The Significance of the Earth in The Good Earth - The Significance of the Earth in The Good Earth "And O-lan in the house was not idle. With her own hands she lashed the mats to the rafters and took earth from the fields and mixed it with water and mended the walls of the house, and she built again the oven and filled the holes in the floor that the rain had washed." There can be no doubt that the symbol of earth in Buck's novel, The Good Earth, is one so potent that it permeates and binds the entire tale. It is presented repeatedly throughout the novel, either through gentle allusion or outright statement.... [tags: The Good Earth] 451 words

A Better Earth - The patient's condition is serious. Symptoms are multiple. His health is noxious. He has a fever, higher than ever before. Efforts to bring it down are not working. Poison has been found in body fluids. When symptoms are treated in one area, more pop up in other areas. If this were a usual patient, doctors would be inclined to declare the multiple sicknesses as chronic and terminal. Not knowing what else to do, they would just take steps to make the patient as comfortable as possible until the end came.... [tags: Earth Science] 4699 words

Motion of the Earth - The Earth spins around an axis. The Earth takes (a bit more than) one day to go around once. This axis is pointing off somewhere in space. This axis (mostly) doesn’t move. At the same time, the Earth is orbiting the Sun. It takes (a bit more than) one year to go around once. The plane of the Earth’s orbit (mostly) doesn’t move. The spin axis of the Earth’s daily rotation is not perpendicular to the plane of the Earth’s orbit.It is tilted (approximately) 23.4 degrees. The angle of tilt (mostly) doesn’t change....

    Phy101 14995 Essay2 3Apap

    According to the law of conservation of angular momentum if there is no unbalanced external torque acting on a rotating system, then the angular momentum of that system remains constant. This means that with no net change in external torque, the product of rotational inertia and rotational velocity at one time will be the same as at any other time. If the polar ice caps where to melt and the depth of the world’s oceans increased by 30m the mass of the polar ice caps would no longer be at the earth’s axis (poles) but more evenly distributed throughout globe. When the mass moves away from the axis of the earth (or any spinning object) the conservation of angular momentum causes the earths rotating to slow down thus days would be longer. How long it would be increased can be determined by using the equation for calculating angular momentum ? = (4/5?)?2 where r is the radius of the sphere(the radius of the earth is currently 6,367,500m but would be increased to 6367530m if the polar ice caps melting caused sea levels to rise 30m), T equals the length of a day which is approximately 86400 seconds. Using these numbers the new length of a day would be calculated by multiplying 63675302 (the estimated new radius of earth after the melting of the polar ice caps) by 86400 (approximate length of current earth day in seconds) and dividing this number by 63675002 (the current radius of the earth) which equals 86400.8 an increase in the length of the day by 0.8 seconds.…

    4 Elements the Wars

    Earth is said to be the feminine element. It is perceived to be nurturing, stable, and full of endurance. The planet itself is a ball of life in which one is able to see the circle of life take place: birth, life, death and even rebirth. Before the war, the element of earth plays a part in Robert’s mourning of his sister. It helps encourage a new life. “Rowena was buried in the morning. Under the trees in frozen earth they had to split with axes.” (Findley 18) It was Rowena’s burial beneath the earth that helped Robert gain perspective and come to the realization that he had a new life ahead of him, one without Rowena. During Robert’s time serving in the army, the element that once impelled him to move on with his life transitioned to become a symbol of death. One of the most evident examples of this representation is the moment Robert was stuck in the ground. “Suddenly, his right foot went down. All the way down to the knee through the earth. Dear Jesus- he was going to drown.” (Findley 85) The earth was now pulling Robert down, dragging him towards death.…

    Iatrogenic Effects of Current Medical Systems

    The layout Ivan Illich is making in the article called, “Medical Nemesis,” is focused on medical practices and how iatrogenic effects are caused by the diagnosis and manner of treatment by a physician. Throughout the years, iatrogenic effects have caused more suffering, “Than all accidents from traffic or industry.”(Illich) The effects listed in the article include: “Infection, depression, dysfunction, disability, and their specific diseases which fall under the iatrogenic effects category.”(Illich) In the article, Illich is stating an argument; most of the suffering caused in modern society is man-made. When trying to prolong life, it is almost like cheating death. History is a record of how the meaning of the word “Life” has evolved. Through the years, many treatments and practices of modern medicine have changed. A then, life threatening illness; is today a commonly treated infection. Illich’s argument is then stated in the way medical practice and industrialization have created negative effects on human life.…

    Detox

    A method must be used to help humans’ live healthier lives. Hospitals, clinics, and health professionals are primary sectors who we often reason with when dealing with health; however, to further the life of human beings we must be more cautious to the world around us. The earth is distributes lesser gains. Each year the U.S. releases four billion pounds of toxins into our environment contaminating the air, water, soil, plants, animals, and humans (Sellman, 2009). Our resources are diminishing and changing by the minute. As the world changes our environment does too. Everything that used ours is now altered. Statistics show that the earth is producing more deprived resources than ever (Gonzales, 2009). Today, 80,000 toxins are in the airs that were not present in 1950 (Ketteler, 2011). The food we eat now is about ten times less nutritional than it was (Trudeau, p. 147). Our general concern should be our overall health as human being. The pollution of planet earth has a severe impact on our health (Sellman, 2009). We are exposed to toxins every day; we consume several hundreds of toxins in each breath (Trudeau, p. 56). We are all toxic. We need to eliminate toxins. We all need to improve our body’s ability to metabolize these toxins, however, with the abundance of chemicals in the human body our organs cannot properly function (Trudeau, p. 278). In order to achieve a healthier lifestyle we must cleanse our bodies and practice in detoxing methods. We have to clean out toxins that are raised in the human body.…
