Cultivate Our Garden Theory
You gave a good response to this week's discussion question. The "cultivate our garden" idea is an attempt to be happy working to sustain your own life. Do you think the Kingdom of Eldorado is a foreshadowing of the "cultivate our garden" theory? Consider that according to the city's wisest citizen Elderado stayed pecful because they kept to their own, away from the outside world. "The wisest princes of their house were those who had never left their native valley; they decreed, with the consent of the nation, that henceforth no inhabitant of our little kingdom should ever leave it; and this rule is what has preserved our innocence and our happiness. " (Voltaire, 1759, p.

    Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory

    Urie Bronfenbrenner developed the ecological systems theory. If someone were to fail a test this theory would look at the socioeconomic factors such as family, intelligence, ethnicity, and other factors. Bronfenbrenner’s theory examines how an individuals self -perception can influence their behaviors. He developed a chronosystem to show the influences with the other systems. The macrosystem is the largest sector and describes the culture of how an individual lives. The exosystem is interconnected with the macrosystem and the mesosystem. More importantly, friends, family, media, neighbors, agencies, and local services affect the exosystem. An example of this system would be where a parent loses their job and causes conflict with the other…

    Rhetorical Analysis: The Children's Era

    When “The Children’s Era” was delivered much of the population still worked in the farming industry. Early in Sanger’s speech she gives an analogy about gardening to represent the time and effort that goes into raising and caring for a child. Sanger states, “Before you can cultivate a garden, you must know something about gardening. …we must first of all learn the lesson of the gardener.” “And always -- do not forget this -- you have got to fight weeds. You cannot have a garden, if you let weeds overrun it.” (The Eloquent Woman, 2013) In the gardening analogy Sanger is using ethos combined with figurative language to get her point across. Sanger demonstrates her knowledge of gardening which is relatable to her audience, and then cleverly makes them realize how the two seemingly unconnected tasks are indeed similar. Sanger uses ethos in this example to establish common ground with her audience and in turn make them more willing to consider her…

    In Cold Blood Theme Essay

    “Without exception, Garden Citians deny that population of the town can be socially graded… but of course, class distinctives are clearly observed, and as clearly observable, as in any other human hive.” (pg. 34) The city can be easily observed as segregated by social class by any outsider. In other words, Garden City represents the obliteration of the American dream. Holcomb is a sparsely populated town in Kansas, which renders the fact that everyone is familiar with one another. The text states, “This hitherto peaceful congregation of neighbors and old friends had suddenly to endure the unique experience of distrusting each other understandably, they believed that the murderer was among themselves.” (pg. 88) After the murder of the Clutters, old neighbors started distrusting one another, leading to paranoia which spoiled the American dream. If the murder would have happen in another place more densely populated, there would have been a better chance of the survival of the American dream.…

    Organic Farming By Laura Sayre Analysis

    In “The Politics of Organic Farming: Populists, Evangelicals, and the Agriculture of the Middle”, author Laura Sayre begins by speaking about how the Obama administration initially acted enthusiastically towards the sustainable food movement, which was a PR gesture, when really, they were silently allowing the agendas of agribusiness giants to move forward (38). Sayre quotes journalist Barry Estabrook who calls this “the Obama administration’s schizophrenic approach to agriculture policy” (38). She then delves into how most of the public media in the U.S. assumes that there is “something inherently left-leaning” about sustainable food, even though recent studies have found that consumption of organic foods “cuts across class and ethnic boundaries”…

    How to Grow a Garden

    It takes a lot of time and hard work to grow a garden. First you would have to start out small. You don’t want to bit off more than you can chew, or hoe. Like , if you plant a huge garden, you’ll wish that you didn’t because of the hard work. Next, you must choose a location that receive as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. After you have located a spot to grow your garden, you should examine the soil. You will want to see if the ground is rich in top soil. Sometimes the ground can seem like its rich in top soil but it can be sand or clay. The spot that you choose also needs good drainage. Vegetables will not grow on poorly drained soil, even if you use the best fertilizer money can buy. The next step to have a successful garden is making the rows. This way your vegetables can spread out evenly and balanced throughout growth. It is easier to make out rows now than back then in the early 1900’s. People now use a tiller plow rather than plowing with a mule. So this was a turning point in technology. The next step is the preparation of the rows. You might first clean out the plot, remove all grass, weeds, vines, and any other wild grass that needs to be remove. Then you have the fertilization of the plot. There are many different methods of fertilizing a garden. The most common of them are organic fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, and triple thirteen. My suggestion to you as a farmer my self is to use the triple thirteen. It is the best out of the three to start out with. The next step in the gardening process is to select the type of seeds that you would like to plant. There are lots of seeds that that you can choose from when planting a garden. I only plant my favorites. I love to plant corn tomatoes, okra, peppers, peas,…
