Did you know that the Age of Exploration was one of the most important times in the history of world geography? Without explorers, the world would not be as developed as it is right now, which is why explorers should be celebrated and glorified in modern times. Explorers were great navigators, they developed technology for travelling, they have also spread, introduced, and traded food, animals, and resources as well as hugely contributed to the growth of capitalism. During the Age of Exploration, technology for travelling was not developed, but explorers were great navigators and came up with genius ideas to find their way through places.
The newsletter 'Getting our future back on the rails – slowly', published by the leader of the Grow Slow Garden Group, asserts the need and beneficial factors of transforming the abandoned railway yards that is a "shockingly neglected wasteland" into a "fresh, natural land". In a firm and eloquent tone, the writer conveys that they are not a "radical group of environmentalists" but just a group who is "proud to be contributing to a greener Australia". The emphasis on this positions the readers to believe that anybody can promote to a greener and better Australia. Throughout the newsletter the writer's main contention is clear.
Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, expressed the philosophy that drove 19 th -century US territorial expansion. Manifest Destiny held that the United States was destined – by God, its advocates believed – to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent. The Manifest Destiny was known as the “sea to shining sea.” It was a belief that the US should own all territory between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The westward expansion of the United States during the 19 th -century was not limited to North America, but rather included an ongoing push to establish a stronger US presence in and across the Pacific Ocean.

Manifest Destiny, a policy that encouraged americans to spread from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans. There were two perspectives of Manifest Destiny which was either seen as an opportunity to becoming greater or a white man’s greed. Americans were quite fond of themselves, they believed that it was their “destiny” to spread their nation across the globe, that this policy will benefit both sides. Natives were forced to follow under America’s authority. Without full consent they were removed from their homelands to only fulfill selfish idea made from greed.
The only problem is that it may not be factual (Wiltz,

During the talk by Dr. David Galbraith, several global questions were raised. The most prominent one that came to my mind during the talk was how we are going to survive on a planet that we cannot leave, yet one that we have depleted our natural resources by 98.5%. Galbraith discusses how we survive on Earth because of the presence of our atmosphere and internal magnetic field; we are unique because we have yet to encounter another planet that has an atmosphere like we do. Because our atmosphere is protecting us from cosmic rays and radiation, and we have yet to find a way to substantially protect ourselves outside of our atmosphere, we are stuck on our current planet. As Galbraith discussed during his talk and mentioned above, we have depleted
Moonport USA was an excellent success at advancing our knowledge and determination to get to space. Cape Canaveral, Florida, would forever hold the future of technology, engineering, and science in our country. The film(s) titled “Florida: Moonport USA” would show and describe the history of the port that would change the state of Florida and our country for many years that followed. The Moonport USA effected Florida in many ways. The growth, economy, and culture of Florida would never be the same.
In the early 2000 Al Gore once said, “The planet is in distress and all the attention is on Paris Hilton.” In the same theme, Michael Pollan writes, “Why Bother?”, an article from The New York Times Magazine published in 2008 telling Americans they are too consumed with themselves and maintain a “cheap-energy mind”. And here, in 2016 climate change is seriously happening and the nation is still not addressing the gravity of the issue and why we should indeed bother to make changes. It is time that this nation discerns that climate change is real and it is happening as we speak. Climate change is a threat to each and every one of us and imperative to the survival of life on this planet.

“The Creation is disappearing so quickly.” These are words spoken by Edward O. Wilson in an interview on NPR’s Talk of the Nation radio show, and they are very much true. Current human activities are removing ecosystems and extinguishing species, if we continue to the end of the century, projections show that we could have lost or be right on the edge of losing about half the known species of plants and animals by then. Yet with these facts present, why is no one taking action? The world is dying and it is for the most part all due to human action.
The oceans are likely to be of great help. With food, energy, and attacks on global warming the ocean has hit a grand slam. That leaves space feeling quite inadequate compared to the deep
