...Eco Terrorism Eco-terrorism is the term used to describe the violence in the interests of environmentalists. There have been cases when environmentalists have inflicted damage to the industrial factories, due to the fact that, they cause pollution and other environmental problems. According to Manning (2012), “Eco-terrorism can be defined as the act of violence or sabotage against person and property commits and support animal right activist.” There are some organizations that participate in it, such as, Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF). These organizations managed to burn down a ski resort and blow up a laboratory among other things. On the other hand, some groups such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are labeled as eco-terrorists although they do not commit such acts of violence against humans- they do not attempt to injure or kill people, but only provoke people through property. This has led to a debate that touches on whether or not to classify these actions as "terrorist" or not. The FBI has given the environmentalists a definition ‘the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, sub national group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.’ John Lewis, a top FBI official says, ‘The number one domestic terrorism threat is the eco-terrorism, animal-rights movement.” Eco-Terrorists...

...English 122 Nature vs. Man In the world now there are views of what can or should be done with the environment, use what is available to save any animal/plant/bug for the future. Then there are the options that go between those two extremes. Looking at some of the views from our readings as well as other sources, we’ll see what is looked at as right and wrong ways to use and preserve nature. There are many views on how the Earth should be used or preserved, but the how to do it with the world’s increasing population makes the answer so important to those that will come after us. While not about nature, Aldous Huxley’s “Time and the Machine” talks about time and how man has made himself a slave to time. Knowing that we have a limited amount of time in our lives, many want to do as much to fill that time as can be done. Most in the western world view time as something that needs to be taken advantage of, that there’s always a deadline for creating or making something. In some eastern cultures, there isn’t the hurry seen like we have. They aren’t as concerned for man-made time as they have “not been made conscious of the existence of minutes.” (Huxley, 366) He goes on to say that people living in large cities can live “without being aware of the daily march of the sun across the sky; without ever seeing the moon and stars.” (Huxley, 366) This goes to show that people are too into the passing of time and don’t look at taking time to relax and exist with nature. ...

...Mercedes Davis English 091 March 11, 2011 An Open Reader Reading is the foundation of our life. Without reading we would be like lost souls in the world. Everywhere we go and anything we do we have to read; at work, school, driving, etc. People who do not know how to read are limited in life, they cant get a job, and the everyday life would be a struggle. Someone who knows how to read has no restrictions, the sky is the limit for them, they are our lawyers, doctors, and teachers. In Moody’s article “The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading”, he expressed his love for the unpopular selections, and how he learned how to dissect his readings. Moody also states that nobody will ever be able to tell him how to read, and also believes there is no right or wrong way to read. In Moody’s article “The Joy and Enthusiasm of Ready”, he explains his high school and college reading experiences. He tells us how his, Mr. Buxton, taught him how to analyze Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Mr. Buxton did not give him his own interpretation and made sure Moody noticed how Shakespeare repeated somethings to help Moody come to a conclusion. In eleventh grade Moody’s teacher Mr. Flanders encouraged Moody to develop his own relationship with the Gospels, in his religious studies. Then Moody continued onto college where he read Umberto Eco’s Role of the Reader, where he was introduced to Eco’s “Open Text” philosophy. He also read some of the great European and Latin Americans articles. After his...

...Week 6: Final Business Proposal John A. Acosta ECO/ 561 April 23, 2014 Dan Olsen Week 6: Final Business Proposal Introduction Thomas Money Service Inc. has been in business since 1940 and has grown in the market as a finance industry. The company started off with financing small loans for household needs and increased throughout the years to financing business equipment in 1946 with a subsidiary name Future Growth Inc. (FGI), where it gained a huge market share with rapid speed. This business proposal will benefit the company because it is in a time frame where there is a high demand for equipment. Their move in 1946 to branch out into equipment financing moved them forward into the right direction. They saw that after World War II, everyone was coming home from the war. As people were coming home, new businesses were booming in construction and forestry and equipment were needed in these businesses. In 1951 made a daring move to purchase a manufacturing company, giving them an advantage in the market of selling their equipment and financing it and eventually just selling their own equipment instead of other brands. For over 60 years Thomas Money Service Inc. has increased profits year after year Increase Revenue / Profit –Maximizing Quantity In order for Thomas Money Service Inc. to reach their optimum point, they need to know where their marginal cost and marginal revenue meet.

...Entrepreneurship The business I chose is “Recycled Jewelry” basically it is jewelry made from recycled materials and it would be made by hand. The business aims to develop eco-conscious lifestyle and encourage an eco-friendly routine. Market size: Recycled jewelry business is mainly suitable for the feminine gender, as well this product targets low and medium class and all women are a target, Competition: because this business idea is relatively new and unique to our region, there is almost no direct competition as there are no recycled jewelry shops operating in the country. However there are some indirect competition and this gives the recycled jewelry business an advantage as there are no direct competition in the market. Industry: knowing that the recycled jewelry industry is fairly small sized and relatively new and did not exist decades ago, I couldn’t find an exact figure as a result of that. However this type of business is more common in the western world as there are more eco-conscious individuals. Trends: in this business it is important to keep up with new trends and focus on that to attract customers, as females in this society aims to keep up with trends influenced by the western world, the jewelry pieces will regularly keep up with the changing trends to avoid shift in customers interest and meet their demand. Costs: since the products would be made from recycled materials and the tools used to make these products are simple the cost would be low. Appropriate...
