... feed. " (Amaral 23) For instance, in 1880,
only 520 acres of hay were cut in the entire
state. Horses and cattle simply roamed and many
were never claimed in the annual roundups.
Ranchers even turned horses out during periods of
drought, when they had little of no feed. The
horses would then range for feed, and eventually
join together to form bands. As long as horses
were loosely ranged they were constant attractions
to the wild herds. A rancher named Wilkinson
turned out fifteen hundred ma...

Raw Materials Religious Reasons

Colonialism is an important concept to address
because it has had such a major impact on the
modern world. It is often responsible for the
movement of peoples throughout the world and is
often a factor in the rate of development of
nations. In their acquisition of Asian colonies,
the European imperialists were driven by several
motives. They wanted new sources of raw materials
and precious metals, and (later) new markets; but
they also claimed that they were assuming

Major Sources of Discord between the Bolsheviks
and European States: 1917 to 1921 There were
several major sources that created discord between
the Bolsheviks and western states in Europe from
1917 to 1921. Conflicting ideologies that each
attacked the very fabric of the other's respective
society led to the notion that capitalism and
communism could not coexist. The attempts of both
actors to hold control of their own political
system and to expand their political ideas
internationally led to m...

Rainforest Deforestation: Do We Care Enough? The
villagers walk the charred ruins of their village,
looking for any personal possessions that can be
salvaged after the fire. Looking out from the
remains, they see the trucks already winding their
way up the newly made dirt road. Soon, the
landscape around their village will be irrevocably
changed as well. The loggers will strip the forest
of all trees, and then move on. They leave the
landscape barren, and allow erosion to destroy it
utterly. Sad...

Islamic Faith P 3

Setting up political and economic policies is the
most important task for newly developed
civilizations. The creation of an entire religion,
and ultimately a whole new society, as in the case
of Islam, requires thorough planning and
management of new guidelines to shape that
society. Muslim policy was shaped not by
democratic decision-making or dictatorship, but by
interpretations of Holy Scripture, such as the
Quran and the Hadiths. In the Fiscal Rescript of
Umar II, it is clear that most econo...

Bill Of Rights Alien And Sedition Acts

Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democracy are the same
in just about every regard. Their views and goals
as presidents are the same. Both are in favor of
the common man and feel that it is the common
people who should have the biggest influence on
government, not the wealthy aristocrats. They also
support states rights and feel that the federal
government should not get involved with the states
affairs. Both mens actions clearly show that the
common man does not include minorities. Both

The western frontier was a newly acquired asset
with unlimited potential for the United States.
Rich with mineral resources, fertile land, and
overall open space, the frontier was to be
prosperous indefinitely, but it was first

Forest Lands National Forest

When National Forests are logged, valuable
recreation, fishing, and hunting sites are
destroyed. When National Forests are logged,
municipalities, businesses, and domestic water
users downstream must pay for filtering logging
sediments out of water supplies. Economists found
that logging imposes costs in the order of $ 1. 94
per ton on downstream water users in the Little
Tennessee River basin. When National Forests are
logged, increased flooding destroys prime
farmland, washes out bridges and r...

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the
world was a quite small place for Europeans. While
they knew about China and Southern Africa, their
worldview was still focused on Europe and the
Mediterranean. Within 200 years, Europe would be
almost all over the world with settlement on
various continents. By 1700, most of the coastline
of the Americas would be under the domination of
Europeans. Meanwhile, with the European conquest

Rural Communities Natural Resource

In the Native community, we sort of feel the same
way about eco-tourism. We walk that fine line of
navigating between the ideals of development
(which would lead one to advocate rural tourism),
and the ideals of cultural tradition and integrity
(which might lead one to reject rural tourism). We
share this ambivalence, but recognize that these
two conflicting ideals are connected with the
ongoing dynamics of cultures and communities with
moral, political, economic and ecological forces

? For most people the years of youth are
characterized by a state of gradual awakening in

world and of him or herself, ? states Carl Jung in
Man and his Symbols (pg. 168). This is usually
accomplished through dreams or real events that
foresees the future in a symbolic form. Tenar,
later named Arha, was a little girl when she was

Priestess, as she was to bec...

United States Government Cherokee Nation

The pressures of white expansionism led the United
States Government to find ways to remove the
Native Americans from their fertile lands. Spurred
by this pressure, and the need to fulfill his
campaign promise to open Indian land for
settlement, Andrew Jackson pushed through Congress
the Removal Act. The Act allowed the government to
negotiate treaties with the various Native
American tribes, pay them for their lands,
relocate them to western lands, and support the
tribes for one year after remo...

Quot Quot Manifest Destiny
2,583 words
Albert J. Von Frank The ominous thirteenth line of
Robert Frosts " The Gift Outright" is
made to appear all the more ominous by its entire
lack of tonal and grammatical relationship with
any thing else in the poem, an isolation
signalled, of course, by the parentheses. Almost
by itself this line justifies Frosts own
characterization of the poem as being " about
Revolutionary War, " rather than, in a more
general way, about the forming of a spiritual
commitment to the land. Om...
