Earth Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

The concept of human beings going to live on mars permanently can be termed as the colonization of mars (Zubrin, 2011, p.233). The idea was taken lightly in the past. Recently, however, the matter has been taken more seriously with more studies of life survival in mars being done. The Martian environment differs slightly with that of earth and any living organism set to live on mars will encounter these changes which will definitely affect them.
Typically, a solar day in mars is a little bit longer on mars than that of earth. In mars, a solar day lasts for 20 ...

While in the polarized politics of the US, climate change is still debated, the science is in: With the same degree of certainty that we know gravity exists, we know as a fact that humans are affecting weather. Without passing judgment as to weather it is good or bad, we know that human activity is affecting the makeup of the atmosphere, and also know that this is what determines our weather.
Climate change should be an important issue to people regardless of what political party they vote for or where they live. The earth’s climate affects everyone. The ...

A New Earth is a motivational book written by Eckhart Tolle published in 2005. The book can be illustrated as a personal development book that inspires the readers to live a happy life without bothering themselves so much about the earthly possessions but the present time.

In chapter seven of the ‘New earth,’ the author indicates that self-evaluation is best achieved through one’s awareness and not through reflection on emotions and thoughts.
Tolle succeeds in bringing out the fact that a person acquires ...

Introduction

Knowledge is defined as the accurate understanding or acquaintance with areas of human survival. The more advanced understandings we have with on environment represent our improved survival. Humans traditionally gain knowledge through two sources. The first is through books. Books have always been the elementary source of knowledge from a very tender age. Children are not the only a group that use books or other written sources to gain knowledge but also adults.
Despite the fact that books are very informative, experience is also another vital source of knowledge for humans. Experience is very vital as it uses real situations ...

A critical review of : “ Our Lonely Home in Nature”
We will carry out a critical review of the article “Our Lonely Home in Nature” written by Alan Lightman who is a physicist and teaches humanities at the M.I.T. This article was published in the New York Times, opinion pages on 2 May 2014 and is scheduled for republishing in today (May 23, 2014) edition too.
In the article, Lightman starts with a seemingly innocuous statement of the tornadoes in the South and the Midwest. He describes how the sea (or symbolically ...

As exposed by Sagan, the traditional solipsism that humans are used to exhibit when describing themselves and their position in the universe, is not sustainable . Humans have gradually stopped believing they were the center of the universe and the summit of all creation, and started being displaced until becoming just inhabitants of an insignificant part of the periphery of the galactic neighborhood.
Apparition of life on earth appears to be miraculous, but in fact is more common and resilient than most like to think it is. Most of the species that have existed on earth have become extinct , ...

1. “whoever you are It's your mission on earth” (Coelho 21-22).
The philosophy of the novel is somewhat based on the above quote. The message Coelho is conveying is that dreams are not selfish or silly desires that we should ignore. Instead, dreams or something we desire or really want are actually a calling, and pursuing such a dream is our “mission on earth” that can lead us on a journey of discovery. The concept of “the soul of the universe” is also introduced in this quote that is referred to as the “Soul of the World” later in the novel. ...

Over the years there has been a raging debate pitting Christian creationists against the atheist evolutionists. Scientific knowledge has advanced and researchers have not been able to confirm basic assumptions of the evolutionary theory. This has made the evolution theory to be discredited when compared to the Creationist theory that has stood the test of time by being consistent as expounded on the Bible.
As a creationist, I fault the evolution theory because it is based on dating methods that operate on unverified assumptions. Over the years the dating has been ambiguous, in 1850 the evolutionists stated the earth was ...

This is an intriguing film produced by Steven Starr and directed by Irena Salina. The films is designed to showcases several interviews from analysts, scientists and experts in water and community activities. The main intention is to demonstrate water infrastructure initiatives and ways to ensure that not only can the environment be sustained in a proper and acceptable manner, but also that people can establish private business enterprises and make massive profits from the same, and still provide the community with clean water to drink. This was the most surprising part of the film. It is not common thing for a ...

The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast two beautifully rendered pieces of literature; The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and ‘And the earth did not devour him by Tomas Rivera. Both the novels will be discussed in juxtaposition to each other to aid the process of drawing out similarities and highlighting points of comparison. To commence, it must be noted that both the authors are chicane identity wise and hence much of their work is set in the same background. Both the authors are successful in launching their plots’ owing to their knowledge of ...

