Jimmy Carter writes, “tearing open the heart of our greatest refuge,” to describe what industrialization will do to the Arctic National Wildlife refuge. The general argument in Carter’s forward is that this Arctic refuge should not be developed for industry. First, he uses facts and evidence to build his claim. Then he uses word choice and imagery to support his argument. His purpose is to persuade his audience that development will have negative consequences for the Arctic refuge, in order to protect this unique awe inspiring wildlife refuge.…
When examining the views of Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and The Sun newspaper it is possible to distinguish between conservation, social reform, and environmental reform. Broward supported environmental reform, but opposed conservation in favor of social reform. Douglas for the most part favored conservation, but was not persistent, and was motivated by the view that conservation benefited the economy. The Sun newspaper opposed conservation and attempted to link their view with serving the people and improving the Everglades, and linked support for conservation with subservience to corporations. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward represented those who believed that drainage of the Everglades improved it, and that the state…

In 2003 Jimmy Carter made an essay attempting to persuade the american public not to build a pipe-line through an Arctic Wildlife Reserve. Let's take a look at how he tried to persuade his audiences. First, to give the audience a sense of trustworthiness, and dependability, he describes how he went to this amazing land, that must be protected, known as the arctic. Next, he argues his case claiming that if we build an oil pipeline there will only be short term benefits, and that we are destroying this beautiful sanctuary. Finally he connects the audience, not just the people who will visit the area, but every American by claiming that this victory is not just a victory for himself, but for everyone.…
Senior Voice newspaper is very instrumental in making one understand the general cost of long-term as it explains that first, individuals need to understand that Medicare is not a method of paying for long-term care, yet, only a health insurance which pays for some limited medical home health care as prescribed by a doctor. It further goes on to explain that Medicare does not pay for needs such as assisted living and pays only for a portion of skilled nursing care that follows a hospital stay of at least three days which maxes out at 100 days. It explains that some private pay can run from $3000 to $8000/month, for long-term care. (Carol, 2016) While cost for long-term care vary from state to state and geographical region, research notes that…
Gentrification has been a controversial issue, when arguments are powered by feelings and incidents on which to happen are supposedly improving the people in the community. As big businesses move into an area that was normally populated by small businesses, the mom and pop shops are flat-out disappearing one by one. Thus, relocating into a new area is challenging for a store owner since they 're founded on a low-income community. These questions have been wrestling through my thoughts as I investigate more on gentrification, are gentrifying communities have a positive impact on the small businesses? Or is it just for increasing, the economy and letting small businesses struggle to stand?…
On March 24, 1989, one of the worst recorded oil spills occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska (Seitel, 2011, p.100). A 987-foot tanker from Exxon Mobil Corp., the Exxon Valdez, spilled 260,000 barrels of oil after the intoxicated ship captain “ran aground on a reef 25 miles southwest of the port of Valdez” (Seitel, 2011, p.101). The oil spill damaged over 1,300 square miles of coast line and caused the death of various sea life, including over 4,000 Alaskan sea otters (Seitel, 2012, p.101). Exxon Mobil’s public relations approach to the crisis received criticism and the mistake affected the company nearly twenty years later.…
There are many conflicting opinions whether the development of the oil sands in Canada should proceed or whether it should slow down on any plans to move forward. Although both arguments have valid points, when it comes to educating the general public, the results depend on who presents their argument in a more understandable and convincing way. I found that between the articles Why Canada needs to develop the oil sands and Stop Oil sands expansion, says Canadian and U.S. Scientists. The former was a superior article because of its detail and organization as well as the evidence provided to support their statements. The first article, Why Canada needs to develop the oil sands, starts out by discussing the diverse economy of Canada and how…
While reading Shut Up Shut Down by Mark Nowak I really struggled to connect with the book. When it comes to poetic writing, I feel like it is really hard for me to form the connections that actually gives the poetry meaning and value in most cases. Although this was a hard book for me to connect to there were still a few things that I noticed and I feel I am able to elaborate on and go in depth on what I think about them. I would like to use this reflection essay to explain my thoughts on the language of the book because I feel I was able to connect and analyze that most since it was so different in comparison with most…
Canada, among other countries was hit the hardest by the Great Depression and suffered substantial losses. Their government failed to provide adequate means of support in time, trade dropped significantly, and the employment rates and the economy were at an all-time low; causing a large number of actions to be taken by citizens to stand up for what they believed they needed. The Great Depression began on October 29, 1929 and would last for 10 years until the Second World War. Canada was faced now with an economic crisis that affected everyone 's lives from rich to poor.…
There are two main viewpoints on any environmental issue, the modernist perspective and the neo-traditionalist perspective. The two perspectives greatly contrast each other, as they take completely opposite sides of the argument in any environmental issue. This was represented in the lecture by Professor Mark Boyer about Considering Environmental Values. For the purpose of this essay, I will specifically be talking about the issue of Climate change, and how both perspectives view this environmental issue. The modernist perspective consists of the optimists, they conclude that our continuous technological advancement is key to future success and will bring about solutions to any problems.…
How would you feel you have everything one moment and nothing the next? This was the reality that many Canadians were forced to live through during the “dirty thirties”. While a few people were still able to live comfortably, many more lived a desolate, impoverished life after the success of the 1920 's. The collapse of the stock market, the overproduction and over dependence of staple products, the excessive buying of stocks on loan and more caused many long and short term effects for the youth, working class and old alike. One of the darkest times in Canadian history was the Great Depression, due to economic, social and political impacts which affected the entire country.…
Catastrophic and heartbreaking are the two words to represent the year of 2001 for many Americans. The 9/11 terrorist attacks caused major emotional, and economic impact around the globe. The American airline industry suffered significant economic and social loss, leaving major airline companies on the verge of bankruptcy. While most airline companies were financially and emotionally suffering, the Southwest airline appeared to be at its most successful and profitable period. Indeed, Southwest’s successful performance during difficult times makes many individuals wonder how the company was able to accomplish what it seemed unachievable by most carriers.…
