6. Explain these changing environmental elements: a. Economic Forces – Economically, the crew was doing great. They were stealing from the rich and giving directly to the poor. What could go wrong here? I’m certain those who were being stolen from felt differently, but there was not much that could be done until the Sheriff was strong enough to put an end to it. b.

Personally, I believe an open line of communication is key to a great environment. If the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, there is bound to be trouble brewing. 9.
