What does Rachel Carson mean when she suggests that man has acquired significant power of alter the nature of his world

English

Xelga [282]3 years ago

She meant that the human race has acquired the ability to alter
the nature of the Earth.

Examples of a few neat things that we have the power to do:

-- Spread diseases to other continents from where they are.

-- Hunt and kill entire species of animals to extinction.

-- Eradicate the habitat of whole species so that they can't survive.

-- Poison the air and water over an area large enough so that
entire species become extinct.

-- Poison the air well enough so that species of vegetation ...
plants and trees ... are wiped out.

-- Extract so many members of a marine species from the ocean
that the entire population dies, along with other different species
that we're not even interested in but need the species that we
wiped out, in order for THEM to live.

-- Add enough stuff to Earth's atmosphere to change the climate
distribution on the planet, move the hot and cold places around,
move the wet and dry places around, and force the migration of
almost every living thing on Earth ... wiping many of them out.

It took us a while to learn how to do these things, but we are so smart
that we were able to stick to it until we succeeded.

By the way ... you really ought to go back and read this answer again, and
in the places where I wrote 'species', remember that human beings (us)
are one of the Earth's species.

A good sense of contentment means that you work hard throughout your life, leaving little time for rest and play.
Kobotan [32]
<span>The good sense of contentment does not mean that you have spent too much time working, leaving very little amount of time for rest and play. Thus, the answer to this item is false. A good sense of contentment is that we work hard and still balancing the time for other things in order to enjoy life. </span>

"Someone who is a genius"<br> Paragraph abt someone who is genius?
Aneli [31]

Answer: The word genius can be used to describe a person, an idea or an invention.  As a person, a genius is one that stands out from a crowd and tackles the most difficult of problems in the simplest of ways.  A genius is not only very clever, but instinct allows them to think outside the box.  The term genius is often associated with names such as Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, JS Bach, William Blake, and Socrates.  These are just a few of history’s greatest thinkers who helped shape society with their innovative ideas. The universal definition of a “genius” is “one who has an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music, etc.’  Genius is also defined as ‘a person having…show more content…

Each kind of genius is worlds apart.  How a genius is molded from birth to until his death makes him distinct from others.  Values, ideals, and beliefs vary from one mastermind to the next, but the genius in them is prominent.

Albert Einstein once exclaimed "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."  The world’s greatest geniuses are famous for a profound, open minded sense of curiosity.  Curiosity is a personality trait often found in geniuses.  This curiosity is usually the key element behind the motivation of a genius.  “This proclivity towards curiosity or inquisitiveness may explain the breadth of interests and preference for complexity displayed by creative individuals” (Simonton 49).  The focus of a true genius, whether in sciences, arts, or businesses, is finding new, creative and effective ways to do things.  Curiosity sparks inspiration and creativity.  A genius has the ability to do more than just memorize and recite existing information and ideas.  They can discover, create, or invent new ideas within their particular area of interest
