The Problem Of West Mendham

The first reason why the Great Wall was not worth the cost was because the wall was not very effective . The chin and Han dynasty's built the Great Wall to keep out invaders. People would walk around the spots where there wanot a wall built yet or a spot where guards were not on duty. ( Doc B ) The purpose was so that not as many guards would have to be on duty, but just as many guards were then as there were when the wall was not yet built. There were not guards protecting all spots of the wall, leaving it a blank opening for other enemies to enter. The wall was not just

How many people do you know who would gladly sacrifice their life to protect a dirt wall? Probably no one. The Great Wall of China was built by the Qin (221-206 BCE) and the Han (206 BCE-220 CE) to keep out the Xiongnu, their rivals in the north. It is estimated that the Qin built approximately 1,500 - 2,500 miles of the wall and the Han built 4,000 miles of it.  There is no query that building the wall provided people with jobs, but did the benefits truly outweigh these human costs? Of course not! The price was too costly to pay. The Great Wall wasn’t worth all the struggle. There were three main costs paid by the people of China: forced labor, death from starvation/hunger, and the loss of valuable resources.

The first benefit from building the wall was how it created jobs. More than a million chinese workers were put to work on the wall. So, all of the unemployed people in China now had a job where they could make money. This also gave jobs to other people because some of the people that went to work on the wall now have no one in their old job position. This means that possibly children or women took these places and everyone had a job. This is very beneficial to the people of China.

The lives ruined or lost in the building of the wall was the greatest cost. According to one ancient chinese scripture “During a ten year period of Qin Dynasty wall building, there was a heavy use of peasant laborers who worked seven days a week with little food.” And another scripture, “One campaign in 104 B.C. Reported 80% of Han Dynasty casualties.” (from attacks by the Xiongnu). The great wall of china was needed to protect the people of china from the northern nomads who wanted to pillage villages, but the great wall of china was actually very weak and the Xiongnu could even bribe their way in if they wanted. Any advantage of the wall do not justify any of the cost associated with building it. In all it is clear that the great wall of china should not have been built.

In Document A, the map shows the wall surrounding north china and created a barrier from the Xiongnu people. This shows the wall protected the Chinese people from the Xiongnu by preventing them from invading the land inhabited by the Chinese people. Also in Document A, it says watch towers estimated in the thousand, were placed 2 bow shots apart, stating that soldiers were constantly watching and staying alert for possible attacks. Document B discussed moving people to settle along the northern border, which would discourage invaders from the North. They would be less likely to invade, knowing there were people and troops in the area. Document D says Wu Di assigned thousands of soldiers to wall outpost and watchtowers to protect the merchant and caravans traveling along the trade routes. This allowed the merchants to travel with no fear because the wall protected them from being ambushed by invaders. Providing protection, is a huge benefit and was worth the

Most of the people here were against the project but the mayor completely ignored our suggestions and he even ignored the minister of the Environments suggestion, who suggested doing a study before doing any planning at all". (Obomsawin, 1993) The mayor was ignoring not only the Mohawk people from whom these decisions were directly affecting but the general consensus which was not necessarily in support of the expansion.

One of the wonders of the world today is the Great Wall of China which was inspired by none other than the Qin Dynasty. Other dynasties put in dedication to having the Great Wall constructed but the Qin Dynasty played a significant role in coming up with the idea for it. The Great Wall of China would benefit China greatly because it would serve as defense against nomadic tribes. Apart from being protected by nomadic tribes, the Great Wall would be a benefit for China’s forever. Other countries

was in a critical state, from this the University of New South Wales designed a new wall, a wall which is different from the conventional walls used to prevent erosion and

Although, the soldiers had to sacrifice their personal time too finish the wall that took over a 2,000 year period. With that in mind, many farmers were not able to feed people, because they were busy building the wall. The cost outweigh the benefits of the Great Wall. The wall made the people feel more protected and secure in their homes.

In the 19th century the U.S grew in size and power. After the Louisiana Purchase from France, which doubled the size of the country also opened up a bit better-known region to exploration and ultimate settlement. Soon, explorers were getting back from forays into the geographic region with stories of nice stretches of beauty and fertile land.That helped and encouraged the government and the people to move west and acquire more lands. Although the Western Expansion had a great effect on the Western Frontier which helped in forming railroads and helped the economy, but it had a huge effect on the Native People as they lost their lands and many died people

It is clear that the wall was worth the cost because, the security it provided increased trade and openness to new ideas. The wall served as a shield against the Xiongnu. The silk road was successful due to the protection the great wall provided. The silk road also brought along more ideas as well as openness to them. In conclusion the building of the wall was worth the cost due to its

The Great Wall of China was built by the Qin and Han dynasties. The main reason they built this structure was to keep out the northern invaders, known as the Mongols. However, the benefits of the Great Wall did not outweigh the costs. For example, Document C shows many soldiers left their families, and their villages for several years. Also, millions of soldiers and workers died from coldness, and hunger. This means that more lives were taken than actually saved, which isn't fair. It isn't fair because everyone was in the army risking their lives to build the wall for it to not be worth it. The wall wasn't worth it because according to Document B, Han still had to pay

Why should the the border finc be built? The number of people that cross the border is growing. People from other countries are starting to cross there(Lee). It needs to be stopped before the next big terrorist attack is planned from someone that got in illegally. The wall would make it harder for drugs and people trafficking to get in the U.S . There is a large number of gang activity that originates from the border(lukens). The

Dick has been overly optimistic about the project in my opinion, giving most of these factors the benefit of the doubt. The $4.1 Million subsidy package was verbal which in business is good for nothing. He and his team saw dollar signs when they found cheap land with free government TIF money on the table and started putting in more time and money until they found themselves here. He has different risks contingent upon other risks such as the Bank One loan requiring a purchase and sale agreement but the Village of Woodland having power to deny the purchase and sale agreement of any potential buyers. With that said he has done a decent job managing what he could, and no one can see when market crashes come. Sometimes developers are left sitting with a project like this and in a tough spot. Perhaps they should have had other deals in the pipeline they could choose instead of having all the team’s time and his investors’ money in one deal. Though he has past experience dealing with such issues, he should not have let his team become so invested. He needs to decide if he should jump

What would happen if Z CORP executives took David's suggestion and presented their problem to the city (if it is a problem)? Would city bureaucrats spot Z CORP's financial difficulties and attempt to work out a reasonable agreement with Z CORP? If Z CORP executives knew the city would be willing to do an agreement - perhaps by providing Z CORP added tax relief - they would not hesitate with David's suggestion. It is unknown to how the city of Gilbane would respond to this situation, but assumptions as to how the city would react can have a great influence on an executive's position on what should be done.
