Comparing the Arc de Triomphe and the other sites on the World heritage list I do agree that all the sites on the world heritage list are aesthetically pleasing and they all have beautiful artistic features like the Chateau de Chambord with its beautiful iconic monumental features. The Salzburg with its architectural masterpiece being able to be beautifully conserved as it was slowly developed over the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. Machu Picchu with its beautiful authenticity with the most extraordinary urban creation of the Inca Empire, which would be a good archaeological source. But their all-missing one thing they’re all not the Arc de Triomphe with its beautiful History inscribed onto the arc. Although it is a not a natural site but a cultural site it still is an outstanding example of what a cultural heritage is, it should be preserved and protected for although it seems like a normal arc with beautiful artistic carvings beneath all that there is a story, there is history of

    There are many methods people can use to reduce plastic pollution. They can reduce, reuse, and recycle. This is the oldest method that is effective if done correctly. They can buy recyclable products with little or no packaging. Buying these products will reduce the use of plastic and will reduce recycling needs which will lead to a cleaner Earth. They can also use biodegradable plastics so we don’t have to worry so much about plastic pollution. Keeping storm drains clean and never littering will also help reduce the plastic that end up in the oceans. Everyone can join the banning of plastic bags which will reduce a significant amount of plastic pollution. Refusing to use disposables and choose to use reusable or Tupperware products. This can reduce plastic pollution because instead of just throwing the container away after using it, it can be washed and reused. People can also help to clean up your local beaches. This will help to reduce the amount of litter and plastic pollution that will eventually end up in the ocean. If one cannot help clean up the beaches, they can make donations to help the clean-up. There are a number of organizations people can donate to such as the Natural Resources Defense Council or NRDC. NRDC is one of the nation’s most effective action groups. They work to safeguard the earth — its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.…

    The first place I would like to discuss is Versailles. Some of the rooms here are named after planets such as The Venus Salon. On the ceiling of this room Venus is illustrated with the appearance of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. The other art on the arches are there to show respect to ancient heroes; this included those of Louis XIV. Aside from the art in this room, the architecture is baroque as well. There is not a single part of this room that does not have some type of decoration. It is said that the Venus Salon represents the most baroque decor mostly due to the fact that this is "the only place where Le Brun made a dialogue between architecture, sculptures and paintings."( "Explore the Estate The Palace.")…

    • 1095 Words

    All museums have a purpose, to transfer knowledge to newer, younger generations of what it was like in the past, and what types of items they used in that set situation for say a war they would use guns that took longer to reload than those that we use today. I find three of these parks to be of more importance than the other ones. The first park would have to be Gettysburg Military Park, due to the fact that that was where the bloodiest battle of the Civil War took place, leading to the deaths of 50,000, it also caused Lincoln to create the Gettysburg Address. The next park I find of uttermost importance to be kept would have to be the Acadia National Park due to the fact that they had a bit of trouble with Congress, until Congress finally set the boundaries in 1986. The third park I would have to say is of much importance is Acadia National Park, this is because that is where the tallest trees on Earth lay, and because it was used for gold mining, plus there is the bonus that American Indians live there. The hypothetical situation is that the United States…
