Do you believe that our natural world can come to an end because of our actions and careless attitudes? It is obvious that the global environmental changes are primarily caused by the growing trend of human’s actions and industrial revolution. Unfortunately, these changes are irreversible and directly contribute to the continuous deterioration of our planet. This is the topic that Thomas Friedman (2016) focuses on his article, “We are all Noah now”. In this article “We are all Noah now” Friedman (2016) states that the planet and human’s life are seriously affected by these changes. The author discussed many issues by explaining their sever impact. One major issue humans do is deforestation, where the tree cutting is on rise with diverse consequences…
The atmosphere is choking from excessive amounts of carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are melting polar icecaps and rising sea levels. Deforestation is diminishing our chances of ever discovering new species in forests and destroying the carbon cycle. Humans do in fact have the capability of changing the basic chemistry of this massive planet. Scientific evidence shows that we have already contributed to irreversible climate change. Humankind has an obligation to reconcile its difference with the environment and learn to conserve natural resources. Conservation begins with knowledge, which leads to action, which will save our…
<br>In just the last fifty years, humans, namely Americans have virtually remodeled the Earth and everything on it. We have changed its landscapes, wind patterns, migration routes, and weather; diminished its greenery and killed its animals. Nature did not seem a force that could be controlled and yet it has been. We are conducting an inadvertent global experiment by changing the face of the entire planet. We are destroying the ozone layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth's surface, clearing the majority of the earth's forests, and disrupting countless ecosystems. The result has been an unfavorable alteration of the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying the forests, the world will become hotter than it has been in the past million years. This warming will rearrange entire biological communities and cause many species to become extinct.…

Human and nature have a mutual relationship. Thank to nature, human get food and other resources that are necessary for their existence. Human gradually found ways to improve nature to serve their purposes. However, due to the greed of human, nature has been destroyed at a steady speed. People now cut down trees, dispose waste and smoke into the environment, capture animals to extinction for their benefits.…
Charles Krauthammer, in his essay “Saving Nature, but Only for Man,” argues against whom he refers to as a sentimental environmentalist. Charles Krauthammer is a well-known right-wing political columnist and commentator who has worked or contributed to a number of magazines throughout his career (Krauthammer 292) His purpose behind writing this article was to prove that nature is here to serve man and not the other way around. The logic of his argument derives from an unusual form of pathos: an appeal to a human's fondness for other humans over so-called luxurious aspects of the environment. This pathos coupled with appealing to people's fear and moralistic views are the rhetorical strategies he utilizes throughout his argument.…
In the article Earth, Nature and Culture, Yi-Fu Tuan commits a whole section to the relationship between nature and society. Tuan states that, “Human restlessness finds release in geographical mobility.” Tuan states that when telling the human story, it begins with nature. The article says that as humans we have very conflicting feelings towards nature. On one hand we realize that we need nature to survive. It provides us with food and shelter and most of our basic needs. On the other hand, nature has ways of destroying us. It can send disasters to completely throw off the human race. For example, nature can provide soil rich in nutrients that allows humans to plant and grow our own food to survive, but it can also send a drought causing the soil to dry out and our crops to die. According to Tuan, culture is how humans compensate for our conflicting feelings.…
“A significant concern for humanity is its relationship with the natural world and nature’s influence on human behaviour and human interaction.” These are the guidelines in which the topic ‘in the wild’ fits. I have studied two texts that demonstrate the effects of ‘In The Wild’ very well: ‘Brave New World’, a confronting novel by Aldous Huxley, and 'Blade Runner', a post-modern film by Ridley Scott, are two dystopian, science-fiction texts which demonstrate the connection between man and nature and the effects of losing this connection.…
The natural world is superior to all of humanity. Without reason, land controls us and influences our identities. Through mankind’s power we try to suppress the natural world but never truly succeed. “Progressive Insanities of a Pioneer” by Margaret Attwood, “The Bull Moose” by Alden Nowlan and “Not Just a Platform for my Dance” are comparable poems in a way that all three deal with a theme of the natural world and the power it holds against mankind. “Progressive Insanities of a Pioneer” and “The Bull Moose” both express that nature is more prevailing than humanity and that humanity will unsuccessfully try to conquer the natural world. Although, “Not Just a Platform for my Dance” displays how cooperating with the superiority that nature possesses can be favorable to civilization.…
Environment Psychology and Theology Humans as Part of Nature AJ R Chun PhD Fresno Psychology Examiner Environmental Psychologist Theologist Nature: the inherent character or basic constitution of a person or thing, a creative and controlling force in the universe, an inner force or the sum of such forces in an individual, a kind or class usuallydistinguished by fundamental or essential characteristics , the physical constitution or drives of an organism, a spontaneous attitude, the external world in its entirety, humankind's original or natural condition, the genetically controlled qualities of an organism. What about humans themselves, are they part of nature?Most of us would conclude sooner or later that humans are part of nature.This exception was a secular man who explained that humans are above nature because we are on one of the top layers of the food chain. ³We eat the salmon. That to me seemsProbably « if you want to admit it or not, it is an act of a higher creature feeling that it has the right to eat the salmon.´ The rest of us gave various reasons why humans are part of nature. Mostmentioned was our dependence on natural resources like water and oxygen. Otherscalled humans part of nature because we form a part in the ³chain of being´. ³We aremade up out of all the elements that are found in nature.´ Some religious respondents regarded humans as nature because its creation needs the involvement of a ³higherpower´. In the words of a Muslim woman: ³Humans are a creation of God, they are anatural being.´ Two Buddhists clarify that it took the bringing together of many causes tocreate both nature and humans: ³The consequence of so many things together so that wehave human beings («). The ground and the mountain and the trees « There are many causes to make the ground there, the water there and the trees growing.´Although a large majority concluded that humans are part of nature, many of the laterresponses on this subject showed their doubts about the…
There are many theories about how humans used to be, before a state or any form of government was involved. Many imagine that we were in a State of Nature, which is where no political power exists, no laws or government. These theories were brought on to answer the questions, “Why do we need a state, and what would things be like without a state?” Many philosophers have given their views on what humans would be like in the state of nature. Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau offers us three different accounts of what life would be like in a state of nature.…

People valued passenger pigeons and were a part of many aspects of human life and culture. Passenger pigeons populations were estimated at five billion individuals in North America during the 19th century. People ate their fatty meat, they used the feathers of passenger pigeons to stuff pillows and mattresses, people also hunted them for sport. In the end though, the last passenger pigeon in existence died at the Cincinnati Zoo in the spring of 1914. There used to be flocks of passenger pigeons that were a mile wide and up to 300 miles long, flocks so dense that they darkened the sky for many hours or even days. But, now people don’t miss them anymore, nobody except for the occasional history buff. People have learned to live without the passenger pigeon. People have destroyed the passenger pigeon and eliminated its benefits even though we didn’t have to. We made it impossible to use or see the beauty of the passenger pigeon ever again.…
Environment plays a large role in every human’s life. Frequently we just don’t pay attention to all bad things we do to nature. Unfortunately, enviromental problem levels are increasing at an alarming rate and we should do everything we can to reduce it. The main reason why it is so important to protect the environment is that we should think not only about ourselves but about future generations as well. Nowadays, we have faced with such problems as pollution, global warming, overhunting and overfishing, deforestation,and many others. So, we have to do something to stop or at least prevent them.…
