Abstract
This paper shows how prevention is the key to eliminating the continuation of environmental degradation and how environmental law makes sure that objective is realized. Environmental law has come a long way in cleaning up the mess created by man-made pollution. The paper examines both the Clean Air Act of 1963 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 set out to rectify the insurmountable degradation overtaking the air, water and soil supplies. It shows that with their continued efforts, ongoing improvements will serve to further the purpose these two acts were established for in the first place.
From the Paper
"The environment has been in trouble for a long time. Decades and decades of misuse, exploitation and degradation have placed a tremendous burden upon the land to the point where humanity is having to scramble to preserve what is left. Re-establishing what has already been destroyed, as well as protecting what still exists, is what environmentalist and government agencies are working feverishly to achieve. With the support of environmental law, significant trends have been established to rectify damage already done and prevent any further from occurring."

Abstract
This paper will argue that protection of the environment has traditionally been an ostentatious good that only the rich countries can afford. Sustainable development has been considered an oxymoron. In simple terms, excessive care for the environment has been demographically and economically unfeasible. It will also be argued, however, that in recent years significant progress has been made towards environmental protection through inter-governmental organizations such as APEC and the WTO.

From the Paper
"We often talk about protecting animals and giving them their rights. Animal rights' activists argue about which rights are due to animals and which rights to animals are due to human beings. I argue that this dialogue is unhelpful to animals, just as it is unhelpful to human beings. Rather than argue about rights, I contend that we should construct a system of duties and obligations under which human beings will have varied responsibilities towards animals. Such a system already exists under Jewish law, a system devoid of human rights and animal rights, but rich with human responsibility and obligations towards mankind, animals, and the environment."

From the Paper
"In the summer of 1988, for the first time in its history, a thin layer of smog lingered over the streets of Copenhagen. It was nothing like the great haze seen in Los Angeles or Tokyo, but just enough to make breathing a little harder for people with allergies or asthma. That same summer the inhabitants viewed an explosive growth in the number of yellow algae in the Kattegat between Jutland and Sweden, an incident that reportedly kept a large number of tourists away from the beaches that year. At the same time, Thorvaldesen?s Museum in Copenhagen decided to remove a statue from the roof because acid rain had corroded it so badly that they were afraid it would break."

Abstract
This paper investigates the feasibility of incorporating the concept of sustainable development into commercial bank business lending decisions. It discusses how this approach, if feasible, will provide a mechanism that will link effectively accountability and corporate social responsibility toward the physical environment through a relatively routine, but nevertheless crucial, business process. The mechanism proposed and investigated involves corporate managers, commercial bank lending officers and financial accountants and is based in both financial accounting and accounting for sustainable development (ASD).
It assesses the feasibility of integrating the concept of sustainable development generally and ASD more specifically into financial accounting analyzes used by commercial banks in the decision-making process for the extension of business loans.

From the Paper
"The most typical approach to the protection of the environment is through the application of non-market activities by government. Several economists, however, suggest that market approaches would be more effective. Within the context of this suggestion, environmental damage is viewed as an externality. The typical approach to economic externalities is based upon two assumptions. First, the assumption is that externalities are harmful, and second, it is assumed that they are unidirectional. Based upon these assumptions, solutions to the problems thus created have tended to be one of the following three types: (1) require the entity creating the externality to pay damage to those injured by its existence; (2) tax the entity creating the externality by an amount equivalent to the damage caused; or (3) prohibit those activities in areas where harmful externalities would be created."

"At the San Ramon center, Chevron engineers are using the latest computer modeling techniques to pinpoint underground oil deposits halfway around the world. Procurement experts are negotiating contracts to deliver the latest oil drilling equipment from the central mountains of Papua New Guinea to the wind-swept deserts of Kazakhstan. Economic analysts keep a close eye on the world price of oil to determine when to pump more oil from overseas wells and when to cut back. Accountants analyze budgets from COPI operations on five continents and 23 countries. All this activity is critical to the future of San Francisco-based Chevron, which is steadily cutting back on its investment in U.S. oil drilling because of tight environmental regulations and because easy-to-reach domestic oil is disappearing."

Protecting Home Buyers, 2008.
This paper looks at agencies and laws dealing with the protection of home buyers.

»

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the various agencies and laws which exist to protect home buyers in the real estate transaction process, from securing the necessary credit to dealing with real estate agents. The paper devotes a great deal of time looking at what rights new home purchasers have with regards to gaining access to credit, for it is credit that ultimately determines whether any such purchase will be possible in the first place. Furthermore, the paper also peers into the legislation geared towards protecting those who wish to buy homes from others, but who may have to deal with antiquated racist attitudes in the process. Lastly, the paper offers a brief critique of the available literature and what it appears to suggest about the measures presently in place to protect home buyers in America.
From the Paper
"Other organizations contribute in other ways. For example, Wood reports in a 2005 study he also conducted on behalf of the Government Accounting Office that the Department of Agriculture and Urban Development's Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service guaranteed roughly $136 billion in mortgages for multi-family rental housing, for various health care facilities and, most importantly for our purposes, for single family homes. Apparently overgenerous to a fault, both organizations have also had to suspend their issuance of guarantees in the past because they went over the dollar amounts they were permitted to spend under their commitment authority or, in a closely-related vein, because they went over the dollar limits prescribed to them under their credit subsidy budget authority for a given year. Needless to say, the result of these suspensions is that many families which rely upon the aforementioned loan guarantees find themselves faced with unexpected financial hardships. Wood reports that, while both programs have many things which commend themselves, the simple fact of the matter is that the FHA and RHS loan guarantee programs operate on a first-come, first-served basis - a practice which can easily discriminate against poor families who lack knowledge about the programs."

