Nature is not a temple, but a workshop and man is a worker in it.

Today's youth have a positive attitude towards the preservation and enhancement of natural resources, a civic position has been formed, high spiritual and moral values ​​and social guidelines, but still in last years level of the state of natural resources, quality drinking water, the safety of water bodies with fresh water moving steadily down. The main reasons for the violation of the state of rivers and water bodies are both external factors and human intervention in nature, wasteful use of their resources and rather inefficient. It was this problem that formed the basis for the development of my essay.

Nature - the whole world in a variety of its forms - is still an object of study for people. Mankind has discovered many laws that explain the structure of various natural processes. We have learned how to make fire, breed new breeds of animals through selection, we have sent a man into space. We plant cereals and vegetables wherever we want. Even if the soil is not suitable - we will fill it with organic and mineral fertilizers - and the sprouts will sprout. We plant decorative flowers with beautiful geometric designs, creating beautiful new gardens with our own hands. We try and make mistakes, we calculate probabilities, theoretically or practically, we eventually arrive at a given goal. We are mastering.

Since ancient times, man has been trying to adjust nature for himself, to create new comfortable shapes He goes further and further away from the "original intent". A person does not allow the process to develop independently.

He controls it and calls this control culture.

Man does not allow nature to dictate its conditions to him. In large cities, before large-scale parades, clouds are even dispersed, not allowing the rain planned by nature to overshadow the holiday.

It is likely that in the future people will learn to change climatic conditions. The weather will become completely subordinate to man. And yet man is part of nature.

The human body is still not fully understood. Even biochemical reactions familiar to specialists can give unpredictable results. A person is free to make his own choice, but it is very difficult for him to go against his nature.

A man can plant a garden, but can he fashion himself into the image he desires? Can he control the biochemical processes of his body? Set the rhythm of the heart, make the blood circulate faster? Do not let hormonal surges affect your mood? Slow down or speed up hair growth? Maybe with the help chemical substances. With the help of certain physical exercises, he can change his body, with the help of plastic surgery - his face. Man has made a workshop even out of himself. But who will remain the last word? While we grow old and die, it remains with nature, but the future sparkles with bright prospects. Perhaps it's just a matter of time?

People forget that nature is their native and only home that requires careful treatment.

A person is indifferent to the values ​​accumulated by previous generations, lives in the present and uses everything that he needs, without thinking about what consequences this may lead to.

Here are the ideological origins of what our planet has now come to. And our country as well. They took from nature, thinking that its reserves are inexhaustible. They built, erected, changed the course of rivers, cut down forests, not thinking about the consequences. They did not understand that nature is just a temple, where there are no unnecessary details, where everything is interconnected. The forests were cut down, the rivers dried up. Infected rivers and seas with industrial plums - fish stocks have decreased. This is what people have come to, considering nature not as a temple, but as a workshop. But all this was built, created, mined in the name of man, his well-being.

But how should nature be treated? modern man?

Nature is precisely a temple, a beautiful, miraculous temple, which should be protected by everyone, young and old. Don't break a tree, don't hurt an animal, don't leave rubbish in the forest, don't pick wild flowers for no reason, put out the fire to the last spark - we learn all this from childhood and this should become the law for campers. These are the first lessons in nature conservation. And if you are an employee of an industrial enterprise, then remember: workshops are your workshops, your construction sites, and not nature. Then those who come after us will not have to correct our mistakes, cursing us and our irresponsibility.

Of course, I understand perfectly well that humanity cannot live and feed itself without using natural resources. But we must and must use nature without harming it, or reduce this harm to a minimum, maintain reasonable relations with nature and calculate them for many years to come.

Our generation must always remember the destruction that people have caused to nature, for example, the great environmental disaster that Chernobyl has become, be sure to reckon with nature, and then in the future it will answer us the same.

The beauty of our world is so multifaceted and amazing, there are so many amazing corners on our planet with their stunning views that a person cannot allow it to be destroyed without allowing these next generations to enjoy it.

We must remember how much joy the world around us gives us: a blossoming bud, the rustle of rain, the radiance of the sun, the greenery of foliage - how can one not love this? We and nature are one big family and should live together.

