Examples of the influence of nature on man arguments. Theme "Nature and man": arguments

There is no doubt that the Earth was and is a giving planet. Everything that people need to survive and thrive has been provided by nature: food, water, medicine, materials for housing, and even natural cycles. However, we have so disconnected ourselves from the natural world that we easily and often forget that nature remains as giving as ever, even as it fades away.

The growth of technology and industry may have partly distanced us from the natural world, but it has not changed our dependence on it. Much of what we use and consume on a daily basis remains the product of many interactions that are endangered by our activities. Beyond such physical goods, the natural world provides less tangible but equally important gifts in terms of beauty, art, and spirituality.

Here is a selection of factors that influence nature on humans:

Fresh water

There is no other substance that people need more than: without water, we can only survive a few hellish days. However, many of the world's drinking water sources are facing pollution and overuse. Soils, microorganisms and plant roots play a role in the filtration and recycling of pollutants, and their cost is much cheaper than building water filtration plants. According to research, the greater the biodiversity, the faster and more efficiently it is cleaned.

Pollination

Imagine trying to pollinate every apple blossom in the garden: that's what nature does for us. Insects, birds, and even some mammals pollinate many of the world's plants, including much of human agriculture. About 80% of plants on the planet need pollinators.

Spreading seeds

Like pollination, many of the world's plants require other species to move their seeds from their parent plant to new locations. The seeds are spread by a wide variety of animals: birds, bats, rodents, elephants, tapirs, and even fish. Seed dispersal is especially important in tropical forests, where most plants depend on the movement of animals.

Pest control

A recent study found that bats save billions of dollars a year in agriculture simply by doing what they normally do: they eat insects, many of which are potentially harmful to crops.

Soil health

The ground beneath our feet matters more than we often admit. Healthy fertile soil provides optimal conditions for plants by participating in a number of natural cycles, from nutrient utilization to water purification. Although the soil is renewable, it is also susceptible to overuse and degradation, often due to industrial agriculture, pollution and fertilizers. Natural vegetation and soil quality mitigate excessive erosion, which can have dramatic consequences for land loss.

Medicine

Nature is our largest medicine cabinet: to date, it has provided mankind with many life-saving medicines from quinine, aspirin and morphine to numerous drugs in the fight against cancer and HIV.

Fishing

Humanity has turned to rivers and seas for food for at least 40,000 years, but probably more. Today, with the global collapse of fisheries, more than a billion people depend on fish as their main source of protein. , and seagrass ecosystems provide breeding grounds for the world's fisheries, while the open ocean is used for migration and hunting.

Biodiversity and abundance of wildlife

The argument for preserving the world's wildlife often comes from an aesthetic point of view. Many conservationists have fought to save animals simply because they like a particular species. This is often explained by the fact that more widely known animals - tigers, elephants, rhinoceros - receive much more attention than less popular (albeit endangered) wildlife, such as the clouded bat.

But besides the fact that the world has become a less lonely, less boring and more beautiful place - wonderful reasons in themselves - many of the services provided by biodiversity are similar to those provided by all of nature. Biodiversity produces food, fibers, wood products; purifies water, controls agricultural pests and pollinates; provides recreational activities such as bird watching, gardening, diving and ecotourism.

climate regulation

The natural world helps regulate the Earth's climate. Ecosystems such as peatlands and mangroves contain a significant amount of carbon, while the ocean captures carbon through phytoplankton. While greenhouse gas regulation is a must in this era, new research suggests that the world's ecosystems may also play a role in weather. A recent study showed that the rainforest acted as its own "bioreactor", producing clouds and rainfall from its abundance of plant materials.

Economy

Nature underlies the entire global economy. Without fertile soils, clean drinking water, healthy forests and a stable climate, the global economy will face disaster. By endangering our environment, we endanger the economy. According to research published in the journal Science, the global value of shared ecosystem services could be between $40 trillion and $60 trillion a year.

Health

Nature lovers have long noticed that spending time in a green space, such as a park, provides mental and physical health benefits. Working out in the park rather than the gym promotes mental health and gives you a greater sense of well-being. Walking for 20 minutes in a green space has been shown to help children with ADHD improve their concentration, on par with medication, and sometimes even better. People who live in more natural environments have better overall health, even when accounting for economic differences.

Art

Imagine poetry without flowers, painting without landscapes, or films without scenery. There is no doubt that the natural world has provided world art with some of its greatest subjects. What we lose in nature, we also lose in art.

Spirituality

Economic measurements are useful; but, as with most things in the world, the economy simply fails to capture true value. Science is also a useful measure of the importance of nature, but it fails to measure the practical and aesthetic value for each individual.

The composition of the exam in the text:"A trip to Olepin gave me an unforgettable experience. The morning found me not in bed, not in a hut or city apartment, but under a haystack on the banks of the Koloksha River ..."(according to V.A. Soloukhin).

