Introduction This report will use data from the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) to describe and subsequently assess seven sites in the area around Lincoln and the Port Hills in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Go to a new land God tells Abram, “Go forth from your land, kinsmen, and father’s house to a land that I will show you, I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you. I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you. All of the clans of the earth will be blessed through you.” Abram went forth taking with him his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot. In Canaan, Abram spread his tent and built an altar and called…

carry their ancestors’ bones to the new land, but all of them carry their own language to the migrant country. Language conveys people’s history, traditions, customs. Dorfman says “to defy the fluctuation of time and geography” these villagers assumed that taking their ancestors’ bone would assist them to withstand the change in culture and language. 2- People take with them their language which…

To understand what exactly led to the eventual fighting between the Native Americans and European settlers, one must first learn the cultural differences between them. While, some Native American’s learned to “coexist” with new foreign settlers trading and interacting with them, other natives did not like these invaders and were eventually destroyed, usually by force. These new Europeans tried to bring their new way of life to the natives while these people just wanted to maintain their…

Selfishness in the New Land “Pride grows with the decrease of other sins and thrives on their decay. Satan is subtle. He will make us proud of our very graces. He will make us proud that we are not proud,” said by Thomas Brooke, an English lawyer. The Puritans were an extremely religious group of people; they believed God would be happy with them if they obeyed Him.

unclaimed land, both the English and the Spanish set sail towards the unknown land now known as America. Not knowing what awaits them, they gather groups of brave travelers to explore this new land. With each country, having different goals as to why they want to explore, and conquer this new land we can only say many mistakes were made and many lives were lost. Coming to this new land allowed both the English and the Spanish to adapt to new changes and to the new, unfamiliar surroundings, but…

Settling this great land we now call America was no easy feat. To fully understand why our forefathers took the plunge into such a daunting journey, we first have to consider the vast amount of desire, determination, and courageousness they possessed to do so. No right minded individual would embark on an adventure into the unknown without having a reason. The reasoning in this era came in many forms, but most importantly it was religion induced. In 1534, England broke ties with the Roman…

over political, social, and economic power. The control over water, land, and oil has economically and socially changed the world. They have been used to secure power because of how important they are to society. The consequences for wrongly abusing these resources have shown to be a lot more trouble then it was worth. Where natural resources are not at the heart of the conflict, their availability can compound the problems created by political, social, and economic conflict. Water is a…

(KJV) - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Is man ignoring God’s instructions or did he take it so literally that he feels it is necessary to help in the development of environmental issues that will destroy the biological structure of the living world? Elisabetta Povoledeo reported in The…
