Crop circles are have been a mystery for a very long time and multiple movies and documentaries have been made by famous directors about this phenomenon. The most famous movie about this unique phenomenon starred Mel Gibson and was called Signs. Crop circles are designs that have been found in fields. A crop circle could be anything from a regular circle to a very challenging design called a pictogram. People believe that it could be anything from just pranks to aliens to a natural disaster. The possibilities are endless and people get very suspicious because it has not been solved. Multiple sightings of crop circles have been discovered over the years. In August of 2012, a ring of plants formed in a large pasture in Alberta, Canada.
One theory says that crop circles are created by vortices. This means that circling air flattens crops into the certain design. Dr. Terence Meaden believes of his theory called the Plasma Vortex Theory which is where spinning dust particles in the air glow which is the reason people see lights at the sites of crop circles. Aircrafts could also cause crop circles. Downdrafts of the aircrafts and helicopters can push the crops in the fields into designs like the crop circles. One of the final explanations of the crop circles could be electromagnetic radiation. Magnetic fields have been found inside crop circles and people have felt tingling in their body near crop circles. Dr. William Levengood says that crops in the crop circles were damaged like one in a
The Gaia theory says that Earth is an intellectual matter that uses these crop circles to communicate with the humans. Colin Andrews believes that this theory is very logical because it is Earth’s attempt to refocus us back on earth. Before the technological age, people were very focus on the environment, but now this generation is too technologically focused. The Ley Line theory relates crop circles to famous monuments like Stonehenge. People believe there is stored energy underneath the Earth’s surface which made these unique crop circles. It is very similar to what people believe started many of the ancient landmarks. It is said to be helpful in curing sickness and disease, production, and
“Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday conveys the inhumane, gory lynchings of African-Americans in the American South, and how this highly unnatural act had entrenched itself into the society and culture of the South, almost as if it were an agricultural crop. Although the song did not originate from Holiday, her first performance of it in 1939 in New York City and successive recording of the song became highly popular for their emotional power (“Strange fruit,” 2017). The lyrics in the song highlight the contrast between the natural beauty and apparent sophistication of the agricultural South with the brutal violence of lynchings. Holiday communicates these rather disturbing lyrics through a peculiarly serene vocal delivery, accompanied by a hymn-like
Agnosia is a sickness that could happen when the patient have damage in certain area of the brain. Agnosia is the conscious inability to identify sensory stimuli not due to deficits in sensory, verbal, or cognitive abilities. (Pinel, 2007). There are many different form of Agnosia even though popular cases base on to memory and visual perception. There are many cases of Agnosia cause by different cortial area impacted.
I watched the movie called Bitter Seeds in my environmental class. The movie talked about the problems in India about farming. The movie also talked about the suicide rate, how high it is compared to our country. It said that every 30 minutes, a farmer commits suicide. In India, the economy is not that great so they went with the seeds that were more expensive. The culture is completely different from ours, they celebrate Pola, which is the bull festival, they do rituals when something bad is happening. Most of the seeds were rotting and they were not getting enough water, which resulted in the seeds not germinating, eventually the plants died out and the farmers killed themselves. The people who were selling the seeds wanted more money than what it really should have cost. Banks rarely loan people any money, they had to go to a Loan shark. Loan sharks were basically thugs because they would charge the people 7% to 10% interest per month to grow seven acres. I think Indian farmers should be able to get loans from the bank at a higher percentage rate so they won't have to go to loan sharks and get ripped off.
There are multiple ways to help reduce the polluting effects of factory farming. People can make a difference by simply avoiding factory farmed products, reducing their animal product intake, or by going either pescetarian, vegetarian, or vegan. Those concerned with the polluting effects of factory farming can also make a difference by encouraging others to eat less animal products, raising awareness towards animal and worker conditions in factory farms, supporting farm animal sanctuaries, and signing petitions to end factory farming. It is important for people to become involved in reducing the amount of pollution caused by factory farming.

