Mexico has one of the highest rates of soda consumption in the world, a fact of significant concern to those who promote public health. Several years ago, the Mexican government decided to address this issue. The question they faced was how to encourage people to drink less soda. The answer they settled on was to impose a tax on soft drinks. This appears to have helped, as soda consumption in Mexico has gone down since the introduction of the tax.

In July 2014, when Africa was experiencing a devastating outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus, doctors identified the first Ebola case in Nigeria. Officials worried that Ebola would quickly spread in Nigeria, but within three months, health officials had defeated the disease inside Nigeria's borders. Because Ebola spreads through direct contact with an infected person, Nigerian medical personnel immediately tracked down everyone who had been in contact with the infected patient. More than one hundred and fifty workers conducted 18,500 interviews to identify everyone who might have been exposed to Ebola. The medical personnel monitored these contacts, isolating and treating anyone who showed signs of the disease. These tactics succeeded, and Nigeria was declared free of Ebola in October.

During World War II, the U.S. Navy was segregated by race, and many African Americans were assigned the dangerous work of preparing explosive devices for shipment. On July 17, 1944, as men loaded bombs onto ships at Port Chicago, a California naval base, two ships exploded in a massive blast. The explosion, which was due in part to inadequate safety procedures, killed hundreds, primarily African Americans. The Navy blamed the men for carelessness, and many of the disaster's survivors refused to return to work. As a result, fifty African American men were convicted of mutiny. Their conviction and imprisonment provoked outrage at the Navy's racist policies. Consequently, the Navy began assigning white sailors to share in the hazardous work, and later integrated its forces.

There are several ways to start a fire without matches or a lighter. One method utilizes a wooden board and a two-foot long stick. First, cut a "V"-shaped notch on the edge of the board so that the wider part of the "V" is on the outside edge. Then, beside the narrow point of this "V," make a small dent or hole with a sharp rock. Next, place the board on the ground and the end of the stick in the indentation, holding the stick between the palms of your hands. Finally, roll the stick quickly between your palms while pressing it down. Do this until the friction heats the wood enough so that an ember glows at the end of the stick. This ember can now light a fire. Which organizational structure does this text primarily use?
