环境现状:
Prior to/ by the end of the late 1990s, a wide range of irresponsible human and industrial activities, as well as increasing social expansion/ urbanization, has gravely/ severely endangered/ wounded/ scarred the blue planet we call home and the already fragile/ weak/ gentle eco-system. To be more specific, the dependency on fossil fuels has produced the climate change, the worldwide greenhouse effect, El Nino, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, ozone depletion, crop failure; deforestation and the loss of wetlands for housing development and industrial factories has fundamentally uprooted the home of most wild species; the overuse of natural resources, especially in a wasteful manner, has at so many levels broken down a balanced environmental system; Industry waste made the valuable land, water system and air unusable. However, fortunately, the environmental groups, government offices, and concerned individuals, after years of efforts, are gradually and successfully promoting a green, eco-friendly lifestyle, the importance of recycling, almost stopping industrial pollution, illegal hunting and Japanese Whaling ships, and developing safer, greener, and more effective energy sources. For this reason, I am confident that it is not an overly optimistic future in 20 or 30 years when the rate of environmental degradation will be slowed down significantly.

    Although the late 1800’s may be regarded as one of the most important time periods for technological advancement and step towards modern time, the Industrial Revolution fanned the sparks of early environmental movements taking us back a step as well. Factories burnt coal in such large amounts that soot covered landscapes and damaged the environment, famously shown through the Peppered Moth’s genetic drift. Europeans realized the devastation they had caused once it was too late and urban cities had already replaced forests and natural habitats. Europeans wanted to save natives from making the same mistake as they had and in order to break this cycle of destruction, they were very focused on conservation within their…

    The 21st Century

    The 21st century has revolutionized the way we interact with others and view the world; technology made it is easier to communicate, network, and even flirt with others. Computers transformed themselves into becoming the new “cupid” via instant messaging, chat-rooms and online dating in which flirting is easier in these spaces. Also the rise of social networking sites even made it possible to find a significant other; for example, my friend met his current girlfriend of six months through Facebook. However, there are still remnants of traditional flirting in the sense where we still meet people who attracts us at common locations, such as a bar or party. Both offline and online flirting have similar goals of starting and following a sexual and/or romantic relationship with other people; but simultaneously, they have different approaches in meeting new people. With the use of my interview, I am going to analyze the male and female perspective of flirting online and offline and the many opportunities and restrictions that correspond with flirting. Although the ways we flirt have changed dramatically, ideas of gender has not: both in the past and present, men seek physical attractiveness in a partner whereas women seek financial stability. Additionally, I will further examine the double standard of gender and how it stagnantly remains unaffected in today’s society and its effect on how one approach and flirts with another.…

    The society today has many ups and downs, many negative aspects and plenty of positive aspects. Life on earth has gradually changed and what people had thousands of years ago greatly differs from what people have today. Technology has improved people’s lives drastically. In the recent years, people have started from using an abacus to a calculator in a mere transition of 50-60 years. The development of technology is increasing at an alarming rate and people today can do so much more in a blink of an eye. With a click of a key, information can be sent across the world. Technology has improved communication across the globe. The real question is, whether technology has benefitted people more or harmed people more. Technology can be thought as a great advancement and it has simplified the ways people lived greatly, however, at the same time technology has also caused damage to the environment and changed the way people act in both negative and positive ways. What will the future look like? This is a question to ponder. One hundred years from now, society will definitely be different and more advanced than it is today. People will go beyond the imaginable and establish a society that is so simplified that it will either destroy them or allow people to establish world peace.…

    As far as I am concerned, the environment can’t be repairable, just like the animals that has be extinct can’t reappear. The environment must be protected before it become irredeemable.

Everybody should give his or her support to environment’s protection, such as try to have a low-carbon lifestyle, reject the product that has damaged the environment.…
