ur mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serious threa

ts to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic success here. Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers. What type of essay is this, primarily? narrative persuasive expository descriptive

The main theme of this essay is to expose the disadvantages of building housing developments on ridgetops, thereby accomplishing the purpose of urging readers to dissuade such developments.  From the nature of its one sided view of the disadvantages of ridgetop development, it is definitely a persuasive essay.

In Chapter 1 of Six Myths About the Good Life, Kupperman argues that it is wrong to believe that pleasure will always lead to th
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Six Myths About the Good Life is a book published in 2006 and written by Joel J. Kupperman about values; when it comes to his argument about "pleasure not always leading to the optimal"  Kupperman says that the constant pursuit of pleasure is just anxiety, a compulsion for more regardless of any consequences and the evidence of a deeper existential and psychological trauma due to their inability to get fulfilment or gratification. He also states that life with infinite pleasures would be boring. I believe that from those arguments, the most convincing one would be the 1st one where the constant pursuit of pleasure not always lead to an optimal outcome or satisfaction, especially if anxiety is involved to the extent of people not aware of what actually makes them happy and going for the next pleasant target without consciously enjoying what they already obtained but going by inertia.
