Introduction

Ostwalt has focused his studies on the interconnection between film and religion, especially the concept of Armageddon which is about the end of the world. Different movies portray Armageddon in different ways depending on the type of movie; be it a horror, comedy or children’s movie. However, in his studies, he reveals that most of the movies produced focus on forces of evil, which attempt to end the world and the good forces which fight the evil in an attempt to save the world from eternal destruction. His theory is inclined toward End-of-World battles which involve the two antagonist ...

Everything in nature is interconnected and people could not live without the surrounding environment. But, being a part of nature, people demonstrate cruel and merciless attitude toward it. Animals play an important role in nature. They are essential not only because they give food and valuable fur, but also because almost all of the animals are really beautiful and interesting.
Cutting down forests or polluting the water in the rivers, many people unwittingly destroy wildlife habitat. Because of the economic human activity and immoderate hunting some animals have disappeared forever, and many others have become rare. Every year there ...

One can compare the Earth to a human being: a being that could grow old, withstand any challenges of being placed in mortal peril and could keep up with the changes of time. However, while the Earth cannot easily succumb to mortal peril like humans, the current threat it is facing may very well be the cause of its death. The threat of global warming or climate change has constantly dominated the scientific community and the public for the past few years since the discovery that the massive carbon emissions coming from man is slowly degrading the ozone layer, which protects ...

Is anthropogenic climate change (what used to be known as "global warming") a problem that needs immediate and/or long term attention?
One of the most common problems each person hears on television is the issue on global warming or climate change. Many often blame global warming for all the severed natural calamities, sweltering weather changes, and the diseases that is now growing around the globe. However, environmentalists, experts, and even the conscious public have shook their heads and said that if one is to blame global warming, one should also blame themselves for the growing problem as man himself ...

We each have a very important individual role and responsibility towards the natural world and preserving the resources that we have in this world. Each person needs to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions in trying to preserve this beautiful planet for future generations. Some people may believe that environmental protection is not their problem, so they may ignore the issue all together. These people may believe that they are only one person, and that because they are only one person they will have no major impact on the earth, and therefore they have no reason to act ...

For the past few decades, people – from the citizens to the scientific community – would often comment that the world continues to change. Weather patterns become erratic, daily temperatures often alternate from hot to cold, and the scarcity of resources becomes more prominent in various areas in the globe. However, scientists are divided as to why the world changes as some believe it’s a natural occurrence while others believe it is due to climate change. The public had been divided on who or what to blame regarding the current situation of the planet, however, many are currently leaning towards the ...

At the turn of the new millennium, there were rumors that technology would collapse and the world would cease to exist in its current form. When this did not happen, a new theory emerged, based on the ancient Mayan calendars that claimed that the world, and life, would end in 2012. This doomsday prediction is based on claims of ancient manuscripts from all over the world. There is, however no scientific evidence that the world will end in 2012, or that the Mayans ever equated such relevance with the date, which is, in fact the last date on their calendar. ...

The inquisitive nature of human beings has led this species to solve innumerable mysteries and explore the Blue planet. The same intrusive nature has also propelled them to explore the space to find out new planets and stars. The persistent evolution and development of space technology have allowed man to discover and investigate the outer space and the inestimable celestial structures. Whereas the astronomers study the stars and the sky through their telescopes, the human spaceflight and unmanned robotic surveys are conducted to explore the space physically. However, a lot of money is spent on space exploration. While many ...

Introduction

While they claim that a picture is worth a thousand words, it may portray different meanings depending on culture. Music is extraordinary; it is a universal language that is poses minimal cases of discrimination. Music is a language that conveys emotion across all cultures. Regardless of the previous exposure or culture, individuals can watch or listen to a song and detect whether a song contains happiness, fear and sadness. The lyrics, the dance, melody and tone bring people to unity. For this, we can refer to the Shakira’s Waka Waka song in 2010. The song was a hit all over the world despite being sung ...

The argument is based on the discrimination between people, and this argument has been extended to non-human animals which are as much terrestrial beings as humans are. The liberation movements have yielded golden results in different parts of the globe, be it the Apartheid or the ones that fought against foreign imperialism. Women got their right, but they had to wage a long standing battle to be finally considered at par with men. The darkly skinned people had to snatch their rights, and so was the case with those countries that were ruled by foreign power. The subject in question ...

What is Global Warming

What is global warming, and how is it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants? Global warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth's surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and creating many problems that will begin to occur in the coming decades.

