Article: Lives of a Cell

The article begins with a human, thinking he is superior than the rest of the Earth, looking down from a building.  I think human beings do have a superiority complex with nature and Earth.  While human beings think they are so much better than nature since we are the one that live in a technological enhanced and "superior" environment; however, it is unlike and quite impossible to separate ourselves from nature.  In the end, we must too realize that we are part of nature.  It is highly hypocritical to consider ourselves better.  Our metabolic processes in our body   to our genetic material that make us are all part of nature.  We are ultimately restricted by our own process within us; thus we should never become superior to nature.  Indeed, the cells that are in our body today are a combination of many organisms.  Theory states that cells have mitochondria because it engulfed a bacteria that contain mitochondria.  It is extremely critical for us to know that even the littlest part of our body is linked with nature.
