The preservation policy protected the resources and without it the country would have been stripped of all its materials. The Department of Commerce and Labor was established to ensure the rights of workers and is still used today, showing just how much Roosevelt changed the way business worked. The limitations he put on business offered an alternative to “busting the trusts” and made the workplace fairer for workers, resulting in smaller firms being created and more jobs opening up. Roosevelt’s actions that he put into place showed the power of government as well as the importance of resources, workers and corporations all working together and was able to positively impact, not only monopolies, but the economy as…
Chapter seven begins when Theodore Roosevelt became the governor of New York in 1899. He discovered that if he wanted to improve the handling of natural resources in New York he had to do that through the New York State Fisheries, Game, and Forest Commission. This agency had done very little, because the members were decided by their political influence. Since 1888, George Bird Grinnell had been trying to get the administration to be separated by politics. He believed the leaders needed to be experts in order to have efficient management of the natural resources.…

I would be much more persuaded by their argument if they provided more concrete evidence like data, literary analysis, or secondary scientific articles to support their point. Additionally, there will never be one alternative that does not offer some tradeoffs, but the authors neglect to mention any potential cons associated with their preferred alternative, and thus it is possible to argue that their alterative could negatively impact the local environment by altering the ecosystem from its natural function to timber production. Plus, for their plan to fully work as they intend it, they suggest changing the Multiple-Use-Sustained-Yield-Act to allow for greater acreage to be devote to timber, which would alter the law that seeks to ensure that for every acre devoted to private timber crops, there is another acre for recreation, wildlife, water, livestock and ect. Thus some public goods and land usage could be diminished for public and private use in addition to incurring ecological damage with the author’s proposed…

During the time period of 1800s through the early 1900s, much happened. There was improvement in inventions and products which made life easier, and more jobs were given to people that did not have jobs. Also, reforms were made that gave equal power to all. The accelerated period of industrial growth during the 1800s and into the early 1900s was more helpful because new products were made, land was conserved, and progressive reforms were made. Industrialism was helpful because conservation was done by Teddy Roosevelt.…
At the turn of the 20th century, it was evident that there was a "widespread concern about overcutting forests, flooding, and erosion..." (Sowards) throughout the United States. Many people were not aware of the environmental damage that their actions could lead to during this time period. As seen in the late 1800s, Americans hunted for bison, resulting in the extinction of the species. Likewise, as cities throughout the nation began to grow and overpopulate, pollution was an issue and was harming animal and plant life, along with the land itself.…
The Progressive Era gave new ideas about how the government should function and how the people would respond with it. The Progressive gave new thoughts of conservation as Theodore Roosevelt acknowledged the need to preserve natural resources for the future. He then created the US Forest Service, the National Park Service, and the Newlands Reclamation Act to protect these resources. This is also the time period where child labor laws were starting to appear and the government made an laws that children must go to school which helped enforce this policy. Labor unions started to fight for what they wanted such as shorter work days, more pay…
Theodore Roosevelt Imagine the U.S. without any national forests. Imagine the world with the Panama Canal never being created. This is what the world would look like if Theodore Roosevelt had not been the 26th president of the United States.

Theodore Roosevelt contributed to over one hundred and fifty national reserves and parks across the nation.…
Many people still question Haig’s idea of wanting to still move forward. People claim that Haig should have learned from the statistics and adjusted his tactics, and argue that the cost in terms of human casualties was too high for a for a 5 mile gain at the end of the battle. The 5 mile gain was nothing compared to the cost of human casualties, and Haig seemed like he didn’t care about the deaths and in the end the soldiers who died, died for nothing, because of Haig. The British were unprepared for war; Haig could not change his tactics because he only knew one, which was conventional tactics. The soldiers were unable to keep up with the rivalry, as they were unprepared to take on their opposition with such a large number.…
President Roosevelt proposed to recruit thousands of unemployed young men, enlist them in a peacetime army, and send them to battle the erosion and destruction of the nation’s natural resources. [ (Civilian Conservation Corps CCC) ] More than any other New Deal program, the CCC is considered to be an extension of President Roosevelt’s personal philosophy. [ (Civilian Conservation Corps CCC) ] The CCC, which also became known as Roosevelt’s Tree Army, was credited with renewing the nation’s decimated forests by planting an estimated three billion trees from 1933 to 1942.…

Wildlife crime is a particular group of crime. It does not fit "clean" into the different traditional groups, or labeling, often used to describe crimes. groups such as those against people or property crimes. wildlife crimes are sometimes thought about/believed to be victimless because an (able to be seen or picked out) hurt party or victim, at least in the form of a human being, is not present or filing a complaint. However, it has been argued that in the case of wildlife crime, like other victimless crime, (community of people/all good people in the world) is the true victim because these criminal acts lead to harm to, if not the complete destruction of, whole species of animals and plants, by that/in that way affecting hunters, nature (people…
