Man & Nauret
Man and nature are two different forces that act alike in many ways, nature has many dangerous attributes or forms such as a tsunami or an earthquake but it can also be peaceful and harmless such as a butterfly. Man has traits that resemble the one’s previously stated some are evil and selfish, others peaceful and generous.Some say man is far more cruel than nature others disagree, but why do most people think man is crueler than nature ?

Nature is equivalent to the natural world and refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. Nature can positively influence humans and everything existing, for example rain can help fertilize the soil for better growth of plants and similarly the sun’s light provides energy to green plants through photosynthesis. Although nature acts positively in many ways it also acts in a negatively.
For example volcanoes release boiling hot magma that destroys land and causes deaths, in 1815 a volcano erupted in Indonesia which killed approximately 92,000 people. Similarly this year there was an earthquake in Haiti on the 12th of January that had a magnitude of 7.0 and killed about 230,000 people,left 1,000,000 people homeless and had 52 aftershocks with a magnitude of about 4.5.

Man represents all homo sapiens or all humans that existed in the past and present time.Like nature, man has many positive influences to help develop a better world, for example many people study medicine to help heal people from diseases and injuries and some become enforcers of the law and protect the citizens of an area from criminals breaking the law. In contrast many other humans act negatively by disobey laws or causing chaos. For example Adolf Hitler was a very cruel german leader who believed that people that people who were handicapped or physically disabled or believed in a different religion did not deserve to live,he sent soldiers to capture them and kill them using a gas chamber and/or other cruel ways of death.

    In Hsun Tzu's, "Man's Nature is Evil" the author explains why the human characteristics are wicked. The author uses basic illustrations of people's jealousy and envy to prove that human nature is truly evil. Tzu's essay proves through many examples that man's nature is evil, and that everything that is considered good comes from people that go against their "evil nature" to make the concept of morality. Hsun Tzu's "Man's Nature is Evil" is a great analysis of human nature to suppose that in fact, man's nature is truly evil. The writer uses metaphors and history of human kind to support his reasoning. This paper will analyze Tzu's essay and propose with supporting facts that man's nature is justifiably evil.…

    The first one I want to talk about is the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010. By January 24th, at least 52 aftershocks (a smaller earthquake following the main shock of a large earthquake), measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded. An estimate of three million people were affected by the earthquake. Death toll estimates ranged from 100,000 to 160,000. 316 total had been affected overall. Estimated 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had fell down or had been severely damaged. Many people were willing to help Haiti, with sending medical teams and supplies and money. But all of the communication systems and all of the transport facilities were destroyed by the earthquake. No help could come. Port-au-Prince’s morgues were over crowded…

    For years there has been a debate on whether human beings are good or bad, there is no right or wrong answer to this. We have learned these two meanings through different reinforcements taught to us by our peers around us. People of different places and eras have conducted experiments and surveys trying to prove both sides. Some experiments have made the news and showed us just how mad people can become, others are now used to tap into our minds and get our attention. The way we as living individuals interact with one another raises these wonders of the question are humans good or bad. Human’s are neither of these two traits, we are people who learn these characteristics in different ways throughout our lifetime.…

    summary - End of Nature

    • 529 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Although a lot of effects have manifested in today’s time, there’s only a little effort exerted to lessen these harms. First, critics pointed out that the nature is an ever-evolving entity. As it is ever-evolving, whatever we do to it – may it be good or bad – actually doesn’t have any bearing because it is destined to change the nature that we once knew. Another thing that critics pointed out was that humans are part and parcel of nature itself. Critics say we are one with nature. If this is the case, it is possible for ourselves to be blamed for whatever experiences nature we have and we can be held liable because we are nature.…

    Defining nature comes only from a personal experience, a description of the emotional effect you feel. Nature is a part of the world we can enjoy, not because of the changing times, but because it's in real form. Although, it's very difficult to define nature, you have to fully understand the relationship between present-day technology and nature by experiencing the outdoors one-on-one. Even if you walk out into your backyard, take a deep breathe, and soak up the free air; you still get a rush of excitement and energy. The feeling received from nature should be personal, sitting on a park bench alone in the park listening the ducks flap around is a personal experience. In the Age of Missing Information, Bill McKibben helps us realize what we are missing. When he talks about nature he never exaggerates, he doesn't throw out a catchy slogan to grab our attention. He simply speaks of nature in its purest form. Nature is a feeling, an emotion shared personally; however, there are many changes that begin to strip us of what we know as our lush environment.…

    Our world consists of good and bad which affect people’s point of views. Because of this they have tried to concoct explanations as to why humans are capable of doing the worst of evils, these are two of their theories. All humans are inherently good, all humans are inherently evil. The theory that humans are inherently good is one of many favorable lies people choose to believe, to lull themselves from the inconvenient truth. What some don't want to accept is the unflattering truth of human beings.…

    Is Man Inherently Good

    • 1559 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Is man inherently good or evil? To answer that question we will examine humanity’s past and present acts. We will discuss the causation of man through their natural acts, through wars, conflicts and common acts of violence. We will show that humanity is neither inherently evil nor good. However, we often settle our personal disagreements through common violent acts. Wars are fought because we want to establish our dominance or have some kind of agenda. Briefly mentioned are some common theories suggesting the reasoning behind such wicked behaviors. Also discussed is the examination of each team member’s personal values, which is an idea, accepted by individuals or a group; beliefs are any cognitive content held as true; morals are principles of right and wrong or, conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles. These are based in cultural and social constructs which vary from culture to culture. Thomas Hobbes, a 17th century philosopher viewed human beings as naturally egoistic creatures who seek their own welfare, even if this leads to aggression against others. Hobbes argued that people join into society to gain security from others. A century later Jean-Jacques Rousseau disputed Hobbes’ theory, and in 1762 Rousseau wrote humans are natural compassionate loners. But, unlike animals, human behavior is not determined by instinct; human behavior is acquiescent; it changes in the societies within which humans live. Rousseau argues that the violent traits that Hobbes attributes to human nature are actually caused by the type of society in which people live and not essential human nature (Aronson, Wilson, & Akert, 2007).…
