Science Final

Claim w/Evidence

If you want things to stay modern, then it's quite obvious that we'd need these kind of materials. On the other hand, is mining essential for L I F E, no not at all. Most of our buildings are made out of metals and minerals, same goes for our electronics, cars, planes, bicycles. These basic materials are what makes modern life modern, we wouldn't however need it to survive.

Connections

A good way of thinking of this is thinking of it as if it's a sport. Do you need to draft new people to win? Probably. You don't have to draft new players to play though, just like how we don't need to mine to live, but to stay current and on top of things, we do have to keep mining all of the resources that we use to make technology and to make buildings.

Connection:

Our place in the universe is very similar to where a common person takes place in society. If you reach for the stars and push limits that have been seen as unbreakable than you may be able to make yourself know but hundreds, maybe even thousands or millions of other beings. With our universe, if there is life than our goal must be to find it, and to find other habitable planets and inhabit them, but first we must reach for the stars and soar to the heavens.

Claim w/Evidence:

Humans do so much to the environment that in more ways than one you can remark that they sometimes make or break an environment. The four spheres of Earth all work together to make Earth the wonderful place that it is, biosphere being one of them. Examples of feedback recorded everywhere in the ecosystems. Humans and the environment go hand in hand and we should fix environment. Throughout the life of Earth the climate has changed drastically over time, but as of recent it has been rising faster than ever.

Connection:

Humans affecting Earth's systems is just like how America was founded, because essentially that's what happened. There were indians in the soon to be thirteen colonies, and more civilized beings came and took control. We do that with more and more systems and ecosystems every day. We don't have to, but we impose more and more, affecting more and more, sometimes for the good, sometimes it's not for good purposes. That depends on who you ask.

Claim w/Evidence

Over billions of years the Earth has gone from the size of a small particle, to the size it is today, and maybe even bigger than today in the past. We can find the oldest rocks on Earth using stratigraphy, we now know that tectonic plates are driven by convection. The Earth has always been the Earth, just in many different forms and technically is still constantly changing as the days go by.

Connection

The Earth forming is like many adolescents as they grow older. We constantly are growing and changing in more ways than one. Some are getting smarter, others stronger, others wider, but we are all changing in the ways that we think constantly forever until we take our last breath. That's where we relate to the Earth, it will be moving and changing until it gets destroyed. Another cool way of looking at it is that conflicts help people form as well, just like when the moon formed, it did also assist in the formation of Earth. People say that they don't like change, when everything is changing always.
