Naturalism

Examples of Naturalism in the following topics:

• Basic Economics of Natural Resources

  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources to create a more efficient economy.
  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources.
  • The main objective of natural resource economics is to gain a better understanding of the role of natural resources in the economy.
  • As a field of academic research, natural resource economics addresses the connections and interdependence between human economies and natural ecosystems.
  • Natural resource economics focuses on the demand, supply, and allocation of natural resources to increase sustainability.

• Types of Natural Resources

  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources.
  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources.
  • Natural resources are derived from the environment.
  • Non-renewable natural resources: these resources form extremely slow and do not naturally form in the environment.
  • Analyze natural resource economics and explain the types of natural resources that exist.

• Natural Monopolies

  • Natural monopolies occur when a single firm can serve the entire market at a lower cost than a combination of two or more firms.
  • The total cost of the natural monopoly is lower than the sum of the total costs of two firms producing the same quantity .
  • A natural monopoly's cost structure is very different from that of most industries.
  • Natural monopolies tend to form in industries where there are high fixed costs.
  • Examples of natural monopolies are water and electricity services.

• Nature vs. Nurture: A False Debate

  • Recently, the nature versus nurture debate has entered the realm of law and criminal defense.
  • The "nature" in the nature versus nurture debate generally refers to innate qualities.
  • In historical terms, nature might refer to human nature or the soul.
  • The "nature" side may be criticized for implying that we behave in ways in which we are naturally inclined, rather than in ways we choose.
  • A molecular biologist and psychoanalyst explain the nature versus nurture debate.

• Carboxylic Acid Natural Products

  • Carboxylic acids are widespread in nature, often combined with other functional groups.
  • A mnemonic phrase for the C10 to C20 natural fatty acids capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and arachidic is: "Curly, Larry & Moe Perform Silly Antics" (note that the names of the three stooges are in alphabetical order).
  • Interestingly, the molecules of most natural fatty acids have an even number of carbon atoms.
  • Since nature makes these long-chain acids by linking together acetate units, it is not surprising that the carbon atoms composing the natural products are multiples of two.
  • The following formulas are examples of other naturally occurring carboxylic acids.

• Special Considerations for Acquisition and Depletion of Natural Resources

  • Resources supplied by nature, such as ore deposits, mineral deposits, oil reserves, gas deposits, and timberstands, are natural resources or wasting assets.
  • Natural resources represent inventories of raw materials that can be consumed (exhausted) through extraction or removal from their natural setting (e.g., removing oil from the ground).
  • In each accounting period, the depletion recognized is an estimate of the cost of the natural resource that was removed from its natural setting during the period.
  • Then assign this total cost to either the cost of natural resources sold or the inventory of the natural resource still on hand.
  • Define a natural resource and how to properly account for its depletion

• Natural Rights

  • Natural rights are usually juxtaposed with the concept of legal rights.
  • Natural rights are closely related to the concept of natural law (or laws).
  • Thomas Hobbes' conception of natural rights extended from his conception of man in a "state of nature."
  • Hobbes sharply distinguished this natural "liberty" from natural "laws."
  • The most famous natural right formulation comes from John Locke in his Second Treatise, when he introduces the state of nature.

• Recoverable Reserves

  • Recoverable reserves are the amount of a natural resource present and their value is used to compute the resource's depletion expense.
  • Natural reserves supplied by nature, such as ore deposits, mineral deposits, oil reserves, gas deposits, and timber stands, are natural resources or wasting assets.
  • Natural resources represent inventories of raw materials that are consumed (exhausted) through extraction or removal from their natural setting (e.g. removing oil from the ground).
  • The natural reserves recovered involve several costs related to acquisition, exploration, development, and restoration of the natural resources.
  • Depletion expense allows a business to account for the reduction in value of natural reserves.

• Natural Logarithms

  • The natural logarithm is the logarithm with base equal to e.
  • The natural logarithm can be written as $\log_e x$ but is usually written as $\ln x$.
  • Just as the exponential function with base $e$ arises naturally in many calculus contexts, the natural logarithm, which is the inverse function of the exponential with base $e$, also arises in naturally in many contexts.
  • The first step is to take the natural logarithm of both sides:
  • The graph of the natural logarithm lies between the base 2 and the base 3 logarithms.

• Naturalism

  • Naturalism is an 18th century artistic movement concerned with the depiction of realistic subjects in natural settings.
  • In philosophy, Naturalism asserts that the laws of nature, as opposed to supernatural laws, are responsible for governing the universe.
  • Naturalism in art refers to an 18th century movement that emerged as a reaction to the Romantic art of the period and was concerned with the depiction of realistic subjects in natural settings.
  • Whereas Naturalism, as well as Realism, favoured direct, objective, realistic and moral painting.
  • Explain why Naturalism emerged as a predominant art form during the Enlightenment.
