The Future Is Wild

western gorillas: commercial hunting and the Ebola virus. Due to an increase in logging production in Africa, where wild western gorillas reside, previously inaccessible forest areas have been cut down to create roads for logging trucks. These roads consequentially provide access to high density western gorilla populations which allow humans to kill them for bushmeat, which is the meat of wild African animals and is very popular in the continent, and for “trophy hunting”. A statistic to display…

What does it mean to have a future? Anyone can have a future, but is that future a proper one? To survive in this wild world that we live and thrive in, one must be successful. To be successful, one must first achieve skills and intelligence through proper schooling and gather degrees in fields of his/her choice. My particular choice is to go down the path of Nursing and to major in that field. To start off on my long journey down this path, I will first attend Nicholls State University to…

Humans argue that animals are not capable of grasping moral concepts, such as rights. However, humans are animals that do have rights. People have fought and continue to fight to give a voice to animals. “We are a predator of predators,” said the study’s lead author, Chris Darimont, Hakai-Raincoast professor at the University of Victoria in British Columbia and science director for the Raincoast Conservation Foundation,” reported by EcoWatch “Humans: The Worst Predator on the Planet”. Animal…

Instead of following social norms and living how society, his parents, and those around him told him to, Chris ventured out into the world on his own to live his life by his own rules. Chris did not care what other people thought of him and he did not want to live the way society taught him to. By rejecting money, cars, maps, and other things that could have kept him alive, he proved himself to be an independent and adventurous young man. “I can almost understand why he rejected maps, common…

His commands and standing on His promises. Dr. David Jerimiah said: “Godly people put down roots in scripture and draw strength from it for their lives.” The strength truly comes from God who breathed his word to godly men to share for the expanding future of His…

ways of life brought upon him by his parents. He held a discontent for his parents for their greed and their materialistic lifestyle. He hated their general way of life for they lived as people who avoided the natural, and always had a plan for the future. Mccandless did have his plans, but they weren't as strict he always wanted to go out into nature. He especially wanted to go up to Alaska, but he never actually planned certain ways of getting there. He wanted to wander through the lands…

Imagine you are walking in a park, and you begin to notice all of these smells. They range from the surrounding restaurants, to the rushing river, and the pine trees that fill the park. A park that is described in this way is Riverfront Park, and Riverfront Park is filled with smells to entice the people that visit. When I hear people talking about Riverfront Park, my mind floods with all of the great smells of food in the park. Riverfront Park is not like your ordinary park, its full blown…

where a house goes about its daily routine on its own. “The Future of Luxury” by Hans Magnus Enzensberger introduces us to the conjecture of the future where concepts that were was a given are considered luxurious. Technological revolutions have condemned our environment. “The nursery walls glowed. Animals took shape; yellow giraffes, blue lions, pink antelopes, lilac panthers cavorting in crystal substances.” Bradbury’s version of the wild animals is simply unrealistic. The nursery is meant…

The Amazon’s rainforest is a serious controversial issue seen in the media. Human health and the environment are threatened by the act of deforestation. Deforestation is a worldwide issue that is impacting our climate, health, and biodiversity, there is little being done to address this continuing problem. We all are immune to hearing the term “go green” from environmentalist and environmental ad companies. It has become harder to catch the eye of the public audience to raise awareness of…

In order to better understand the cell cycle and the different phases of mitosis, students were expected to observe cell division in an onion root. I hypothesized that we would observe more cells in interphase since most of a cell’s life is spent in interphase. In order to make observations, we used a light microscope to view two slides of an onion root—one had been previously prepared while the other slide was made by each individual student. Furthermore, we then counted how many cells were in…
