Scenario: In upstate New York there is a serene and beautiful lake area called aoeParadise Lakea . Paradise Lake is surrounded on one side by mountains with various types of foliage and huge beautiful trees that cover the mountain side which is owned by Mr. Forest. Mr. Forest has owned and cared for the property for over 30 years and he remembers planting the trees himself which took a long time. On the other side of the lake there is a resort owned by Mr. Lake. The lake resort has many amenities swimming pools, tennis courts, saunas etc. But the main reason guest go to the resort is to sit in their adirondack chairs (with their favorite beverage in hand) to watch the sun set in the evening below the back drop of the mountains and the beautiful trees across the lake. Problem: Mr. Lake (owner of the resort) hears that Mr. Forest (owner of the forest) is going to harvest (cut down) and sell the trees. Mr. Lake was shocked at the news and pondered what would happen to his resort as the main attraction for his guest is the gathering each evening watching the sun set with the backdrop of the forest. What will happen when all of the trees are gone? So, Mr. Lake says that would be terrible for the environment and I cannot let that happen I will get the local government and EPA involved to stop it for the betterment of society! Question to answer: Discuss who is right and who is wrong in this dispute, Mr. Lake or Mr. Forest? Provide the following in your discussion: Do you believe Mr. Lake has the right to get government involved? Do you believe the government should be involved in resolving the dispute? Explain why? Since trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere should the government seize Mr. Forest's property on the premise that the trees reduce global warming? Additional information: Later, what if you hear that Mr. Forest has a child that has been diagnosed with a medical condition which if not treated could be fatal. The treatments are very expensive. Mr. Forest needs the money from the tree harvest to pay for the medical treatments. Does this knowledge change your position on the matter? Please post your numbered responses to the above questions (300 word required minimum total for all questions)
