Slow Down

On this earth we have so many problems. There is a leak in the ozone layer, we are running out of oxygen, there is not going to be any more clean water soon, et cetera.

Some of us truly care about these problems, they want to fix them so the human race can go on living. The human race honestly does not deserve to live on. There is a time when all must die, when all will perish, shrivel up, terminate. Soon it will be our time. It is nature. Even though we have twisted nature and killed what should be does not mean that everything that should be will be twisted to our likings. It is our entire fault that there is a hole in the ozone layer, it is primarily our fault that there is limited amounts of clean air and water to consume. It should just have been the plight of the human race that desisted, but alas, being the selfish and ignorant fools we are, we bring down most of the living creatures today with us… unless we can evolve extremely quickly in a very short amount of time (fifty years) to not need so much water, to be able to breathe dirtied air, to find a way to exist without all of our technology and 'smart' ways of living. These 'smart' things are actually quite dumb. We only believe that they are smart because they help us get along more efficiently with our meek little lives. Things that 'help' in the beginning can kill us all later on.

Evidence of this: just look around today! Millions of creatures are dieing because of what our 'smart' gadgets are doing. Don't get me wrong-- I believe that they eventually would die too, but they are dieing FASTER because of what we are doing. They eventually would have evolved to live with our ways--that's what nature does-- but alas, we are moving forward to fast. I love technology and the somewhat simpler live as much as the next person, but we need to learn to s l o w d o w n. To learn how to take things slowly may be the best advancement of humankind ever. Only until we learn this lesson will we be able to exist. Right now, the odds are quite slim that we will live and prosper. We need to learn that there is no eternity.

  • The Fence of Economy in Mario Vargas Llosa's Essay, The Fence of Lies

    555 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his essay, “The Fence of Lies,” Mario Vargas Llosa explores the potential consequences of building a wall across the Mexican-American border. He argues that, if built, the wall would be ineffective and a waste of resources. He proposes that the money allotted for the border wall be used instead to offer better job opportunities to Latin American citizens within their own borders. However, this proposal is unrealistic as it offers no real solutions to the economic problem of illegal immigration, nor is it an effective plan.

  • The Effects of Bad Cholesterol on the Body

    576 Words  | 2 Pages

    Almost everybody knows the negative effects bad cholesterol has on the body.

But not everybody fully appreciates the important role cholesterol plays in the body. This non-soluble, waxy substance is essential to aid in the building of membranes, the manufacture of bile, strengthening of cell walls and nerve sheaths, and in the production of hormones.

  • The Westernizer and Slavophile Disparity

    1219 Words  | 3 Pages

    The 19th century was a highly turbulent time in Russia’s history. Following the defeat of Napoleonic France, Western ideas and philosophy crept into Russian culture. As a result, Russian nobles split into two schools of thought. Slavophiles valued Russia’s traditional Orthodox Church, and did not want to Westernize and secede to the supposed superiority of Western culture. Conversely, Westernizers were a group of nobles who were against the traditional Russian values, and believed that the only way forward was to look to Europe. The Westernizers and the Slavophiles disagreed on a deep level about the direction Russia needed to take in the future. Russian thinkers were split between the Westernizer and the Slavophile point of view; both sides disagreed about the true nature of the country as well as its relation with the West.

  • Essay On Atherosclerosis

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many risk factors which can lead to the development of atherosclerosis. As can be expected, one of the risks factors for atherosclerosis is related to the abnormal level of blood lipids. The role of abnormal blood lipids in the development of atherosclerosis is providing the boost required for lipid to be transported to cells, as well as the production of reactive oxygen and free radicals (p.700). Moreover, the quantity of cholesterol carried by low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the arterial wall is critical in the development of atherosclerosis (McCance

  • The United States And Mexican Border

    1604 Words  | 4 Pages

    The United States and Mexican border has been the focus of an abundant amount of controversy the past decade in the States. The border wall, or border fence, is one of several barriers preventing illegal Mexican and South American immigrants from entering the United States. However, as statistics prove, immigration and drug smuggling has been on the rise the past few decades and our “three prong approach” is not confronting the escalating issue at hand. America’s border security is not resilient enough to deter these illegal immigrants and drug smugglers; our border wall must be fortified immediately.

  • Persuasive Essay On Environmental Pollution

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    Our planet is suffering from severe pollution, which ranges from contaminated air, water and soil as well. Humans are doing nothing to reduce the amount of pollution that is harming our earth. To understand how pollution works first you must understand that there are different types of pollution. The most common types of pollution and the ones that I will be focusing on which are the ones doing the most harm to our planet are air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination and littering. In order to help out and reduce pollution in our planet people need to be more aware of what these problems are and about the severe damages that they are causing our planet. Before industrialization really jumped into place and had an effect on large cities, nature had its own way of cleaning up its own air and itself. Wind scattered gases, rain washed many substances and the rest dissolved into the ground; while plants absorbed carbon dioxide and made it into oxygen. With big cities growing more every time and with more towns that were becoming more industrialized a lot of more waste began to be released into the environment and the atmosphere and soon this was more than enough for nature to handle. In order to stop and reduce pollution people need to understand the damage that it is causing our environment and our planet as well. People need to be more aware of how they can help out and do their part in reducing these problems that are causing our planet to die slowly with people not even noticing it.

    Many people assume that the environment is not in danger. They believe that as technology advances, we do not need to worry about renewing natural resources, recycling, and finding new ways to produce energy. They state that one person in the world does not make a large difference. In reality, each individual's contribution greatly affects our environment. Our natural resources are slowly disappearing, and we must work together to save them and the Earth from ruin.
