Debate about exploration

Do you want to argue? If so, you can give some advice.

First of all, your definition of adventure is still vague.

Exploration is an act, and its purpose can be varied, such as colonization, immigration, aggression and so on.

The16th century, when human exploration was the most developed, was also a period of great suffering for the colonial people.

The message is simple.

The motives of all explorers are not very pure.

To put it mildly.

The central idea is that they are not kind.

Some people think that the disadvantages are great. They think exploration is a meaningless adventure. It consumes a lot of time, money and even sacrifices many precious lives. Not worth it!

Accidents and dangers occur frequently-outdoor adventure is a "dangerous game"?

This year's "May Day" Golden Week is not calm: Beijing outdoor explorers were trapped in the desert of Inner Mongolia, and one person died; 3 1 Xinjiang's "donkey friends" got lost when crossing the ancient road of the auto market. There were 6 children in the team, and the youngest was less than 6 years old. Before that, 13 Tianjin University students were also rescued in the desert. ...

All kinds of accidents and dangers have caused people to think deeply about outdoor exploration: is exploration a commendable courage or should we do what we can? Is exploration to know nature or to exercise courage? In the face of danger, do you retreat from difficulties or go forward bravely to maintain your self-esteem?

Since Yao Maoshu drifted along the Yangtze River in the 1980s, people in China have quickly devoted themselves to various exploration activities. Compared with the activities of professionals before 10, exploration has become the hobby of many ordinary people. More and more people think that this is a fashionable and exciting game, and take adventure as a pleasure in life and even a manifestation of personal value. However, frequent accidents have sounded the alarm for adventure tourism.

The "donkey friend"-"the outside world" is one of 3 1 people missing from the Cheshi ancient road in Xinjiang. He is still haunted by the thought of the May Day trip.

He said that in order to exercise the children's will, he decided to take his 12-year-old daughter to participate in the "May Day" ancient road tour organized by a local outdoor goods store. He is still an "old donkey", who often travels with the club and has certain trust in the team leader Zhou Ping. But it was this trust that made him ignore the fact that his drought-striken fields didn't take the ancient road of Che's at all.

There are six children among them. During the four days lost in the snowstorm, several younger children cried with cold and their faces were burned by strong ultraviolet rays. During the rescue, some people in the team had frostbite on their toes, and three people got snow blindness, so they needed to hold their teammates' backpacks and move forward slowly. Fortunately, they were finally rescued safely, but Beijing tourist Xiao Gan was not so lucky. The news of her sickly death in Inner Mongolia made "donkey friends" all over the country cry.

However, such misfortune is not unique. At the beginning of this year, backpackers who died in the wasteland of Lop Nur were able to return to their hometown in the network of "donkey friends" all over the country; On the Sichuan route favored by "donkey friends", in May last year, a local Tibetan tour guide and a couple engaged in outdoor products were in distress while climbing Siguniang Mountain, and two of them were killed. On New Year's Day this year, two Shanghai tourists froze to death while climbing snow-capped mountains in Kangding. Rescuers found that they were wearing jeans and could not move easily.

Adventure travel has increasingly become a "dangerous game" for people.

Wang Tienan, chairman of the Urumqi Mountaineering and Adventure Association and known as "the first outdoor person in Xinjiang", said that from the death of Beijing tourists in Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia to the rescue of 3 1 donkey friends in Xinjiang, their common problem was blind self-confidence and underestimation of possible risks.

To some extent, exploration is the product of anthropocentrism. This concept holds that in the face of nature and its biological world, human beings can set foot everywhere, and as long as they can, they can "occupy the mountain as the king" and "insert the flag of Xinjiang" and take it for themselves. However, if we go beyond the thinking frame of "anthropocentrism", we can question: Is there no limit or restriction for human steps? As long as human footprints are gone, must they belong to human beings? Should it be dominated by humans? In fact, when the footprint of human exploration arrived, it was also the day when the disaster happened there. Isn't it? Humans fly into space, and the garbage in space has surrounded the earth; Man has climbed the "top of the earth"-Mount Everest, and the source of the Yangtze River has been polluted now. When human beings enter and leave the primeval forest, the "indigenous" animals and creatures there are disturbed and violated, and even destroyed ... Just as Columbus's exploration of the "New World" brought about the expansion of colonialism, today's "exploration" of human beings without self-discipline and restrictions also reflects the expansion of anthropocentrism. Science is a double-edged sword, so is exploration. Human exploration will leave dust where it leaves footprints.
