highest point. She is looking out to the ocean, absorbing all that it has to offer, and appears to be having a moment for herself. Though this girl is surrounded by others, it appears as if she is in her own world. Appreciating the view and allowing it to assist an escape from the real world, is something that nature allows society to do. This adolescent girl has just experienced a lot of trauma. Hurricane Sandy has potentially had a huge, negative impact on her life. Nature provides people an…

Introduction: For teachers, getting to know children’s requirements and respecting children’s aspiration should be highlighted in teaching. For children, learning should be spontaneous, but not be forced or artificially constructed in any way, because it is more effective to learn through self-experience (play). The EYLF defines intentional teaching as ‘educators being deliberate, purposeful and thoughtful in their decisions and actions’.(DEEWR, 2009, p.15) In this essay, I will mention…

who manage to survive. Few thinkers have had the impact that succeeded Charles Darwin. His theory of evolution was so powerful and compelling that it became the new orthodoxy, affecting how we think about many aspects of our life. For Darwin, the "natural selection" or "survival of the fittest" it is what preserves the difference and individual variation of all living things that leads to the improvement in their living conditions and to destroy everything that harms them. However, for this to…

the hypocritical approach parents take in regards to technology: that they have all the right in the world to limit or control their kid’ usage of technology but don’t enforce it. And, with this it is implied, that when the option is given of technology or nature, the choice of technology is the obvious selection.

Garrett Hardin in his essay “Tragedy of the Commons” discusses the elimination of natural resources through the actions people take without consideration to the environment. Most people want the resources only to themselves, not allowing others to establish a stable form of living neglecting nature’s natural intent for interdependence. Earth’s natural resources are often taken for granted but their limitations are commonly overlooked by those who only seek to benefit themselves. We as a society…

people have had a great impact on my dreams, my goals and my personality. Converting to veganism opened my eyes and helped me realize the things I can do for this world. Being vegan has been one of my biggest missions, but it motivates me more and more everyday. I don't just live in a community that questions my lifestyle, but in a world that doesn’t see my true potential. Criticism has became part of my daily routine. I get asked daily “why are you vegan?” I simply…

Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…

In many corners of the world and in the world as a whole,…

A greener land and a fresher atmosphere sounds great to all of us, but how many of us deny to live in coal fueled house or ride in oil fueled bus? There was a time when one could have thrown the idea of renewable energy to waste basket saying it is not enough but now is the time to hold the idea and say “enough is enough”. With the flow of time, people accepted the idea of having lighter electronics and powerful motor engines, so why not solar-wind hybrid system which has likes of both. But…
