FIR 3307, Community Risk Reduction for the Fire and Emergency Services 4 If you believe you are highly competent in an area score yourself a “4” or “5.” If you believe you are average in an area based on someone at your rank and tenure, score yourself a “3.” If you believe you are weak in an area and require more development or training in order to be effective, score yourself a “1” or “2.” Remember, you are not scoring yourself against another person. Your assessment should be of your ability to be an effective leader of a change initiative. For each area you scored yourself a “3” or more, justify your answer based on your own experience. If you score a “2” or less in an area, determine personal action you can take to improve your ability in that area.

2.Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:

• Identify three of the most environmentally negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution and justify your choices. For example, the invention of the automobile revolutionized travel in a positive manner. However, this invention is causing some of the biggest environmental problems as a result of the extensive use of oil extracted from the earth.
• Examine how these three negative impacts changed the environment; list the mechanisms through which this happened. For example, factories caused an increase in pollution through the release of toxic waste, which led to diminished and lost fish populations in rivers.
• Explain the effect of the environmental movement on the process of industrialization in the United States during the 1970s.
• Identify the laws passed to help ameliorate the environmental issues in the U.S. or around the world related to these three impacts. Have any laws been passed since this movement in the 1970s? If there have been laws implemented, summarize the spirit of the law and comment on the effectiveness of the law.
• Based on your research, examine whether the state of the environment has become worse or has improved as a result of these laws. Suggest steps to improve the environmental situation.