Human arrogance towards sustainability of the planet can be traced many centuries in history. It is obvious that the earth was once a sustainable place where all the components of the environment found a common balance for survival. However, human negligence slowly stripped away the ability of the earth to sustain its components unnoticed until the 1970s’. It is absolutely true that the current world population is gradually exceeding the earth’s carrying capacity. There are many occurrences currently that prove the fact that the human population is quickly outstripping the earth resources.
Global warming is one of the ...

I have chosen Buddhism as the worldview to analyze. As there are two schools of Buddhism, rather than focusing on one school, I tried to incorporate the concepts that both schools follow.

Origin

In Buddhism, life has no beginning or end. There could not have been a beginning out of nothing. Instead, there is a cycle of life called Samsara. The cycle is continuous and consists of births and deaths. There is a story told by Buddha that to a man who asked him about the origin of life. Buddha explained in parable that a man was shot by a ...

Introduction:

We know for sure that the universe exists. This knowledge alone is not able to satisfy the insatiable curiosity in humans. Since the existence of mankind, the quest for further understanding of the origin of the universe has been imprinted into the human genetic code. This curiosity has led to more questions than answers. It has led to us to question the significance and purpose of humans in the universe. This curiosity has also led us to question the role of man in this universe. These questions have exited through time: How was the universe created? Where did it ...

Windmills have been widely used since thousands of years to pump water for agricultural purposes, propel ships and grind grains. As civilizations advanced, other convenient sources of energy replaced wind energy. Currently, fossil fuels that include coal, oil and natural gas fulfill the energy needs of nations across the world. These fuel sources are responsible for polluting the environment through the emission of hydrocarbons that cause global warming and various other environmental hazards. Also, these non-renewable energy sources are much limited and continue to deplete from the face of the earth. Therefore, wind energy that can be tapped conveniently ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

The question of origin – (How did life begin? How did mankind come into existence?)

According to the Christian beliefs, all life forms, including mankind, were created by God. This belief is clearly articulated in the story of creation in ...

Indeed, Mixtec writing can be considered to have had an impressive history that spans to more than 2000 years.

The structure and meaning of the Mixtec codical symbolism have been examined and expounded in his article. According to King, the focus on ...

The story, Bloodchild, represents a scientific fiction story that shows human beings isolated in a hysterical world. The humans mainly function as birthing vessels, displaying many elements of western civilization and scientific fiction by the author. However, the author uses many twists in the story showing that the human beings had many civilization weaknesses that needed address. The story happens in space as the characters say that the humans had ancestors saved by the ancient people living on the land.

Jennifer Egan’s novel A Visit from the Goon Squad discusses, among other things, the passage of time, the dangers of obsolescence, and the way cultures grow and change as the years go on. Egan approaches the social trends and fads of American culture in A Visit from the Goon Squad with a jaundiced eye, allowing readers to understand the fleeting and often ignored nature of very serious problems in favor of trivia and pop culture. In the stories “Great Rock and Roll Pauses,” “Pure Language,” and “Black Box,” the environment of the Earth, as well as its culture, is ...

This essay will be one that intends to expose the nature of belief comparing philosophers such as Blaise Pascal, Soren Kierkegaard on justifications for a belief in god and the reasons we believe in general to attempt to answer a greater question of whether we can logically determine the existence of God. Pascal believes that arguments for god may be logical, but they prove above anything else that god doesn’t care and why would we want to believe in someone that doesn’t care?
When we pray we’re asking someone to listen to our problems, we expect the ...

Anthropogenic Global Warming: Man’s Influence in the Environment

Since the Industrial Revolution, scientists are beginning to be aware as to the changing temperatures the Earth, which is now causing several consequences in the planet’s weather systems and the natural balance of the environment. The studies indicated a high increase in carbon dioxide emissions, influencing the increasing temperatures and the subsequent natural calamities that are now violent and destructive similar to nuclear and atomic weaponry. Resources, formerly rich and thriving, are now becoming scarce in various regions and people and animals alike are left with lesser supplies of food and water. Scientists have pointed out that man’s ...

Noah’s story in Genesis approaches the nature of what it means to live in a rather different perspective from the other two. Noah according to King James Version of the Bible was a man of diligence and respect and walked in the ways of God. “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis. 6: 8)”. Noah lived on earth in a time when men were evil and walked in their own knowledge. They cared less about morality or any code of ethics in which they were to live with. They showed no respect to God, who had created ...

