What is Nature?

Nature as an academic topic appears across a wide range of disciplines, from biology and environmental science to literature, psychology, and philosophy. Students are asked to engage with it because it sits at the intersection of empirical inquiry and humanistic interpretation, making it productively complex. Questions about what is natural—whether in human behavior, literary settings, social structures, or biological systems—invite critical thinking that resists simple answers. The recurring tension between nature and nurture, for example, raises fundamental questions about identity, ability, and the role of environment in shaping individuals, which gives the topic lasting relevance across courses.

The papers collected here reflect a genuinely diverse range of approaches. Some take a comparative angle, setting texts or systems against one another—such as examining electric and hybrid cars versus gas-powered vehicles, or contrasting figures like Gilgamesh and the Monkey King. Others engage in literary analysis, exploring how nature functions in works like Jack London's "To Build a Fire" or Shakespeare's "Othello." Still others approach nature through a psychological or sociological lens, particularly in discussions of major depressive disorder, the nature versus nurture debate, and leadership behavior. Case-study and policy-oriented approaches also appear, touching on issues like the Oregon Death with Dignity Act.

A strong essay on nature begins with a clearly scoped thesis that specifies which dimension of nature is under examination—biological, environmental, thematic, or philosophical. Evidence carries the most weight when it is drawn directly from primary sources, empirical research, or close textual analysis rather than broad generalization. The most common pitfall is treating "nature" as self-explanatory; defining the term precisely within the essay's specific context is essential to maintaining a coherent argument throughout.

Appalachian Trail Conservancy Grant Proposal
This project will implement a multi-agency, public-private effort to create safe visitor access, rehabilitate existing resource damage, and reconstruct trails in a premier, heavily-used, rock climbing and hiking area located within a quarter-mile of the Harpers Ferry (State Highway 340). Located within close proximity to the byway, nationally designated for its scenic qualities, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides byway travelers ready access to recreational opportunities to take in the scenic beauty of the area by providing access to a variety of climbing and easy hiking opportunities to view amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. To enhance the byway traveler experience, this project will improve vehicle-pedestrian highway safety; provide for hiker and rock climber safety and education; provide for natural resource protection/rehabilitation/education; and provide a unique ‘get out of the car and walk' byway experience. This includes the provision of an off-highway, family-safe, parking facility from the byway that serves as a trailhead to the climbing and hiking area, and the development and dissemination of consistent resource protection and education messages from all partners across agency boundaries. This project benefits the byway traveler by providing safe, stable, hiking trail opportunities free of visible natural resource damage that wind between towering rock formations and large diameter ponderosa pine trees, provides opportunities to view or climb alongside rock climbers practicing their sport, catch a glimpse of local wildlife, and foster appreciation for and stewardship of the byway's resources.

Behavior? Prejudice and Social Psychology Gender-Based Stereotypes
The contribution of Stanley Milgram has been significant in the field of social psychology. Milgram conducted experiments of human behavior in a laboratory setting and concluded that obedience to authority usually disregards moral or legal normative standards. An individual's behavior is thus shaped by the environment, people around, and his figure of authority. "Because humans are social animals, human behavior is strongly influenced by behavior of other humans; this influence is often very direct"(Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Pg. 18). The current paper investigates as to what extent the human behavior is influenced by others. The paper adopts an investigative approach and cites peer reviewed articles to substantiate the discussion. Social identity theory is also an important theoretical explanation that explains how and why an individual voluntarily gets influenced from socially constructed relationships.

Wetlands Regulation in USA
Wetlands are among the globe's most sensitive habitats. They balance delicately with their setting and are influenced by any shift in the atmosphere, local land use and water supply. Scores of wetlands occupy areas that can become useful and fertile agricultural fields if drained, and the pear recovered from these wetlands is economically valuable. The upshot is that wetlands are considerably vulnerable and fragile habitats. As the human population grows, claim for food production, land also increases, and so are the pressures placed on wetlands. These useful ecosystems will inevitably decline if people do not conceive and control them. In this regard, this paper reviews wetlands regulation measures in the United States. The paper offers a clear definition of wetlands, their economic, social and biological values besides highlighting the inclusion of wetlands in Clean Water Act jurisdiction. The paper also highlights the history of regulation of Wetlands tied to Clean Water Act, issues concerning wetland regulations, the inclusion of Commerce Clause into cases regarding wetland regulation by federal government, the enforcement of the CWA, and culminates with a coherent conclusion.
