1,046 words
The anthropocentric approach is criticized for

(Lecture). These are the claims of supporters of
the deep ecology perspective, who believe that
intrinsic value should be extended to all of
nature. In this essay, I argue that the claims of
the deep ecology approach are wro...

Forest Roads And Their Effect On Water Quality
Roads are often necessary to perform certain tasks
in the forests. When roads are made, they often
pose the problem of erosion, and damage to nearby
water sources. The two articles I read on this
topic were both from the August 1999 issue of the
Journal of Forestry. Both discuss the different
techniques and methods for trying to limit the

Make The Story Stephen King

The novel Pet Semetary by Stephen King is
definitely a well researched novel. A lot of
research must have had been done on the Micmac
Indians because King describes and uses them
frequently in his novel. He uses facts which can
be proved and make the story more interesting. He
uses real life facts about cemeteries which make
the book a little more scary. Since the novel is a
honor story, if the facts were to be fictional, it

manifest destiny, America has always been the land
of the individual. Although the American dream has
not always been consistent, (married with 2. 5