Until today, over 2000 minerals have been discovered, and constantly on a daily basis, new minerals are discovered. Minerals just like matter is made up of atoms of elements arranged in a particular way together with a definite chemical composition. Notably, minerals are aggregates of nearly all rocks found on the earth’s crust. Geologists define minerals as inorganic materials on and in the earth’s crust with a specific chemical composition. Most minerals are always naturally occurring and it is worth noting that nearly all the minerals contain crystals. This is attributed to the fact that mineral particles are usually arranged in a ...

Despite being a powerful force when mobilized, social movements and workers rarely utilize their power and in most cases are unaware of their power. Environmental issues such as global warming and climate change are the greatest threat posed to humanity, and they are a direct consequence of the damage resulting from the industrialization of societies. Therefore, this paper will explore how the power of social movements and workers can be tapped and utilized in environmental preservation and pollution reduction efforts.
The planetary management view that the societies in the Western world have adopted is based on the fact that ...

The gospel of Luke was written by Luke (Ellis, 2003). It presents Jesus Christ as the son of God and a savior who comes to save all men. In the book of Luke 4:16-21, Jesus reads the book of prophet Isaiah where it is written that he is sent to release the captives, heal the sick and setting liberty to the oppressed, and he states that the scripture written by Isaiah has been fulfilled. At some instances, Jesus gives promises which were later fulfilled. During the last supper, he promises that one of his disciples will betray him, Peter ...

The Great Divorce a great work of Lewis that attempts to challenge the assumption that humanity will be saved in the end. Lewis revisits the controversial subject of Hell and Heaven and the humanity’s desire of leading a happy life. The book develops a story that explains the people’s course from Hell to Heaven through which the narrator understands that human beings are presented with the opportunity of staying in the heaven, but fail to explore this chance because they prefer to stay in Hell. Lewis develops this concept by creating a scenario where he allows the cursed spirits to have a “ ...

The Cavalier poets emerged in the middle of the 17th century, as followers of King Charles I, and they composed poetry which exemplified a sophisticated amalgamation of wit and clarity of expression, still retaining the necessary level of naiveté and elegance that did not cross the line of fine manners. Their polished lyrics mostly comprised of the courtly themes of praising a woman’s beauty and love, but also their sonnets were in debt to the more masculine themes of heroism in war, honor and the utter devotion to the king. The theme of friendship is one also infused within the ...

For many centuries, this sonnet divided scholars in their responses to it. Many felt that Shakespeare was being deliberately critical of his lover and, therefore, were inclined to dismiss it as a rather cynical poem disparaging his mistress – unconventional for its time, but still straightforward. (Matz, 47). However, there is now a wider critical consensus that this poem is a comic parody of the type of exaggerated love poems written by some of Shakespeare’s contemporaries. (Matz, 48). Crutwell writes:

Vendler says, “ this sonnet is a reply poem to a poet who has just written a sonnet to his mistress....Shakespeare’s speaker retorts, I don’ ...

Why do the myths, works of art and literature history and artwork concerning the Trojan war furnish such a great opportunity to engage all the major questions of life and society and of the humanities
The Trojan War which is a legendary conflict between the people of Troy and the Greeks is said to have been fought for about 10 years with great influence from the gods. The myths and the arts value the Trojan War because it shows that mortals are subject to the fate decided upon them by the gods. In this case, Zeus saw that the ...

The article “Pico Della Mirandola: Oration on the Dignity of Man” if a passage that is tailored to help explain why a man may be considered to be a very important creation of god, higher than all the other creations. However, the author of this piece goes ahead to try and show that there are those times and situations, where this kind of reason given seems not to help vividly explain the reason for a man to be considered to be the greatest creation that needs to be admired by all the other creations be it the stars or ...

Recently, a team led by Andy Challinor from the University of Leeds in the UK stated that after two years, world climate change will affect the harvest of maize in Africa, and a decade later, global warming will impact many varieties of cereals all over the world. This will lead to starvation in Africa and food shortages in the rest of the world, as climatologists fear.
One of the reasons of this cataclysm is the greenhouse effect which is the warming of the planet's surface and atmosphere due to capturing the heat of solar radiation by atmospheric gases. In ...

