The problem: Southeast Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle. As a result of a wide number of factors — from poaching to deforestation — many native species are endangered.
2. Air pollution
The problem: Air pollution is a global problem, but Southeast Asia does have among the worst air pollution in the world, only behind East Asia and Indiasrc. The region is prone to relatively frequent “hazes,” which are the result of widespread fires. These fires are generally started intentionally by either small-scale farmers or companies trying to clear land of trees so they can exploit it the following year.
3. Destruction of coral reefs
The problem: Southeast Asia is known for its incredible coral reefs, and, subsequently, its incredible diving. The area known as the “Coral Triangle” — mostly centered on the islands of Oceania — is the most biologically diverse marine environment in the worldsrc. Unfortunately, the reefs of Southeast Asia have been seriously degraded over the past several decades.
This is the result of several factors: First, the ocean absorbs about a quarter of all the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each yearsrc. While this actually helps reduce the effects of global warming temporarily, it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level over time. This acidification fundamentally weakens coral reefs, making them more prone to disease, and less likely to recover from disturbances.
The second factor is overfishing. Not only does the widespread removal of fish species harm the coral reef ecosystem, but many of the methods used to catch the fish harm the system itself, such as blast fishing (the use of dynamite), and cyanide fishing (using sodium cyanide to stun the fish and capture them for personal aquariums).
A third factor is actually dive tourism. When divers visit coral reefs, they’ll often interfere with the ecosystem in a way that can damage it — whether by walking on the reefs or taking specimens home for themselves.
4. Deforestation
The problem: As cities and populations grow, more land area is needed. Often, this area is created out of forests. In Southeast Asia specifically, given its position in the tropics, much of the forest that’s destroyed is rainforest, one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet. Rainforests are not only home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal speciessrc, but they also provide over a quarter of our natural medicinessrc, and they absorb over a quarter of our planet’s carbon dioxidesrc.
So naturally, the effects of deforestation of rainforests can be catastrophic — not only does it destroy plant and animal habitats, but it also accelerates climate change and potentially deprives us of undiscovered life-saving medicines.
5. Water security
The problem: The world as a whole may well be close to reaching “peak water,” the point where we start consuming fresh water faster than it can be replenished.
6. Increased urbanization
The problem: Southeast Asia is not immune to the global shift away from rural living and towards city living, and this shift carries a good number of potential environmental consequences, especially if it’s not guided by smart and sustainable policies. Urbanization can result in overcrowding, pollution, poor sanitation, and political instability — which in turn could lead to violent conflict, which is never good for the environment. Additionally, if cities are planned poorly, massive urban sprawl is often the result, which in Southeast Asia would bring about more deforestation, habitat destruction, and carbon emissions.

The answer to this question is Wales The kingdom of wales and the Great British empire had several ties in the past that could explain the similarities in culture and monument but wales unable to compete with England in term of economy because of its harsh environment that kill the majority of its agricultural sectors Until today, wales and England still have a really close realtionship
The agrarian revolution saw the rise of many New technology for the agricultural practices such as machineries and improved methods. This greatly improved the yields of agricultural produce in many countries where higher productivity can be achieved with lower manpower needs. Hence the needs for jobs and the increased agricultural produce led to the rise of industrial manufacturing and processing to process the agricultural produce for exports or domestic usage within the country, thus leading to the rise in industrial revolution
Although all of the options are important factors to determine social movility, I beleive that one amongst them has more impact. Social class at birth makes a significant difference. It is like a stating point in life, some people start with some advantages (like being born in a wealthy and educated family) and other with disadvantages (being born in a poor family with no access to education).
Although race or ethnicity and gender are important too, they can have a stronger or weaker impact depending of your social class. A person that forms part of a minority, for example, african american, will have a very different life depending on the economic situation of the family.
It is true that hard work and education is also needed but, again, social class can lead you to a more familiar and direct contact with them.
