Mother Nature has its own unique presence in this world an almost indescribable sentiment to just be in the middle of the sea or in a forest to just sit there in awe of its beauty and aurora. Mother Nature has always been simply stronger than man and technology. Human nature always tends to dominate nature with technology and weapons. Mother Nature can heal, nurture and destroy. In the end it constantly comes out as the strongest. Mother Nature known as the mysterious secretive and most powerful against Human Nature is a recurrent theme throughout the movie Life of Pi and Avatar. In the film Life of Pi directed by Ang Lee and Avatar directed by James Cameron, film techniques such as lightening, different camera angles mise en scene and symbolism...show more content...
Pi finds difficulty in discovering himself in his own comfort zone amongst his family. After the shipwreck Pi is left alone on a lifeboat with a tiger. In this scene an aerial shot of his head overshadowed by the immense dark lightening of the ocean emphasises Pi's vulnerability. Pi is faced with many challenges, miraculous occurrences and great suffering along with Richard Parker. Pi's suffering gets revealed through the powerful storm scene where wide angle shots are used to portray his weakness in the vast wild deep sea. The storm gets stronger Pi see's the horror it's having on Richard Parker, as an extreme close up of his face shows extreme fear. As Pi screams 'God', arms spread in supplication: "Why are you scaring him? I've lost my family. I've lost everything. I surrender. What more do you want?" A wide angle is used so the audience can comprehend how terrified Pi feels as he is encountered by Mother Nature. Deep orchestral music accompanied by crashing waves which fades in to sadder choral voices gives a deep sense of Pi's suffering. The raft is swiped away which is a symbolism of Pi losing his haven material possession which kept him alive for so long. Richard Parker is a symbolism of Pi's primitive self braver. A high angle shot of Richard Parker is used to demonstrate that even a tiger is afraid in the face of Mother Nature. Pi and Richard Parker are seen bracing

As a new initiative to protect the earth , the concept of 'Earth Hour' has been started which is observed in the month of March every year in which people all over the world switch off the lights and devote in saving the environment. Demonstrations are carried out by the conservation groups at various levels in the form of seminars, debates and discussions by the eminent personalities.
Ways to save Earth
There are many ways through which we all can contribute in the protection and conservation of species and keeping the earth clean. We should also try to lessen the use of natural resources so that there will be enough resources for the coming generation as well.
We should find solutions to protect and save endangered species as they are essential part of our flora and fauna. Conservation groups should open more and more wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and biosphere reserves. For instance, there are very less number of tigers left on the earth. For this,'Aircel' has launched an awareness campaign to 'save tigers' in which they convince people to write articles and blogs to aware people across the world.
People should try to use public transportation instead of personal vehicles as it will help in reducing pollution to great extent. Lesser the Get

