Current Event

Many have heard about the recent uprising in Egypt over the president and those who want to replace him. Though this seems as if it would have no effect on the way Americans live their day-to-day lives, this may not be true. Every day over 1.7 million barrels of crude oil pass through the Suez Canal which runs through Egypt. If things get much worse, the canal may be shut down. This would cause no more oil to be allowed to go through and reach other countries such as the United States. If this were to happen, gas prices could skyrocket overnight without any warning. It may even be hard to find gas at all. Without gas, people would have no methods of transportation and many would be stuck at home without any chance of going to work. This shows how much people rely on water. Without the canal, the lives of Americans would be completely different. This is a perfect example of water living up to its archetype as the provider. In this instance, it provides stability and peace of mind. It provides a way of life for people as a whole. This shows what a powerful force water truly is. Without it, the world and its inhabitants could no longer function.
