little regard for the consequences our actions have on things that we think do not affect us. We are so engaged with the social and anthropocentric aspects of this world that we often forget, ignore, and neglect nonhuman things and processes. However, most of these nonhuman entitities, such as nature, are a part of us as much as we are a part of it. Nature is not separate from humans and the two are vitally interconnected. Many individuals are unaware of the human impact we have on the environment, corresponding to many people abusing and misusing nature, which is essential for our survival and livelihood. The American Forest Foundation (AFF) is in a pursuit to change this typical mindset of many people, reverse the loss of America’s woodlands, and spread environmental education and awareness. Specifically, “The American Forest Foundation works-on-the-ground with families, teachers, and elected officials to promote stewardship and protect our nation’s forest heritage” (American Forest Foundation :: What We Do). Although this foundation has been internationally recognized and certified for decades, there are a both flaws and advantages within the foundation that can and should be adressed through multiple environmental lenses and approaches. In regards to the environmental ethics approach, AFF encourages us to take the moral responsibility to care for and protect our nation’s forests while also viewing forest owners as stewards of vital resources that provide a combination…

manageable, it’s time we answered it, and it’s not all bad. At least I don’t dream I’m a butterfly. To find the origins of my relationship with nature you would have to go back far. If you want to know my understanding of that relationship, then you would have to go back to when I started volunteering at the Seattle aquarium. Considering this is the start of this paper, we will start with the former, though the latter will be soon coming. The simple fact, that will come as no surprise to…

his later years was a writer and critic this leading to him help create The Night Society which was to explore literature along with avant-garde art styles. Hisashi really like Okamoto’s vision of two versions of Japanese art he said that there are 2 forms, Yayoi-like in which it’s a delicate and graceful pieces of art, while Jomon-like is excessive but yet innovated pieces of work.

Imagining a country that is totally closed off from all exterior surroundings is very difficult do, as there are very few countries that even have the resources for such an endeavor. This is the perceived vision of what Japan was like during the Tokugawa period, where the Shoguns employed an idea of Sakoku in Japan. But what does Sakoku mean?

This formula enabled Rossini and other composers to maintain a high volume of output over a short period of time without sacrificing quality or audience reception. A result of method was work that often lacked thematic recurrence…

the social structure, as seen in Mary Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Woman, where she argues for woman’s education, not to free women of the suppressive culture, but to make them better in their subjectivity. In these two pieces, readers can understand that autonomy is restricted. The same can be said for the Meiji Era in Japan. In light of Japan’s industrialization and the changes it brought, individual agency in Meiji Japan, as represented in Natsume Soseki’s Sanshiro, is…

speaking, reading, and writing are gender marked” (252). She concludes that insufficient evidence exists in the dialogue between the genders, that language is not codified by sex and therefore cannot be regarded excepting “styles, strategies, and contexts of linguistic performance (255).” The question is further exacerbated by Mary Jacobus’ insistence that as men’s discourse has historically subjugated the female, women’s voices have been effectively silenced (28).
