Dear Gloria Negrete McLeod, As we know, the United States Army Corps’ has started wasteful construction projects that degrade wetland for our black bears in the South. Everyone has said that deforestation is bad and it hurts animals which is correct. I read an article saying that the U.S. Army Corps’ has taken wetland from black bears now, if you look back, deforestation is destroying an animal’s habitat and by the Army taking the wetland isn’t that the same? There is an act called the Water Resources Development Act or (WRDA). It states that the Congress, uses this to tell the Army Corps’ Engineers what and where to build on our landscape. This WRDA includes provisions (Section 2032 & 2033) that would speed up Corps projects by shortening the amount of time available to complete a thorough environmental review of the projects but at the same time it undermines the National Environmental Policy Act or the (NEPA). The NEPA is an environmental review of projects that is essential to ensure that Corps projects benefit the nation rather than waste taxpayer dollars and harm our water resources and wildlife. Most people don’t care why or how many animals and habitats are being destroyed. But there is always hope because nearby someone who hears or their heart is touched by this or bear enthusiast, will come and support as much as I want to. You look on TV and there are commercials on how orangutans are coming closer to extinct and tigers too. So I say to myself well,
Progression for OUR Nation Freedom. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is what we had been striving for, for far too long while under Great Britain’s Monarchy. To be our own person, and not have any underlying consequence because of it. However, after we obtained said freedom and became independent from Great Britain, we have failed to have a properly balanced government that’ll make our nation strong. Let’s face it, The Articles of Confederation at first seemed like a grand idea with the proposition…
VFW Scholarship Why am I optimistic about our nations future? One of the biggest reasons I am optimistic about our nations future is because in two years by turning eighteen my generation will have the responsibility and opportunity to vote for the leaders, from Local to State Representatives, to the president, my generation can vote for the leaders of our country. We have the chance to put the best people possible in charge. Now even though right now my generation might seem too immature to be part of that…
Morality vs. Reality Our values and morals are two of the major things that define us as human beings, but we shouldn’t let these two blind us from reality. All my life I’ve been taught to help my neighbor and treat others how I want to be treated, but after reading professor Garrett Hardin’s argument about Lifeboat Ethics I realized that sometimes we may be ignorant to some situations because of our morals. He disapproves the idea of wealthy nations supporting developing nations with foreign aid…
aspects of our culture – its dependence on England, its history of racism, sexism and homophobia, and its refusal to acknowledge the original owners of our land, the Indigenous Australians. For these reasons, it must be altered without delay. Firstly, by anchoring itself with the divisive British symbol of the Union Jack, the current Australian flag does not accurately represent Australia as an independent nation. Very few of us have even travelled to Britain and fewer still believe it is our mother…
citizens. People travel from all around many different parts of the world to get a taste of the lifestyle and opportunity the United States citizen’s are offered everyday. This nation thrives on preserving our personal freedoms, property, and liberty; moreover, it is the nation’s promise to its citizens. These rights are binded in our coveted Bill of Rights and the Constitution, a document for the people by the people. Many people can find their own personal definition of what they believe to be the American…
shoot the guns, take proper care of them, dismantle them and put them back together, etc. etc. until our little mercenaries are properly trained to take on the real world. They will be trained in the art of sharp shooting and will be required to memorize all of Al Pacinos’ lines from Scarface. This method will not only protect our children, but it will also greatly benefit our nations’ economy. Because our children can protect themselves, there will be no need to hire school safety officials, which will…
declared war on the nation of Serbia, and I offer you and the German military to side with us in this war with Serbia. I offer great rewards to your nation if you help us win. I believe that a massive war is about to rage and standing alone will not help but it is suicide. Side with our country, and we will help to defend your country if the enemy decides to attack. The Archduke will be avenged and so will the Duchess with Serbian blood. I want the German Navy to increase in size. Our Navy is not as…
the Hindu nation, as he states in his "two-nation theory": Muslims and Hindus "represent two entirely distinct and separated civilizations" (Jinnah 47). It is true that we live on the same territory, but India has always been a Hindu Society for thousands of years. So, why should any part of India be given to a group of people who are not part of the Hindu nation? Why should the Muslims have a part of the land that has been part of us for generation after generation, which we consider our own nation…
about their opinion relating to Communist expanding throughout our Nation. Communism is a social organization based on the ownership controlled all economic and social activities. J. Edgar Hoover, Sidney Hook, and William O. Douglas have numerous points of view on Communism. Their voices and minds reveals that Communist is not who they say they are. J. Edgar Hoover believed the spread of Communism is a tremendous threat to our nation. Day by day, the number of people enroll in the party’s membership…
Caila Tongco 3/16/15 APHG 2nd Period The future of the “nation-state” may be at stake because of the ever growing economy and politics of our world. In The End of the Nation State? The author talks about how our society is becoming more and more globalized, thus a non-state world is predicted. This can all tie into the fact of devolution, which occurs in several states in our modern world. Nations are beginning to depend on their larger cities turning the power to them rather than a central government…
