But the leftover polluted slurry remains in miles-long impoundments, some high above the banks of the river. Air cannons sound periodically to keep migratory birds from landing on the toxic ponds. Oil sands production, as the procedure is called, is booming in northeastern Alberta. [...]. Debate in the U.S. over the pipeline has largely focused on whether the oil sands would contribute to climate change, or spill along the route.

The petroleum industry has funneled billions of dollars into Canada's national, provincial and local economies and employs thousands of people in places with few other jobs. But the oil sands boor may also be polluting the air and water, and is stoking fear that it is damaging the health of those in its arc. From everything I hear from the indigenous peoples, their thinking seems to be 'It's a choice between whether we starve to death or are poisoned to death," said Dr. John O'Connor, a general practitioner who has worked here since 1993. Three studies by independent scientists have shown rising concentrations of pollutants, including carcinogens, in waterways near Alberta's oil sands production. Co Industry officials and the Alberta government have long insisted that the chemicals detected in area waterways are naturally occurring, not the result of pollution. Three weeks ago, government scientists told villagers that they had found high levels of mercury, a hazardous substance, in the eggs of migratory birds that nest downstream from oil sands production. Fishermen say pickerel and northern pike in the lake show bulging eyes and other deformities. throken health In Fort Chipewyan, a village of 1,100 people on the north shore of Lake Athabasca, cancer konu and autoimmune diseases such as lupus have taken a heavy toll on its mostly indigenous Cree, Dene and Metis population during the last 20 years. In 2009, the provincial government found that cancer rates here over a 12-year period were 30% higher than normal for such a small community (51 cancers in 47 individuals versus an expected 39 cancers). They also say they are taking full safety precautions to protect communities tucked into a and fished here for thousands of years. The oil industry is funding a government-run system to monitor possible pollution. Reclamation efforts, meanwhile, can take years, if not decades. Of the thousands of acres mined during 40 years of oil sands extraction in Alberta, only 247 acres have been restored to land resembling unmined areas. "We will be here another 50 to 60 years," said Greg Stringham, vice president for oil sands for the Canadian Assn. of Petroleum Producers. "We're very supportive of looking at the cumulative effect of what we do." 3 4 5 6 Canada already is the largest exporter of crude to the United States, mostly from oil sands. Officials hope to increase production by 2030 to about 5 million barrels a day from the current 1.9 million barrels. Many of the world's biggest oil companies hold leases to develop oil sands along the Athabasca River and other parts of eastem Alberta. Syncrude, Suncor and Shell already operate upstream from Fort Chipewyan. 2Oil sands 55. The Keystone XL pipeline, the most efficient way to ship oil, is crucial to the effort.

Part 2: Mediation While working on a project on globalisation at school, your British friend has to write an article about the effect globalisation has on the distribution of employment. You have found the following blog entry on the internet in which the author argues that there is a downward trend in outsourcing manual work and that the amount of work in western countries might rise again. Write an email to your friend and present the blogger's attitude to the poverty gap in Germany and the changing distribution of work as mentioned in the text. (18 P.) AEA-Meeting: Verstärkt die Globalisierung die Ungleichheit? Ja, aber nicht auf lange Sicht. Die Welt wird ungleicher. Daran ist auch die Globalisierung schuld. Aber ihr Trend soll sich umkehren -sagen Modelle, die beim AEA-Meeting in San Diego vorgestellt werden. In der öffentlichen Diskussion ist sie schon zum Klischee geworden, die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich, die sich immer weiter öffnet: Zuletzt ist sie im Armutsbericht der Bundesregierung und in der 5 Weihnachtsansprache des Bundespräsidenten aufgetaucht: Dabei haben sich die Einkommen von Arm und Reich in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren nur vergleichsweise schwach auseinanderentwickelt. Anderswo hat die Ungleichheit mit deutlich höherem Tempo zugenommen, vor allem in den Vereinigten Staaten. [...] Drei angesehene Forscher haben sich dieser Fragen angenommen. Und machen Hoffnung: 10 Gerade das Wechselspiel zwischen Globalisierung und technischem Fortschritt könnte die Ungleichheit wieder verringern/argumentieren Daron Acemoglu vom Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gino Gancia von der Pompeu-Fabra-Universität in Barcelona und Fabrizio Zilibotti von der Universität Zürich. Auf dem Jahrestreffen werden sie ihr mathematisches Modell vorstellen, mit dem sie dieses Argument entwickelt haben. Der Ökonom und Blogger Tyler Cowen lobt die Studie 15 jetzt schon als ,eine der wichtigsten des Jahres". Der iPod zeigt wunderbar, wie das funktioniert. In Amerika findet die hochspezialisierte Entwicklung statt, zudem gibt es einige einfache Arbeitsplätze im Verkauf. Insgesamt bleibt mehr als die Halfte des Geldes in den Vereinigten Staaten. Doch die Produktion muss nicht mehr in Amerika stattfinden. Billige Arbeiter in heruntergekommenen chinesischen Fabriken ermöglichen es Apple, die 20 Herstellung dorthin auszulagem. Darum entstehen die Produktionsjobs in China, nicht in Amerika. iPods werden günstiger, Apple kann mehr verkaufen. Davon profitieren die Entwickler und Verkäufer, aber die amerikanischen Fabrikarbeiter haben immer noch keine Stelle. So entsteht zunächst einmal Ungleichheit. Auch das Modell der drei Forscher zeigt, dass beim Auslagem anfangs die Ungleichheit wächst. Doch wenn mehr und mehr Arbeit nach China ausgelagert wird, dreht sich der Trend.. 25 irgendwann. Die Ungleichheit geht wieder zurück. Das liegt daran, dass die Arbeiter in China mit der Zeit immer zahlreicher werden. Dann lohnt es sich für die Firmen, auch in China in ordentliche Fabriken zu investieren - und ordentliche Fabriken können ihren Arbeitern meist auch ordentliche Löhne zahlen. Plötzlich wird die Konkurrenz aus China schwächer, und auch die Fabrikarbeiter in Amerika haben bessere Chancen auf einen sinnvoll bezahlten Arbeitsplatz. So geht die Ungleichheit 30 wieder zurück.

