I think the biggest thing I learned about myself was that I am truly concerned about the environment and I need to find ways to help. Knowing that I can’t save the world and the environment on my own but every little bit helps. The thing I learned about the world is how we are destroying it, one step at a time. I think we should quit treating the world like we own it and focus more on living as part of a living world. The biggest thing that I learned about learning is that there are many methods of learning and teaching.
Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
Summary of the Introduction to Affluenza In the Introduction of Affluenza, the authors, John De Graaf, David Wann and Thomas H. Naylor discuss a new disease called affluenza, which has been nationwide spreading, deeply affecting and harming the Americans through individuals to social conditions, and yet to the environmental over generations. Affluenza is “a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more” (2). It has been becoming so powerful, for this reason the authors want people starting to notice and control it after read through the book. Al Gore is an American politician, who has published a book Earth in the Balance when he was a senator. He implied that the Americans have been wasting too many resources.
Animal habitats are also being destroyed or altered due to deforestation. If this trend continues many well-recognized animals that live there will eventually become extinct in that part of the continent within our lifetime. We used all the types of appeals. For logos we used facts and statistics to backup what we inform people of. Some group members used numbers and facts to make sense and sound credible for their individual roles.
Nature through diverse texts is deeply analysed and the concept is challenged and explored making personal, social and political comments on nature through strong, persuasive techniques and understandings to shape the reader’s view. Nature has the profound ability to educate and guide us within the universe.
Carson – Silent Spring RA Final Draft The 1960s were a tumultuous time, full of change not only in America, but throughout the world. Many environmental movements were present during this time of mass demonstration in America. One notable environmental argument was that against pesticide use. In this excerpt from noted biologist Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, the author uses various rhetorical terms to both denounce and vilify the use of parathion, a pesticide, declaring that the environmental effects are far more destructive, widespread, and detrimental than was previously thought. Through her use of evocative diction, Carson is able to illustrate the widespread effects that parathion can have in language that is both strong and easy to understand for the reader.
Nature becomes a central mother figure for the monster as the natural forces slowly begin to educate the monster to the world around him. This aspect of the novel deals heavily in the power of nature and is directly linked to the Romantic Era in literature that Shelley was writing in. Nature provides the essentials that Frankenstein did not give the monster; food, water, fire and survival. In Maslow ‘s hierarchy of needs within his paper, the most basic need is physiological in which food, water, and shelter are essential. The monster is for the first time since his existence is fulfilled.
A lot of it actually. Their works carry the notion about their persona which convey to readers they have a strict opion about the environment. Carson, for example, argues about the pesticide effects and how dehumanizing they can be to organisms. But she still insisted to go into depth about these chemicals when she says “the vast majority fall into one of two large groups of chemical” and the chemical tampering’s of how to achieve the composition of pesticides (Carson 1-40). Moreover, McKibben dilutes Eaarth with fact after fact, anecdote after anecdote, and explanation after explanation.
A Modern Modest Proposal In our world today, we have an ongoing problem with pollution. In the past decades, the pollution caused by our human race has continued to show an impact on our Earth. Every day our beloved planet is getting hurt more and more and this is making it harder for life to be sustained here. Soon, planet Earth could cease to exist and human life as well as all living species could become extinct. I propose that we eat all of the pollution waste, causing all of the waste to disappear from the Earth (logical appeal).
Bobby Kmetz Oct 21, 2010 Research Report #1Topic In the world today there are many things that are affecting are environment and a lot of those things have to do with effecting the land and soil around us that we use every day to grow plants on and use to raise livestock on. With all the damaging things that are happening to the worlds soil that we all know of such as erosion and irrigation of lands one type of soil degradation that is just as serious as all the others is overgrazing. Overgrazing can degrade soil because of the way it is treated by the animals and not maintained by the land owners. In the book Essential environments it briefly talks about what different activities have effect on the soils. It talks about how even though