(1) Among the many shameful deeds that I have committed in my life, one is the most memorable to me. (2) In the orphanage, a loudspeaker hung in the corridor, and once a voice was heard in it, unlike anyone else, something that irritated me - most likely just a dissimilarity. (3) “Ha… Yelling like a stallion!” I said and unplugged the loudspeaker from the socket. (4) The singer's voice broke off. (5) The children sympathetically reacted to my act, because in my childhood I was the most melodious and reading person. (6) ... Many years later in Essentuki, in a spacious summer hall, I listened to a symphony concert. (7) All the musicians of the Crimean orchestra who had seen and survived in their lifetime with the glorious, ant-like, young conductor Zinaida Tykach patiently explained to the public what and why they would play, when, by whom and on what occasion this or that piece of music was written. (8) They did this as if with an apology for their intrusion into such a life of citizens oversaturated with spiritual values, who are being treated and simply fattening at the resort, and the concert began with a dashing Strauss overture in order to prepare listeners overworked by culture for the second, more serious part. (9) But the fabulous Strauss, the fiery Brahms, and the coquettish Offenbach did not help - already from the middle of the first part of the concert, the audience, crowded into the hall for a musical event just because it was free, began to leave the hall. (10) Yes, if only they left him just like that, silently, carefully - no, they left with indignation, shouts, abuse, as if they had deceived them in their best desires and dreams. (11) The chairs in the concert hall are old, Viennese, with round wooden seats, knocked together in order, and every citizen, rising from his seat, considered it his duty to slam the seat indignantly. (12) I sat, shrinking into myself, listening to the musicians tear themselves to drown out the noise and swearing in the hall, and I wanted to ask for forgiveness for all of us from the lovely conductor in a black tailcoat, from the orchestra members, who so hard and stubbornly earn their honest , poor bread, apologize for all of us and tell how I was in childhood ... (13) But life is not a letter, there is no postscript in it. (14) What if the singer whom I once offended with a word, her name is the great Nadezhda Obukhova, became my favorite singer, that I “corrected” and cried more than once listening to her. (15) She, the singer, will never hear my repentance, will not be able to forgive me. (16) On the other hand, already elderly and gray-haired, I shudder from every bang and rattle of a chair in the concert hall, ... when the musicians are trying with all their strength, capabilities and talent to convey the suffering of an early-suffering short-sighted young man in defenseless round glasses. (17) He, in his dying symphony, the unfinished song of his aching heart, has been stretching his hands into the hall for more than a century and crying out with a prayer: “(18) People, help me! (19) Help! .. (20) Well, if you can’t help me, at least help yourself! .. "

Do we love our native places where we spent our childhood? Would you like to once again plunge into the atmosphere of childhood? And you can immediately answer in the affirmative: “I think so!”. The problem of the influence of nature on man, the perception of nature is raised by V.A. Soloukhin in his article.

Olepin's trip gave him an unforgettable experience. He experienced such sensations while fishing, and he never experienced them like this again in his life. The author writes that such a night cannot but charm: "... if it does not charm, then the person himself is to blame." To say so, you need to love your homeland, your native places so much, and not only love, but also be able to see this beauty.

The position of the author is clearly expressed in the content of the entire text. Only a person who strongly feels the beauty of nature can describe the state in which the author was. The author writes about how important children's impressions are, because they preserve a joyful perception of the world, they are the most vivid and unforgettable.

I fully agree with the author of the article. Everything that surrounds us is full of meaning and meaning, every moment of life is unique. We need to appreciate these moments. And, being in nature, a person learns to sincerely enjoy the world around him. And this world is especially dear to us when we remember it from childhood.

There are many examples in the literature where this problem is raised. In the story of I.S. Turgenev "Bezhin Meadow" a huge place is occupied by descriptions of nature. We see with what great love the author describes his native places, where he loved to hunt. His entire cycle of stories is combined into one large book, Records of a Hunter. Here the author pays great attention to the description of the surrounding nature. Only a person who infinitely loves nature can feel and describe it so subtly. And the beauty of nature could not but charm Turgenev, who did not doubt its greatness at all.

Also in the novel "War and Peace" L.N. Tolstoy, through the eyes of Andrei Bolkonsky, describes the extraordinary beauty of a rotten oak. We see how exactly the hero feels nature, everything that surrounds him. How strongly the oak influenced the hero. Prince Andrei, as it were, says to himself that life at the age of 31 is not over yet!

And the writer Solokhuin is right in saying that this problem is very important, that a person depends on nature, on the world around him. After all, human life without nature is unthinkable.

Arguments for an essay in the Russian language.
Nature. Part 1.
The problem of nature, attitude to nature, animals, struggle with the natural world, interference in the natural world, the beauty of nature, the influence of nature on a person's character.

Is man the king of nature or a part? What is dangerous consumer attitude to nature? What can lead to the struggle of man with the natural world? (V.P. Astafiev "Tsar-fish")

Everyone understands what nature is, but not everyone thinks about what its role is in our life and what is its impact on the thoughts and feelings of people. Reflecting on how strong the connection of a person with the world around him, G.N. Troepolsky in the proposed text raises the problem of the influence of nature on people.

