White Picket Fence Society

Trees Planting trees in metropolitan areas offer several benefits. The greenery adds beauty to the area as the plants absorb carbon dioxide, toxins and odors. The air is cleaner and pollution is less. Plants also release oxygen that humans need for breathing. The oxygen reduces the greenhouse effect that contributes to global warming. Trees also

The suburban life is a dream which people of all economic backgrounds sought. Although many families were not able to realize the ideal white picket fence suburb experience which one often imagines when speaking of the suburbs, they still created a suburb of their own. The desire for a suburban home to call their own was largely due to the notion that a home provided a sense of security; it was safety net (Nicolaides and Wiese 2006:213). This safety net could not be obtained in the central city because people were simply not able to buy an apartment or condominium and instead were simply forced to rent. Moving to the suburbs and purchasing a home was seen as a good investment, and people of all races wanted in on this investment.

True bravery is when you’re aware that the odds are against you, however, you have the ability to persevere through it. Even though you don’t want to complete the task ahead of you, an inner force brings you the motivation to do it. Sincere courageousness doesn’t always entail violence; in fact, courage comes from the choices made within that affect yourself or those around you. The outcome may not always be to your advantage, but

Deforestation Since the beginning of time, every single living organism on this planet has come to depend on one important thing, oxygen. One of the main sources of this life necessity is our trees. Trees are known to filter the air of many harmful pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide, making the

Several scholars agreed that Fences is about the hardships that Troy Maxson face because of racial discrimination. Fred Mazelis mentions that before the mass civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 60s, racism and discrimination were a part of the world. Troy came to Pittsburgh during his teenage years along the Great Migration of African-Americans from the South (). Being in prison gave him opportunities to try new things in his spare time. Which resulted in him becoming a professional baseball player among the black community. He had promised being one of the top players in the Negro League, but because of racism, he was not allowed to join the Major Leagues.

I will start by looking at the poem called Tree in the City by Thomas Shapcott and what is revealed about suburban life by it. Initially, the poem appears to be depicting a positive outlook on suburban life, and its integration with nature, and having not lost the connection to it that children have had for years. While remaining ambiguous in its ideas, upon closer inspection, there are numerous occasions where the poet is insinuating how nature is fading out as the buildings of urban life take over. As can be seen here (the screen) by the highlighted words, the poem focuses on the restrictions and changes that urban life has made to nature, as well as how important this fading element is. For example, “small span” refers to how the city branches of

“People who will not sustain trees, will soon live in a world that cannot sustain people”(Bryce Nelson). Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Deforestation has overtime become a leading environmental problem in the U.S. It is estimated that at the beginning of the european settlement, in 1630, the area of forest was 423 million hectares. By 1907, the area had declined to 307 million, according to,”U.S forest facts and historical trends”. Deforestation is caused and will affect the human who call the U.S home. Issues with the environment such as global warming, the thinning of the ozone, and deforestation all contribute to critical problems in the U.S. deforestation highly

The sociological issue depicted in the video The New Ghettos of America is deviance. This is any belief, characteristic or action that members of a societal group consider a violation of group norms and that the person who violated these norms will be punished. One example of deviance from the video is the increase in crime in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. There are two cops in the video that talk about having to take twenty-four hour shifts most of the week to at most keep the crime under control because they haven’t even made a dent in solving the problems with drug and gang violence crime. Another example is the woman in Los Angeles who lost her son because gang members came into the house and shot him in his bed while he was unarmed.

Racial segregation can lead to unpredictable circumstances and complications in your family. Troy Maxon was the protagonist in the book called Fences . In this book Troy uses baseball to show his way of love and responsibilities of his family. Troy had a amazing baseball career of hitting balls

If we look at the Native American civilizations they were very advanced in nature sciences, philosophy and we can see sustainable practices in every aspect of life. Unlike theirs we do not let philosophy judge how our society works and only a small few practice sustainable actions. I would not go as far as calling cutting down trees murder but I do think a problem in our society is taking too much and this causes many environmental hazards. Vast amounts of toxic materials are unearthed and left to wreak havoc on the environment they have been left in, entire forests are cut down for whatever reasons and tossed into a cycle that has no return for the ecosystem. The ideas of sustainability and animacy have been around for centuries, so it is only a matter of time before we come to accept and practice them once

Oh, you don't know too much about trees, do you? Well let me tell you that trees are amazing, and I mean, we literally breathe the air they are creating, and they clean up our pollution, our carbon, store and purify water, give us medicine that cures ours diseases and food that feeds us.

Trees represent life because they aren’t simple, trees are large and strong, their roots are in the ground and its leaves sway in the sky. At first, Melinda’s life was as solid as the tallest tree in the world, the Hyperion. “This was the girl who suffered though Brownies with me, who

For example, ours grew too big. Em’s is too small. And some of them have diseases…” (Condie 252). These trees pose a threat to the Society for they do not conform to their rules and this quote reflects this very notion in many instances throughout the novel. The narrator explains, “You’ve never seen me in anything but brown or black…Brown plainclothes. Black swimwear” (Condie 274). All citizens must comply with the rules and wear the colour clothes that have been assigned to their class. All citizens are only allowed to carry one artifact as well, “Though citizens of the Society are allowed one artifact each, they are hard to come by” (Condie 5). While it seems like an attempt to maintain societal equality, it really isn’t in the best interest of the citizens but rather the authorities in power. It is actually how the Society demeans civilians, stripping them of personal freedoms, rights, and choices. For this reason, the trees in this scenario are different sizes and some have diseases, similar to how the residents are divided by job statuses such as nutrition specialists and Officials, as well as societal classes such as Aberration and Anomalies. Despite these differences, all inhabitants have choices made for them; when and if they will be Matched, what they will eat, and when they will

Photosynthesis Literacy Task People should buy fake trees instead of going to cut down a real one. Plants go through photosynthesis and give off oxygen. They also give us fruit and vegetables (food). Plants also help us making new seeds that will create new plants for the future. Real

The Wilderness Society’s Governing Council states that “No other ecosystem in the world can store as much carbon as do these forests, and it’s a capacity they have not yet begun to reach” (Bert5). Trees are very important to all of the living species. The cutting down of the trees is now nearly 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the
