In this class, Core 1, we have touched on many different subjects. First, we discussed about the origins of the universe in module number one. Afterwards, we touched upon the origins of life in module number two. Currently, we talked over the origins of societies and culture in module number three. Even though the three different modules all seem to be broad and different, I believe they have an important similarity, and that is classification. As humans, we have the tendency to classify…

Climate Change How much does everyone really know about climate change and Global Warming? Or what it does to planet Earth? Due to climate change the Earth’s temperature has increases rapidly more than ever within the 20th century, the global temperature has increased from 0.6 to 1.0 Celsius (Conserve Energy Future, 2013). Climate change has affected the Earth in tremendous ways such as the changing the amount of gas in the atmosphere, melting polar ice caps, animals becoming extinct, etc. It is…

When everywhere becomes deserts, where do people get food? Where do they get trees to build our houses? The answer is no where because trees are gone. According to the National Geographic News’ article, “When Green Earth Turns Into Sand”, Donald Smith states, “Desertification is a growing problem not just in Africa, but also in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the northern Mediterranean”. Desertification is spreading all over the world. Many livable, natural…

We live in a world divided by two spheres: the industrialized, human world and the natural world. Today, in the twenty-first century, our lives are encapsulated by machines and industry. Generally speaking, we live in an age of cement and wires and concrete. Because this seemingly indestructible barrier, it can be difficult to see how vital it is for nature to be experienced and appreciated in our everyday lives. Nature’s importance and purpose often goes unnoticed or unappreciated in our…

Saving Planet Earth: How We Started and How to Stop Global Warming I chose to write my final paper on climate change because I find this topic tremendously important. This topic is important to me because we are seeing major changes with the place we call home, and if we don’t stand up and take responsibility and start to fix these problems, we will have some major issues for the coming generations. We need to come together as one and fix this problem. It won’t be easy, but if we all work…

or....... the Earth is the center of the universe, fixed and immovable............ now before we just dismiss this idea as crazy or out dated, let 's investigate...... you see, as for the observed motion of the heavenly bodies in the universe, the current Copernican heliocentric model of our solar system claims that the Earth is spinning at 1k miles per hour, it is also orbiting our sun at 64k miles per hour, we are also…

The most shocking thing is the public’s reaction to Trump’s unethical behavior. Most people do not seem to care and his supporters seem to rather enjoy it. We have now entered the end of the postmodern age where truth is replaced with emotion. If something so small as a criticism of one’s hands or fingers can send Trump into a never-ending obsessive tirade, what would happen if genuine Christians throughout the world went on a relentless campaign targeting Donald Trump as Satan incarnate? Again…

I have never been one with strong held believes in the creation of humans or life on earth from god or gods. I lean heavier towards the theory of life evolution. How does what I believe in and what I have read on American Indian beliefs compare to one another. Also how their creations myths and legends compare to my current beliefs and the Christian and other teachings I grow up with. I will be looking at the Apache, Navajo, and Iroquois creation myth and legend stories. One of the first…

temperature is caused mostly by greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere which include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone. Normally, these gases are essential in the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has increased due to human activity and this in turn is causing the planet to become warmer over time. As a result, ice caps are melting, sea levels are…

In the beginning the only way for people to pass down their history, their philosophy and their culture was the spoken word. This is especially true when it comes to the Native American of North America as they had no written language. Their history was passed from generation to generation by way of storytelling also known as oral narratives, not only did these narratives tell the history of the people, but they also helped to shape the culture. These myths were the Native American’s way of…
