India, being one of the world’s nations that focuses on climate change and control, is among those setting up treaties and designs to pertain to the environmental changes coming along year after year. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest leaders to leave this world, left with a few words on the environment: “The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.” If we as humans cannot live up to this standard of the loan we’ve been given in this lifetime, who can? India was first colonized in the sixteenth century by multiple European nations, with one of those nations being France in particular. Its …show more content…
However, the countryside has a profound monsoon season that can be witnessed throughout June and into September along the Southern tips in retrospect. Contributing to China’s land is the fact that it alone reaches 9.7 million kilometers squared, triple that of India’s. Because China shares the border with 14 nations alongside it, it is put at higher risk of climate change. On the one hand, it is comprised of approximately 70% plateaus and mountainous regions, giving in more effect for the ozone to take its natural toll. The 5000 rivers leading into the Pacific Ocean also play a role in this climate propaganda. The United States has a total area of approximately more than 3.5 million square miles, thus making it the third largest country in the world, and slightly larger than China, but it still is known to have the largest, and most powerful economy in the world. With the nation’s population growing at a semi-average rate of 1.25%, it is without a doubt a need to have under control all the aspects of mitigation and irrigation of the land in terms of its people seeing that as of 2008, India’s approximate irrigated land totaled in at 663,340 square kilometers. Being the fourth largest economy in the world as per the GDP in 2011, India’s economic growth has expanded at a yearly rate of approximately 7% since the year 2000. At this growing rate, energy demand will
After the Industrial revolution started in Europe the Europeans needed raw material from other countries and from that came the Idea of Imperialism when one country takes over another. Although what the British were doing seemed to be benefiting India was actually doing the opposite. Many things that the Europeans did to India weather it was political, economic, or social the Europeans found ways to have those things benefit the British and very little or not at all to the Indian.
After America had attained independence, the focus on imperial colonisation turned to India for the first time.
Another problem that we may stumble upon would be relying on other people to be ecologically responsible instead of ourselves. We often believe that there are other people out there in the world who are making a difference and so we passively sit back and do nothing. However, we are all accountable for our own actions. Palmer (2015) is a man who worked around the world with people from every major religion from Daoism to Zoroastrianism. He has witnessed many religious environmental movements emerge and grow. He states that the basis of the environmental
India was first introduced to Islam in the 600’s when Arab traders regularly sailed to
“Personal choices, no matter how virtuous, cannot do enough. It will also take laws and money,” (Pollan 717). Pollan clearly states that even if everyone around the world changes the ways they live and think, it will not be enough to put an end to this serious situation. If mankind wants to heal the damage that has been done, people must change their lifestyles and thought processes. They will have to invest the time and the money in order to save the world. The only way for this change to take place is if a globally accepted environmentally friendly campaign arises around the world and is taken seriously. Earth-friendly movements often die out because of their lack of support and having an international movement begin with global support is the only way to truly have a positive impact on the
The world is being sickened by the needs of man in today's society. People, love to live in luxury without knowing the consequences of their actions. This is because man lives at a pace set by himself, and not one that is naturally set by nature. This is shown excellently in a quote inside of the novel Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. The Quote states, “the rapidity of change and the speed with which new situations are created follow the impetuous and heedless pace of man rather than the deliberate pace of nature.” The Earth is experiencing such rapid and disastrous change due to the wants of man. Man demands too much from the earth and not only is this changing the Earth, but it is also depleting many non renewable resources
Justice to future generations requires us to pass along the beauty and bounty of Earth diminished. Our politics, economy, and media betray an almost infantile fixation on the present moment, seeking or selling instant gratification, oblivious to history. We need to develop a culture worthy or adults, one that recognizes our actions have consequences. If we take more than we need from the riches of the planet, if we drain aquifers, squander topsoil, or fish the seas bare, we are stealing from our children. If we fill dumps with toxic waste, fill barrels with radioactive debris, spew poisons into the atmosphere and oceans, we will leave our descendants a legacy of grief. Conservation aims to avoid causing harm to our children, or their children, or to any children ever” (Sanders
Present day China is an unlimited nation. It is the world's fourth biggest nation and is home to roughly 1.25 billion individuals - about a quarter of the world's populace. It has an awesome assortment of atmospheres and territories. The south is wet and tropical, with some downpour woods scope. North-west China is secured in desert. In the exact far north-east, near Russia, the temperature can drop to - 50ºC in the winter. In the west of China there are the Himalayas, with a percentage of the most noteworthy mountains on the planet. China's most minimal point is in the Turfan Depression, at - 154 meters beneath ocean level. The Turfan Depression is otherwise called one of the "heaters" of China due to its mind boggling warmth. The liquefying snows from the mountains in the west make the headwaters for two of China's most essential waterways, the Yellow River and the Yangzi River. The Yellow River gets its name in view of the yellow wind-borne earth dust called loses that is blown over the north of China from the steppes of Central Asia. The loses is blown into the waterway and gives it a yellow appearance. The Yangzi River is the longest in China and third longest on the planet. The Yangzi River waters the rice developing districts in the south of China.
