There are many disadvantages to hard engineering that can effect not only the environment but people. The main disadvantages to hard engineering are that for one they are very aesthetically displeasing to some people and can take up a vast amount of room. Two, they are incredibly expensive for the amount that is usually used. Another problem is that if a sea wall breaks during a storm then the effects of that storm will seem a lot worse just like in river’s where if a levee breaks during a flood the effects are a lot worse. Another thing with hard engineering, going back to the costs is that not all of the countries in the world can afford to have hard engineering management strategies.
A county that have most fracking is now more polluted than Los Angeles. Doctors also said because of fracking the cancer rate in people is increasing. People can’t be treated because the substances used in fracking are unknown.

Professor Pierce HIST 2020-501 “Regulated Influence” Without the free market enterprise the country would fail. You could see civil liberties slip away one by one. The freedoms of each and every person could be at stake. The American way of life could cease to exist. In the late 1800s times were tough, living and working was brutal, due to the conditions and the lack of safety regulations, scarce supplies of food, over population due to the vast amounts of immigrants filled the cities, money was hard to come by, because monopolies were controlling the market place, influencing consumer pricing and purchasing the “haves” could get it, while the “have not’s” had to fight for it (Doc-4).
Sudden population growth, crowding, and lack of municipal services made urban problems more serious than they had been in the past. Inadequate facilities for sewage disposal, air and water pollution, and diseases made urban life unhealthy and contributed to high infant mortality and short life expectancy (mainly for the poor). 3. Reports of the horrors of slum life led to municipal reforms that began to alleviate the ills of urban life after the mid-nineteenth century. B.
Personal misfortune through injury or death decrease the size and eminence of work in the labor force. Also damage to buildings and equipment used on a daily reduce the amount of investment needed to provide goods and services. Natural disasters often destroy people’s possessions while also contaminating air and water, killing fish and wildlife, and damage’s other natural assets. Likewise, “U.S. Gulf Coast, a major producer of oil for much of the nation.
The high population density created squalid living conditions that were ideal places for diseases that resulted in illnesses and death. Soon enough, buildings were being built taller to accommodate more people, the poor construction due to employers attempting to control the productivity of their workers created dangerous working conditions, especially during fires. With such a large population, it was often difficult to provide the best possible standard of living for everybody. As entrepreneurs created large, successful corporations that provided them with vast amounts of wealth, laborers, both skilled and unskilled, remained outside of the economic circle, living in poverty. During these times, the economy was dominated by several men that possessed
Due to the different ethnicities, many immigrants found the transition to American life quite difficult, despite their efforts to ease the transition by assimilation into U.S. society. (Schultz, 2014) The repaid expansion of American cities caused the appearance of tenements, something never before seen. The tenements were narrow four to five-story buildings with few windows, limited plumbing and electricity. (Schultz, 2014) The tenements nurtured disease, high infant mortality, and horrendous issues with pollution, and were often the site of racial and ethnic
This is the cause of many economic issues such as decreasing job opportunities, rising costs, injustice, and crime. Border security breach for the country as a whole and in particular for the residents of the town may cause ecological imbalance by over populating the locality. It is hard to find, when an illegal immigrant commits a crime it takes much longer to sentence him. The government has created to help people that do not have the funds for things such as health care, food, and other things. The taxpayers pay for these programs.
These runoffs have contributed to the beach closures, and the unsustainable condition of biological life in the lake. Human health is at great risk due to the untreated waste that is dumped in Lake Huron each year. The untreated sewage contains many viruses, two being Giardia (an intestinal parasite), cryptosporidium, which causes intestinal illnesses and even death. E. coli a more familiar virus has elevated its concentrations in Lake Huron, found in either animal or human feces, which causes diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. ("Testing the waters,"
This would result in sewage spills and environmental contamination. The water discharge would cause the drinking water to become contaminated with bacteria and put everyone at a great health risk. This would leave showers and bathrooms useless because of the overcharge. The biggest issue facing the American correctional system is prisons being overcrowded. The laws because of advancing technology has caused more criminals to be brought to justice.
