    Never has a man left the embrace of nature once he found himself enamored by it; this infatuation is found in both John Muir’s and Aldo Leopold’s writing, a sense of wanting to protect this deity they call Mother Nature, a moral and ethical responsibility which every human being has to this Mother. Both John Muir and Aldo Leopold recount their almost romantic encounter with Mother Nature in their books Our National Parks and A Sand County Almanac, respectively. However, in both books it is notable that each man carries instilled in the very fiber of their being a sense of dissatisfaction toward the process of mechanization and industrialization; processes which unfortunately…

    After I watched the speech which was gave by Bill Gates in June 08, 2007 on the Harvard commencement, I felt more interesting in Bill Gates. According to the information offered by woopidoo.com, we can find the Biography of Bill Gates, which said, “Bill Gates is one of the most influential people in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most recognized brands in the computer industry with nearly every desk top computer using at least one software program from Microsoft. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and has held the number one position for many years. Gates was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington USA. His father, William H. Gates II was a Seattle attorney and his mother, Mary Maxwell Gates was a school teacher and chairperson of the United Way charity. Gates and his two sisters had a comfortable upbringing, with Gates being able to attend the exclusive secondary "Lakeside School".

    Many people who live in urban environments are fascinated about the wilderness through television, but never take a step outside to interact with the nature surrounding them. People who alienate themselves from nature, are unaware that the loss of direct contact is one of the greatest causes of ecological crisis. One lesson that Robert Pyle has mentioned in his book The Thunder Tree is that our culture lacks the intimacy with the living world. If we do not have direct contact with nature we lose the importance it holds because we allow ourselves to only imagine what it is like to have direct contact with nature. This lesson is important to Pyle because this mass disaffection in our culture is foreshadowing apathy for the condition of earth. This lesson is important to me personally because I now have a deeper understanding of nature and it helped change my perspective of what I thought was my environment.…

    On September 16, 2011, I attended a training session/lunch and learn for Valley Regional Imaging. They came to me job to show the new computer technology that we will soon have access to from our clinic. Instead of them faxing us results, we would be able to go on the computer and see our own results. The meeting was held in one of our board rooms. The room was dimly lit with a huge projection screen in the middle. The table was huge with big comfy leather chairs surrounding in. The board room was away from normal patient activity so it was very quiet. The room was actually very cold so I had to leave and get my jacket.…

    How many of you know what Mount Everest is? How many of you know who is in charge of Mt. Everest? The truth is no one nation or group has complete control over the mountain and that has led to serious consequences. If you listen throughout this speech you will understand how to save Mt. Everest and why you should save it. In 1953 when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first climbed Mt. Everest they unintentionally encouraged thousands of people to follow in their footsteps, all these climbers changed the mountain for the worse by way of pollution, commercialism, and racism.…

    Humans now have the capability of living longer than ever due to recent technological advancements, along with medicinal research. However, the ultimate price paid for these advancements is the dissociation of one’s own spirituality. Our ways of connecting and reasoning with nature and spirituality has immensely changed. Joseph Campbell, author of The Power of Myth, says “But when you think what people are actually undergoing in our civilization, you realize it’s a very grim thing to be a modern human being.” In its face value, Campbell might have been bitterly analyzing humans and conditions in which many people around the world live in.…

    Her face simultaneously displays an expression of prosperity and worry. Her words and actions sincerely show she believes it’s too soon and that it wouldn’t be safe for me to go with little training for such a climb, especially since it had been years since my last mountain.

    21st century millennial’s a generation constantly distracted by technology will not come to appreciate the true wonders of the world. In fact most of our generation is set in an artificial way of living instead of experiencing the true beauty of nature and the change in landscapes that I observed on my road trip to California during the summer of 2015. Once I arrived at Santa Monica beach in California my perspective and experience of my surroundings only became more fascinating to me.

    During my 18 years, I’ve learned how important family is. Your family will always be there for you no matter what. My family supports me in everything I do. All their time and money cannot express how much they love me because love is more than any of that. Love between families is a special bond of time, laughs, smiles and memories. Love is something that family doesn’t have to say to each other because we already know and I am blessed to have a family that loves me in every way possible.…
