nks will hinder the stewardship of wilderness areas in the future will help in showing how Cronon’s “rethinking of wilderness” can be effectively applied to solve the problems.

Naturalness is defined in different ways. It is described as characterizations of nature being apart from humans (Cole, 2012). Cole identifies problems with naturalness. The first challenge is its multiple meanings and hence leads to a different understanding to different peoples. To some people, being natural means lack of human effect, a place with little human influence (Cole, 2012). There are those that believe natural to be freedom from intentional human control while others sees it as a historical fidelity (Cole, 2012). However, the changes of ecosystem currently taking place means one has to be selective when relying on these meanings. Therefore, one has to choose between them to suit the prevailing conditions.

The other challenge has been on the reasons for setting wilderness. Currently, there is no unifying reason as to why wilderness areas are set aside. This is because there have been diverse reasons for setting aside such areas. Some of the major reasons for protections include certain valued species, nostalgic landscapes, biological diversity, scenery, ecosystem services, and autonomous nature (Cole, 2012). However, with increasing knowledge, it has been found that it is difficult to achieve all the purpose in one ecosystem. For this reason, some have to be considered at the expense of others.

Cronon’s “rethinking of wilderness” offers a practical solution to the problems of naturalness. The essay argues that the problems can only be solved by realizing that man has always been in existence with the wilderness. Therefore, the notion that Wilderness is the only remaining place that has been free from civilization is unreal. The author notes wilderness has been a product of civilization (Cronon, 1995). As a result, trying to set it apart from the creator will not

I need some assistance with these assignment. ways to reduce the risk of cvd amongst patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus Thank you in advance for the help! One of the proposed techniques for avoiding complications such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in patients with diabetes is to stringently control and manage blood pressure of the patient. The author believes that this practice of keeping blood pressure in check could actually be efficient in preventing CVDs. This paper aims to discuss the mechanism of diabetes mellitus, focusing on type 2. At the same time, a discussion of why strict control and management of a type 2 diabetic patient’s blood pressure could prevent CVDs will also be presented. Pertinent and related information such as prevalence of diabetes particularly in the United Kingdom will be discussed, as well as the social and economic impact of this disease.

The organization of this paper begins with a brief description of diabetes mellitus, type 1 and type 2. The author deems it necessary to also present statistics such as prevalence of diabetes in the United Kingdom and CVDs. After which the author will once again emphasize on the thesis statement, followed y a presentation of supporting journals and other studies. The social and economic bearing of all these will then be expanded on, ending with the recommendations of the author, applicability of the paper to actual practice and ultimately, the conclusion.

Around the world, diabetes mellitus continues to be a concern for many. In fact, over the years its prevalence has grown in several countries. According to a 2004 study by Diabetes UK (2004), since 1996 the statistics of people who have been diagnosed with diabetes went up from only 1.4 million during that year to 1.8 million. By the year 2000, they believe that diabetes will further go up to 3 million (Diabetes UK, 2004). An estimate of the International Diabetes Foundation done in 2003 was that&nbsp.in 2007 the prevalence of diabetes would go up to 4% of the population ( 2008). Notably, Diabetes UK claims that most of these cases will be Type 2 because of the fast increase in the statistics of the obese and overweight individuals (Diabetes UK, 2004).
