Intensive Agriculture Impact on Earth

The adoption of agriculture and the domestication of animals it is believed to have been one of the most significant revolution in the human culture; however, nowadays, the effects of intensive agriculture is jeopardizing nature and causing great losses of species. Soil exhaustion, disruption of water supplies, deforestation and urbanization are just a few of the problems that came along with agriculture. The direct result of these is a systematic destruction of ecosystems. Although solutions may seem elusive, it is important to make some attempts to try to stop agriculture destructive effects.

One of the problems that come with agriculture is soil exhaustion. As demands for products are growing, and as a result of the climate change and global warming, farmers tend to overuse their lands. Intensive cultivation leaves the soil without nutrients and it looses its fertility. The use of pesticides also adds to the problem. Their chemicals help to the erosion of the soil and pollution of the water. The government should control the distribution of more benign pesticides and promote rotation of the fields used for crops and grazing to prevent the exhaustion of the soil.

Just as importantly, another problem connected with intensive agriculture is the disruption of water supply. This is also connected with deforestation and urbanization. After a land has been drain of its resources, agricultures need to move to another area to continue their production. This leads to deforestation of new areas to provide them land for growing and for living. Deforestation causes destruction of ecosystems which results in the lost of animals' habitats, food and water supply. Similarly, water needs to be channelized in the direction of their crops and farmers houses. This causes the killing of aquatic ecosystems and droughts. One possible answer to this problem could be that water supply should strictly be control by the proper authorities in order to prevent the extermination of natural habitats. Strategies should also be implemented to help water be distributed without damaging the ecosystems and to remain free from pesticides. Channelization of water should be limited.

In conclusion, it is a fact that we depend on agriculture, but it is also worthwhile to understand what this entails for. Knowing the problem, people can help to undermine it. Sadly, the solutions to those problems are clearly in hands of political decisions and they seem to remain resilient to environmental policies changes.

Writing Feedback / a comparison and contrast from two tales from the canterbury tales [4]

A Comparison and Contrast between The Miller and The Merchant's Tales

By Lorena Costilla

need some feedback on my essay. So far i have this could you help me, please?

When comparing these two stories from the Canterbury tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the fabliau is the first to come out to our mind. Both stories are intended to please the lower classes and to criticize marriage and church in the fourteen century. Chaucer uses the drunken miller to represent the lower classes and their taste for indecent stories. On the other hand, the merchant is meant to criticize married life, as the character himself hates every minute he has spent with his wife. All in all, both tales share some basic similarities related with the fabliau, but, at the same time, it is their differences, which appeals more to the reader attention.

To begin with, the tale narrated by the miller is about John, an old carpenter, who is married to an eighteen-year-old girl named Allison. This carpenter is portrayed as a rich ignorant person of advanced age who feared to be cuckolded similar to the fabliau common theme. Allison is depicted through a physical description of her body, the same as a material object She is beautiful and wild. To correspond to the fabliau form, there is also Nicholas, the young astronomy student, which talent is to make love and wants to have sex with Allison. There is a four character in this story, Absolon, the clerk. Chaucer uses him to criticize church corruption, because he likes to give presents to young beautiful girls and song love songs to Allison.

The story develops when Nicholas convinces Allison to plot against her husband in order that they can have sex. The carpenter is convinced that a flood is coming and that if he wants to be safe he must sleep separated from his wife in hanging tubs. When the night of the plan comes, Allison and Nicholas go down together and have sex after John has fallen asleep. Then, Absolon, who is also infatuated with Allison ask her for a kiss and receives a fart in his face as reward. Being humiliated, Absolon takes revenge by burning Allison's bottom; however, it is the bottom of Nicholas that is burned. The carpenter hears Nicholas' screams and believes is the flood. But he realized of the events and is humiliated in front of his neighbors. He has been cuckolded. It is by this final scene that the fabliau is complete. From the teller to the tale, from the low class miller to the indecent and humorous story, Chaucer's fabliau shows not only an excellent handling of this style of writing and his idea of marriage in those days, but also his dissatisfaction with corrupted church members and there doing.

Unlike The Miller's, the merchant is not intended to tale a humorous story, but a warning to those who desire to marriage. Following the style of fabliau and similar to The Miller's Tale, the main character is an old rich man. However, his social class is different, he is a knight. Consequently, we are presented with a well-learned man. His name is January. In contrast to the carpenter from the miller's, the knight is not marry, but he desire to be so. May is the young wife under twenty and she is the same in most aspect to Allison, the carpenter's wife. She is chosen because of her tender and voluptuous body. The third character is the young squire Damian who is unhappy with wedding. As against the miller's fabliau, The Merchant's Tale has more characters, like Placebo and Justinus, the god Pluto and goddess Proserpine his wife. These minor characters give their views with exemplifications of the Bible or of philosophy on marriage. Placebo opinion is supporting the decision of marriage and uses Solomon words to support the decision, but only because was decide by his Lord January:'Do all things by advice... and then you'll have no reason to repent'(p381), whereas Justinus is against marriage and supported his opinion with Seneca philosophy:'it's always better to think things twice'. Pluto and Proserpine discuss about man and woman roles and virtues. They contribute with the reasons the merchant gives about getting married or not, but he does not make fun of his characters as expected.

The merchant's tale develops in similar way to the Miller's. The younger wife plots with the squire against January for meeting in the garden and have sex. However, The gods see these actions and interfere, the God Pluto allowed the blind January to recover his view to see his treacherous wife in action. In opposed to this, Proserpine gives the wife the power of word to convince January that he is mistaken. Finally, with this end, the merchant's tale differs from the miller's tale in the fact that is not a humorous tale, just indecent. In Miller's, Allison is treacherous and certainly not forgiven, the fool John is humiliated in front of the neighbors for trusted in the premonition that Nicholas give, and Nicholas himself ends in pain. Whereas, May gets January continues trusting in her and Damian has the opportunity to continue plotting to have sex with the clever May. This end shows that some truth of the high social class, anyone receives a punishment for their actions nor public humiliation.

Concluding, by comparing these two tales of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, we see that he mastered both the humorous fabliau style as well in the less humorous but alike indecent merchant's tale and by the stricken differences between the two of them he represented the conventions of the time.

Please any help is welcome

Essays / Your opinion on this paragraph (literature class) [2]

Hi my name is Lorena
i would like your opinion on this paragraph which a wrote for the literature class
pleaseeeee i need feedback
assigment:
The wanderer laments the harshness of the world in which he lives. He viewed both human beigns and nature as cruel. In a paragraph (150 words) agree or disagree with the wanderer's view of the world, and satate your reasons for dong so.

The wanderer views of cruelty on both world and human beings is understandable to a man in his current situation. However, i disagree with the idea of living a life in sorrow and hatress towards everything that exist. His fatalistic view of inexorable fate and how it controlls the world is against my beliefs. Furthermore,the capacity of every human being to overcome conflicts and adversity in every day life is what makes him strong. Similarly, the capacity of forgiveness and be mercyful is what distinguish us from animals. Finally, dead is part of life as destruction and agression are parts of humans being's nature, so i have a realistic point of view. I believe on facts, actions and the oportunity to change, to reborn, and there is no reason to live lamenting for the past or to be defeated by fate.
