Iron Law Of Nature Essay

Improved Essays
There are certain truths which stand out so openly on the roadsides of life that every passer-by may see them. Yet, because of their very obviousness, the general run of people disregard such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any conscious knowledge. People are so blind to some of the simplest facts in everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to know.

all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of Nature manifests itself are subject to a fundamental law--one may call it an iron law of Nature--which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind.

Nations that make mongrels of their people, or allow their people to be turned into mongrels, sin against the Will of Eternal Providence. And thus their overthrow at the hands of a stronger opponent cannot be looked upon as a wrong but, on the contrary, as a restoration of justice. If a people refuses to guard and uphold the qualities with which it has been endowed by Nature and which have their roots in the racial blood, then such a people has no right to complain over the loss of its earthly existence.

Everything on this earth can be made into something better, provided always that the racial blood is kept pure. But the loss of racial purity will wreck inner happiness for ever. It degrades men for all time to come. And the physical and moral consequences can never be wiped out.

If this unique problem be studied and compared with the other problems of life we shall easily recognize how small is their importance in comparison with this. They are all limited to time; but the problem of the maintenance or loss of the purity of the racial blood will last as long as man himself

    In “Corn-Pone Opinions,” “The Creation Myths of Cooperstown,” and “Graven Images,” by Twain, Gould, and Bellow, respectively, each author explores the fallibility of human perception. While the main purposes of these three essays differ, each one still implements the theme of trending to illustrate how and why people naturally conform-- even if a movement involves believing in a falsehood. In the first essay, “Corn-Pone Opinions,” Twain analyzes how most people shape their beliefs based on what is popular. Twain specifically makes three points to explain why people merely follow the masses to formulate their point of view, with the first one being that trends always start with an individual with power.…

    Why is it that when a new idea is brought to light, society ridicules it without a second taught? The short story “The Glass Roses” written by Aiden Nowlan, suggests that even though your way of life does not resemble the life of others does not mean it is wrong, rather if the new idea brings happiness, people must pursue these evolved ideas. This theme is possible because of the author’s use of indirect characterization, relatable conflict, and grim setting. Throughout life most people face the conflict of pursuing personal desire or the desire to follow a beaten path.…

    The quote stands out amongst the others because it makes one think that because of something as simple as race, who you are, and where you were born, one can be exiled. Fortunately, many places are more excepting than some Middle East countries and people will not become exiled because of who they are.

    The Permanence of Racism “Black people are the magical faces at the bottom of the well”, Derrick Bell. For as long as humans have existed, the permanence of racism, prejudicialness and separation between mankind has always been prevalent. The idea presented in “Faces at the Bottom of the Well” that, “we shall overcome”, is an excuse for people of color to sit around and wait for an adversary to come and bring them out of the compromising situation Whites has placed us in. Bell elaborates on his upbringing, mentioning how at the time, slave heritage was seen more shameful than something that should give on a sense of pride. Having slave blood was looked down upon and to this day it still is.…

    In all the years that have past there is only ever been a few theories of evolution; evolution is how different organisms have developed or diversified from earlier ancestors in the history of the earth and is also known as the diversity of life. Evolution usually occurs very slowly, over long, extensive amounts of time. The idea of evolution can go as far back as the middle ages, because Aristotle explained all natural things are flawed and can be fixed in a natural way such as changing forms, ideas, or species. The very first full-fledged theory was in 1809 by Lamark; it was called "transmutation", or the inheritance of acquired characteristics.…
