Which argument does the speech "conservation as a national duty” best support? a)natural resources should be protected. b)natural resources are not in danger c)natural resources will last forever. d)natural resources are not useful.

The correct answer is A.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1918) was the 26th President of the United States. He always supported and highlighted the importance of environmental protection and of policymaking on that issue. An evidence of his viewpoint could be appreciated in his speech "Conservation as a National Duty”, performed in 1908, where he analyzed the environmental impacts that the industralization process that was taking place in the US in early 20th would generate and encouraged to deal with them accordingly.

can we each -wise?

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