When the Great Pyramids at Giza were built, the Egyptians had not invented the wheel yet, but the limestone blocks that they grudgingly transported, in an effort to build pyramids, weighed about 2 tons each. If all of the stone from the pyramids was cut into one foot, square blocks, it would extend two thirds of the way around the earth. No human life forms could have possibly erected these structures using that much limestone, because they did not have the technology to work in such scale. Only aliens, with more advanced mechanical and mental abilities, could have designed and ...
He describes the Allegory of the Cave as, “Imagine human beings living in an underground, cavelike dwelling, with an entrance a long way up, which is both open to the light and as wide as the cave itself” (514a). From his brief description of the cave we can see that this sets the foundation to explaining the Divided Line through the tale. The human beings living in an underground cave like dwelling suggest the ignorance one experiences as explained in the Divided Line, the long entrance hints at the Divided Lines Hierarchy steps, and the light at the end of the cave would be knowledge as explained in the Divided Line.
The Stonehenge at Salisbury Plains has been shrouded in mystery even before the time of Christ, but the truth of the matter is that nobody truly knows how this monument came to be. The origins of this monument range from logical theories to totally far fetched science fiction and middle age theories. This site has been around for over 4 millennia, but before the stones were even erected or on British land, it was used as a burial site. Then comes the weird theories, like Merlin from the King Arthur tales using his powers to move all of the stones into their formation or extraterrestrials coming down from outer space and giving knowledge to the ancient people in the area. Aside from these theories that lack any form of logical reasoning, the most widely accepted theory is that the monument was created as a religious shrine for the Druids of the area.
Adopting the idea of permaculture while seems complicated, can be relatively easy, the essential principle that needs to be considered is working with nature rather than against it. Three ways in which you as an individual can apply permaculture in your everyday life is, growing your own food, minimizing waste and water conservation. Growing your own food can be as simple as having a veggie garden or a fruit tree and they are not only affordable but also provide nutritional produce that is sustainably ethical and safe. Food wastage is an ever-growing issue in society today but one that is frequently ignored and overlooked, it is estimated that Australians waste 4,000,000 tonnes of food each year. Ways that you can prevent food waste within
The Gaia Hypothesis is a metaphor in itself that helps describe the planet as a living organism; a metaphor for the Earth as seen as a single physiological system. Lovelock describes the planetary ecosystem as alive because it behaves like a living organism by regulating its temperature and chemistry at a constant state favorable for life to develop.

Around the late 19th century displeasurable and unfair actions have been acted toward farmers, working men, and minorities. The Industrialist took advantage of their lack of power, and bribed government officials and pursed corruption actions towards laborers. However, the loudest voice of the group was the Agrarian workers and American Farmers. Ask yourself, was the farmers outcry's pure pointless complaints towards Industrialist malicious actions or potential abuse that impedes an unbalanced industrialized society? Farmers were falling into unprofitable production and debt using all the profit innovating machines the government encouraged them to use. Foreign products led to unprofitable life, and farmers fell into a depression. Many parties were formed to speak what was on their mind, one of the main parties includes the populist party, fighting for what should be truthfully theirs.
The first people that started to depend on farming for food were in Israel and Jordan in about 80000 B.C.. Farming became popular because people no longer had to rely on just searching for food to get their food. In about 3000 B.C. Countries such as Egypt and Mesopotamia started to develop large scale irrigation systems and oxen drawn plows. In about 500 B.C. the Romans started to realize that the soil needed certain nutrients in order to bare plants. They also realized that if they left the soil for a year with no plants, these important nutrients would replenish. So they started to leave half of a field fallow (unplanted). They then discovered that they could use legumes, or pulses to restore these vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, to the soil and this started the process known as rotating crops. They would plant half the field one year with a legume...
... a soybean field in order to make miso, which is a popular food item in Japan. Many paddy fields are damaged when tsunamis hit and it takes a long time for the field to be productive again. So that’s why many people are changing the function of their fields.
