When Maggie Glenn, an upstate South Carolina photographer, takes an almost propagandist picture of Mr. Kowalsky looking sad staring at the river of where his passed daughter rests this story picks up fire and politicians from the surrounding area get involved to help get this man’s daughter out of the river, which maddens the locals who would not like to see the only free flowing river in the state be tampered with. Installing a temporary dam in the Tamassee River to retrieve the body of twelve year old Ruth Kowalsky seems like a good, safe way to securely recover this little girl’s body, but the law clearly states “certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” Then it states “alteration of modification of the streambed will not

The Buffalo Creek Flood killed many people in the February of 1972. After the flood, Pittston not only didn’t admit the responsibility, but also claimed it as a natural disaster, called it “an act of god,” and later on claimed and blamed that the Buffalo Mining Company was a separate division altogether and that Pittston couldn’t be responsible for its actions. Furthermore, since Pittston rushed to settle the survivors with only 4000 dollars for the survivors from the flood, the survivors are angry with that. So it triggered the survivors to look for a law firm that is Arnold & Porter, and to represent them and seek for justice. After the flood, many people lose everything, and they had no choice but to accept these offers because they couldn’t wait until the lawsuit to follow through, not even guarantee that they will be compensated or win lawsuits.

I wonder if any of you remember the nurses' descent on the nation's capital on March 1995 led by Laura Gasparis-Vonfrolio. She was able to close Pennsylvania Avenue on a week day with over 30,000 nurse activists. She tried to expose the corporate greed of hospitals that did not care about the bedside nurse. She was against the management who had no conception of what nurses at the bedside go through, nor what nurses' jobs entails. She was against the micromanagement of nurses.
George Mueller’s arrest caused eight thousand steel and electrical workers in the Pittsburgh district to strike in protest. Mueller wanted them to return to work, but the union members had a meeting and voted to not consider a company offer about their wages until the court lifted its antistrike injunction. Due to the strike many stores closed, and the trolley service was reduced to 50 per cent of what it was before.

During the 1854 cholera breakout in London, many factors contributed to the resistance to innovation regarding the causation of this disease. Class prejudices, folklore, and the general acceptance of the miasmas theory created a resistance so strong that thousands of Londoners died before the Board of Public Health finally accepted the possibility that cholera was being spread through drinking water. John Snow, a highly acclaimed anesthesiologist of the time, developed a theory that suggested a possible reason for the sudden wave of illness throughout the streets of London. After countless days walking the disease-stricken streets of south London, many hours spent pondering the day’s research, and personal intuition that told him that problems with the digestive system
