I once said that pandas are the best animal in the world and guess what, they are. Pandas are an interesting animal that live in the North-Western mountain ranges of China. They have distinctive dark patches on their body that stand out which makes them unique in their own way. They are very quiet but if pushed, they will attack. They are my favourite animal because they are different from everybody else. Just like me.

The giant panda is an endangered specie. Did you know that there are only 2000 giant panda left in captivity? In total, there are only 4785 pandas left in the world. Luckily, there are organizations like the WWF who help endangered species.

So internet, what's your favourite animal?

Dominion Vs Stewardship

 Today I will explain why I think Stewardship is better than Dominion. For starters, Dominion replaces resources with inventions and say that it is a "better substitute" for our natural resources. Fact is, this is damaging the environment. While stewardship preserves resources for the environment. Stewardship's try to preserve for the next generation because the earth is eventually passed on to the next generation. These are reasons why I think Stewardship is better than Dominion. My T-Chart is done below.

Essential Questions

 What is technology?










Dominion
Stewardship
Dominion means to control over and area or territory
A steward is a person who manages someone else’s property

Dominion has been popular for the past 500 years
Wise stewardship means that the earth and its resources are used carefully
Human intelligence will solve resource depletion problems by using new technology
Steward’s reserve resources by using them no faster than their replacement rates
Inventions will replace natural resources like with even better substitutes
