per year by increasing the rates of coronary heart disease. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA can regulate machine and plane noise.

Underwater noise pollution coming from ships has been shown to upset whales' navigation systems and kill other species that depend on the natural underwater world. Noise also makes wild species communicate louder, which can shorten their lifespan.

Light pollution

Most people can't imagine living without the modern convenience of electric lights. For the natural world, though, lights have changed the way that days and nights work. Some consequences of light pollution are:

Some birds sing at unnatural hours in the presence of artificial light.

Scientists have determined that long artificial days can affect migration schedules, as they allow for longer feeding times.

Streetlights can confuse newly hatched sea turtles that rely on starlight reflecting off the waves to guide them from the beach to the ocean. They often head in the wrong direction.

Light pollution, called sky glow, also makes it difficult for astronomers, both professional and amateur, to properly see the stars.

Plant's flowering and developmental patterns can be entirely disrupted by artificial light.

According to a study by the American Geophysical Union, light pollution could also be making smog worse by destroying nitrate radicals that helps the dispersion of smog.

Turning on so many lights may not be necessary. Research published by International Journal of Science and Research estimates that over-illumination wastes about 2 million barrels of oil per day and lighting is responsible for one-fourth of all energy consumption worldwide.

Other pollution facts:

Americans generate 30 billion foam cups, 220 million tires, and 1.8 billion disposable diapers every year, according to the Green Schools Alliance.

According to the WHO, ambient air pollution contributes to 6.7% of all deaths worldwide.

The Mississippi River drains the lands of nearly 40% of the continental United Sates. It also carries an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of nitrogen pollution into the Gulf of Mexico each year, resulting in a dead zone each summer about the size of New Jersey.

Pollution in China can change weather patterns in the United States. It takes just five days for the jet stream to carry heavy air pollution from China to the United States, where it stops clouds from producing rain and snow.

About 7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution, according to WHO. That is one in eight deaths worldwide.

Here's a website that the Australian Government made for Australian citizens about how to take care of racism. It suggests different ways to deal with racism that are effective even outside of Australia. I mean, what kind of bully likes it when their victim stands up to them? This website has perfect suggestions of exactly what to do and how to stand up to others' racism.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We've all been there. You see or hear something racist and you want to say or do something but you're not sure how to go about it.

It takes guts to stand up to racism - but you should never put your physical safety at risk. There are plenty of things you can do to make a difference that don't involve confrontation.
If you're on the receiving end of racism, you could...
Say something if it feels okay to do so. It doesn't have to be aggressive or abusive. In fact, it's often more effective if it's not. Here are some ideas suggested by young people.
"What you just said is really offensive and rude." "Please, have some respect for yourself and for others."
Say nothing. Sometimes people just want to provoke you and get a reaction. Walking away may defuse the situation.
Report it. Call the police on 000 if you feel threatened or unsafe at any time.
Online: Most social media sites have policies for dealing with offensive material. For example Facebook allows you to report content that breaches its terms of use. You can get more information about cybersafety here.

At school: Talk to a teacher, counsellor or student welfare officer.

On public transport: Let the bus driver or station guard know what's going on.

"Unlike" it. Check out www.antihate.vic.gov.au for messages you can post in response to 'haters' online.

​ Talk to someone. Get advice and support from friends, teachers or parents.

"I spoke to my teacher about what happened to me. He couldn't help me too much, but I felt much better when someone was willing to hear and believe what I had experienced".
- Rob, 15
If you see racism towards someone else...
Make a complaint. The Australian Human Rights Commission can investigate and resolve complaints where people have been treated unfairly, harassed or abused because of their race. Our complaints process is free and confidential. You can also contact us to discuss an issue and talk through your options. For more information go to http://www.humanrights.gov.au/complaints-information.

Go and sit or stand next to them. Ask them if they're okay.

Send the victim a message of support through Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email.

Check out https://backmeup.somethingincommon.gov.au to see videos made by young people across Australia showing how to support someone dealing with cyber bullying.

Back them up. You don't have to get involved in the situation - just showing your support would make a difference.

Say something if it feels ok to do so. Check out this YouTube video for ideas for what to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Ti-gkJiXc

Report it. If the person who is experiencing the abuse needs help, you could help them report it to the police or a person in charge. You could also support them to make a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission. For more information go to http://www.humanrights.gov.au/complaints-information
Take your own stand.
Encourage the victim to get support. There are some great organisations that offer support in dealing with difficult situations, like Kids Helpline and ReachOut.com

Google and Gender Inequality. Who would find a speck of similarity except the Department of Labor? Seriously. Google, what are you hiding? Are you hiding something? I guess there's no reason for Google to hide any confidential files of theirs unless they have secrets to hide, or unless they're genuinely concerned about their employees' privacy, which is a very rare thing to come across in companies, especially big ones like Google.

Wonder if the Department of Labor has a nasty surprise in for them this time? Or... not?

A compliance matter has turned into an accusation about salary equality

Christian Hartmann / Reuters

On Friday, The Guardian reported that during a hearing at the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges, the U.S. government accused Google of violating federal employment laws by allowing pay discrepancies between men and women in the company. According to the publication, Janette Wipper, the DOL's regional director for the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, claims that Google's labor practices include "systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce."

Why Is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?
The Department of Labor initially filed a lawsuit against Google back in January, over the release of records related to the company's compliance with the equal opportunity laws required of federal contractors. Google was selected randomly for an audit, and the lawsuit alleges that Google refused to hand over the requested data.

