n November 2014, Taseko (a Canadian headquartered mining company) acquired Curis
Resources, the owner of the Florence Copper Project. This project is an advanced-stage in-situ copper recovery (ISCR) project in central Arizona. Florence Copper is located midway between
Phoenix and Tucson in the community of Florence. The property has been the focus of mineral exploration and development activities since the 1960s. The Florence Copper Project is a possibility only because of a rare copper deposit. This deposit is amidst Arizona’s Historic
Copper Corridor, a region that flourishes in copper mining history. This large copper ore-body lies 400 to 1,200 feet below the surface of private and state-owned land (In-situ).

Florence Copper Mining Project has struggled with putting its operation in motion because of a rich history of controversy and public antagonism. Since the land was purchased in the 1960’s, it has not passed through the public eye without thorough judgement. Both the town of Florence and many other independent entities have critiqued the Florence Copper Project, specifically regarding their technology and the environment. The Florence
Copper Project must prove its abilities to abide and withhold the state and federal air, water, and worker safety standards or it will again, fail to reach production.
The opposition consists mainly of Florence community members as well as a handful of law firms and outsider entities. They view the company as a threat to the eco-system and the community. At the Florence court house the FCP often holds public hearings. This gives individuals the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns about the project. At each hearing both sides of the argument are represented. The opposition often speaks on the topics of how the project may influence or harm the Florence air and water quality. The advocates of

Modern day society could not function without the laborious production of copper.
The Florence Copper Project will provide precious metals and other natural resources to its community and the world so that they can enjoy both a basic living standard, as well as the ability to grow in technological innovation. It is without argument that project has an environmental footprint. With that being stated, it is vital that the industry diligently toils towards upholding their efficient and environmentally accommodating processes to retrieve these resources. It is also factual to state that mining is a necessity for modern civilization to function and prosper.
The most dominant worry concerning the Florence Copper project is damage to a large underground water system. Individuals are concerned that the sulfuric acid solution will be injected into the ground and leak into the water systems, making it impure and unsafe to drink.
The backers argue that In-situ copper recovery is an environmentally responsible way of extracting copper from the ground. A low-pH solution similar in strength to household vinegar
It should be an environmental social responsibility that all business respect the living life of any human/species, and to respect the lands Native Americans and what is rightfully theirs. This meaning that they shouldn’t build
Listening to another’s point of view is a grossly under-appreciated skill of which is essential to win arguments and debates. Listening and truly understanding what another has to say allows you to exploit areas of limited knowledge, a bad argument, etc.; whereas, if all you intend to do is spew vacuous grandiloquence, you’ll never touch on their opinion, therefore heavily undermining persuasiveness.

At the show are rocks, minerals, gemstones, rough rock, jewelry, beads, and fossils. Arizona is known for their Turquoise stones, it’s even the official state gemstone.

In the excerpt by Deborah Tannen entitled, The Argument Culture: Moving from Debate to Dialogue Tannen speaks about the oppositional nature of public discourse. She expressed her thoughts on how we are determined to seek certainty by using arguments from two different standpoints, as if there are no additional angles that can be examined. Oftentimes, there are more than two sides of an issue, but due to the way society has taught us, we only look at issues from two extreme perspectives. I find Dr. Tannen to be extremely intelligent in her observations of how people communicate using debates and opposition as a means to express what we believe to be true. Although Americans habitually view issues from only two extreme points of view, dialogue solves more problems than debates because it does not cause division among people as frequently as debates does.
Many people believe that the more they listen to those whom they disagree with, the more probability to convince opponents to accept their own positions. This perspective, however, holds only a little truth because opponents’ opinions do not always deserve to be listened to. In addition, listening is devoid of effectiveness to persuade opponents. Therefore, it is more crucial to speak than to listen in attempting to persuade others.
Tucson, Arizona home of the University of Arizona, and home to a large population of retirees. Tucson has seen many visitors in it’s time from Native American tribes like the Hohokam to the Coronado expedition trail in search of the “Seven Cities of Gold,” according to Tucson City’s History site (2016). Arizona is known for its 5 C’s, Cactus, Cattle, Citrus, Cotton and Copper. This rich state of resources houses a diverse population of mountain ranges, streams, plant life, and a sunset to live for. Tucson does have challenges that it does face, severe drought, and over population due to Tucson’s attractive cost of living.
Hot Springs, Arkansas is nestled in the heart of the Ozark Mountains among the U.S. Interior Highlands. Hot Springs National Park is the first National Park in the country situated about 55 miles southwest of Little Rock. The thermal waters fed by natural springs have been popularly believed to possess therapeutic healing properties. Following federal protection in 1832, the city flourished as a spa town. A hub of tourism, these springs have attracted the multitudes since the early 1900s. “Bathhouse Row” as it is lovingly referred to, has taken full advantage of the thermal hot waters and does so still today utilizing the 47 springs within the area. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Gangsters such as Al
Arizona became the 48th state February 14, 1912. This state is very populated. It has over 5 million people. Arizona has something that is known as the four corners. One person can be in four states at one time. You can stand in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. Arizona leads the nation in copper production. The amount of copper on the roof of the capitol building is equivalent to 4,800,000 pennies. In 1953 after the copper mines closed there was as few as 50 people in Arizona.
Before the argument begins, the persuader needs to know what his audience is thinking, their values, and their views.

Mining is the procedure of retrieving coal or other minerals from a mine. This issue has many reasons why we should and should not ban mining. We should not ban the retrieval of coal and minerals as it provides most of the products and items we need in our everyday lives, also, mining is an essential in the development of bigger and better cities. However, we should ban this due to the fact that it is harming the environment everyday due to pollution, deforestation, etc.

Az has the most significant ratio of land specified as Indigenous American tribal land. Phoenix south mountain preserve is the major municipal park in the national country. The world's most
The proposed plan was to make tunnels through the Yucca Mountains. In 2010, President Barack Obama stopped the Yucca Mountains license review. He wanted a study commission to recommend a new policy for the long-term management of nuclear and radioactive waste (NEI). The president is looking out for the natives in some sense, but as you will see later in my paper, that is not true. Since 2010, the site has been abandoned because of the legal battles going on and no waste has been put there (ICTMN Staff). With the site for now not operational, there is still a chance that it could have waste in it soon.
In 1987, the U.S. Congress passed the Amendments to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act that designated Yucca Mountain 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas as the top site to store nuclear waste from across the country.
