The lazy boy

Nature has been around since the beginning of all time. Nature has even been here since long before the dinosaurs. People have been brought up and have lived off of nature and its nourishments. Nature is a wonderful yet dangerous thing. It can be as gentle as a breeze on a warm summer day or as deadly and ferocious as a violent hurricane in a populated city. Although man has lived through many tragic and deadly natural disasters, man has always been trying to grasp a hold of and capture a victory over anything that is disturbing.

But, Darwin was not aware of the future capabilities that man will obtain. Humans, because of their unique abilities, control nature rather than are controlled by nature due to new technology, demand for space, and capitalism.

Whether the dominance comes from the ability to act without concern for nature, or to build on an endangered animal’s habitat; human’s new technologies are above nature. The natural world in the 20th century is changing dramatically. In the article “Letter to President Pierce, 1855” Chief Seattle talks about the white man and the damage he has done to the land without concern for it.
