Just look at our community that has natural things that have already been there. When I go to an area that I believe to be nature, I go to the Greenway Park; specifically an area by the Arboretum here in our town of Yakima, WA. This particular area is nature to me because of all the things born here, not put here by humans. There are sights of humans that are also part of nature because any living creature on Earth is part of the natural world. Even though there are things there that were built or made by humans, the main focus are the natural things already there. Nature…

Ethics, morals, good and evil, truth or lack thereof in today’s society these things have adapted from a fixed foundation to a relative acceptance throughout many populations. What can one base their belief on you may ask yourself? Tolerance is the way of advancement; any other viewpoint discredited and treated as forbidden philosophy. The foundational laying of a biblical worldview must be framed and built upon a resilient and authoritative truth. We will discuss the biblical worldview from…

others of course, but still the major difference to me was the design and layout of the sites. It made me realize that if I were just browsing the internet and checking out different websites and was in a hurry, the lack of appeal to some of the sites may have encouraged me to just quickly move on the next site. If it was not for this essay assignment I would have never paid such close attention to the content of the sites that didn’t catch my attention and I could easily overlook a museum that…

A defining feature of any collection, whether it be of curiosities, natural specimens, art works, or other objects, is the presence of an underlying system of thought — an episteme — that shapes the way in which a collection grows and evolves. Differences in these epistemes can vary widely across the centuries, and the present paper will discuss the differences between two genres of cabinets: the Wunderkammern, or “cabinet of wonders”, of the 16th century during the Renaissance; and the…

One of the major ideas it seems Shelley attempts to assert through this novel is the danger of unchecked intellect. Since Frankenstein attains his problematic knowledge of natural philosophy on his own, he is not successfully checked in his actions by any other scholars or intellectual mentors who may have prevented him from taking his intellect too far. As a result, Frankenstein’s unfettered knowledge leads to a series of questionable choices ultimately leading to a destructive result. Most…

technology with a 1908 look, it cannot modernize everything. We have come a long way since 1908 and it shows. The museum conveys its information mostly with its use of the storage exhibits along the wall and modern cases that display in an 1908 fashion. While this tactic for displaying may not be the most efficient in showing off the artifacts, it does convey its own history of how natural history museums used to operate. A museum on the museum. There are many natural history museums, there are…

This gave him an opportunity to observe and study the wide range of natural phenomenons. These studies contributed to his theory on evolution. In 1837 Charles went to London to finish work on his Journal known as The Voyage of the Beagle. He arranged his collections of fossils and bugs and was impressed by the likenesses of the species showed. He studied all of the samples vigorously, down to every line, spot and, organ and noticed that each had developed in their own way from ancestors. Some of…

career. Based upon my interest in the natural world, my skills in mathematics and the natural sciences, and my creativity, I believe that I am suited to apply my abilities to create a career for myself in the field of environmental engineering. PERSONAL EVIDENCE Before one decides to pursue a career in any field, one must consider their personal interests, experiences, and motivations for participating in a field as well as the working conditions that they wish to have in their employment.…

people visit the museum. First, museums make people feels good. Not only there are lots of things that people can go and discover it, but also they can have a truly memorable experience with lots of happiness because they enjoy the time that they spent at the museum. Even though people do not like or interest in art or history, they can still find something that will grab their attention. For example, the museum usually has “interactive” exhibits that originally design for the children while…

The Smithsonian Museum is made up of nineteen museums spread out over an area in Washington DC. My favorite museum of all that we visited was the Air and Space Museum. Then my next favorite museum was the Udvar-Hadzy Center. At the Udvar-Hadzy Center it costed six dollars to take a test flight in a plane, which I found really outrageous because it was six dollars for a test flight for like five minutes. Although overall it was a really cool place to visit and I was blown away by how big some of…
