critical, some people argue that we should stop protecting wilderness areas and should utilize them for economic growth. Assuredly, these areas contain a lot of natural resources and could be exploited for financial purposes. However, if wilderness areas are not preserved, there is an appreciable risk for serious implications, such as the extinction of inhabitant species and the unbalancing of the local ecosystems. Thus, we should preserve wilderness areas in their natural state, and refrain…

I grew up in a church filled with traditions. One of these traditions was started by our youth pastor’s father: Wilderness Trail. Throughout my elementary years I would hear talk of the annual youth trip up to Virginia, and in sixth grade, I finally had the chance to go. Wilderness Trail is a backpacking ministry located in the town of Troutdale. Each summer, groups come and go on a five day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. Five days of carrying a 30 pound pack on your back in the…

The battle of Wilderness was a devastating blow to both sides. Grant even cried in his tent on the second day even though his men were out there fighting for their country while he was sitting in his tent he should have been helping his soldiers, but here's a question.…

William Cronon argues that wilderness is not what we perceive it to be. Cronon says that wilderness is an idea created by humans that has had various definitions and societal meanings over the course of human history.

Thesis: “We mistake ourselves when we suppose that wilderness can be the solution to our culture’s problematic relationships with the nonhuman world, for wilderness is itself no small part of the problem” (1). I. “You were in the presence of something irreducibly nonhuman, something profoundly Other than yourself. Wilderness is made of that too.” (1) o Cronon begins his essay by defining wilderness as he sees it. While a great deal of his arguments are based off the idea that the wild is…

progressive and allows for more “outside of the box” teaching strategies, topics, and exercises. The emergence of Wilderness Sports/Adventure Education is the perfect example of a new topic that is far from the conventional ways of a Physical education class. In brief, these topics use unique situations and purposeful activities to provide an environment for learning. But more specifically, Wilderness Sports promote physically challenging outdoor activities (ex. camping, backpacking, canoeing,…

result of our urban and industrial culture. Through examining the deceptively profound texts, ‘The Wilderness Next Door’ and ‘The Estuary,’ we are able to explore man’s relationship to nature. With our technologically-driven and advanced society and fast-paced lifestyles, we often find it difficult to take a moment to unwind from our busy agendas and reflect on the world that surrounds us. In ‘The Wilderness Next Door,’ the author (Kennedy Warne), is heavily critical of society and comments on…