This news comes just days after Google announced that the company has closed its gender pay-gap globally-a problem for companies throughout Silicon Valley-in a tweet celebrating Equal Pay Day*:

Let's make every day #EqualPayDay. All employers can take steps to eliminate the gender and race pay gaps, today → https://t.co/KTuGTJMV16 pic.twitter.com/rBciSK21uF
- Google (@Google) April 4, 2017

"We vehemently disagree with Ms Wipper's claim. Every year, we do a comprehensive and robust analysis of pay across genders and we have found no gender pay gap. Other than making an unfounded statement which we heard for the first time in court, the DOL hasn't provided any data, or shared its methodology," a spokesperson for Google said in a statement. As for their refusal to hand over the records, the company has said that the government's requests were too broad and would have required divulging confidential employee information.

Gender Inequality is the closest issue to my heart that I can identify clearly. That's very close already. Women especially. They've been abused, stripped of rights and murdered ruthlessly. I'm not saying that men haven't been, but that's more man-to-man, not woman-to-man with the woman having an upper hand.

For starters, men are physically stronger. Some of the bad people out there, especially men, well... they take advantage of that. They force women to do their bidding, and when resistance comes along some of the cruelest beat them senseless, or kill them... it sounds awful? Well I'll think that it is. It's sexist, for one. More girls than men are having this problem. That means that more men are being abusive towards their children, wives or complete strangers.

Think about the Women's Rights Movement. Women and girls, all protesting. For their rights. Maybe it turned out like every other peaceful movement, with people getting thrown into jail, or worse, shot by violent police officers. Probably did. It's not like police are going to just stand there and cheer for the women. At least a few of them would drag the women and children away. Think about that. Just because you want something that you deserve, you get thrown in jail for who knows how long and maybe shot.

That. Is. Unfair.

Don't comply with forced marriage. Don't just go along with it. It's wrong. That's why I'm doing my Exhibition inquiry about it, or something close to it that touches my heart– basically gender inequality. It is wrong but not exposed, and that makes it even more wrong, if that makes sense. There's some interesting websites that the governments of the world make, and I think this is one of them.

Contact the Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) if you're trying to stop a forced marriage or you need help leaving a marriage you've been forced into.

Call 999 in an emergency.

A trained professional will give you free advice on what to do next.

They can also help you:

find a safe place to stay

stop a UK visa if you've been forced to sponsor someone

What forced marriage is

You have the right to choose who you marry, when you marry or if you marry at all.

Forced marriage is when you face physical pressure to marry (for example, threats, physical violence or sexual violence) or emotional and psychological pressure (for example, if you're made to feel like you're bringing shame on your family).

If you're under 18 any marriage is considered a forced marriage, even if there is no physical or emotional pressure involved.

Forced marriage offences

Forced marriage is illegal in England and Wales. This includes:

taking someone overseas to force them to marry (whether or not the forced marriage takes place)

arranging a marriage for someone who lacks mental capacity (whether they're pressured to or not)

arranging a marriage for someone before they turn 18

Forcing someone to marry can result in a sentence of up to 7 years in prison.

Forced marriage protection orders

You can ask the court for a forced marriage protection order.

Each order is unique, and is designed to protect you according to your individual circumstances. For example, the court may order someone to hand over your passport or reveal where you are.

In an emergency, an order can be made to protect you immediately.

Disobeying a forced marriage protection order can result in a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

Forced marriage abroad

Contact the FMU if you think you're about to be taken abroad to get married against your will.

If someone you know is at risk

Contact the FMU if you know someone who's been taken abroad to be forced into marriage.

Give as many details as you can, for example:

where the person has gone

when they were due back

when you last heard from them

The FMU will contact the relevant embassy.

If they're a British national, the embassy will try to contact the person and help them get back to the UK if that's what they want.

Support for victims

Read the handbook about being a survivor of forced marriage. It has details of organisations that can give you help and advice.

Get support if you're a victim of forced marriage in Scotland.

Air Pollution is a major problem. I mean, we're breathing in oxygen, breathing out CO2, farting, chopping down the trees that keep that last bit of oxygen alive... and a teenager's going to go, "Yo, bro! What've we got 'ere? Killing ourselves with some gas? No exaggeration, you sure?"

I'm perfectly serious. I'm looking into the air, and I'm seeing pollution floating around. Smog, smoke, greenhouse gases all in one. Our world is a monstrous place that we don't recognise for what it is.

People that are racists place people in categories based on their skin colour. There's two main ones: Black and White, which is basically African American and English respectively. Sometimes, there's a 'yellow' for the Chinese. However, they discriminate between them, and certain categories are considered better than others. For example, a racist might think it better to be 'white' instead of 'black' or 'yellow'.
There are many documented events where people have been categorised into their skin colours and sorted into different places, often ripping families apart. People that were 'half-and-half' in between two skin colours were in another place, sometimes. This can be very upsetting.
When people such as Martin Luther King Jr. fought for their rights, people rebelled. They didn't want everybody to live together. People got injured, even killed. Sometimes the police were lax with the people that abused the campaigners, and some of the police even supported this cause! Why is skin colour such a big deal to racists? Even sometimes today, we can see examples of racism. Why can't we stop? From the way I look at it, racism seems like drugs. Once you get into it, you can't stop...
