INCOME DISTRIBUTION

 People do type of work or the other. At the end they get paid some money for the work they have done. The pay is not usually the same for everybody since people do different types of work. This often makes workers to keep demanding for more pay in order that they may be able to buy their basic needs.
   Workers can be grouped according to how they are paid for the work they do. Some people are paid a big amount of money at the end of the month. These are highly skilled workers doing some specialized work in the society. The money they are given is called salary. There is another group that does not receive as much

money. Their pay is measured by the number of hours they work or the amount of work they do. Their pay is called wages.
WHY PEOPLE ARE PAID DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
Level of Qualification:Qualification means gaining a level of knowledge. Those who have high qualification earn more money than those who have low qualification. e.g a professor earn much more than a B.sc holder.
Period of Training :Some jobs take more time to learn than the others. Those jobs that take longer time to learn usually attract more salary than those that take short period. E.g Doctors and nurses. While doctors spend six years to train after Secondary school education, while nurses spend three years.
Amount of work done (piece rate) :The amount of work done determines the amount of money workers are paid e.g if a tailor sew ten clothes a day, he will be paid less than one who produces twenty a day.
Hours of Work :Some people are paid based on the number of hours that they work. Those who work longer hours get higher pay than those who work for shorter hours.
Values of Service:The degree of usefulness of work done helps to decide the amount of money workers are paid. Those whose work is very useful earn more money than those  whose work is less useful e.g In a bank a bank manager earns more than accountant.
HOW WORKERS DEMAND FOR MORE PAY.
When workers watch out for increase in the cost of living as compared to their pay. Then the workers union will write a letter to their employers demanding for higher pay stating their reason for the demand. Workers do ask for increase in their pay they do this when they get higher qualifications, or when they have not been promoted for a long time.

Natural soil

 Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils.    Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content.    Mainly the soils ar...

READING AND UNDERSTANDING

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

Frequent masturbation

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer , but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer . But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers  looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer.  About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer . The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life. "Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer. For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported mas...