It wasn’t until after Columbus had died that it was found that this land was not India and in fact an entirely new and unexplored continent. Once word got out other civilizations started setting sail towards the west to find what else could be discovered. All of this ultimately resulted in colonizing what is now North and South America
But those in power, especially in the West, see the earth as a commodity and wish to rule over it. Sadly, where the earth is in trouble, and climate change is most prevalent, it also happens to be in those communities with the most poor and isolated be it animal or person.
The global decline of the environment is readily observable. Today, the quality of air, water and land resources is increasingly compromised because of the pollutants that contaminate the environment. For the sake of industrialization and economic development, some countries are willing to risk their natural resources. Environmental degradation can be seen anywhere. According to some observers, environmental degradation is more rampant in countries with poor economic conditions as compared to more affluent countries (Ambler, n.d.). China and India, for instance, are developing countries yet it is among the biggest contributor to air pollution in terms of carbon dioxide emission ( PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, 2014). Most often, leaders of developing economies are willing to
The vast expansion of Muslim faith in Asia helped India connect with the outside world through trade, diplomacy, and exchange in ideas or religions. During this time, the Europeans pictured the luxurious wealth of India through accounts from Muslims and traded with India (through the Muslim territories in Asia—like the Ottoman Empire’s territory). The Europeans did not want to have to do this anymore; they wanted to find a direct trade route to India. So, after years of cartographical and maritime advancements, the first European who achieved this mission was Vasco da Gama in 1498, by maritime travel around the Cape of Good Hope. This direct contact from the Portuguese truly started the Age of European reign in India. I will examine the three
There has been much discussion of late about the harm that is being done to Earth. Conservation efforts are being taken up by many but not all. It is strange that people can brush aside such a problem when it impacts them personally so strongly. Earth is our home and without her we have extremely limited options of survival. All humans, no matter what country they live in, should strive to help Earth go green for our own benefit and hers.
India was an ancient civilization that had many rulers and empires. The first rulers were the Harappans. They ruled from 3500 BC through 1500 BC. The Aryans took over the Harappan empire around 1500 BC. Then, Alexander the Great came and took over control of India. After ruling for only a couple of years, he died. A few years later the Mauryan Empire took over. Next was the Ashoka. Finally, the Guptas ruled from 320 BC through 535 AD.
The Earth is a dynamic, constantly changing environment in which the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere all interact. When one changes slightly the change is then felt through out the spheres. Humans need to understand that the change they cause can have a potential for a disastrous affect on the environment. From injecting the atmosphere with greenhouse gas, or deforestation, all the unnatural things done to the environment will have an unnatural affect that will have to be dealt with. We as humans have a moral responsibility to reduce global warming gasses by changing our modes of transportation, to stop deforestation, and increase government funding into research to inhibit global warming for