Outlines The newspaper article "In Canada's Alberta province, oil sands boom is a twoedged swort" written by Neela Banerjee and published in " Los Anegles Times" on 13.10.2013 deals with the advantages and disadvantages of the oil sands boom in northeastern Alberta. The author's intention is to inform the readers about the oil sands Industry from different perspectives. The al sands industry have many advantages such as providing jobs. in places where there are less. working apportunities and funding. the Canadian government with billions of dollars. Moreover, Canada is the largest exporter of crude to the U.S. On the other side, the oil sands industry threatens the local. people's health causing many diseases like cancer. The pollution which caused by this industry left the waterways filled with chenocals. The indigenous people used to fish from these waterways for thowends of years. Furthermore, only 247 acres are restored to land areas. Animals lives are also in danger, as people found fish with deformities 0 R R R G R R R - KT Alpredominate) A(lam) G W -KT A (does not) W W Ws.o. nd 1 her nd... the because of the pollution and high level of mercury. oil To sum up the sands industry. brings with it advantages and disadvanta- ges. But the disadvantages seem to be more than the good sides. of this kind of industry. 2. Analyze of In the following text I'm going to analyze the means the author uses to covinces the reader with her position focusing on structure, choice of words and communicative strategies. The author doesn't say her position directly, instead of that she tries to inform her readers with information oil about the usads industry from different the opinions froms perspectives and points of views. For example she emphasizes & governmental scientists (cf. (.32), scientists (cf.(. 36), the vice president (cf. (.47) and a "commerical fisherman" ((.58). With these different opinions she tries to convince the readers with her of position, as showing different perspective makes her text more believable and convincing. Although she uses many 2 numbers, dates and opinions to provide a very informative text, the authors point of view is clear, as she mentions more Asadvantager than advantages furthermore, she mentions. the adventages in short paragraphs. e.g. (cf. (6.20-23) and the dis- advantages in longer ones (cf.ll. 50- 61. The article from Neela Banerjee is well structured to provide better understanding of her arguments. 9 seven Her line of arguments can be d'évited into sense paragraphs. In lines 7-8 the author writes a small introduction to show about her readers to what she is writing. Already in the first sentence very she illeurates her point of view, as she mentions the good side and then directly the negative one of the oil sants industry. The author seems to exaggerate as she uses adjectives like "enormous" (L.6) and "massive" ((.7). She does that to show the readers how important the situation Coil sands. industry) is and to grap the readers attention, so that he could imagine. the situation better. In the second sense paragraph (19-16) 3 W R R R US - Canada! T (plays) R R G the author describes how bitumen is shipped and "processed into gasoline [...]" (L. 10). She says that the oil sands production [... 34s booming" (L. 13) to show her readers that the oil sands industry is playing a big role in northeastern Alberta. She underlines that the U.S. are focusing on the consequences of the industry which can lead to climate change or just "spil along the route" (6.15). But she emphasizes that things in northeastern Alberta are way more complicated Cefill 15-16) which leads to her follouring arguments. In lines 18-19 she uses an enumeration. to describe the process of shipping. oil sands. With her explanition the reader can understand her text. her are following arguments better as she says that five process can cause "chemicals" ((. 19). In lines 20-23 the author allwrates the advantages of the oil sands industry as it funds the Canadian goverment with billion of dollars and helps by improving its economical situation by providing working apportunities. Even though the author is talking @ about the positive sides, she repeats. herself by saying that the industry causes pollution and threatens pople's health (i 22-23). Thereby, she is trying to unterline the argument of the pollution, so that the rater wat does not forget it. In the third sense paragraph she mentions a statement from Dr. John O'Connor who that they says 30% either die because of hunger or because of pollution. With his statement the author tries to influence the readers emotionally to convince them with her position. She also mentions that cancer rates were in 2009 higher than the normal rate for a community like the indigenous peoples. In Lines 27-31 she uses many numbers. and dates which make her text more informative and believable. She also shows different positions concerning the oil sands industry such... "government scientists" ( (-32), "scientist" (L.36) and industry officials" ((-38). " The government scientists found "high level of mercury" ((. 