Global climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Between the excessive consumption of non-renewable resources that many industrialized nations are guilty of and the growing environmental problems of waste management, the environment of the planet has been changed completely. Whether or not this change is reversible is still debated by scientists; one thing that is for certain, however, is that if care is not taken by everyone on the planet, the changes that have occurred in the past few hundred years will become permanent. Reducing the carbon footprint of every individual and company on ...

Dawkins Richard compares religion to a virus, which spreads and infects the weak-minded people, making them produce aberrant behavior. Like a virus, religion begins as a by- product, and use human beings to propagate its spread. Religions are costly to those infected in them, just as the idea of viruses. Religions demand large amounts of time and money impose health risks and make people believe in things that are contradicting. Religions and viruses succeed by using threats and promises, which People accept and want to pass. This is evident in Michael Blume’s speech, “The reproductive advantage of religion.” In his graph, ...

Is anthropogenic climate change (what used to be known as "global warming") a problem that needs immediate and/or long term attention?
Anthropogenic climate change has been an issue rising all over the world. It is considered to have more negative impacts than positive ones as the world continues to experience the effects of such global change in all aspects of life. Scientists have indicated that each year, the world continues to heat up, and resources are slowly dwindling for all living beings. It is visible in recent years that weather patterns have gradually turned for the worst as typhoons, ...

Is Global Climate Change Man-Made?

The human influence on global climate change could not be denied. Several studies conducted by different scientific organizations and led by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show the reality of climate change and how human beings contribute to it. In fact, several studies claim “that about 97% of climate scientists actively doing research agree that climate change is happening and is human-caused” (“Climate Change Just the Facts”).
Although there are other groups of people who strongly believe that global climate change is brought about by “the natural variation in the planet’s complex weather systems” (Harvey, “Scientists ...

Religion has become a very significant force all around the world. Religion on the planet is present in the form of plurality, that means more than one religion are followed by different group of people. There are those who embrace Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity and then there are those who don’t embrace any kind of religion at all. According to Nigel and Linda (2009) “Reasons for coercive legislation drawn from some particular religion will seldom if ever satisfy the condition for justified coercion”. There are many people belonging to different religions residing in a particular society.

Natural resources are getting finished at a rate faster than nature can restore, and still we continue to live as if these resources were limitless. The human race is faced with a great risk of extinction, and no amount of faith or willpower can save us from the extinction that threatens our existence. Natural resources such as oil have continued to reduce over the years and have led to the loss of certain species on earth such as dinosaurs, and there are numerous concerns that mankind will face the same fate in the future (Drake). The human race is ...

Heroes are central characters. They are time and again protagonists, ‘good guys’ and the chief characters of comic books. They play the role of orienting the audience in the line of the author’s story-telling. Villains are winning over characters who are often antagonists. They have evil motivations and wrong action to rhyme. The difference between the superheroes and the villains is that the heroes feel a sense of responsibility to other people who are not as powerful as them, but for the villains, they use the power to benefit themselves without having compassion on other people (The Write ...

Just as James Lovelock once said, “We live at a time when emotions and feelings count more than truth, and there is a vast ignorance of science”, it is true that in this age it is increasingly important to listen to the scientific facts, as science is the best tool we have to discern whether or not climate change is caused by mankind. The term “anthropogenic” is used to describe human-made climate change and means originating in human activity. Climate change is defined in the change in global climatic patterns since the mid-20th century and is not limited to ...

The Importance of an Emergency Management Plan: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery

It may not come as a surprise to say that, as humans reach out in search of food and shelter, it is the environment around them that is being abused. As man’s needs grow, so too does the pressure on the environment grow, as a result of which, an ecological imbalance is created unconsciously. And once an ecological imbalance occurs, a series of events are triggered that culminates in large scale loss of life and property. There is no doubt the importance the environment has on life on this planet, but man himself, pressed for space, finds no other option but ...

A child is a wealth of the world, not a particular family or country, but of the world, and a hope that all people on the planet will live in peace. So, adults have to understand that the way a child is treated and brought up, later all that is going to be mirrored.

Thesis

Earth is the only known planet with favorable climate conditions to support life. All the living beings on earth heavily rely on its climate, hence any variation in climate conditions may disturb life on earth.

The works of Ray Bradbury have long been held up as examples of speculative fiction: the forms of genres which, generally, encompass a wide range of imaginative features. His work often presents common themes such as those with pertain to the future, space, science fiction and the dystopian qualities of future societies. For example, in Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury discusses a future society where books are banned: presenting the reader with a hint of anti-meta narrative, given that the book is the very thing in the readers’ hands. This also represents Bradbury’s most famous work: it is universally accepted as being one ...

