Nature

Question: How do I write an essay about how nature has affected my life? I have to write a 3 page essay about how nature and the environment (nature and nature) affected my life. I can't really think of anything to say for the nature part. Can anyone help me out a little bit?

Answer: There are at least three areas to start with... 1. food. while there are some strange petrochemical food products like cool whip and i can't believe it's not butter, most food requires, soil, rain and sun to grow ... 2. shelter. again here while there are some synthetics, wood, metal, glass, cotton, wool, are all products from nature. 3. economy ... food and other items must be processed and transported ... economies can be based on nature. cez

Question: What nature documentary shows aerial views of where a large river and ocean meet? I remember watching a nature documentary several years ago that showed expansive aerial views of muddy white river water colliding and swirling with blue ocean water where they meet. I think maybe it was also following dolphins or some other school of marine mammal as they swam in this area, being an area with fertile sea life. Thanks for any leads!

Answer: Try Planet Earth-David Attenbourough-BBC.

Question: What is an all around good nature for the pokemon croagunk? I'm planning to breed my croagunk for the perfect nature, but I can't decide what would be a great nature for croagunk. When you suggest a nature please add why it might be good for a croagunk. Please help... =\

Answer: Haha, Adamant. You can either use Action Replay DS to modify the wild pokemon's nature, or spend forever trying to find the right one. Don't use too many pokeballs! Good Luck!

Question: What is a sinful nature and how does one get saved from having a sinful nature? What does Christ do to rid man from having a sinful nature. What is regeneration and and the renewing of the Holy Spirit mean to you?

Answer: Christ forgives us when we repent. I John 1:9, II Cor. 7:10, Acts 3:19-20. We become new creatures in Christ after we receive him into our hearts. This is the renewing of the Holy Ghost along with Acts 3:19-20: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (New King James Version) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Question: What are things that nature provides that we invented some material thing to serve the same function? We invented clocks to tell time, but nature provided the sun and moon and the seasons for us to tell time. What are some other examples of things that are provided to us by nature that we've created inventions for?

Answer: We killed nature to invent comfortable living... Nature provides us with life. Would you rather live and die comfortably or continue to live as species?

Question: How should we define human nature when considering the kind of society towards which we can reasonably strive? I approach this question as a devoted anarchist. I agree with you that clearly the anarchist dream is utopian. However, these are my political views and you will not change my mind on that. In reality an anarchist must have faith that "people are not inherently bad", that there is not a socially fatal genetic characteristic that drives people inevitably to commit violence on others. Therefore so-called "human nature", in the anarchist view, is not the problem. So what is your view on human nature then?

Answer: In a strange way I admire your optimism. If you had tribe of say five thousand and they lived on a huge island with lots of natural resources, and plenty of women to go around your philosophy might work.

Question: What are Christian views on nature, and there beliefs linked to nature and animals? I know in the question it says christiianity but if you know anything about buddhist beliefs related to nature and animals that would be great.

Answer: I love nature and animals Christian

Question: What is the nature and construction of identity? How do we gain and construct this knowledge of identities of people around us? And if so, what does this construction imply about the nature of the knowledge?

Answer: This is a question we must figure out on our own, and I've spent a few years on it, with the following entirely personal conclusions: my identity feels stable and still despite circumstances. I used to unconsciously attach a sense of identity to certain ideas and objects (my jacket, my mother, my voice, etc) but stopped doing that after many silent vipassana retreats, as I got to know my experience stream very intimately. Now my identity remains still and stable as always but it is simply the capacity for noticing. My identity (what I am in my still center) is aware of the story but is not the story or even any part of any story I can know.

Question: What is your personal opinion about nature? This is why I may not believe in religion and evolution. But I believe in nature, mother nature, and nature of the earth. I think through millions of years, humans, dogs, cats, frogs, and tigers are here because of the nature of the earth. Remember Earth is a planet, and is the only planet in the universe that has life and can sustain life. What happens after I die? I think you will still be alive, but not as a human your life nature spirit, start all the way over. You probably going to be ant, fly, bee, bird, other living thing, you just won't be conscious of it, like a human. Only a human can really be conscious of everything, and the type of brain to know and make decisions on what to do in life. Every living thing must have a male and female in order to reproduce. What is the meaning of life? I think is to try and live out the maximum life span of a human life. You either going to live the maximum life span of a human or die early in life. What do you think? Continuation of the meaning of life. A human is either going to live the maximum life span which is 100 something years or die early. Same thing with animals such as dogs, cats, horses, lions, all living things. They either going to live out their maximum life or die early.

