Cheaper methods of production are more harmful to the environment. 

If a company wants to make money at the highest levels they will forego the environmental protections on their factories or transportation because it cost more money. For example factories to be environmentally friendly need to put filters and special air purifying machines within the factory. With the introduction of the EPA in the 1970s, many companies began moving factories to other countries so they did not have to incur the expense of modifying their factories for environmental standards.

That is because environmental issues are usually expensive in the short term and nobody wants to risk their money in such investments. It is economically inefficient to pursue environmental interests so many just opt to pursue personal wealth.

What type of response did the Curtis Act evoke from the Five Civilized Tribes
Zarrin [17]

The Curtis Act of 1898 was an amendment to the Dawes Act. It was about policies concerning the people living in American Indian territories, and it's main objectives were to abolish tribal government, control and register tribe members, amongst other things, in order to integrate the native population into the American society.

The Curtis Act affected the independence and power of American tribes and its members, including the Five Civilized Tribes. Since the Curtis Act's policies and new rules were being forced upon the natives (and affected a huge portion of their lives, including policies concerning land possession and division), many tribe members were against it.

What made the photo of the Migrant Mother so powerful?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The image of a worried but resilient mother was so powerful that it prompted the government to send 20,000 pounds of food to relieve starvation in a migrant worker camp. It may have also helped inspire John Steinbeck's literary classic The Grapes of Wrath.

Explanation:

From the moment it first appeared in the pages of a San Francisco newspaper in March 1936, the image known as “Migrant Mother” came to symbolize the hunger, poverty and hopelessness endured by so many Americans during the Great Depression.

In 1936 Florence Thompson allowed Dorothea Lange to photograph her family because she thought it might help the plight of the working poor. One of them, Migrant Mother, became the iconic photo of the Depression, and one of the most familiar images of the 20th century.
