How did the Once-ler's business affect all the other Once-lers' behavior?
in the movie the lorax

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss (Random House, ©1971),

is a story told to a young boy about the ruin of

a forest community when a young inventor

uses up all the forest’s resources in order

to fulfill the demand for his new product,

the thneed. The Lorax, who protects the

forest, warns the young inventor, the

Once-ler, about what will happen if he

does not take care of the environment

but the Once-ler ignores him. As the

Once-ler’s business booms, he asks his family

to move to the forest and work in the factory

with him. Soon, more and more people

move to the forest. Increased

population pressures and

excessive use of the resources

have a devastating result

on the forest.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
