Obligation To Endure By Racheal Carson
In todays world we have a surplus of trees, fresh water, and air, atleast for the most part.
Although, this might not be guaranteed at all for the future generations to come, if we do not take our home into consideration. Earth, is a beautiful home formed into existence for us to realm, grow amd prosper. Now could it possibly be that man has truly forsaken this vast prosperous land and overturned it for the use of his own benefits? Of course, and in the most inhumane manner. Will we then have a surplus amount of resources for the future? Certaintly not, if we do not become aware of what we are doing that’s effecting our environment. In the book an Obligation to Endure the author, Racheal Carson, begins by informing the reader on man being

Most without a doubt would turn to insects being a host that can spread a disease or virus through air or by land quicker than animals and humans probabaly would. Now this should not be a complete green light for man to begin bug spraying evrerything around them to assure they do not get sick, for I can assure you that the bug spray bottle you hold can kill you probably quicker than any disease everwill. I stand with Racheal Carsons belief that insecticides isn’t the best option for exterminating or balancing the insect population. First we need to understand that when we grow a certain crop in just one certain field, despite how organized that is. If an insect thrives off of a certain plant which is the same plant growing in an entire field, that insect will grow in population. As oppose to the field having to have had a diversity of crop, it would be more difficult for the insect to adapt. To this day there are a variety of insects attempting to adapt to the different habitats they have been placed, many will succeed, causing an imbalance in the habitats they are in. For Example, the noble elm trees which use to flourish along many of U.S. streets now is under prey by beetles. With all of this we seem to blame mother nature and still put insecticieds into use, but through shipping produce man has contributed to shipping insects that hitchhike on these plants. Let us instead wash our produce carefully before shipping, and if insecticides should be implemented, these produce companies should have the responsibility to remember to rinse after the implementations. We have had a greater part in spreading diseases then just the insects themselves, if we must have further help to asure that these insects don’t overpopulate and spread diseases we have that help, through the knowledge of ecologist which we train for these sort of

    Whatever produce man deserves they can get it at any store, be it crops we have grown, meats from animals we breed, or chemicals needed to produce pills. We are untouchable, and we can grow and provide for ourselves without limits, we believe there is no termination to the amount of intelligence, productivity and self-advancement that can be fulfilled. In recent years, evidence has shown that man's actions towards the environment is critical. First came global warming due to industrial activities that our modern civilization depends upon, then came species that are endangered or rare due to man having total control of land. Evidently, man’s culture is currently affecting the nature we live in, the current personification of humanity, which is currently at flaw, but man believe to be successful comes with a strand attached. We can choose to stay on the same path we are currently in until the world is destroyed. Most of us are aware of the effects industrialization has on the planet but part of humanity has given up hope that the world we live in would ever be saved and we lost interest in…

    It is popular consensus that Claude McKay was an influential intellectual leader during the Harlem Renaissance, however, many people dispute Claude McKay’s writing prose as well as his personal literary itinerary in regards to African American matters, which raises the question, “Assertive? Or offensive?” Is it possible to declare assertion without being offensive? These are just a few questions which developed while reading the profile of Claude McKay in addition to a few of his publications, in particular, “To the White Fiends” and “If We Must Die”. According to history, even other prolific writers of the Harlem Renaissance such as Alain Locke and W.E.B. Du Bois believed McKay’s literary works to be outwardly aggressive and distasteful.…

    For many decades insects were and still are considered enemies mainly for farmers. In the early 1900's there was a woman biologist who devoted her entire life to saving nature. Her name was Rachel Carson and she changed the whole idea of what people thought was the right solution for getting rid of insects. At that time, scientists discovered pesticides that would kill the insects and end the war between farmers and insects that attacked their crops. Rachel Carson introduced her point of view from her scientific research to the public through her book titled Silent Spring, which is about humans destroying the entire earth and all the living things including humans themselves instead of supporting life.…

    "What do we want when we want a meaningful life? What is it that makes some lives meaningful, others less so?" (pg.1). These are questions we all ask ourselves at some point or another during our lives. We spend the majority of our lives aspiring to achieve a meaningful life, and at the same time we spend most of our lives questioning and wondering what exactly a meaningful life is. "What is it that makes some lives meaningful, others less so?" (pg.1) is also one of the first questions asked in "Meaning in Life and Why it Matters". In Susan Wolf's excerpt, "The Meanings of Lives", the author attempts to define what a “meaningful life” is. The reason I specifically chose to use the word attempt is because I…
