-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Body A. Limits: They are various limitations when putting ourselves in the wilderness. a. The main concern regarding the tropical forest is that it is filled with wild hungry, venomous, and even protective yet deadly creatures (Tigers, baboons, snakes, and creepy crawlies are everywhere). b. The trees and the vegetations are tall, dense and thorny. That your body is sure get cuts here and there. It’s also, so easy to get disoriented and lost. c. The terrain can be challenging and intimidating. One time you’re cruising on a downhill slope, next corner-a 90 degree steep wall of rock may be your only way to get up- and so

    Never has a man left the embrace of nature once he found himself enamored by it; this infatuation is found in both John Muir’s and Aldo Leopold’s writing, a sense of wanting to protect this deity they call Mother Nature, a moral and ethical responsibility which every human being has to this Mother. Both John Muir and Aldo Leopold recount their almost romantic encounter with Mother Nature in their books Our National Parks and A Sand County Almanac, respectively. However, in both books it is notable that each man carries instilled in the very fiber of their being a sense of dissatisfaction toward the process of mechanization and industrialization; processes which unfortunately…

    Over the years, the planet’s luscious greenery, vast bodies of ocean, and clear blue skies have declined at a steady rate with the overtake of industrial buildings and pollution from technology . For the explorers and hard-core transcendentalists who devote themselves to living on the healthy and undeveloped parts of the world, nature and “the life and simple beauty of it is too good to pass up.” (McCandless 12/7/16) If technological advancements continue to occupy most of Earth, this appreciative view of the planet will no longer be attractive to those whose lives depend and thrive upon its bare soil. To some Transcendentalist preachers, like Henry David Thoreau, nature is also perceived as “daily to be shown matter to come in contact with,” giving people a chance to ask “Who are we?…

    Many people who live in urban environments are fascinated about the wilderness through television, but never take a step outside to interact with the nature surrounding them. People who alienate themselves from nature, are unaware that the loss of direct contact is one of the greatest causes of ecological crisis. One lesson that Robert Pyle has mentioned in his book The Thunder Tree is that our culture lacks the intimacy with the living world. If we do not have direct contact with nature we lose the importance it holds because we allow ourselves to only imagine what it is like to have direct contact with nature. This lesson is important to Pyle because this mass disaffection in our culture is foreshadowing apathy for the condition of earth. This lesson is important to me personally because I now have a deeper understanding of nature and it helped change my perspective of what I thought was my environment.…

    On September 16, 2011, I attended a training session/lunch and learn for Valley Regional Imaging. They came to me job to show the new computer technology that we will soon have access to from our clinic. Instead of them faxing us results, we would be able to go on the computer and see our own results. The meeting was held in one of our board rooms. The room was dimly lit with a huge projection screen in the middle. The table was huge with big comfy leather chairs surrounding in. The board room was away from normal patient activity so it was very quiet. The room was actually very cold so I had to leave and get my jacket.…

    Everest, from “Touch the Top of the World,” is about a group of mountain climbers who set out to climb Mt. Everest. One of the main characters, “Big E,” is a blind man who formed the Association of The Blind and encourages people to do what they dream. Him and his team of climbers set out to climb Mt. Everest in 2001. Throughout the excerpt, the team goes through many problems. For example, Big E’s comrades face problems with their masks, struggling to see where they are going and taking in oxygen. Another example of a conflict in the story is when Jeff begins to backtrack down the mountain, claiming he is “wasted” and too exhausted to make it to the…

    How many of you know what Mount Everest is? How many of you know who is in charge of Mt. Everest? The truth is no one nation or group has complete control over the mountain and that has led to serious consequences. If you listen throughout this speech you will understand how to save Mt. Everest and why you should save it. In 1953 when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first climbed Mt. Everest they unintentionally encouraged thousands of people to follow in their footsteps, all these climbers changed the mountain for the worse by way of pollution, commercialism, and racism.…

    Humans now have the capability of living longer than ever due to recent technological advancements, along with medicinal research. However, the ultimate price paid for these advancements is the dissociation of one’s own spirituality. Our ways of connecting and reasoning with nature and spirituality has immensely changed. Joseph Campbell, author of The Power of Myth, says “But when you think what people are actually undergoing in our civilization, you realize it’s a very grim thing to be a modern human being.” In its face value, Campbell might have been bitterly analyzing humans and conditions in which many people around the world live in.…

According to the information offered by woopidoo.com, we can find the Biography of Bill Gates, which said, “Bill Gates is one of the most influential people in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most recognized brands in the computer industry with nearly every desk top computer using at least one software program from Microsoft.

    Her face simultaneously displays an expression of prosperity and worry. Her words and actions sincerely show she believes it’s too soon and that it wouldn’t be safe for me to go with little training for such a climb, especially since it had been years since my last mountain. I contemplate the options and come to an idea that would diminish all wary thoughts.…
