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.

Cognitive psychology and false memory: college-level analysis
It is humbly submitted that oral evidence all over the world forms the primary form of evidence. What a person sees, hears and probably experiences are part of the testimony which can be rebutted by a cross examination. In the adversarial form of criminal law, evidence of this type must be subject to a cross examination by the defence. In the case of a person submitting evidence based on the recall of past events that spans years previously, mostly a result of intervention by a third agent – a doctor or other operator who using a drug, powerful suggestions or hypnotic trance induce the witness to give evidence based on what they submit is from the ‘subconscious'. The problem with this evidence is that it cannot be put to the test of cross examination, nor does the witness himself or herself fully understand what he or she has stated. There is a legal mist of uncertainty in acting upon this type of evidence, and by that alone. At best it could be tertiary supporting evidence provided other evidence – either direct or secondary point to the events as stated by these types of witness. Such witnesses who have imagined the event, or confessed to things they never did, have actually hampered the proper administration of justice – and have either caused harm to themselves and to other innocent persons. It is pertinent to submit here that most of these types of evidence comes out against the witnesses own parents,, or close associates and the events sought to be prosecuted occurred decades ago. The problem therefore in this matter is not merely appreciation of evidence, but also the quality and the question if this is evidence at all. To examine this it is proposed to illustrate the cases in detail, thus highlighting the problem.
