I think this is the most important because it relates to the morals of common decency on how people should be treated. Respect.…
Modern, industrialized society’s technological advancements and emphasis on material possessions, consumerism, and monetary success combine to disconnect people from their natural surroundings which encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally including the interaction of all living species, climate, weather, and natural resources that affect human survival and economic activity. Since the beginning of human (homo- sapiens) existence going back to the Pleistocene Epoch in the Cenozoic Era, humans have been consistently creating, developing, and evolving their means of technology and standard of living throughout time until now. Unfortunately, by doing so humans are furthering themselves form nature, but as Edward Abby, an…
The video opens by talking about a fossilized skull found in Africa. Known as “Selam”- Ethiopian word for “peace”, an Austalopithecus afarensis that was discovered in the Afar region of Ethiopia. Selam was claimed to be 3.5 million years old.…
We humans live off of what the ecosystems delivers to us. In which we could call a fundamental life support of services. We receive timber, fuel-wood, some animals and pharmaceutical products from a natural ecosystem. It’s sad to think if we keep harming and ruining our ecosystem that we won’t have the medicine that we have today. Because it comes from nature and that’s where we keep finding more ways being healthy and keeping us up to date on new medicines for certain sickness. In all the ecosystem supplies products for us humans so we can sustain a healthy living environment. The smallest activities us humans do can change a small portion of the ecosystem and the global economy. Just like one thing we see every day is recycling, it’s a huge impact on…
Human beings are viewed as open energy fields with unique life experiences. As energy fields, they are greater than and different from the sum of their parts and cannot be predicted from knowledge of their parts. Humans, as holistic beings, are unique, dynamic, sentient, and multidimensional, capable of abstract reasoning, creativity, aesthetic appreciation and self-responsibility. Language, empathy, caring, and other abstract patterns of communication are aspects of an individually high level of complexity and diversity and enable one to increase knowledge of self and environment. Humans are viewed as valued persons, to be respected, nurtured and understood with the right to make informed choices regarding their health.…
Although a lot of effects have manifested in today’s time, there’s only a little effort exerted to lessen these harms. First, critics pointed out that the nature is an ever-evolving entity. As it is ever-evolving, whatever we do to it – may it be good or bad – actually doesn’t have any bearing because it is destined to change the nature that we once knew. Another thing that critics pointed out was that humans are part and parcel of nature itself. Critics say we are one with nature. If this is the case, it is possible for ourselves to be blamed for whatever experiences nature we have and we can be held liable because we are nature.…
This planetary consciousness outlines and proclaims that individuals and society must learn to respect the entire earth as an integral and animated system, this respect must equal the respect each individual shows themselves. This view is reasonable and valid and allows mankind a more intimate, religious, and personal vantage of the living world. However, the application of this lifestyle and relationship to the majority of society seems inconceivable. Since humanity cannot even maintain an intimate relationship with another individual, for instance the ever-increasing rate of divorce and separations in marriages. This matrimony has been viewed as sacred throughout the history of humanity yet infidelity and divorce remain severely high. While society's view of nature, as a revered and animated character is still frequently unfamiliar and unpracticed. Therefore, it seems implausible for immediate action to occur because based on the history of mankind's slow and inflexible ability to change their behavior and…
What makes us human? What makes us human is our curiosity and constant evolution. What makes us human is the ability to create social categories and to form opinions. Abstract emotions including love, thought and creativity are what make us human. In 1984, George Orwell uses his dystopia to show that if we were to abolish these abstract emotions we would cease to be human and become the simple primates we once were; surviving for the sake of survival.…
Homosapiens are the most complex and adaptable animal on earth. How did we get this way? Our ancestry has evolved through millions of years. In Africa, a distinguishing occurrence, apes that stood on four legs started walking on two legs straight up. So now a fossil remain, a six million year old skull named Tumei could contain the secret of how human ancestry walked upright.…
The relation between nature and human beings is us respecting nature. Nature provides the environment that we live in and we as humans must protect it. God created nature and he put it on earth to provide for us, but in return we also must protect it and keep people from destroying it.…
What does it mean to be human? What makes who we are? What drives us? Could it be the desire of becoming better, faster, and stronger, perhaps? All throughout history, humans have been known to have advanced in their respective eras through planning and their own advancements in technology. Technology is one of the many things that people in the 21st century debate about, whether it’s good or bad, or even neutral. Why do so many disagree with the idea of becoming better through the advances in technology? The main the topic of becoming something more, something post-human, revolves around the “luddites” (artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested technology by destroying it) believe we’re “playing God.” What does it even mean to play God? Technology has taken us very far indeed, but we haven’t made anything so uncanny that will surely match God himself. If anything, we’ve been doing exactly what’s in our nature: grow, expand, nurture ourselves, and evolve. We can only do as much as the environment allows us; we only make what we can with what we have. The advances in technology today are just our own way of reaching another step in our evolutionary cycle, and we shall continue to move forward. We shall reach another step in human evolution, whether it’s mentally or physically; we know that we’ll be holding technology’s hand for now and forever more, because as it is, we’ve become dependent of it. Should we fear our future endeavors within the technological age? I’m ready to move up to a new level in my evolution, whether I’m wired in circuitry, a cyborg, or fully mechanical; it’s time to let go of those fears, of those demons holding us back. Our limits are only set by our own standards, our own hands, so if we keep moving forward, then our limit is not what the kind of humans we’re now, but ‘transhumanism.’…

Life is the most precious gift given to humanity and every single person should appreciate it and make efforts to preserve it.

However, there are certain steps which can help to achieve the perfect body, perfect health and with this the perfect mind condition – the essential factors to living a fulfilling life.…