Answer: I think the theory was pretty religious and thus wasn't a good one. You still would need to feel in a couple of why's and how's but it's the basis of one for sure. I understand that you much rather fill in gaps in how or why with how you'd like it to be and what sounds good or beatiful, because the real world sure can need it, but there's not really anything that could support these theories of yours. You more or less just want them to be true. But hey - if it helps you to stay happy through life so be it, I can't see that any of them seriously could harm other entities lives, so go with it :D

Question: Does mother nature make people gay to prevent them from adding to the future gene pool? Not a whole lot of procreation for homosexuals there must be some kind of evolutionary pressure affecting humans preventing undesirable traits from moving forward. Should we encourage them for bowing out? Instead of trying to "convert" them? Does Mother Nature or Evolution if you will use Homosexuality as a breeding tool too prune? I Know Mother Nature uses Attractiveness, location and fertility so does Mother Nature than not use inclinations?

Answer: Got news for ya, they can still procreate. All they gotta do is donate to a sperm bank/ fertility clinic. All they gotta do is go to a fertility clininc and choose a donor. This is the 21st century and sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is not neccessary in order to procreate.

Question: How did the nature and meaning of war change for Americans over the course of the 20th Century? How did the nature and meaning of war change for Americans over the course of the 20th Century? Be sure to consider the course of diplomacy, the larger social and economic climate, and particular ideological turning points.

Answer: This reeks of homework. The biggest change for most Americans is exposure to the events taking place within the warzone and to the decisions being made by our leaders. WWI and WWII were just as bloody, if not more so than Vietnam and the current war. The media exposure began during the Korean war, became much more prevalent during Vietnam and is now inundating our airwaves. When we as a nation were blissfully ignorant of what was going on overseas, we were supportive of the troops and the leadership they served under. Now we are being fed a constant stream of negative images which makes it difficult to support the people who know the real reasons for being involved in the first place.

Question: What was the nature of the “energy crisis” that developed during the earliest period of cellular evolution? What was the nature of the “energy crisis” that developed during the earliest period of cellular evolution, and how was it solved?

Answer: I assume the crisis was oxygen poisoning and the result was the evolution of aerobic respiration.

Question: What is the nature of Puritanism and Questions about Jamestown? What is the nature of Puritanism? How do you define this term? What makes Puritanism unique and different from other Protestant faiths/? How and why did the early settlement in Jamestown, 1607-1611, almost collapse. How and why did the colony recover ?

Answer: Okay I can not answer about puritanism because we have not gone over it in class. because the puritans came after jamestown and we just went over jamestown today in class so your in luck cause i took good notes. first it was not from only 1607-1611. jamestown lasted is believed to last from 1607-1624. -in december of 1606, a joint stock company called the Virginia Company sent 3 small ships across the north atlantic to America. It took them four months to reach north america. -in april 1607 they reached the chesapeake bay area and named it jamestown. (colony will survive but just barely) -first 18 years was a disaster for anyone who lived in it, near it, or financed it (then the king did not finance the colony company's did in hopes to make money) -the first year consisted of adventurous gentlemen with money able to pay their own way to the colony. they were given 3 instructions when they got there: find a western water way through the continent so they could reach china through it, establish trade relations with natives, and look for gold. -since these were gentlemen (no famers, etc..) they did not know how to really survive. -had to rely on gifts from the natives (Pohatan Indians) -out of 105 beginning settlers only 38 survived the first year (mainly disease and starvation killed them) -1608-1609 500 more colonists arrived, by 1610 only 60 were still alive. -1611 England sent out more settlers and a new governor to jamestown -John Rolf initiated marshall law (which was a success) -example whipping was a punishment for throwing water into the streets -1610-1618 3,000 new settlers arrived to jamestown only 1,000 survive -what saved the colony was John Rolfs way of whipping the colony into shape and a cash crop called tobacco -John Rolf married pocahontas in 1614 but died in England in 1620 breaking the bond between the natives and the colonist -the colonist would grow tobacco and send it to britain to make money because tobacco was a booming business -the colonist were obsessed with growing tobacco because they were obsessed with making money -so they started to neglect their other duties the more they grew the more land needed, so they started going outside of the colony in search for land, and ending up taking pohatan land -for 15 years the pohatan indians and jamestown colonist get along but once the colonist start moving in on their land conflicts begin. -it isnt until pocahontas dies that the pohatan violence increases and in March of 1622 they finally get so fed up with the colonist that the chief and several of his warriors go to jamestown and attacks killing 347 colonist including John Rolf -Survivors were afraid and wanted revenge. so they abandoned their crops for war. -within 3 years it is estimated that the pohatan indians were reduced from 40,000 to 3,000 -this was called the pohatan massacre -because of the abandoning of crops the colonist were not able to ship out much tobacco, which meant not bringing in much money for them and not making money for the Virginia Company who financed the colony -The colonist asked the Virginia Company to finance more money and the company refused -they felt the colonist brought their situation on their selves and in 1624 filed for bankruptcy (i dont know what happens after 1624) -1619-1623 4,000 colonist by 1624 there were only 1,300 HOPE THIS HELPED AND GOOD LUCK!!

