Norway leads in their social programs and have found that higher taxes enable the government to provide more for their people in the long run.

In the documentary film Where to Invade Next by Michael Moore he visits a various number of countries across Europe to experience how Europeans view and handle certain social issues. He quickly notices how these views differ immensely from the way Americans see and handle these common issues such as education, healthcare, nutrition, and more.

d.) in order to protect the worldwide population of whales. I contend that the protection of whales, or any other species which are in danger of extinction is a positive and necessary step, but the protection of thriving species is unnecessary. Norway only allows whaling of minke whales (fisheries.no, 2013) and said species is considered to have a healthy stock of whales (IWC. n.d.). Japan hunts Minke, Humpback and Fin whales according to Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) (WDC. 2006), with…

Japan’s extensive history of whale fishing is noted by the findings of handcrafted artifacts that back to 10,000 B.C. These…

practice of hunting whales, I think Norway and Japan should have the right to hunt non-endangered whales provided they do so in an ethical and sustainable manner. Whaling has been a part of Norwegian culture since the 9th century and part of Japanese culture since the 12th century (Japan Whaling Association, 2002). I think an important part of achieving a global community is understanding and working with the cultures involved. Perhaps future generations in Japan and Norway will adopt views on…

a massive estate on his land for his family; “These two quarter-sections would make an estate more magnificent than the kings of old” (Rølvaag 108). Per Hansa’s ambition of creating such a massive estate for a common family is beyond ridiculous in Norway. However, in the United States he has a much better chance of accomplishing this dream; “America, that’s the country where a poor devil can get ahead!” (Rølvaag 219). Per Hansa’s ambition and belief in the opportunities of the prairie drives him…

The Growth of Electric Cars Up until the 20th century, electric cars were more abundant than traditional combustion engined cars. The combustion engine overtook the electric engine in popularity due to being more convenient to refuel and Henry Ford mass producing the Ford model T.