I. S. Turgenev, "Fathers and Sons"

People forget that nature is their native and only home, requiring careful attitude to themselves, which is confirmed in the novel by I. S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". Main character, Evgeny Bazarov, is known for his categorical position: "Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man is a worker in it." This is how the Author sees a "new" person in him: he is indifferent to the values ​​accumulated by previous generations, lives in the present and uses everything that he needs, without thinking about what consequences this may lead to. In the novel by I. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons" rises actual topic relationship between nature and man. Bazarov, rejecting any aesthetic enjoyment of nature, perceives it as a workshop, and man as a worker. Arkady, a friend of Bazarov, on the contrary, treats her with all the admiration inherent in a young soul. In the novel, each character is tested by nature. Arkady, communication with the outside world helps to heal spiritual wounds, for him this unity is natural and pleasant. Bazarov, on the contrary, does not seek contact with her - when Bazarov was ill, he "went into the forest and broke branches." She does not give him the desired peace or peace of mind. Thus, Turgenev emphasizes the need for a fruitful and two-way dialogue with nature.

The inextricable link between man and nature:

M.Yu. Lermontov "Hero of Our Time"

The close emotional connection between man and nature can be traced in Lermontov's story "A Hero of Our Time". The events of the life of the main character, Grigory Pechorin, are accompanied by a change in the state of nature in accordance with changes in his mood. So, considering the duel scene, the gradation of the states of the surrounding world and Pechorin's feelings is obvious. If before the duel the sky seemed to him “fresh and blue”, and the sun “brightly shining”, then after the duel, looking at the corpse of Grushnitsky, the heavenly body seemed “dull” to Grigory, and its rays “did not warm”. Nature is not only the experience of heroes, but is also one of actors. The storm becomes the reason for a long meeting between Pechorin and Vera, and in one of the diary entries preceding the meeting with Princess Mary, Grigory notes that "the air of Kislovodsk is conducive to love." With a similar allegory, Lermontov not only more deeply and fully reflects internal state heroes, but also denotes its own, author's presence by introducing nature as a character.

E. Zamyatin "We"

Turning to classical literature, I would like to give as an example the dystopian novel by E. Zamyatin “We”. Rejecting the natural beginning, the inhabitants United State become numbers, whose life is determined by the framework of the Tablet of Hours. The beauties of native nature have been replaced by perfectly proportioned glass structures, and love is possible only if you have a pink card. The protagonist, D-503, is doomed to a mathematically adjusted happiness, which is acquired, however, after the removal of fantasy. It seems to me that with such an allegory, Zamyatin tried to express the inseparability of the connection between nature and man.

Love for nature:

S. Yesenin "Goy you, Rus', my dear"

One of the central themes of the lyrics of the brightest poet of the 20th century S. Yesenin is nature native land. In the poem “Goy you, Rus', my alone,” the poet refuses paradise for the sake of his homeland, her flock is higher than eternal bliss, which, judging by other lyrics, he finds only on Russian soil. Thus, feelings of patriotism and love for nature are closely intertwined. The very awareness of their gradual weakening is the first step towards a natural, real world that enriches the soul and body.

Without any introduction, I say in response to this tirade of Bazarov, the hero of the novel "Fathers and Sons" by I. S. Turgenev: no, no, and again no! What did this nihilist who lived in the 19th century think of! Following these words of his, others could follow, which until recently were almost our slogan: "We cannot wait for favors from nature, it is our task to take them from her."

Here are the ideological origins of what our planet. And our country is included. They took from nature, thinking that its reserves are inexhaustible. They built, erected, changed the course of rivers, cut down forests, not thinking about the consequences. They did not understand that nature is just a temple, where there are no unnecessary details, where everything is interconnected. They cut down forests - rivers dried up, created cascades of dams with artificial seas - villages and sources of water contamination - cattle burial grounds were under water. Infected rivers and seas with industrial plums - fish stocks have decreased. Chernobyl has become a big environmental disaster. This is what people have come to, considering nature not as a temple, but as a workshop. But all this was built, created, mined in the name of man, his well-being.

