Continuity And Biodiversity

Please sit down and relax for a moment, and ask yourself the question of all questions: What is most important to you in life? This is a question asked by many psychologists, surveyors and even employers. A common answer is “I just want to be happy and successful and follow my dreams.” But think about it– who really makes you happy? Who helps you become successful? Who inspires you to follow your dreams? To this people generally answer: Family. Now imagine what it would be like to have your family taken from you in the spur of a moment.

How do our relationships with others define who we are? Others affect us greatly. The people who surround us everyday have a great impact on our own life. Friends and family are the people who create you, and are part of the reason of who you are today. For example, when there’s a new trend, or when someone says a mean comment, you might change something about you at one point or another. Who affects your life?

Even though it is human nature to choose family members above friends, and to feel as though family ties are more substantial, having a “family first mentality” what a person decides affects every person around us, moral and ethical codes instilled in us through family should only be considered a starting point for our own choices, although in general, people have honorable intentions, there are times when their choices are made from poor examples set before them. Loving your family doesn’t require agreement with them, or following their unhealthy example. The life of Daryl Dixon, of The Walking Dead, is one I would like to explore.

Stability Over Family It is human nature to form relationships and build connections with one another. Whether it be with family, friends, or even strangers we meet, these connections make life richer and more meaningful. Among these relationships, family holds a unique place in our lives. They are the ones that shape our values, beliefs, and personalities.

Many want to believe that you can be your own person without the authoritative figures around you changing their views on you, but honestly I think that this is the opposite of reality. The people that are associated with you, such as your family and friends, illustrate a picture that shows what kind of person you are. Although this seems limiting, to the outside world, the people in your life and the ones you are supported by, shape the way that people depict you . Being related to someone is the same thing. Once associated with them, there is an assumption that you are similar or same in beliefs.

Nature is very much discontinuous, but natural selection acts in a continuous manner, so the hard part is finding out how nature is filled with these discrete and discontinuous groups called species. The common criticism is that the inability to observe the formation of the new species means natural selection is causing it, and the species never actually form, but as Coyne says, “…it’s like saying that because we haven’t seen a single star go through its complete life cycle, stars don’t evolve, or because we haven’t see a new language arise, languages don’t evolve” (183). Just because we aren’t seeing the new species form right away, it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. As stated before, it can take a lot time for a new species to form.

My family and I are all extremely close. We never go over a couple of days without talking, whether that by in person, by phone, or via messaging. Supporting and talking care of one another trumps all other responsibilities. We are each other’s support systems and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I have a few really great friends that are always there when I need them. Second guessing my importance to my friends is a tendency I have had since middle school but I am working on it.

My family has always been very close. We spend a great deal of time together and express our deep feelings and emotions with one another. If one of us has an issue, every member of the family is aware of it and shares the burden. When a person in the family does not share significant information about one’s life with the rest of the members, there is hurt feelings. Also, if a member cannot attend a family event, the family feels disappointed and misses the absent member. It is evident that connectedness is held as extremely valuable.

Today in our lives, we are surrounded by many people. Some of these people we are surrounded by are either people we do not care for, or they are the people that we cannot spend enough time with. These people we enjoy the most of, are either our family or our closest friends. You may think that friends and family are just a like, but they do differ from each other, and without either of them our life would feel incomplete.

When you think of survival of the fittest, you may be wrong. If you think about it as more of survival of the best adapted to a species environment. Now this can be used with a few following examples; a species will not be able to survive if it is the strongest of its kind if the area it lives in is cold. The specimen with the warm fur coat will outlast the physically strong. Now this can work the other way as well the specimen with the fur coat may not be able to defend its self from the predators if it is not the most physically fit specimen. The end result if the species does not adapt to the new surroundings it will eventually die out and become extinct, leaving the one specimen who has now passed on the fur coat to survive in the cold

You can choose your friends but you cannot choose your family members. Friendships are like voluntary relationships that are usually created to have an escape from family. Friends are a way of having someone you can relate to without having to be around them every day. Family on the other hand are forever; till death do you part. Family members may get on your nerves from time to time but they are always there when you need them at the end of the day. Though friendships and family are on different relationship levels they require the same amount of attention.

That changed while I started to grow older and I started to learn that relationships is just a word. A word to depict how objects have a connection to another object, whether it be a person, place, or thing. As I grew older I started to go through a period of development and self-discovery. A relationship comes with development and self-discovery because it's not just about the word it is about what forms and shapes those bonds. It is a continuous learning curve that is constantly teaching us about ourselves and what we want in the world. My relationship in the world is both immense and intense. When I shape a relationship, I am making a commitment to those that I meet and for the things I have and will protect. Having a connection with others are what make me upbeat and happy. For all the new friends and family, I will never stop forming bonds with those around me. As time progresses I will never end my bonds with those I meet, even if I only see them once. Nothing ever ends in a relationship, once it is formed you will always remember the person, moment and

I feel my friends and family have had a good influence on my life. They have influenced me a great deal. I tie friends and family into one group because I feel they both did the same thing for me, and I see my friends as a family and family as friends. My friends, although they have changed a ton in my life, have been great in helping me in my development. They have helped me a great deal in my life but they were the ones who first started me drinking and using tobacco. So I guess they weren’t always good. But I don’t think anyone can go through life without friends to help them along the way. You always

Nowadays I have close friends who I can talk to whenever I'm sad or need someone to talk to who I'm really thankful for and don't know what I'd do without. In the past years, i’ve gained more trust worthy friends which makes every day even better. My family is something I need to keep in mind knowing that they care about me and knowing that they will

Around the world large numbers of species are threatened with extinction due to the degradation of ecosystems and widespread deforestation for industrial purposes. The resources available for biodiversity conservation to protect all the endangered species are unfortunately inadequate (Myers 1996). It is therefore paramount to use these resources in the most effective ways possible. This literature review will focus on evaluating existing biodiversity budgets and the effectiveness of various investment approaches used in biodiversity conservation programs.
