Global Response feels it is very important to involve children in our letter-writing campaigns. In several cases, we learned that children’s letters made the biggest impact on decision makers. Writing letters also makes an impact on the children themselves. In the words of Lindsey Monicon of Michigan: “I am only 12 years old but I think that I can make a big change just as anyone older than me can.

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) addresses locally identified problems with natural resources. High priority is given to assistance where agricultural improvements will help meet water quality objectives. EQIP offers contracts that provide incentive payments and cost sharing for conservation practices, such as manure management systems, pest management, erosion control, and other practices to improve and maintain the health of natural resources.

The study will look at current health services, people's knowledge and practice of traditional healing medicine, and the conflict and overlap between them.

If you have a broad range of interests in the sciences and the humanities, Anthropology may be a good choice for you.

quot;Criminal anthropology" is the above-mentioned "scientific" discipline, which rested on the assumption that criminals (as well as non-European "savages") could be recognized by physical characteristics that indicated a more primitive state. The Italian physician Cesare Lombroso pioneered the discipline and for years prisoners were measured and their physical characteristics carefully recorded as data.

In general, the disciplines of sociology and anthropology describe the patterning, problems and prospects of human relationships. That is, they consider how and why people behave as they do, the implications of these patterns for other aspects of social life, and how new ways of living may be built and sustained. To some extent, sociology and anthropology share these commitments with other disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences -- i.e.
