Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, has always been better known for his Watergate Scandal, which led to his resignation from office in 1973. However, this President was also known for the focus he gave to the enviromental topic, which was avid since the 1950´s and became even more important in the U.S public eye after the famous oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969. Although many criticize Nixon because they say he wasn´t really interested in the environmental movement at all, the truth is that at least for political reasons, Nixon passed several bills that reinforced the preeminence and importance of the environment for the federal government. Aside from the Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act, one of the biggest pieces of law he signed was the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, because it gave the environmentalist movement the power and the influence to control matters of environment from the high seat of the federal government. From being just a civilian movement, the formation of the EPA showed the precedence of nature in American politics and it became the central topic for election and re-election of members of one or the other party. This is why the correct answer is B.
President Theodore Roosevelt oversaw the realization of a long-term United States goal—a trans-isthmian canal. Throughout the 1800's, American and British leaders and businessmen wanted to ship goods quickly and cheaply between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Answer:
The critique of capitalism refers to views and theories that criticize the economic order that spreads with industrialization, which is based on private property, market economy, capital accumulation, dependent wage labor and the individual pursuit of profit, either in principle or in individual aspects.
Hardly different from capitalism itself, the history of criticism of capitalism dates back to the 19th century. The criticism is expressed in individual elements of capitalism such as money and interest management, private ownership of means of production and maximization of profit as well as the consequences attributed to them such as exploitation and impoverishment of the working class.
Practical criticism of capitalism can manifest itself in the establishment of cooperatively organized companies and banks or alternative economic sectors as well as in the partial or full takeover of individual economic segments by actors who pursue less individual pursuit of profit than tasks and goals oriented towards the common good.
