The Fate of Humanity

Everyone has heard the expression "curiosity killed the cat." That is to say, the search for new wisdom can often have unpleasant consequences; a child curious about the kitchen stove is bound to get burned. This is exactly what Kurt Vonnegut demonstrates in Cat's Cradle with the example of ice-nine, which is developed by the fictional creator of the atom bomb, Felix Hoenikker. It is symbolic of the atom bomb in that it has the power to end human life. Hoenikker is obviously an exceedingly smart man; however, it can be inferred from his inventions that he does not always consider the negative consequences of his new discoveries. He is merely on a quest for further knowledge, not a quest to better our society. The game of cat's cradle,

Jared Diamond, in his article, “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human race”, explains that the worst mistake that humans made was the decision to change from a hunter gatherer society into an agriculture society. Jared Diamond gives evidence of how switching from an agricultural society was a bad mistake. Many believe that adopting an agricultural society and leaving the hunter gatherer society was the way to a more qualitative and sustainable lifestyle. As Diamond says, it is true that because this society was adopted and evolved because we have longer lifespans and live better now than how people lived back in the old days. But Diamond`s claim that the hunter gatherer society gave humans more benefits individually than what the agricultural society had to offer is agreeable.

They were the defective products of their time, and the poison that fed their roots run deep, deep, and even the future children of this village will not be spared from it entirely. The barbarism will end, but the lingering specter of their life and culture - shinobi - will always echo, onward, perhaps to perpetuity.

One of the most significant mile-stones in the human race is agriculture. Ten-thousand years ago, the practice of farming, cultivating land and soil to produce crops, and domesticating and rearing animals to produce food, wool and other products, opened a door for the beginning of civilization. In the article, “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race”, written by Jared Diamond, Diamond contradicts the fact that human history has been a long tale of progress. He argues that agriculture is the reason that the human race is cursed with social and sexual inequality, disease, and despotism. Diamond uses many examples to prove his statement.

This shows that overtime hope was lost,though not all had lost hope with the passing of time but once hope was lost either from the beginning or towards the end it lead each and every one of them into a state of mind which made them think and act as their desires will, they thought their savage behaviour was fine because in the end, no one was going to save them. The lost of hope within the boys was one of the reasons the boys were lead to chaos.

As Jared Diamond asked and answered in his article titled: The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race, he found that the main mistake of our kind was the start of the agricultural revolution. The progressivist view tries to explain the distant past by saying that the primitive people’s lives significantly made a turn for the better when they switched to farming, from gathering. Archaeologists can determine this by remains of plants and animal life from the prehistoric garbage dumps. Today people seem to think we are “ better off,” than those in the past, but Diamond’s article goes to contest this idea. Diamond says that the central belief is also that people

Although Kaede’s father dedicated his time for shinobi life, his personal belief in the system started to dwindle after leaving soon after; noting troubles that have been happening all

As most people would agree, the 20th century contained some of the bloodiest and most gruesome events ever recorded in history. Why do words such as Hiroshima, Rwanda, The Final Solution, A Great Leap Forward, The Great Purge and so many more spark such vivid images of blood, torture and murder in our minds? And despite those horrific images, what is it that causes us humans time and time again to commit such crimes against humanity? Those are the kinds of questions Jonathan Glover, a critically acclaimed ethics philosopher, tries to answer in the book he had spent over ten years writing, Humanity: A Moral History of the 20th Century. Through Humanity Glover tries to answer those questions in a way which will give a solution as how we can

“The Damned Human Race” by Mark Twain is the epitome of a satirical essay that drives the reader to contemplate his or her self’s own morals and ideals. “The Damned Human Race” is about Mark Twain comparing humans to animals to show that humans are the “lower animals”. Mark Twain embeds the idea that humans are corrupt, evil, and cruel creatures, unable to ever evolve. Mark Twain uses many outrages comparisons to further prove his point and engage the reader. Mark Twain’s word choice, ability to articulate his ideas, bold statements, and harsh viewpoints draws the reader in to reflect upon oneself.

I was leading the troupes back in the mountains. My men were hungry, exhausted, and dirty, and so was I. I was still in a constant alert state even though the battle was over. It wasn't easy to prevail, but I had a feeling that this wasn't all.

At the beginning of Our Posthuman Future by Francis Fukuyama, it talks about two different books: 1984 and Brave New World. These books talk about multiple technologies that would change and shape the next two generations. For the decade that these books were published it had them think that having a utopian world would have no consequences. I disagree with it for the most part, because if we are created to have certain qualities or characteristics then we would lose the understanding of what it means to be human. It referred to invetro fertilization and Fukoyama thought it was a deal with the devil. And it is in a way. We shouldn’t be allowed to mess with the creation of life or choose what they would

Everything eventually dies, and the Creator will decide whether you’ll go to hell or heaven.” Real power, after all, belongs to the Maker, not the destroyer. This work or art belongs to its Creator alone (Dewitt).” It’s not the fact that you physically die, but the fact the you might be cast into hell. Ethology is the study of animals’ emotions, so they can feel fear, have an anxiety, discomfort, pain, and distress. They feel the same thing as us. Jay McDaniels stated that treating animals kindly, protecting their species, respecting their autonomy, recognizing their independent relations with God, and seeing them as revelations of divine presence will bring “good news (McDaniel 132).” Seeing how the animals' value is so important to this world will bring sustainability. They exist in this world to be treated right and to be understood. “Human beings are distinctive in this: we are the only kind that can make the decision to not to exercise our capacity to destroy our own kind, other kinds, otherkind, and the earth

Taken away , from wondrous lands that once were my own to roam and freely enjoy with the others of my kind. It’s all destroyed , nothing was spared, not a single tree,flower,vine,or blade of grass . It feels bare as I glide past tall buildings that are vacant with stories about large creatures talking and laughing gibberish.

Doomsday is defined as the day where the world will come to an end and people will face God on Judgment Day. Many people are fascinated by the notion that Doomsday will eventually happen soon, but there’s always a miscalculation when it comes to predicting as when the world will end. World War II is the most significant period in the twentieth century because technology, civil rights movement in the U.S, and the ability to explore outer space took a huge leap of fascination around the world. The two powerful allies emerged during World War II as to begin a Cold War with each other that defined the twentieth century. The idea that the world will come to an end by a nuclear war based on previous events from World War II that can potentially one day happen again because of historical evidence from the Cold War that wiped out two major cities in Japan, scientific evidence of a secret nuclear weapon written in India’s ancient epics, and the production of radiation smoke that builds up over time can slowly kill humans. Zombies are dead corpse that is revived by a virus. The myth of zombies originated from Haiti in 1626 to 1800s, as an image of inhumanity where slaves were treated ruthlessly. In the Haitian religion, slaves believed that dying was a way for them to return to Guinea, where they are free from torture in the afterlife.
