A hippo isn’t just a huge water mammal that lives in Africa, it’s also Greek for horse. Horses in the wild live in herds, but nowadays they rely on humans for their survival; this can change some of their characteristics. Horses have many different breeds, but they can have many different health problems. When horses live in the wild they live in large groups called herds for survival; but now the depend on people for their care (Emery, 2015). Horses need to be kept clean; such as their bodies…

Nature is a symbol of life all together. Storms symbolizes our bad days. Sunshine symbolizes our good days. Nature has its disasters and beauty, it has its good times and bad times, and it has its ups and downs, just as people do. There is a spiritual connection to God in nature not only in its beauty but in its creation too, because God created the heavens and the earth. But not all people feel that spiritual connection to God in nature, some people feel that connection in church, in their room…

Paul Josephson's book Industrialized Nature: Brute Force Technology and the Transformation of the Natural World, discusses an analyzes various governmental forces that brought about change to nature for various states. In his book, Josephson coins a term "brute force technology", to cover anything such as large dams, susceptible engineers, large machines for deforestation, and government officials, that cause great damage and change to nature. With this paper, I do not necessarily wish to look…

way for the discussion of the second sestet. Instead of pitting science and nature against each other, Dickinson uses the structure of the poem to link them. The first and the second sestet seem to build on different ideas at first, but, by the end of the poem, they transform into justifications for the existent complementary relationship between nature and science. Dickinson uses these two sestets to argue about nature and science independently, yet the transitional word “So” (Dickinson 7) in…

“Man masters nature but not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic has failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”(Jacob Bronowski). This quote says that we understand nature but we don’t control it we just know how to live with it. In the novel Tangerine, Edward Bloor uses the motif of nature to show that no matter how much manpower you have, you can not beat nature at it’s own game. Even with the amount of setbacks that nature gives…

To suggest that wilderness cannot exist within the context of the Anthropocene epoch is to fundamentally misunderstand the definition of nature and wilderness. The Anthropocene does not imply that humans constitute a force of nature, but rather that human actions have enough global impact to affect Earth’s composition and ecosystem on the scale of geological time. This does not change the fact that wilderness, areas relatively untouched by humans and in relative natural state, cannot exist. The…

To start off with, at the beginning of Lou's article, he gives us a rhetoric introduction to connect the separation of people and nature. He gives several examples of how technology has gone into certain aspects of nature that we never would’ve imagined. He also intentionally gives those examples to set up an argument that can not be disputed. Examples such as, the changing of butterfly wing colors through technology, advertised stamps in the wet sand at public beaches and corporations logos…

In a world of cars, highways, and skyscrapers, it can be difficult to see how much nature matters and affects our lives. For me, nature has always been an incredible place to go to get to know myself better and learn to appreciate the little things in life. A BWCA Wilderness canoe-camping adventure with my friends would be an amazing opportunity to grow as a person, spend time in my favorite place, and make lifelong memories with my friends. My past experiences in Boundary Waters have…

The continent of Antarctica has been set aside as a preserve in 1959. Since then, many people have argued over whether or not to explore the continent or leave it be. The stories, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” both have contrasting ideas about Antarctica. The first passage provides the argument of how people do not belong on the continent while the other explains the complete opposite. The first passage, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” explains how humans should…