Of course, I understand perfectly well that humanity cannot live and feed itself without using natural resources. Yes, but only when trouble struck, they thought of it and learned how to use nature without harming it, or to reduce this harm to a minimum. I do not believe that half a century ago our scientists could not solve these problems. They put satellites into orbit, they were the first to send a man into space, but they did not think about reasonable relations with nature, did not consider it necessary to calculate them for many years to come. Will we never get rid of the concept enshrined in folk wisdom from our mentality: “Until the thunder breaks out, the peasant will not cross himself”?

Now they have learned everything: and restore the "lungs plan. you”, that is, forests, and to purify the waters discharged into the seas and rivers. We even thought about alternative energy sources. Just don't expect quick results. Another popular wisdom says: "To break is not to build." Now the main thing is not to inflict new wounds on nature.

Nature is precisely a temple, a beautiful, miraculous temple, which should be protected by everyone, young and old. Do not break bushes, do not hurt the cat, do not leave garbage in the forest or on the shore - all this must be taught from childhood. These are the first lessons in nature conservation. Do not pick wild flowers for no reason, put out the fire to the last spark - this should become a law for campers. And if you are an employee of an industrial enterprise, then remember: workshops are your workshops, your construction sites, and not nature. Then those who come after us will not have to correct our mistakes, cursing us and our irresponsibility.

Nature is precisely a temple, a beautiful, miraculous temple, which should be protected by everyone, young and old. Don't break bushes, don't hurt a cat, don't leave rubbish in the forest or on the shore - all this must be taught from childhood. These are the first lessons in nature conservation.

“Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and a person in it is a worker,” these are the words of the hero of the novel, I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons" Evgeny Bazarov. Can we agree with his statement?

I don't think so. Nature is undoubtedly a temple, which must be treated with care, protected and cherished for its beauty. There are so many magnificent places on our Earth: majestic mountains, full-flowing rivers, deep seas, dense forests and much more.

Any creation of nature requires a reverent attitude, because it is given to man for life and for the soul. This was also reflected in fiction. The works of M. Prishvin, K. Paustovsky, poems by S. Yesenin, I. Bunin, K. Rylenkov and many others glorify the beauty of the world around them, enrich the human soul.

But people should not only admire the temple of nature, but also live in it. Therefore, nature can be called a workshop, and man a master. The rest depends on what kind of master. This problem has always interested writers and poets.

V. Rasputin's story "Farewell to Matyora" speaks of the flooding of fertile lands during the construction of a hydroelectric power station. People have lived on this earth for centuries. They grew bread, used the gifts of forests and rivers, gave birth and raised children. And now they are burning huts, devastating cemeteries. The settlement where people from Matera are resettled is not well suited for rural residents. There is nowhere to keep cattle, there are no hayfields nearby, cellars are being heated. Of course, people, cities and enterprises also need electricity from the hydroelectric power station. But doesn't it come at a very high price?

The writer emphasized the power of nature, creating the image of a larch that grew on the island. And the workers tried to burn it, and cut it down. But the strong tree did not succumb to people. I think that this larch is a symbol of the power and immortality of nature. The author of the story makes the reader think about his attitude to the world around him and that if nature is a workshop, then a person must be a good master who does not destroy the living world, but lives in harmony with it.

It is this master that we can call the hero of B. Vasiliev's story "Don't Shoot White Swans" by Yegor Polushkin. "Babe-bearer" is called by his wife. Kind, impractical, penniless, he is unlikely to like the modern young reader. But, undoubtedly, it is this hero of the story that will make everyone think about their attitude to the beauty of the world around them, teach them to love their native nature.

Yegor lived the life of mother nature. With pain in his heart, he looked at the anthill enveloped in flames, at the linden tree with its bark completely peeled off. He felt sorry for every little animal, every blade of grass and twig. And he also dreamed that the Black Lake would again become Swan Lake. With all the money given to him for purchases by fellow countrymen, he bought swans in Moscow and brought them to his homeland, to a forest lake. I thought that no one would raise their hand to such beauty. Got up! The swans were killed, Yegor died. But his son, Kolka, is growing up, in whose soul his father managed to lay love for mother nature. Closing Vasiliev's book, the reader will think about the questions posed in the story by the writer, and about his attitude to the world.
