In this article the author discusses the impact of the resources boom in Western Australia. The discussion was focus on mining boom that affect population and labour market in Western Australia. The author uses various methods developed by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences in analysing labour market and population changes. Garnett says the boom has increased economic and population growth. Moreover it also reduced unemployment rates in Western Australia. On the other hand, this condition also increased social and economic problem such as increasing need for social infrastructure and facilities. Her main

recommendation to solve these problem is to develop policies and programmes that support labour market needs and their amenities.
The conclusion of this article is too general, but overall this article is very good. The sentence structure
Is effective and easy to understand.

The authors collected and analysed data from 71 mining areas in Australia, and then they use statistical method to find relationship between gross value of mineral production and quality of life indicators. They found that mining activities have positive impact on regional income, employment, communication access and education. In contrast it has negative impact on life expectancy. The main limitation of this paper is that there is no causality test between all of life indicators as an independent variables and mining activity as dependent variable. In this case the authors only focus to show positive or negative relation between dependent and independent variables. They main recommendation to solve the problems is to do causality test between variables. Furthermore they also suggest to provide comprehensive measurement on other indicator. The result of this paper have strong connection with the Garmett’s article. This paper will be a good source for my article

Brueckner, M, Durey, A, Mayes, R, & Pforr C, ‘The mining boom and Western Australia’s changing landscape: Towards sustainability or business as usual?’, Rural Society, vol. 2, issue 2, pp. 111-124 This research article explore the effect of mining industries toward environmental, economic and social problem in Australia. Brueckner et al try to analyse the problem by using multi-disciplinary perspective. The research focus on how to maintain mining activities sustainable in the future, The authors use data gained from academic literature, government sources and community based-research. The limitation of this article is it discuss many aspect but not very detailed. This article is thus less relevant to my review.

Australia’s resources otherwise known as factors of production – natural resources, labour, capital and enterprise, are relatively scarce, resulting in the economic problem of relative scarcity as we cannot satisfy all our needs and wants in Australia as they are unlimited. Collective and individual wants are
Media. The main means of mass communication regarded collectively. It comes in the form of t.v., radio, newspapers, magazines etc. The media has a way of portraying a story in a way that they want it to be seen by audiences. In other words, the media only tells us only what they want us to hear; which, may or may not be the truth or include the entire story. The media is always looking for the next best story and the competition to be the first one on the scene can be intense. A documentary by 9.14 Productions tells the story of a man and his art collection; The Barnes Foundation.
Is this additional expense necessary? Why or why not? Yes, this additional expense is necessary and mining affects the plant and animal population, hydrological cycle. And it’s necessary to maintain this for sustainable development. Q5.
People now had the chance to look for gold out west and the Gold Rush began. This is when America really had its boom. Lastly, we now have twice as much, if not more, natural resources than we had before.

This article argues that there is a clear understanding of what crimes the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) measures. Citizens and the police are both in general agreement about what a serious crime is as it involves many different factors that make it a serious crime. The police and citizens are both part of the decision making process when classifying an incident as an index crime. The decision making process involves the following steps that are taken: defined by the victim, determined by the police, obvious accounts for most of the changes in whether a crime should be reported and officially recorded, personal characteristics of the offender, and the effects suffered by the victim. Studies show that crimes are reported to the police because the victim was greatly affected by the crime committed. Studies even show that not all crimes are reported to the police because the victim has a reason not to. I intend to use this article for my research to for my research project to explain why victims would report or not report a crime to the police.

Reducing the stigma in special education is a very important topic because the stigma effects so many people. There are many ways stigma could be reduced. Some examples of those ways could be educators being required to have special education training or properly integrating special education and general education. Proper training of educators in the special education field would make students feel less intimidated by professors and teachers alike and more likely to step up for themselves and their education. Properly integrating special education and general education could possibly end the bullying of kids with special needs because integrating the education could show the general education students that they are no different from the special education students.
Though it has had many negative impacts on the environment in the past, mining is a vital industry completely necessary to our economy and lives. Nearly every item we use or encounter in our day to day lives is mined or contains mined products. Without the excavation of such materials things like computers, televisions, large building structures, electricity, and cars would not be possible. Virtually every technological and medical advance uses minded materials, without which millions would suffer. Some examples of minerals in the home include the telephone which is made from as many as 42 different minerals, including aluminum, beryllium, coal, copper, gold, iron, silver, and talc. A television requires over 35 different minerals, and more than 30 minerals are needed to make a single personal computer. Without boron, copper, gold and quartz, your digital alarm clock would not work. Every American uses an average 47,000 pounds of newly mined materials each year, which is higher than all other countries with the exception of Japan, which is a staggering figure representative of our dependence and need for mined minerals. Coal makes up more than half of nation’s electricity, and will continue to be the largest electrical supplier into 2020 & accounting for some 95 percent of the nation's fossil energy reserves – nine of every ten short-tons of coal mined in the United States is used for electricity generation. As the population of the world grows more mineral resources must be exploited through mining in order to support the rising demand for such products. Though it may present a hazard to the environment and those physically located nears the mines, the materials extracted from mines...

Mining is the process or industry of obtaining minerals from the earth. Topics in this paper I’ll be specifically discussing are pros and cons of mining, structures of a mine, mining in general, California gold rush, diamonds in Africa, and comparison of diamond and gold mines.
