The National Park system was started in order to preserve the splendor of nature and to make that splendor available to current and future generations. Now these goals seem to compete with one another. Should access to the national parks be restricted? Should development around the parks be limited? Are the goals incompatible, and should they be modified? Choose a position on this topic and defend it.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should include some discussion of what damage is being done by allowing access to the parks. The issue of commercial development around the parks and the strangulation of the park ecosystems by these activities may also be appropriate. How to solve these problems will be subjective, but should be based in addressing the specific problems.