Hinduism and Environment, 2001.
A discussion on the Hindu religion's view of nature and environment.
1,420 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 6 sources, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of environment in Hindu culture in religion. Hinduism lays immense stress on the protection of the environment, which they feel is an integral a part of man, and casts its influence on human beings. Therefore they preach protection of the ecology that includes everything from trees and groves to wild animals and birds.
From the Paper
"The nature and environment have immense importance in the Hindu religion and man is advised not to tamper with the ecological balance as it plays a great role in man?s life. No religion of the world stresses as much importance on the preservation of the environment as Hinduism does. The Mahabharata, Ramayana, Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad, Gita, Puranas and Smriti are all holy books of this religion and they contain messages regarding the significance of ecology and environment in the life of man."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This huge disparity can be best explained by referring back to one of the most predominant differences in the purposes of the racially hierarchical systems in place in each country. The Jim Crow laws were passed because Southern state lawmakers were struggling to protect and preserve the white supremacy that they had always lived with, and prevent African-American advancement as a necessary part of this objective. Yet in Germany, the Nazi party's goal was always the total extermination of all undesirables, including Jews, and the legislative deprivation of citizenship was at least in some respects merely a means to that end. Finally, to go along with this fundamental difference, there is one last similarity between the racial laws of these countries: the painful memories of both the Holocaust and the Jim Crow era, and all of the violations of rights, liberties and freedoms that comprised both of these experiences, are certainly still fresh in the recollection of all nations involved, and are still highly prominent historical issues today even as those who lived through these events are increasingly no longer with us."

Abstract
This paper examines the Democratic and Republican parties and their basic differences, followed by an overview of the history of environmental legislation. The paper portrays an understanding regarding what efforts each party has put into protecting and preserving the environment in the past and what efforts are being currently made regarding the future of environmental conservation.
From the Paper
"Although it is now common for politicians to run on platforms that are designed to attract as many voters as possible, giving birth to compassionate conservatives and moderate liberals, there are still some fundamental differences to the parties, in general. The Republican Party policies tend to be based on laisez-faire economics where businesses are left fairly unregulated in hopes that consumer demands will restrict their actions to what is socially acceptable. The less government involvement in one?s professional or personal life the better. It follows that many Republican politicians tend to cater to businesses and business promotion, recognizing that strong businesses create a strong America. However, Democrats often feel that this attention to business needs means that issues, such as environmental protection, fall along the wayside."

Child-Context Interaction and the Environment, 2002.
This paper discusses the long-term influence parents have on the development of their child, the effect the environment has on this relationship and the consequence this child-context interaction has on the child?s further adjustment to the environment

Abstract
The paper demonstrates that child-context interaction that begins as bonding at birth and continues through the first four years of a child?s life is a strong factor in the child?s ability to adjust to the environment and will effect the child for the majority of his life. The author presents research showing that if children have close and healthy relationships with their parents, these children will do better in adjusting to different environments including difficult neighborhoods and schools. He shows how the family?s culture and the neighborhood in which they live also can shape child-context interaction.
From the Paper
"As the mother and child work together to find the missing puzzle piece, their ability to think and problem solve will be developing. Most of the time the way a child interacts with one parent will be different than when both parents are available. The relationship with mothers are usually nurturing while the relationship with the father is more realistic. They want to be strong and not cry when they get hurt when they are with their father. However, if they are with their mother and they fall and hurt their knee, they want to cry and get a band-aid. The child learns ways to interact with others through the interactions between child-father, between child-mother, and between child-both parents."

Human Resources and the Business Environment, 2002.
A discussion of the changing business environment and the role of human resources in that environment.

Abstract
This paper examines how as the business environment in which most companies operate has changed, the role of the human resource function has changed, as well. It looks at how human resource professionals used to serve as personnel specialists who worked largely outside the realm of strategic management and how they are now an integral part of the strategic focus of a company. It evaluates how human resource professionals now take a proactive role in helping companies attract and retain the highest quality workers who are able to meet the needs of the organization not only in the immediate future, but over the long term. Human resource managers are in a unique position to bring change to organizations since they are increasingly being included in senior management and since they work closely with other managers as well as lower-level employees.

From the Paper
"Increasingly, organizations are including human resource professionals in the strategic planning sessions which take place at the executive level. Where once personnel specialists would react to the strategic plan by trying to find employees who could help the company achieve its goals, human resource professionals are now active participants in determining those plans. Based on their familiarity of the workforce in the local region (or in remote areas, in some cases), human resource professionals can offer guidelines as to how much a particular strategy will cost in terms of human resources, and whether the company has the right people on staff currently or whether new employees will have to be hired and trained. In some cases, retraining of current employees will take place concurrently with hiring new employees."
