The passage of Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) had two sides, one supporting it and one opposing it. The supporters were considered conservatives. The conservatives supported ANILCA because it would protect a lot more land from the government's use. Many major national conservationists were involved with the act, like George Bird Grinnell, Charles Sheldon, and Belmore Browne (akhistorycourse.org). George Bird Grinnell was an anthropologist and served as president of the National Parks Association (fws.gov).…
In the first two decades of the twentieth century the national political scene reflected a growing American belief in the ideas of the Progressive movement. This movement was concerned with fundamental social and economic reforms and gained in popularity under two presidents. Yet Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson espoused two different approaches to progressive reform. And each one was able to prevail upon congress to pass legislation in keeping with his own version of the progressive dream. These two people, although they had different principles in mind, had one goal: to make changes to the nation for the better of the people and the country. Setting out to reach this goal, Roosevelt came to be a president of the common man while Wilson became the "better" progressive president.…

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the frontrunners in the 1912 election. This election “changed the country, demonstrating a victory for progressive reforms as both Progressive candidates (Wilson as a Progressive Democratic governor of New Jersey and Roosevelt the head of the new Progressive Party) accounted for 75 percent of all votes” (Bowles, 2011). Although both men believed in Progressive philosophies, they were complete opposites in their political views. Roosevelt was considered the “Warrior” and advocated for a New Nationalism. Wilson, on the other hand, was…
Roosevelt said “My problems are moral problems, and my teaching has been plain morality.” His statement was accurate because a major contribution to the Progressive movement was his homilies. Homilies are like sermons, and Roosevelt made his opinions of morality public with these. In his speech Nine Reasons Why a Man Should Go to Church, Roosevelt points out moral reasons why a man should go to church, like “Church work and church attendance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling responsibility for others.” Because he was so fixated on his moral campaign, he never thought to transfer his judgments into social realizations. Roosevelt’s constant need to fix moral problems in the United States shows that he was progressive in the aspect of reform.…
As the Progressive Party candidate for President in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt continued to seek reform with his Square Deal policies. Roosevelt was a true Progressive and fought consistently for reform throughout his political career. His address made during the campaign was entitled "The Struggle for Social Justice" from Progressive Principles: Selections from Addresses Made during the Presidential Campaign of 1912, ed. Elmer H. Youngman (New York: Progressive National Service, 1913), 199-207. Theodore Roosevelt's main argument in this article was that privilege should be eliminated from industrial life and lose its power in political life. He claimed that the boss system thrives on injustice and calls his fight that he was engaged in a fight…
Trancredi means if one thing change such as the king or the flag change, everything will change too, such as people need to keep balance they will change their side. He see himself fits in the world when he try to fight for it, and he doesn’t want to wait for other people to catch him and put him in prison and wait for death. And when he left home, he felt there is hope and he has power. Don Fabrizio did not think his nephew can change things, but he was still happy for him. And his wife cannot give everything he want, he thought he cannot fit in his wife’s world, and he thought his wife just gave him seven children. And he thought it is not fair for him to confess. There was class change and the middle class wanted to replace the upper class…
In reading Epictus Handbook, I discover that Epictus never really states a point of options. I understand from his reading and works that he doesn't like to take a definite stand on anything he speaks on. He says our "opions or perceptions are entirely up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversions". However I only agree with his statement to a degree, but the following statement "our bodies are not up to us, nor are our possessions, our reputations, or our public office, or, that is what is not our own doing". I strongly disagree with the statement, that our reputations are not our own doing. Reason being, is in my opion, from book 1. Epictus is stating that whatever I think or feel about something or someone is all up to me and no one can change the thoughts, but he says what other's think or feel about me I can't do anything about it, which I agree on to an extent. As far as reputations is concerned I personally believe that one can control other's perceptions of you, meaning if one is living in accordance to what is deemed civil and proper in his or hers society; their peers can't say anything to tarnish that reputation being good or bad. However everyone is entitled to have his or her own opinions. So in short Epitus is saying everyone has…
One could say Prospero makes this decision because he has no more need for his magic in Milan. Prospero’s goal was to have revenge on his brother and those that followed him, and to reclaim his high status. He was able to accomplish this goal through the help of magic, but as he will no longer need this power in Milan. Prospero instead plans to use political and social power to hold his status over others, instead of using magic to assert his dominance. However, Prospero may have also decided to rid himself of his magic, although it gave him great power, it…
It is the belief of palyers that receiving or touching the Conference Tophy is a bad omen, and decrease a team’s chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yet throughout NHL history, this seems to not be the case, as teams which chose to touch a conference trophy tend to go on to win the Stanley Cup approximately 50% of the time. In 2008, The Penguins elected to not touch the trophy and lost, a year later they touch/picked it up and won Stanley Cup. It makes for an odd scene, with the palyers gathering around the trophy instead of celebrating their accomplishment.…
Michael Becker, a public defender in Orange County visited our class. Public defenders are people who defense for people who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. Public Defenders consider their clients as the most important thing, and they treat their clients with dignity and respect since most of their clients are on the margins of the society, and they are not treated with respect. Even though public defenders receive funding from the government, they do not represent the government. Orange county had public offenders for 70 years, which is longer than the federal public offenders with the history of 50 years. I could tell public defenders disliked the district attorneys by Michael’s description of district attorneys and the way he talks about…

Reyna experienced both positive and negative effects from growing up with papi. Papi always encouraged his kids, (Mago, Carlos, Reyna) to thrive academically, which made them succeed at school, but sometimes it doesn’t always have a great outcome when you encourage you kids with fear. What happened with Reyna that she always wanted papi to proud of her in school, even though multiple times he shunned her, she had that idea in mind that she need to make her father proud, and I think that papi was the reason that Reyna was successful at college, although in a very wrong way . its never okay to put the fear of god in you kids soul to be good at school.…