Mother Nature is unpredictable. We are vulnerable to her great wrath and how it can produce environmental disasters. In recent events, we have seen Hurricane Harvey not only destroy buildings, homes, and environmental structures. It has also claimed the irreplaceable....lives. The Governor of Florida articulated it best as he encouraged citizens to evacuate his state as Hurricane Irma approached. He pleaded and stated, "We can rebuilt homes, but we can't rebuilt your life." As society continues to research vulnerability to disaster, both for built systems and vulnerable populations. Society must also recognizes that factors such as wealth and poverty, race and ethnicity, gender and age; specifically, how they influence...show more content...
This could never have been an option for poverty stricken citizens.
"In contrast with homeowners, renters are dependent on their landlords to carry out activities that can reduce disaster vulnerabilities, such as making routine repairs and improvements, complying with building and safety codes, and carrying out specific disaster loss–reduction measures" (Tierney, 2006, pg. 113). Citizens that live in poverty main objectives are; paying the rent to have a rough over their heads and having food on the table. Their financial instabilities does not provide them the luxuries of providing additional improvising to reduce disaster vulnerabilities. Additionally, many can't even afford to evacuate; regardless, if the evacuation becomes mandated. Financially, they do not have the additional financial resource to "just get up and go". History has shown that a majority of this financial factors, are amongst specific races and ethnicity. Race
and Ethnicity
The United States has a diversity of race and ethnicity amongst its population. When some disasters are predicated such as a known Hurricane that is predicted to be a Category Five. Scientist can estimate the damages that it may cause, which will provide the advance notice for citizens to evacuate. Regardless of advance notices, many citizens within specific race and ethnicity, don't even speak the English language and don't understand the warnings. "Warnings cannot be issued for all types of disasters, but even Get
PROTECT OUR MOTHER NATURE
Repeatedly in history, conceptions of nature have served as ideological justifications for political theory. The most obvious example is the Hobbesian state of nature against which even the most oppressive government appears perfectly legitimate. Whereas in most cases of political theory,nature looks like an incompetent savage or unreliable tramp, some anarchist lines of argument instead offer versions of nature as infinite, loving, or otherwise better than the artifices to which it is implicitly opposed. Whether for or against nature, depictions of the natural world in political theory consider it in cultural units of meaning, a combination of icons and stereotypes that change not only our understanding of...show more content...
"Earth was but one of a myriad of stars floating in infinite space." The whole of the universe, with which nature remains implicitly identified, exceeds our abilities to measure, let alone comprehend – a myriad in infinity. Even in this cosmic understanding, that which is natural and surrounded is still itself huge. In an article in the first issue called "Try Love", the argument concludes, "Let us be broad and big. Let us not overlook vital things, because of the bulk of trifles confronting us." The natural is large; problems from artifice can be numerous, but each is only of trifling size – thousands of children surrounding one huge mother. Beyond being large to begin with, the maniacal focus in the publication on freeing nature and being freed into nature also revolves around a hope for future growth. As if 'we' were already failing to be "broad and big" enough, "The Tragedy of Women's Emancipation" proclaims: "Salvation lies in an energetic march onwards towards a brighter and clearer future. We are in need of unhampered growth out of old traditions and habits" as if nature and life in nature knew no limits. The image is of not just a sprouting weed, but a whole forest growing out of a street. This rhetorical strategy of associating the concept of nature so crucial to driving the arguments of the journal with hugeness seems strangely sympathetic with and to industrializing urges of the time. The conflict between

Nature! Mother Nature! So ancient, yet so fresh; so marvel, yet so novel! A deep connection between beauty and civilization! It is my universe, it is my life. From birth to death, Mother Nature cradles me in her bosom. She is always in my mind. She is so dear. Nature is my Teacher.
Beauty and simplicity! Nature that envelopes all of us is so grand, so loving! She gives us the grace, the beauty, the fluency to our life.

We all are accommodated to be her children. She is the creator, protector and promoter of our mortal life. Our purpose of life is worthy of her...show more content...
The book does not claim any scientific, medical, ethical or religious view, advice or recommendation. The book is 'for information only.' Also, the information presented here does not claim a textbook accuracy, rather a general guidance. The book presents a 'good faith' summary of a 'good life.' Some facts may be inadequate, inaccurate or outdated and therefore, any error, omission or exclusion, is on the part of the author for which a plea is acknowledged in advance. Facts are nothing but an interpretation of data. Fascinating facts reinforce the topic with research results, discoveries, surveys and statistics. Today, there is so much of information, so much of communication, and so much of evidence that, that one can no longer plead ignorance; and, important as these facts are, a willful blindness is not a good policy either. Facts explain and compare the 'life as–is' vs. 'life hereafter.' Sometimes, statistics can also be as confusing as they are enlightening. So, in order to keep the motion of the topic alive, key data are skimmed and highlighted broadly to the context and rounded 'up or down' to make it casual, simple and generic, and easy to remember. Typically, if any quantitative data are of any significant importance, they are put in numeric format rather than alphabetic format. (Numeric format: Half is not exactly 1/2. 1/2 is more significant than 'half'. Radiation from 1 chest CT scan = 350–400 standard Get