It’s one of the longest running TV shows in history, and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on both the TV and in the theater but there are a myriad of philosophies and mysterious theories that surround it.

After almost 55 years since the first human flight into space, we have not yet developed space technology enough to settle in the neighboring planets and the moon, as expected by our ancestors. But in spite of the gradual and perhaps not such a rapid development of space technology, as we would like, the humanity moves progress forward and dreams about the cosmos. Every year mankind spends huge amount of manpower and resources for space programs, which are realized, forcing science and technology to move forward. And it's not a waste, but it's an investment in the future.
Unfortunately, ...

The modern world is a wonderful place with millions of chances and possibilities for everyone. A person may find good in everything that surrounds them; however, there is also different side of the world that is full of evil. Evil is something morally wrong and wicked that may cause harm or pain. It is difficult to find the only objective root of evil, as it is actually everywhere, waiting for a person at every corner. My best guess would be that the humans with their free will are the sources of the most evil deeds on this planet, as ...

Biomimicry, whose name truly makes an interpretation of Greek to 'impersonation of life,' depends on a basic thought: people can enormously advantage by mimicking the common procedures found in science and topography (Gamage and Hyde, 2012). This is not another thought; horticulture, training of creatures and populace settlement in light of topography all show that people and their environment have shared a profound beneficial interaction. (Gamage and Hyde, 2012). Presently, as science upgrades our ability to better comprehend the Earth consistently, we too are finding creative approaches to consolidate these discoveries into our lives.
Apparently the most earth shattering ...

Since the ancient history, people have been wearing clothes made from leather and animal fur. One cannot imagine a cave man without a small piece of leather hanging around his waist. Then, it was the only material that they could use for making clothes. However, since the modern ages, leather and fur coats have become the synonyms for wealth and the branding mark for many fashion designers. On the other hand, the planet is facing with the extinction of animal species that are killed only for its fur or skin. Leather and fur coats should be outlawed so that the civilization ...

There are some subtle differences in the two essays, although they both point out the negative aspect of gender norms and expectations. For Jensen, Masculinity is just a bummer. It’s all about primal conquest and competition to determine who the is Alpha male and where everyone else is on the social hierarchy. It’s exhausting and has some very negative consequences, from stress to violence towards women. He seems genuinely tired of men being forced to adhere to the strict guidelines of masculinity. Zeilinger is looking at men from the outside and seems to focus more on generalizations and ...

Human beings should treat animals as living things with their goals and interest. While consciousness between species is ever equal between two different species, human beings should recognize the animals have dignity, and our value system should take that into consideration for pets and livestock. Outside of an ethical question, meat diets are more taxing on the environment those vegetarian diets. Another question in human treatment of animals is how animals should be treated in experimental situations and what species of animals should be used.
For much of human consideration, ethics was not a discipline that extended human compassion ...

With the rapid advance of today’s technologically rooted world, a logical question to ask is whether we are in control of the technology, or the technology is in control of us? It seems every day a new advancement has been made, whether it concerns something as big as a space shuttle or something as small as a microchip. Moreover, all of these advancements affect our lives and can be challenging to stay knowledgeable about. Could it be that technology is already advancing beyond the scope of our human brains, and will continue to do so? The answer is no. The human brain ...

For this reason, it has changed the public perception about climatic change and global warming. With regard to this, this paper seeks to explore the credibility and reliability of the media in its efforts to address the impacts of climatic change and global warming. In this regard, ...

Over the years, scientists have devoted so much time and effort trying to explain to the lay people the dynamics of climate change and how this phenomenon is related to global warming. In general, global warming happens when the earth’s surface temperature rises. Scientists have emphasized that the warming of the earth is a natural process. Greenhouse gases are vital in maintaining an optimal temperature for the survival of all living organisms (Spencer, 45). While it is true that such warming is important, excessive greenhouse gases may result to substantial increase in temperature (Spencer, 46). Such increase in temperature ...

When Genetically Modified (GM) foods were first introduced they gave the public the impression that the world was about to be saved from famine. Those genetically altered crops were trumpeted by vested interest groups as not only producing much higher yields but also to eradicate poverty and hunger in many parts of the world. Numerous exaggerated claims were made by multinational corporations regarding properties of the GM crops, such as their resistance to pests, disease and drought conditions, and their ability to adapt to harsh climatic conditions in countries across the planet.
The science of genetically modifying technology ...
