Man VS Nature

I would like to talk about the topic Man vs Nature mainly because it shows how great nature can be. It is like men tries to shape and control his world, but nature will always show man that they are at natures' will. A good example would be the Holland dikes or the Themes surge barriers or the leaves around New Orleans. Each one of these man tries to shape his world, but nature tries to reclaim its territory. Nature can change very quickly and spontaneously while man, even if he is ruled by emotions, still follows a certain pattern or personality, making his reactions "foreseeable" in a way nature cannot be. Thus nature's unpredictability lies in its restlessness and man's predictability in his established character.

Another good example would be a dam. Man builds it, but it must stand up to the forces of the river, which are significant. One crack in the dam and structure is weakened. Many times during flooding smaller dams called levees (made from soil) are put under too much pressure by the water and give way. That happened in New Orleans. Man can be unpredictable. Natural disasters may be unexpected but then so can humans. We can become violent at any given moment.

Mankind can be clever and powerful at times but when against the powerful nature, it would destroy anthing in its path and shall have no mercy on us. They can easily crush us dead or make us injured without much effort.
However, everything has their reasons. We have to think what we have done to have agitated Nature. we caused many negative effect on the environment such as
• deforestation
• cutting and burning of trees
• factories giving out toxic gas
• polluted marine life
• pollute the environment
• etc....
Hence, we cannot blame on Mother nature for all disasters, we only have blame ourselves for being too not environmental conscious and so self- centered. In conclusion, we should do our best to protect the environment.