Question: What is a good scripture reading or quotation of nature or respect for nature in the bible? This is for a prayer for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Could some one give me a good bible quote or scripture reading on respecting nature or the value of nature and the environment that would be great.

Answer: Ezekiel 23:19-20 great verses on nature

Question: What is a good book about nature or survival? I need to read a book about nature and/or survival for my Nature in Literature class. I'd like a fiction book and something that's interesting. And I'm a Junior in HS (17) so not anything too young, please. And by survival, I mean survival in nature.

Answer: Wild Timothy by Gary L Blackwood My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George The Cay by Theodore Taylor Downriver by Will Hobbs The Winter Road by Terry Hokenson Blind Mountain by Jane Thomas The Trap by John Smelcer The one non-fiction book I can think of is Between a rock and a hard place by Aron Ralston additional note: if it can be sci-fi, taking place in the future, I would suggest Hunger Games or Surviving Antartica

Question: What is the subatomic nature of electricity and how is it conducted? I am perplexed by the nature of electro-magnetism. I am not convinced that electron behavior by and in itself is the whole story.

Answer: Development of atomic theory » Studies of the properties of atoms » Discovery of electrons Cathode-ray studies began in 1854 when Heinrich Geissler, a glassblower and technical assistant to the German physicist Julius Plücker, improved the vacuum tube. Plücker discovered cathode rays in 1858 by sealing two electrodes inside the tube, evacuating the air, and forcing electric current between the electrodes. He found a green glow on the wall of his glass tube and attributed it to rays emanating from the cathode. In 1869, with better vacuums, Plücker’s pupil Johann W. Hittorf saw a shadow cast by an object placed in front of the cathode. The shadow proved that the cathode rays originated from the cathode. The English physicist and chemist William Crookes investigated cathode rays in 1879 and found that they were bent by a magnetic field; the direction of deflection suggested that they were negatively charged particles. As the luminescence did not depend on what gas had been in the vacuum or what metal the electrodes were made of, he surmised that the rays were a property of the electric current itself. As a result of Crookes’s work, cathode rays were widely studied, and the tubes came to be called Crookes tubes. Thomson repeated Hertz’s experiment with a better vacuum in 1897. He directed the cathode rays between two parallel aluminum plates to the end of a tube where they were observed as luminescence on the glass. When the top aluminum plate was negative, the rays moved down; when the upper plate was positive, the rays moved up. The deflection was proportional to the difference in potential between the plates. With both magnetic and electric deflections observed, it was clear that cathode rays were negatively charged particles. Thomson’s discovery established the particulate nature of electricity. Accordingly, he called his particles electrons. From the magnitude of the electrical and magnetic deflections, Thomson could calculate the ratio of mass to charge for the electrons. This ratio was known for atoms from electrochemical studies. Measuring and comparing it with the number for an atom, he discovered that the mass of the electron was very small, merely 1/1,836 that of a hydrogen ion. When scientists realized that an electron was virtually 1,000 times lighter than the smallest atom, they understood how cathode rays could penetrate metal sheets and how electric current could flow through copper wires. In deriving the mass-to-charge ratio, Thomson had calculated the electron’s velocity. It was 1/10 the speed of light, thus amounting to roughly 30,000 km (18,000 miles) per second. Thus, the electron was the first subatomic particle identified, the smallest and the fastest bit of matter known at the time.
