Fiji has generally been thought to have been settled between 2000 and 1000 BCE. More recent work suggest that the first settlement may actually be even earlier, possible as early as 8000 BCE. It is typically thought that Austronesian peoples first migrated to Fiji followed about 1000 years later by Melanesians. The Tu'i Tonga Empire included Fiji from within in the 10th century until its fall in the 13th century.

All creation has a place and an order made by God, and we should keep it that way. This includes keeping invasive and exotic species from causing other species to go extinct. As a Christian, one of the easiest things I can do to help stop the spread of invasive species is pray. I can pray for the people that are figuring out ways to stop it. I can pray that others would help in the fight against invasive species. And I most definitely can pray that the invasive species would just stop spreading. As Christians, God told us to rule over every living creature. That means that it’s our job to

Not only is stewardship one of the basic issues discussed in scripture, but it’s also something we neglect as something we need to concentrate on while going through our own Christian walk. We live in a society that is very individualistic, concentrating on whatever will bring pleasure and make us feel good. Stewardship definitely doesn’t fit into the way society is today.

I agree with Roger Scruton’s view that our responsibility as humans to take care of the environment comes from our love of home, and that we need to take responsibility of our actions in order to protect our future generations. First, I will explain Roger Scruton’s view regarding humans’ role toward the environment, the nature of the human person, and the connection of the human person and their relation to the rest of the environment, what he believes is false, and problems he sees in in those views with respect to caring for the environment.

Lastly, I will construct my own argument in objection to Scruton’s, and a possible response to this objection.
