    In Mother Jones’ article, “America’s Real Criminal Element: Lead”, author Kevin Drum attempts to explain and persuade to his readers what he believes is the main cause for the rise and fall of crime rates seen across the nation.

It is an ecologist’s job to inspect and regulate standards of buildings, businesses, agencies, and other environmental organizations.…
