Their are some with dissabilities that dont cope so well and experience failure through out their life and dissapointment. People who have been exposes to negative things such as disability, child or sexual abuse or poverty are more likely to experience a long term effect on those who have not been exposed to those things.Although, through research it shows that many people maintain healthy personalities and become successful adults. People with learning dissabilities have a higher risk of dropout rates, underemployment, lack of job oppurtunities, as well as social and emotional problems. A strategy to overcome one's learning dissability and be successful is being persistant. One person even said, "If I wasn't a little bit stubborn, I don't think I'd be where I am today." Even researches say that, "perhaps the most striking characteristic of the successful adults with LD is persistance." Another strategy with successful people with learning dissabilities are developed self Indepence and being able to stand up for yourself. The ability to stand up for your self is a very critical characteristic for one with a learning dissability to have.

Global Issue
West, Larry. "Billions of People Face Food Shortages Due to Global Warming, Study Warns." About.com. 08 Mar. 2009 .
Larry West discusses the possibility of food shortages by the end of this century. In the novel, Science says that the rising temperatures shorten the growing season in tropics which increase the risk of drought, and the reducing harvests of dietary things such as rise and corn by 2o to 40 percent. Global warming will have a greater impact in the tropics and subtropics more than the rest of the world because crops are not as able to adapt to climate change and food shortages are already occurring due to increase in population. Even Scientists at Stanford University and the University of Washington who worked on the study, discovered that by 2100 there will be a 90 percent chance that during the growing season in the tropics, the lowest temperature will be higher than the hottest temperatures. Other parts of the world will be having record high temperatures be normal. So the world population at the end of the century will need more food and the rising temperature will force nations to change agriculture and food supply for their people. The director of food security, Rosamond Naylor says that, that could take decades. "When all the signs point in the same direction, and in the case of it's a bad direction, you pretty much know what's going to happen, You're talking about hundred of millions of additional people looking for food becasue they won't be able to find it where they find it now." says David Battisi.
