There is a debate about using prescribed fires. Prescribed fires are fires that help reduce the catastrophic damage that wildfire creates. prescribed fires work most of the time, but they can be faulty at some points. That's why some people don't agree with using prescribed fires. Even though they sometimes don't work, they can be really helpful when they do work.
Aboriginal people have a long history of traditions, but many of these traditions were altered or
Throughout the course of humanity, fire has always been an essential source of survival. Due to its impact on human history, over the years, it has been interpreted by a variety of cultures in many different ways. In literature, since fire is considered a tangible object, it is often used to embody an intricate concept or idea. Ray Bradbury incorporates the literary technique of symbolism in the novel, Fahrenheit 451, in order to illustrate the significance of fire in a dark and empty dystopia where ignorance is a societal norm. In this corrupt society, the presence of fire is crucial because it represents the concepts of destruction and authority, enlightenment and reformation, and warmth and relief.
Whilst so different, we are both very much the same- ‘Tribe Wars: Queensland’s forgotten stories of colonial inquest’ is a proposed non-fiction text that shares the conflicting perspectives held by both the Indigenous Joondoburri people who first inhabited the North Coast of Queensland, and the dreams held by many ‘White’ European settlers who, like the original ‘boat people,’ longed for a place to start life afresh.
The diction of fire in Fahrenheit is pretty confusing because it's not just one word. There’s multiple words to describe fire that may even seem shocking because of the ways it’s presented. In this analysis, you’ll find that Ray Bradbury is taking fire to a whole other level. He’s not just describing the physical appearance, but also the literal sense of fire. By the end, Bradbury’s message will be clear.
The drought will negatively impact our environment. Drought is a cause of wildfire in California. Wildfires will affect to environment quality, property and lives. Drought leads to arid land forests and high temperature. It is a cause of the wildfire. California received lower rain and wetter less than average. It is one of some reasons wildfire in California. Another cause of the wildfires is dryness weather, wildfires are most frequently in hot areas where there are extended periods of drought and higher temperature. So higher fire season in California is in the summer. The forest is providing the oxygen and fight with global warming. It is also fight flooding, help flash flood and reducing property damage by block the flow. So wildfire
Natural elements along with an unforeseen circumstance contributed to the direct catastrophe tragedy that captures the lives of twelve members of the El Cariso Hotshots on November 1, 1966.This fire become designated as The Loop Fire. Ten members perish on the Fireline will twelve members severely burn consequently two perish later at the hospital from burn injuries. Bringing the fatalities total to twelve members of the El Cariso Hotshots. We can’t forget this fallen man. We need to learn from the past to prevent future targets through our action taken by strategy, tactics and hazard awareness. Each member is ultimately responsible for taken firefighter safety action and being able to recognize scene around them. Understanding Topographical
Without the advent of the harnessing of hungry, sanguine, licking flames of fire, there is no conceivable path where early homo sapiens evolve to become the modern man. The physical, material world that exists today would stand absolutely no chance of seeing the light of day without the utilization of fire. However, fire has played a much bigger role in human history than simply allowing for the advancement of the physical world, it has inextricably tied itself to humankind through the culture and religions practiced over every square mile of inhabited land on this planet. Fire is unpredictable and uncontainable, it is man’s friend but is also his foe, fire is essential to the sustaining of human life, but it also has the power to wipe every ounce of that life force from the face of the Earth. The power of fire has been recognized in language, in literature, art and religion. Fire is judgment, fire is sacrifice, fire is punishment, fire is rebirth, fire is cleansing, fire is destructive. Ultimately, though fire can be used by human beings, its meaning bent to the will of man, fire itself is an uncontrollable force of nature capable of unknown destruction. The fiery religious imagery F. Scott Fitzgerald employs in the Great Gatsby, reflects the moral degradation engendered by the cyclical destructive nature of the designation of wealth as the ultimate achievement in life.
Before the European invasion, the local people were nomadic, moving around to hunt and fish.
But the lecture says that Australia is too large and has so many landscape variaty that human 's fire could not have caused so tremendous
In his article “Steel Axes for Stone-Age Australians,” Lauriston Sharp discusses the traditional Yir Yoront culture of Australia in the mid 1930s and the importance and function of the stone axe in the in terms of technology, conduct, and belief in the culture. Sharp evaluates that the colonization of various Europeans had resulted into the introduction of new technologies that they had brought along with them. The article mainly focuses on the steel axes that were introduced which outweighed the stone axes previously used by these people and has thus drastically affected the Yir Yoront culture. Ultimately, the author concludes that the traditional culture of this aboriginal tribe had collapsed and a new culture incorporated with European values
The arrival of Europeans in 1788 led to the widespread dispossession of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. They wrenched the indigenous population from their lands and sacred sites severing their cultural connections and depriving them of their livelihoods. They no longer had a way to hunt & gather food or make bush medicine. Almost overnight their whole lifestyle and reason for being became defunct. This has a continuing effect on indigenous people today as many battle feelings of hopelessness and struggle to find a balance with their traditional lifestyle and culture as well as exist in a white dominated, highly urbanised
I am against prescribed burning because it alters plant community structure, and it can help spread weeds and increase the erosion rates of steep slope soils. It also removes much of the ground and near ground habitat structure, and makes life very difficult for small mammals and some reptiles. I believe that most of this wildlife dies because it has no where else to go. By removing leaf litter off the forest floor it interrupts soil formation process. Plant matter that would otherwise break down into soil humus is instead turned to ash. It is necessarily done in cool weather with slightly damp fuels that result in incomplete combustion which results in more toxic smoke. Continued burning could alter soil structures and the controlled burns
When Captain Cook was trying to land at Australia, he was faced with the aggressive natives who were fighting to resist the landing. “they vigorously opposed the landing of the 30 or 40 well-armed Europeans, and refused to give way even when they were shot at” (R 98). This is a different reaction from the natives we have seen so far. It simply shows that the native Aborigines were more rebellious, thus reflected how they lived their lives differently from other indigenous people the Europeans have encountered. This could also be supported by Jared Diamond’s Guns, germs, and steel. He mentioned that the Aborigines were “seminomadic hunter-gatherers” , and that they “developed some of the earliest known stone tools with ground edges, the earliest hafted stone tools” and “the earliest watercraft, in the world” (R 33). This shows how the Aborigines lived their life and how they benefited from being a hunter-gatherers. It explains why, once the European crew arrived at their land, they were aggressive and fight, because it is their natural traits. More importantly, Diamond also mentioned that two white explorers who were trying to fight the desert’s heat were rescued by the Aborigines. Unfortunately, after one of them shot the Aborigines, they abandoned them and resulted in the two “died within a month after the Aborigine’s departure” (R 33). This also supports that the Aborigines, benefitted from being natives, knew how to survive better in their land. Despite the fact that they did not have guns as the Europeans did, they still survive. This could be because they did not have advanced tools, they developed crucial skills to hunt and knew how to deal with the dry climates (but it could also be because they were already adapted to the environment). This characteristic of the Aborigines stands as one of the example of the
One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. It is evident that there is climate change around the world. In recent years, we have so many unusual hurricanes, typhoons, floods, droughts and earthquakes. Plants and animals that lived in the cold climates are now disappearing. Many scientists believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heat effect on the atmosphere and this could be dangerous for the environment and human life (Hansen, 2011). This article will examine the causes of global warming, its impacts and the remedies we can do to combat global warming. Many problems could result from global warming. Increase
