Do you know that everyday national parks are being damaged greatly? If you like to go to parks or national parks it then you will agree with me when you see that the earth is being changed everyday. Due to over visitation the parks are being mistreated. For example The Grand Canyon is one that is affected a lot more then it should be with pilots flying over it, having dirt bike riders going on the mountain range, also having people in here boats. This is exposing the park to so much more bad pollution then there already is. In the smoky mountains there is a lot of bad air pollution because of power plants and industrial emissions are blowing bad air to the park and because of it there is wildlife that is being affected more than it should be. A lot of things are changing from air pollution, climate change, water issues, and foreign invaders that want to take things from the park not knowing if it will affect it or not. National parks are sites that should be protected.

By recognizing that the proposal is not a quick fix and that adding parks is costly, the author demonstrates that they are a reasonable and realistic voice in the discussion. Thus, the author contributes to the debate. The author's credibility is enhanced by their use of logos and ethos, which also contributes to the greater persuasiveness of the argument. One of the potential flaws of the article is that the author needs to consider the perspective of persons who may be opposed to the idea of bringing more parks to Dallas.
With cap cuts coming, are the Steelers scouting a new middle linebacker at the combine? As I wrote in one of our past prospect watches, the Steelers could draft a middle linebacker in the mid-round of this year’s draft. Lawrence Timmons is owed over $15 million and his production has slipped over the past few seasons. One of the most decorated middle linebackers in this draft is Scooby Wright out of Arizona.
Father of National Parks: John Muir's Legacy on Preservation America during the Progressive Era was a changing atmosphere. The “Wild West” had been replaced by order and society. Land speculators had taken over large tracts of forest and grazing land for the exploitation of their natural resources and profit. Large mining companies used mining practices that were wasteful to the surrounding environment. However, even though this seemed wrong, some Americans were illusioned by the idea that there was a limitless supply of natural resources on the continent (Conservation in the Progressive Era).
In life some feel the need to prove something to others. That they are better, stronger, or even more intelligent. Whatever the case may be people will go through extreme measures to prove themselves. But who do we really need to prove anything to? Is it our parents?
Whitney Moore Ms. Gustafson English 10 Honors 29 February 2016 Happiness Magnified by Community Happiness is fully experienced when shared with community. A person’s immediate happiness is their own and comes from their own personal beliefs. However, long term happiness comes from being able to share and talk about what makes you happy. Happiness is fully experienced when shared with community through pictures and journals. To be happy you do not need other people.
Children are pushed into adulthood by their parents to grow up and become adults at an early age. In today's society, parents perceive their children as adults and force the idea that there is no other way of living besides having a job to support yourself even if the job isn't your passion. In Fences, Cory has a chance to get into college by getting recruited by a football coach and potentially have a better future than Troy, because he would achieve a college degree. However, Troy, Cory's father takes that all away from him because Tory wants Cory to have a real job that can support him instead of having a “chance” of supporting himself. With not being given the same chance as his son, Tory continues to put his own past experiences before
Governor Flaubus had the National Guard go to a school in Arkansas so blacks could not go to The Little Rock High School. In 1957 the Governor of Arkansas didn’t want to integrate a school so the president had to take action. Some people wanted segregation because of customs. The Little Rock High School of 1957 should have integrated their schools.
Do you remember that day that you and your family took a trip to that one park? That one that you got to see many different types of sea animals, dolphins putting on shows, and getting to even interact with the sea animals in a great learning experience. That park is SeaWorld. When you were there, you might have not noticed the stuff that was happening behind the scenes. Lately, the animals have been very sad and not living healthy lives.
The shooting of a Cache County Jail inmate that one Cache official said was an “uncomplicated case” which would only take a couple of weeks to complete is now in its fourth week. Details are still sparse concerning the Jan. 16 shooting that hospitalized an inmate who was shot will a non-lethal weapon. “He was not shot with a firearm but I can’t go into a lot of details,” said Lt. Doyle Peck, of the Cache County Sheriff’s Office. “It was a less lethal option, it was not life threatening in any way and he was given medical attention.” Cache County Sheriff’s Office chief deputy, Matt Bilodeau, said Peck’s two-week estimate was optimistic.
The National Park Service offers many important things to the United States. In the article, "A Monumental Fight," Katy Steinmetz states that national parks offer the use of scientific exploration, historical research, and tourism for travelers (32). Park lovers voice out that parks are a part of history and is the home for many animals. While others are arguing that the National Parks might need a cut in funds.
In the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot (an advocate for conservationists) stated that “the use of the park will be enormously increased” (Pinchot and Raker 2). This means the the ability to have multiple use of the land can allow the government to create more than just an attraction site, but also create activities and different things people can do there for a price. Also in the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot also stated that “the national park will be visited by a very large number of people who cannot visit them now” (Pinchot and Raker). This gives government the opportunity to make money, because people would pay money in order to see the beauty of the land now that it is cleared up.
The Alaskan Bush is one of the hardest places to survive without any assistance, supplies, skills, and little food. Jon Krakauer explains in his biography, Into The Wild, how Christopher McCandless ventured into the Alaskan Bush and ultimately perished due to lack of preparation and hubris. McCandless was an intelligent young man who made a few mistakes but overall Krakauer believed that McCandless was not an ignorant adrenalin junkie who had no respect for the land. Krakauer chose to write this biography because he too had the strong desire to discover and explore as he also ventured into the Alaskan Bush when he was a young man, but he survived unlike McCandless. Krakauer’s argument was convincing because he gives credible evidence that McCandless was not foolish like many critics say he was.
Imagine a day in the life of a common farm animal. Far from the peaceful grazing life one would envision, the livestock of today endure horrific conditions - from suffering painful diseases to being separated from their mothers at too young of an age. Not only are these conditions harmful to the animals, the food produced by them is unnecessary to humanity’s well-being and can even be damaging to society’s overall health. Since the definition of ethics is having well-founded standards of right and wrong, this process of producing meat for our consumption is unethical.
From walking your dog, to playing with your kids, the park is the perfect place for endless outdoor activities and events. The park is a door to escape the harshness of the world and return to reality with a new mind set on the world. Most public parks offer amazing sceneries of nature from plants and trees to wildlife. The presence of nature warms my heart bringing relaxation and peace upon my body and