The author himself is deeply indifferent to this problem, therefore, trying to draw the reader's attention to it, he cites the emotional reasoning of his lyrical hero about the beauty of the autumn forest. Convincing the reader that the forest is a "piece of happiness", the writer places special emphasis on the fact that it is in nature that a person can reflect on really important things, saying that the forest is the best place "for reflection". So, being convinced of the existence of an inseparable connection between man and nature, G.N. Troepolsky leads readers to the conclusion about the most powerful influence of the surrounding world on people.

The writer is sure that nature has a very strong influence on a person, affecting our feelings, thoughts and mood, transforming and purifying the souls of people.

The problem posed by G.N. Troepolsky worried many other writers, for example, it was reflected in B. Vasilyev’s novel “Do not shoot white swans”. The protagonist of the novel, Yegor Polushkin, is a man who, like no one else, subtly feels nature and connection with it. So, going out one early morning to the shore of a forest lake, Yegor felt this connection especially sharply, and a feeling of “complete, almost solemn calmness” swept over him, forcing the hero to forget about all the hardships of his “unlucky life”. Thus, it was precisely by feeling complete harmony with nature that Yegor Polushkin was able to think about truly important things and feel truly happy.

L.N. Tolstoy also poses this problem in his novel "War and Peace", in which, using the example of the image of one of the main characters Andrei Bolkonsky, the writer shows readers the power of nature's influence on man. Having received a serious wound near Austerlitz, Andrei lies on the battlefield and sees only the high sky above him, which struck the hero with its greatness. It is at this moment, under the influence of the beauty of nature, that the hero rethinks his life values, realizing that "everything is empty, everything is a lie." So, thanks to nature, A. Bolkonsky was able to understand himself and find peace of mind and peace.

Summing up, we can say that the power with which nature affects people is really very great, since it is under its influence that a person is able to spiritually cleanse and transform, plunging into deep thoughts about really important things and becoming truly happy.

• The beauty of nature encourages not only to admire it, but also to think about philosophical topics
• The murmur of the river, the singing of birds, the breath of the wind - all this helps to restore peace of mind
• Admiration for the beauty of nature can cause a burst of creativity, inspire the creation of masterpieces.
• Even a rude person is able to see something positive in nature.

Arguments

L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". The wounded Andrei Bolkonsky, lying on the battlefield, sees the sky of Austerlitz. The beauty of the sky changes his worldview: the hero understands that "everything is empty, everything is a lie." What he lived before seemed to him insignificant and insignificant. The beauty of nature cannot be compared with the cruel, embittered faces of howling people, the sound of gunshots and explosions. Napoleon, whom Prince Andrei had previously considered an idol, seemed no longer a great, but an insignificant person. The magnificent sky of Austerlitz helped Andrei Bolkonsky to understand himself, to reconsider his views on life.

E. Hemingway "The Old Man and the Sea". In the work, we see the sea as it is for the old fisherman Santiago. The sea not only provides him with food, but also brings joy to the life of this person, makes him strong, as if supplying energy reserves from some invisible sources. Santiago is grateful to the sea. The old man admires him like a woman. The soul of the old fisherman is beautiful: Santiago is able to admire the beauty of nature, despite the hardships of his existence.

I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". Everyone tends to perceive nature in their own way. If for the nihilist Yevgeny Bazarov the surrounding world is a workshop, an object of practice, then for Arkady Kirsanov, nature is primarily beautiful. Arkady liked to walk in the woods. Nature attracted him, helped him to come to inner balance, to heal spiritual wounds. The hero admired nature, although he did not admit it, because at first he also called himself a nihilist. The ability to perceive the beauty of nature is part of the character of the hero, making him a real person, able to see the best in the world around him.

Jack London Martin Eden. Many of the works of the novice writer Martin Eden are based on what he saw on the voyages. These are not only life stories, but also the natural world. Martin Eden does his best to express the splendor he saw on paper. And over time, he manages to write in such a way as to convey all the charm of nature as it really is. It turns out that for Martin Eden the beauty of nature becomes a source of inspiration, an object of creativity.

M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" Callousness and selfishness in relation to people do not prevent Grigory Pechorin from being reverent about nature. Everything was important for the soul of the hero: spring trees at the time of flowering, a slight gust of wind, majestic mountains. Pechorin wrote in his journal: "It's fun to live in such a land!" He wanted to fully express the feelings that the beauty of nature evoked in him.

A.S. Pushkin "Winter Morning". With admiration, the great poet describes the landscape of a winter day. Turning to the lyrical heroine, he writes about nature in such a way that it comes to life before the reader. The snow lies in "splendid carpets", the room is illuminated with an "amber sheen" - everything indicates that the weather is really wonderful. A.S. Pushkin not only felt the beauty of nature, but also conveyed it to the reader by writing this beautiful poem. The beauty of nature is one of the sources of inspiration for the poet.
