Natural Ecosystem: Stony Creek Metro Park Natural Ecosystem: Stony Creek Metro Park My pick for this park was based on the fact that this was made in to a natural ecosystem in 1964. A plan was drawn to make this park by making a dam and creating a 500 acre lake in the center of a 4‚461 acre land section from the stony creek (a tributary of the Clinton River). Once the dam was formed the lake was made‚ and the park came together. There are many plants and wildlife in this park‚ and fish in

considering the natural forces that sustain us. From the lessons given by the tsunami‚ we recognized that many vital links which connect human societies together have been broken or missing. Without repairing these links‚ the sustainable future of human beings would be threatened. The human societies are a unity without unifying efforts‚ especially in the cases of emergency and great natural disasters‚ collective strength of mankind will not be maximized and we would become vulnerable to natural threats

Here we have some highlights of how the natural selection works and some of the evolutionary forces that drive evolution: The natural selection operates in base of the difference between de reproductive successes of the individuals. The genes of the most successful individuals (the ones that reproduces more) appears more in the next generation. If an individual cannot survive it will not be able to reproduce. Because of that natural selection is NOT RANDOM and can act really quickly. (Charlat et

Peace Is the Goal The theory of natural law encourages the idea that peace is the natural state for humans. However‚ peace was not the state of the world during the attacks on September 11th 2001. Five years after this event occurred‚ President George Bush administered a speech to the people of the United States that filled them with optimism through the theory of natural law. On the tenth anniversary of the attacks‚ President Barack Obama gave a speech prompting the citizens of America to push

With reference to various examples‚ discuss how ‘natural’ disasters are socially constructed. While natural disasters such as floods‚ drought and hurricanes are commonly thought to occur due to environmental forces such as weather‚ climate and tectonic movements; a deeper investigation into the ‘disaster’ displays other contributing forces. Human factors have a large‚ if not equal‚ contribution to the occurrance and outcome of such disasters (Pelling‚ 2001). As Pelling (2001) argues‚ there is

Explain Finnis’ Natural Law Theory (30 marks) John Finnis‚ an Australian legal philosopher has tried to resurrect the natural law tradition in moral philosophy and law since the mid-1960s. He tries to offer a "neo-Aquinian" natural law philosophy which does not presuppose a divine being. By focusing attention on goods rather than a single Good‚ Finnis skilfully articulates what he calls a theory of moral action for our day. Or‚ in other words‚ he seeks a theory of how to live well. Finnis identifies

Commercials created by these companies state that natural gas is easy retrieve‚ cheap and clean burning. However‚ these commercials fail to explain that one of the processes of retrieving natural gas‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is extremely harmful to the environment. Hydraulic fracturing‚ or “fracking”‚ is the process of

Natural selection and speciation are two examples of how biodiversity can be expanded within an ecosystem. Natural selection is the process by which characteristics are inherited to enhance survival and increase the chances of reproduction in future generations than those that do not‚ altering the genes of a population over time. These characteristics will help future individuals within the population to become more efficient and better suited to their environment. Speciation is the process by which

Evolution is the changing of gene frequency in a population over time. Natural selection is where animals with advantageous characteristics produce more offspring‚ therefore passing down favoured genes. In the more developed parts of the world‚ medical care and access to food means natural selection is lesser‚ as selective forces that were there before e.g some diseases and predators‚ are no longer there. Therefore‚ some humans that have characteristics that would have previously meant they produce

evolutionary theory and explained it through ‘natural selection’. Natural selection simply means that there are variations among species that have different traits‚ and those traits differ by their fit to certain environmental conditions. Furthermore‚ some species with traits better suited to the certain environment are likely to survive‚ whereas‚ those species with traits that are not very suited to the particular environment eventually go extinct. Evolution and natural selection have a special connection
