Natural horsemanship

In Mushroom at the End of the World, Anna Tsing echoes calls to move away from human exceptionalism and toward a type of anthropology that thinks about non-human beings seriously. The matsutake mushroom, a Japanese delicacy and coveted global fungi, is our guide into the complex entanglement of humans and non-humans in a landscape defined by capitalist ruin. We transverse not only the boundary between nature and culture but also temporal and spatial orders, as the “matsutake forests in Oregon…

The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s heat gets trapped in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Using renewable energy, burning less fossil fuels, and recycling anything that is not actual waste can help reduce emissions. When communities use urban farming, less transportation is needed to get product, thus less fuel is being burned and used. The purpose of this paper is to look at ways we can come together as a society and put into effect ways we can reduce the effects of global warming…

democratic countries, the environment has emerged as a high priority issue. They have experienced rapid economic growth, but have along the way encountered serious environmental problems. These societies now share the idea that, if they do not preserve natural environment, their economic development would be unsustainable. It would be politically impossible for either Korea or Japan to enforce a policy for economic success that goes against the concern among the public for the environment. In…

that can be eaten by deer and moose, while cavities in the trunks of these trees can provide nesting places. Ash trees are also culturally important to Native American tribes; black ash provide material for basket weaving, while blue ash contain a natural blue dye(Why Is EAB Important?) . White ash are the most commercially used here in Wisconsin because they have high-elasticity, good shock resistance, and low shrinkage, and while blue ash are not commercially used, they are…

Saving the planet is as easy as buying clothes. Depending on what company you buy from, you can actually make a difference in the world and help protect the environment. Patagonia and the North Face are the two biggest companies in the outdoor clothing market. And for good reason, they both offer fashionable, comfortable, and high-quality products, but there's more to the companies than just their logo. The North face’s mission statement is “Provide the best gear for our athletes, support the…

The purposelessness of life is what fills it with purpose. In his essay, “In Praise of Margins,” Ian Frazier defines the word “marginal” as the places or activities that “don’t sufficiently account for themselves in the economic world” (Frazier 7), usually being purposeless and occurring during one’s free time. Some places and activities in Frazier’s life that he now considers “marginal” are going to the woods and fishing. Being in “marginal” places and participating in “marginal” activities…

Mother nature seems to be an indestructible force. Perhaps that is why we continue to deplete her natural resources and pollute her air. Perhaps, as a race we have grown accustomed to modern luxuries which we deem more important than the ground beneath our feet. In her book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson asks, “Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?”…

In order to achieve these regulations, laws need to be passed by all the levels of the…

It has been argued that “the late nineteenth century was a scientific age. Literature could not simply remain the same after Darwin: the rules had changed” (Link 75) and that is what naturalist did. They started to reveal the origin to people’s actions and beliefs, as well as the cause. In The Awakening, Kate Chopin discusses some of the most relevant actions and new beliefs, such as divorce, adultery or woman and feminity. Although the work was quite controversial when she first wrote it, in…

Human beings are different than other living creatures on Earth not only because of intelligence, but also different values of humanity. Every individual of mankind is independent and unique due to their different values and beliefs. A person’s values are an important component that makes him who he is today. Different Values are also a significant guideline when an individual has to make a choice on a life event. Amazingly, a person can have two different values that can come into conflict. As…
