Social Studies: Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society

Improved Essays
Social Studies: Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” Lyndon B. Johnson created many programs that encased his vision of a “Great Society.” However, America is still not a “Great Society,” and it never will be.

There may be similar programs that have already addressed such issues, but they haven’t been working very well if the topic has been brought up in the first place. There are three important matters that affect this nation in the present: the animals, the education payment system, and the voting system. The first problem concerns the animals.

The second part of this quote explained how the presidency is a big position but not big enough for the men who occupy it.…

This is a problem that must be resolved because without food all of the students will be hungry.…

    Wildlife and natural resources have always been an asset the human race has depended on for food, clothing, medicine, shelter and many other needs over the past centries. Humans, in fact, have exceeded the tolerance level of goods that the natural environment can supply. Numerous studies show that many species are continuingly being affected since humans are harvesting or taking resources faster than the population can compensate for, this is best known as overexploitation (Enzor). As a visual aid, think of this situation as a jar full of cookies in front of many hungry people. The hungry people are going to continue eating the cookies until they are satisfied, however, it takes time to bake more cookies and if the cookies in the jar are eaten faster than they are made, the supply of cookies will quickly run out.…

    Extinction is necessary for the Earth’s natural order. It is used as the world 's way of weeding out the weaker species that are unable to adapt or evolve to environmental change thus consequently dying out to make room for the newer better-adapted species which is key in providing the earth with a more sustainable and better-equipped equilibrium. With five mass extinctions notched into the earth 's belt it can hardly be denied that evolution and extinction are anything but a necessary, yet dark, way of life. Therefore, what makes modern wildlife extinction so different in comparison to previous times? A dramatic root to the environments imbalance in extinction can be linked back to the influence of man.…
