Human Nature Of Nature

Many species that exists today are becoming endangered to extinction. In the past era where humans did not exist, extinction occurred due to natural causes. On this present time however, extinction of species are threatened by humans’ existence. Humans are the only moral agent; in which, it has the intellectual capacity that animals and plants do not have. Thus, humans are powerful and dominate over any species. Many practices that humans do such as: tree logging, environment pollution, exploitation of animals and others has led to many species being endangered to extinction. Thus, humans have a moral obligation to preserve endangered species for such reasons focus on

In Genesis the word of God leads humanity in the direction of self preservation, urging them to procreate, to ”Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 9:1), and to minimize hostility and violence among people. As Freud asserted, “Besides the instinct to preserve living substance and join it into ever larger units, there must exist another, contrary instinct seeking to dissolve those units and bring them back to their primeval, inorganic state” (Freud 77). Genesis exemplifies the struggle between the two opposing human instincts, with God acting as a moderator between them. Forms of justice are put into place in an attempt to control these drives, one example being the proclamation that “Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person’s blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6). The ethics and laws that develop throughout Genesis seek to “prevent the crudest excesses of brutal violence” but are unable to control “the more cautious and refined manifestations of human aggressiveness” (Freud 70). Since they cannot be completely eradicated, the scriptures instead play into the more negative aspects of human nature, especially narcissism, and manipulate them into a force for conservation rather than annihilation.

Human beings are part of the animal kingdom, and therefore part of nature. If that is true, then everything they create or destroy is by default "natural". I agree with the statement.

Human nature by essence has been the cause of many entrepreneurial paths, all follow to known the essence itself behind of what we conceive as life. Moreover it’s righteous description and abstract content, that many great man has humbly studied and that for centuries have made a path closely enough to the understanding of it, yet far from the light, it seems to be and unsolvable question that gives us a “Raison d'être” to our existence in this world.

The nature of man is violent. Initially blood was spilt out of necessity, for survival. The primitive world was kill or be killed, and Homo Sapiens were able to come down from their trees and out of their caves because they found ways to kill efficiently. This bloodlust makes us unique and gave us an advantage over our meeker cousins, as the human race endured while Homo Erectus and the Neanderthals went extinct, fading into the ether of history. However, very quickly man ran out of prey, ran out of things to kill, and as a result turned their arrows, spears, swords, and later guns on one another. Peter O’Toole said it best as the titular character of the classic film, Lawrence of Arabia, by stating that man was, “greedy, barbarous, and cruel,” mirroring the beliefs of Thomas Hobbes and his concept of man’s State of Nature.

As we continue to grow and have a greater impact on the Earth’s systems, it is essential that we address our role and relationship with nature. The separation of humans from nature encourages environmentally irresponsible behavior because it allows us to take on the conqueror role, giving us the ability to manipulate the landscape with the duty to provide and proliferate. Throughout human history, we have made advancements in technology and agriculture, resulting in the imbalance and overuse of land. The ability of humans to manipulate the landscape and recognize the consequences of doing so makes us an invasive species. Our dependency on Earth’s resources and services put us at competition with the environment. In order to understand our role

The Western world is the dominant society with specific parameters for modernity, which understands nature-people relationships from a perspective that is grounded on human domination over the environment. Nature is regarded as a provider of resources (e.g. oil, timber, cupper, rubber, etc.) for the profit and greed of a market-based economy that seeks infinite development. Consequently, the human-nature relationships are subject-object, implying

Today, numerous individuals are persuaded that the end of the dark wolf was a blunder, as well as a drawback to the personal satisfaction in this nation. There has been an open objection to redress the circumstance made by the lack of awareness of our progenitors. Then again, in trying to address a circumstance made by the human impulse to control nature, it is significant to recognize the amount of human impedance is fundamental. Human control must be tempered by an appreciation and restriction. Projects intended for the insurance and rebuilding of untamed life must reflect respect for the normal request instead of predominance over it.

Terrestrial wildlife is a key segment of tropical woods groups as pointers of environment wellbeing and suppliers of critical biological system administrations (Ahumada et al., 2011). Wildlife customarily alludes to undomesticated creature species, yet has come to incorporate all plants, parasites, and different living beings that develop or live wild in a territory without being presented by people. Wildlife could be found in all biological communities. Deserts, woodlands, rain backwoods, fields, meadows, and different zones including the most created urban territories, all have particular types of natural life. While the term in mainstream culture as a rule alludes to creatures that are untouched by human components, most researchers concur that much natural life is influenced by human activities. This will cause the possibility of wildlife being extinct before their numbers are known. People had verifiably tended to separate human advancement from untamed life in various ways including the lawful, social, and good sense. A few creatures, in any case, have adapted to rural conditions. This incorporates such creatures as tamed felines, pooches, mice, and gerbils. A few religions pronounced certain creatures to be holy, and in present day times sympathy toward the regular habitat has incited activists to challenge the abuse of wildlife for human advantage or use. When productivity of wildlife decreases, people tend looking for them in new area. This step would allow for

The power struggle between man and the wild has been relevant since the beginning of time; at humanity’s start, the domination of nature was necessary for survival. But as hunting and gathering fell out of fashion and factories and farming began to reign, the destruction of our environment has become a very real threat. The question, then, becomes what mankind’s place is in the wild earth it was born into. Intentionally or not, humans have explored their role in the wilderness through art forms such as writing, music, and artwork. In the painting Kindred Spirits by Asher Brown Durand, nature is depicted as a lush, wild place in which man is simply an observant party, unaffecting and insignificant.

Human beings believe themselves to be the most important species, they use their status to overpower other species when they should be coinciding, similar to Gary Snyder’s perspective in “The Etiquette of Freedom” everything is born from nature and should be addressed with kindness. when the perspective shifts away from the man-made hierarchy, they are neither superior nor inferior. Humans cannot separate themselves from the animals or insects surrounding them, for they are equal beings all coexisting on planet Earth. Snyder believes that “to speak of wilderness is to speak of wholesomeness” (pg.12) which represents the very idea that what makes this world whole is the simple fact of equality between creatures. Regardless of technology or luxury items all species begins the same, and although humans do not register in their minds that they originate from nature, “nature is not a place to visit, it is home…”

The connection between nature and humans began at the beginning of creation where early civilization learned farming, irrigation and hunting. In the same way, humans were living in harmony with nature. However, for a long time now, because of the technological revolution, the relationship between humans and their environment decreases.

White’s thesis in The Historical Roots of our Ecological Crisis states that in order to confront the expanding environmental crises, humans must begin to analyze and alter their treatment and attitudes towards nature. The slow destruction of the environment derives from the Western scientific and technological advancements made since the Medieval time period. “What people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things around them” (RON p.7). Technology and science alone will not be able to save humans until we adjust the way of thinking and suppress the old ideas of humans power above nature. Instead, we need to learn how to think of ourselves as being

Gender roles have always existed to some extent throughout history, and it has been a stepping stone of human life and broader nature. In the Greek society women were not allowed to impede in politics or any matter other than their household work, yet the goddess of marriage and birth, Hera, defies all of the rules. Hera’s jealousy, trickery, and temper creates unwanted havoc, thus making her a significant character in The Iliad.