33) and some fishermen claim that fish look sick (Cf.ll. 32-35). After showing these arguments. S 1. G W Ws.o. Z Z the author tries to explain the diseases of the animals by mentioning three studies by non-govermental scientists who claim that the pollution the production. But then she is caused 6 by perspective from industry brings up a third officials and the government who make sure that the pollution 36 not because of the industing (cf. (C. 38-39). With these different points of views. the author wants her readers to see as much perspectives as possible. Further. more, she wants to that the say government is trying to hide the facts beland the oil sands industry as it recieres billions of dollars because of this industry. Thus Neela Banerjee mentions first the "government scientists (C.32) and the the independent" scien- (ists (6.36) and then the officials" (6.38) who say that they are trying industry to take full safety percaution to Protect communities" (L.40). -cf. In the fiftle sense paragraph. 43-54) the author points out that the pollution can take kee many years to get rid of Ccf.ll. 43-44). Nevertheless, she mentions Greg Stringham's statement who that the oil sands industry says (6) I will take place in another 50-60 years C cf. ll. 47-48). With his statement she is trying to compare the the fact that & pollution will take b many years to be solved and the fact that & vice president is still thinking of the the industry. Thereby she is trying to illusrate that the government. only cares for benefecital and "cumulative" (6.49) consequences. She also says that the production of barrels will increase in 2030 to about 5 million barrels per day (cf. 4.50-52) and that many oil companies are willing to develop in eastern Alberta (cf.ll. 52- 54. This leads to her last sense. Paragraph CUL. 55-61). In this paragraph the author brings up the position of the local residents. who are scared of the expecting pollution through the industry's. development. Furthermore, she mentions. at the end of her text the position. of a commerical fisherman who found in the 1990s "fish with deformities" (C.59) and didn't know the reason. until 2009 when studies showed that.. water pollution due to oil sands. Industry is the reason (cf. 4. 60-61). 7) B (this) G(which) The author shows the position of the scientist and government in the middle of her text while she mentions the local residents positions at the end of her text. With this structure she wants to show that the position and point of view of the residents are the most important ones. Furthermor, she knows very well that the last. arguments of her text will last the most in the readers' brain and that is exactly her intention, namely to raise the position of the residents, as they are the ones who matter the most. Ⓡ To the author tries to sum up. emphasize that the oil sands industry can be seen very differently from different people. Never the less, she is against the oil sands industry which can explain. why she mentions move negative sides than positive anes. Z * Moreover, the author uses formal English to provide an understand able text. 8 Land informative 3. Comment: In the following text I'm going to discuss the statement : " Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving. set of consequences - some good, some an som unintended. It is the new reality" from the American politicion. and member of the Democratic Party " John B. Carson". bad The statement from John B. Larson means that globalization can have negative, positive or neutral aspects. A positive aspect of globalisation is the increasing working apportunities in less devebped countries where people be face dificalities with finding some jobs such just like in northeastern. Alberta Ccf. (L. 21). On the other hand working conditions in less developed countries can be so bad беде in Bangladesh where people have to work for more than 16 hours a day and -7 weet days a week to receive a minimum wage. Nevertheless, this minimum. wage is for them very important to 1 buy food or pay for school for their lads. As we see in the text of Neela Banerjee a worker says. that they either die from straving or @ R R (difficulties) R Sb from pollution (cf.(25) which reinforce my statement about the bad working conditions and the need of the minimum wage. Looking at the positive side, global- ization offers us many apportunities like. travelling to different countries to see different cultures or the ability to stay in touch with friends who live abroad. Many people might argue that gbbalisation caused climate change and pollution. On the one hand this is true, as the international trade through ships and planes all cause CO₂ which is one of the reasons for pollution and climate change. The international trade plays a big role in the text of Neela as through the trade Canada transports oil sands to other countries like the U.S. (cf. (l. 13. The transportation many animals lives are in danger as for example. the water ways are polluted which causes. fish; diseases (cf. (1.34-35). Not only animals but also our lives are in danger. as the rate of ( cancer and other Reseases are constantly increasing (cf. (1.29-30). On the other hand, 10 crisis the international. made countries interdependent which. be bad if a May country faces a crises. As these criser will reach other countries. An excemple is dant the Corona pandemic which showed all hav interdepentet the countries are. Also the article from Neely raises this issue indirectly a Neela says that Canada is "the largest exporter of crude to the United. States" ((.50). everything Taking into consideration, I would say that globalisation has both. bad and good sides. Thus mos me that I agree with John. B. Larson. 3.
