The stakeholder’s moral failings come only thinking of the revenue that mining would bring and not the effect on the environment. The beauty of the Green Valley will change with industrial growth. The involvement of politics may play a role since the land is public and owned by the government. Bureau of land Management is in charge of issuing permits for drilling, and some people think that they are catering to particular political groups.…

This week we were asked to do an intervention on an individual case we selected from a group of cases listed throughout the book for our final intervention. I chose “The Sundale Club.” After reading over the cases The Sundale club jumped out at me. I was hopeful when I submitted my request that I might get it. Luckily enough, I was assigned “The Sundale Club” case as hoped. The reason I wanted to work on the Sundale club is, because I felt it offered several problems that needed to be addressed. I knew that I could really break things down piece by piece, and get to the root of the problem. Another thing the Sundale company offered was it was dealing with hot topics, and current events in the world right now. This was appealing to me, because things like gender discrimination hit close to home being a female myself. Being able to research and bring attention to the realities of gender discrimination or sexual harassment and how they can affect a business was motivating to me.…

Arguing flaws in the expansion of Appalachia’s postwar economy, Eller responds this led to “growth without development”. With the coal industry flourishing among soaring markets and technological innovation, our region experienced a weakening out-migration, an increase in absentee land ownership, environmental devastation, agricultural collapse, rising unemployment, and limited non-resource extraction economic development.…
As the mayor of the town, I find fracking to be a beneficial factor to us. Even though fracking isn’t a completely safe way to obtain natural gas, I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Because our town is small, it is important to come up with ways to make our community expand and develop. By fracking, we’ll be able to create more jobs and increase the employment rates. Research had shown that in Watford City in Western North Dakota the employment rates had increased and also grew exponentially. In Watford City, Mayor Brent Stanford has stated that he is for fracking. According to National geographic, Power Fuels, a Watford City company that focuses on transporting oil and other fluids had increased from having only 50 staffs to having 1,200 staffs in four different towns. Not only that, roads were being repaired and improved, new businesses are opened, elementary schools expanded and hospitals being built. In 2007, in North Dakota 15,500 workers were employed by private companies. In 2012, over 21,000 workers were employed and it’s expected to rise. I believe a small town like ours will grow and expand where unemployment rates will decrease and home values will increase. Local tax returns will help schools and other social programs upgrade. Fracking also helps economically to save up money. According to Texstar Oil, Pennsylvania went from $176 million to over $426 million in the past 5 years from 2006-2011. North Dakota received over $1 billion in oil tax returns with a budget of $4.1 billion in 2011-2012. By us allowing fracking, we’ll be able to save up a lot of money from drilling up our natural gases instead of buying foreign oil. President Barack Obama is also for fracking. According to Forbes, President Obama had said that nearly everyone’s energy bill had lowered because of it and the amount of renewable energy generated from sources like wind and solar had increased. Most importantly United States’ import of…
Springfield’s South End district has been struggling over the past 10 years. Businesses are starting to close and the area is very run down. Although the South End district has seen better days, the town of Springfield has started a rehabilitation project that includes fixing roofs, Windows, landscaping, and many other things as a way to try and rebuild the neighborhood. There is a lot of work that has to be done so it is still a work in progress but Springfield’s south end is on the rise for the future. One of the biggest things that is going to bring life back to the districts is the recently approves MGM grand casino that is currently in the process of being built. A few years ago the idea of getting a casino in the western mass area was proposed. It eventually came down to either Palmer or Springfield. Springfield won of course, and the casino will be fully functional by 2017. Some people argue that this will help the south end district and hopefully pull is out of the dark recession it is in right now. The MGM will bring in a lot of cash flow to the area, but I think it will end up causing more issues than it will good, in regards to traffic,…
