Even the obstacles that the artists may overcome can give the piece’s life and make them unique. The artists that I picked from the blog were James Castle and Andrew Wyeth. The pieces that I picked from each artist were one of the pieces ‘Built Environment’ made by James Castle and the piece ‘Evening at Kuerners’ made by Andrew Wyeth. Both artists have their own way of expressing themselves through their work. James Castle was amazingly creative with how he made his art. Each piece he made…

military and environmental history can be used in unison to better tell the history of the war. In The Blue, The Gray, and the Green: Toward an Environmental History of the Civil War, a book of articles edited by Brian Drake, one sees how the environment affected the Civil War. In Megan Kate Nelson’s article, readers are getting an idea of what was happening out West during the war. Confederates were attempting to bring slavery out to California, but failed; their failure was mostly due to the…

to diseases. Three responses can be made by species in relation to climate change. First, species can change their geographical distribution to one that is more in tune with their original environment. Second is that species can remain where they are, however, the species will attempt to adapt to the environment by plastic responses such as timing of growth and breeding, or by genetic response such as an increase in the threshold of heat tolerance. Third is extinction (Learmonth et al., 2006).…

Are Canada’s efforts towards changing our overall environment and being informed on our climate change issues effective? Canada is failing in the efforts towards improving their environmental impact. The earth’s climate is changing and developing rapidly. There are many reasons as to why our environment is the way it is to this day. This discussion topic has been going on for many years now and will continue to do so for the next hundreds of years as it changes and develops drastically,…

or the environment have a greater effect in the development of human beings. Nature describes behavior influenced by genes, or biological information passed down from parents. On the other hand, nurture explains behaviors that are affected by the environment, or any external influences. The continuous debate stands as some believe nature influences behavior more than nurture, or vice versa. As stated above, nature and nurture attempt to describe human behavior by genetics and environment,…

difference, and Americans treat the environment poorly. Primarily, Earth Day teaches people about problems involving the environment. In the article, “The History of Earth Day”, Amanda Davis explains “Now people all over the world are learning about environmental problems.” This means Earth Day explains the danger the environment is in to people. Additionally, if people understand the danger the environment is in, they can take actions to save the environment. Therefore, Earth Day is important…

Humans are born into families and environments which they have no control over. One’s family plays a significant role in the creation of their identity through genetic and cultural factors. Solomon elaborates on attributes that are passed on from generation to generation. He says “One generation to the next, most children share at least some traits with their parents. Attributes and values are passed down from parent to child across generations and also through shared cultural norms” (Solomon…

From a biological view, genetic and internal physiological factors contribute and influence personality. Its considered the genes which we inherit contribute to why people are successful and can challenge social influences and natural environments. Thus, which one is more significant, the environmental factors, or inherited genes for an individual's personality to develop. Psychology theorist such as Gordon Allport, Raymond Cattel and Hans Eysenck, put forward traits of personality can be…