If one delves deep into the course of human history, it would be understandable that the forms of human communication have been developed and transformed over the ages. While verbal communication has come to become the widely accepted and used form of communication among people of the society, kinesics or body language holds a place of paramount importance when it comes to communicating as well. Often it has been seen that the nonverbal form of communication are used for subversive actions by people so as to register strong protest. Now, it needs to be noted that such body language ...

The purpose of the study was to investigate if a non-change in the current trends in human development will affect groundwater.

Introduction

The indiscriminate and excessive use of groundwater has in the recent past raised questions regarding its sustainability (Ponce, 2006). Both the removal, destruction and impairment of the natural environment in the drive to meet the demands of human development are some of the greatest causes of perilous impacts on the sustainability potential of our natural underground water resource base. This problem is worsened by the fact that unlike surface water, ground water does not ...

Human communication in the society can take the strongest form if a person involves kinesics along with the spoken language. The physical domain of existence provides the scope to the individual to use verbal and non-verbal communication in unison to communicate some idea or matter. Now, the physical attributes that are used in such communication can very well be subversive in nature. One needs to delve into the matter in context to explore how the physical gestures work as symbols of subversion in various situations so as to accentuate the vehemence of opinion and expression by the individual engaging ...

Is Death an Evil?

Death, the most bitter and debilitating aspect of human life, is also a moot question among scholars. While some view it as a 'normal' part of human existence in this materialistic world, others dread it and prefer to avoid discussing this bleak end of human life.
This paper sides with the optimistic viewpoint. It considers death as the end of only organic survival, not the suspension of the eternal soul that soon starts its 'another' journey. Even if we shun the soul immortality and consider death as the permanent end of life, there is no point in considering it ...

It was their belief that breaking the law in this instance would benefit society and be for the greater good by discouraging the use of coal by power plants which contributes significantly ...

“For Marxism, literature does not exist in some timeless, aesthetic realm as an object to be passively contemplated. Rather, like all cultural manifestations, it is a product of the socioeconomic and hence ideological conditions of the time and the place in which it was written, whether or not the author intended it so. Because human beings are themselves products of their socioeconomic and ideological environment, it is assumed that authors cannot help but create works that embody ideology in some form.”

A reader remains wondering how God came into existence. A super human being, very powerful, is creating human beings in his image. Although this may be true, the book of life does not ...

In simple words, the tragedy of commons could be described as individuals working for self-interest and ignoring the needs of society. For example, there is a meadow that is utilized by the farmers of the countryside. The meadow can serve 20 cows in any season. If a farmer increases his number of cows from 2 to 10, this will put negative effect on other 18 cows as their resources will be over utilized. The farmer being aware of this situation does not think about the well being of all the farmers or cows, but only protects his personal interest. After some ...

Culture and Society

According to Zion and Kozleski (2005), culture refers to “The system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of society use to interact with their world and with one another” (p. 3). With regard to the given understanding of culture, a person’s environment provides the essential cementing in the creation and adoption of principles in life. In other words, every human being has ideologies that navigate him or her in life and eventually, said person’s comprehension of death. The aforementioned ideologies are the ...

According to the Word of Faith Christian Fellowship there are a few notable differences (but as well as similarities) between the Gospels of Mathew and John. The two are also believed to account to the different portrayals of death and crucifixion of Jesus. The difference is found in terms of not only the manner of how the two presented the events but in other aspects as well. On the other hand, the similarity between the two is found in the Old Testament references they made. It was mentioned that Mathew is the lone evangelist who shared the story of Magi ...

Microbiology could be etymologically defined as the study of small living things invisible to the naked eye (Hogg, 2013). The progress of microbiology has been tied to the technology available at each time in history. Humans were not even aware of the existence of microorganisms until about 350 years ago, when Anton van Leeuwenhoek observed what he described as ‘animalcules’ through a rudimentary microscope he invented himself (Hogg, 2013). Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and other scientists in the microbiology field relied on the technologies available at their time to face the challenges that arose to them.

The poem “The Starry Night” by Anne Sexton present a complex representation of death. Her personification of the trees within this dark landscape are meant to conjure images of death and aloneness. By taking a look at “The Starry Night” the reader can gain a better understanding of the emotion invested in the concepts of death.
This theme is set within the first line of the poem which states, “The town does not exist/ except where one black-haired tree slips/ up like a drowned woman into the hot sky” (lines 1-3). This line describes the tree by comparing it to a woman who ...
