    The Unsustainability of the Human Race and the Planet

    The Disney film WALL-E warns society of what the world may become in the next 700 years. Although the film is very theatrical, and somewhat extreme, it gives a plausible way to show what life could be like if the human race continues in the direction it is going in. Sustainability is a main theme of the film. Sustainability is the way that something survives and flourishes throughout time. The movie encourages change to make the Earth sustainable again. The depletion of natural resources, the lack of attentivness, and the lack motivation in the human race are ways that have made the Earth unsustainable for humans. If the human race does not change and solve their problems effectively, it is a great possiblity that the world will turn into the barren planet from the film, and be forced to live on a cold ship in space.…

    The Earth Charter

    The Earth Charter is a radical document that tries to offer solutions to help the world and all of mankind to try and find a level of sustainability. Through Jean Paul Sartre’s theories and ideologies, I try and find my own voice and ideals of how I personally feel about the Earth Charter. Many people have tried to figure out what they could do, with little success, to fix the Earth and save it from ourselves. Though it is a start, the Earth Charter simply does not have a clear and concise plan of what needs to be done. Jean Paul Sartre’s conceptualizations of justice and power and how power should be organized make the Earth Charter an unjust document.…

    after earth review

    In this review, we will discuss Will Smith's movie "After Earth" directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Smith’s movie is about a military father and his teenage son. One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. In Kitai’s whole life, he has wanted nothing more than to be a ranger like his father. After watching Smith’s movie, we shall be claiming that human can fly on the sky. Besides, we also agree that space does not contain oxygen. In the movie, we do agree that earth contain gravitational force. Moreover, the love of a father is one of the moral value that we agree in this movie. However, we disagree with some points in the movie especially the decrement of the temperature in the earth. Other than that, we also disagree the function of the video-audio system.…

    Earth Preservation

    Over the years many developments have been made about how Christians can preserve the Earth. From recycling, to using solar energy, to planting trees for fresh oxygen to provide clean air that deforestation has caused are the many ways Christians have took a stand in conserving our Earth. Isaiah 45:18 says, “ the Lord created the earth and made it; he established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord and there is none else”. This scripture tells us that we are put here on purpose and that we should honor God by taking care of what he has given us. Protecting and conserving the earth should be a Christian’s moral obligation.…

    The Creation of the Universe, the Earth and Human Beings

    In the beginning there was only darkness. For many millions of years this darkness remained. There were no stars, no sun, and no earth. But one day something very special happened. The darkness created light. It was a very small amount of light but it was just enough. The light became the husband of the dark. After a long while both the light and the dark became bored. The light began to insult the dark and the light replied with equally harsh insults."You are not as beautiful as I!" said the light."Ha! You are much uglier than I!" said the dark.Eventually they began to fight. None could triumph over the other, however, because they both were equal in power. Dark had a little bit more strength but light had a little bit more cunning. They continued to fight for a very long time until one day the light was tired and she called to the dark."We must create beings that will give more meaning to our lives for we must live together for eternity."The dark agreed and so it was settled. They wouldconceive two new beings. One would be female the other would be male and the two siblings would be fertile and give birth to the universe. The light gave birth to a god, the first god, and his name was Thrakath. He was the creator of the universe and the son of the light and the dark. The light also gave birth to Tria and she was the creator of the universe, the daughter of the light and the dark and the wife of Thrakath.Both Thrakath and Tria lived together within the light and dark for a long time creating the universe within their minds. After they had finished thinking they decided to implement their plans. First they created the stars. There were many stars throughout the universe and both Thrakath and Tria were pleased. But the stars eventually became troublesome so they decided to create the sun.The sun became the king of the universe and he was very bright so he could be seen from far and wide. The stars feared him…
