Title Name Course number and Course name Instructor’s Name Date The Story of Noah and the Flood and Its Application to the Modern Society This story portrays the story of Noah and the Flood as exemplified in the book of Genesis. The city of Dubai, which is associated with modernity, luxurious lifestyle, and record-breaking architectural giants that rival the great pyramids of Ancient Egypt, is one of the essential meccas of the modern world, a place that few could have expected to confront a foe right on the street, among skyscrapers. Enormous and unceasing rains, a spectacle unseen in this desert city, began to pour into the city, turning its once barren environment into a flood of waterlogged streets and flooded neighborhoods. The downpour was not an isolated incident but a clear signal of the detrimental influence of climate change made by humans and the growing problem of urbanization that runs counter to the environment.1[Miller, Brandon, and Nadeen Ebrahim. 2024. “Chaos in Dubai as UAE Records Heaviest Rainfall in 75 Years.” CNN. April 18, 2024. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/17/weather/dubai-rain-flooding-climate-wednesday-intl/index.html.] One of the many characters caught during the evolving challenge was Noah Newman, a resourceful environmental engineer who had seen the impending threats to the environment through statistical analysis as they threatened to bring about a change to the city. Seeing how the city failed to adapt to the flood, propelled by the belief that such a catastrophe was impossible, Noah grew increasingly restless. With determination and vision, Noah embarked on an ambitious endeavor: building an ark of the 21st century, an emblem of strength, creativity, and promise in troubled times. This was not just the studied move to enable a survival option amidst a flood; it was the declaration of an ageless script of human intervention triumphing over the force of nature. This ark, named "The Haven," went way beyond the biblical connotations and grew into a living, sustainable dwelling constructed from recycled elements and run on renewable energy sources.[Jennifer Hauser and Kareem Khadder, "Dubai Faces Rare Rain and Flooding Amid Climate Change," CNN, April 17, 2024, https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/17/weather/dubai-rain-flooding-climate-wednesday-intl/index.html.] While initially ignored and undermined by the establishment as he continued to speak against the community's corrupt business and political elites, Newman saw his message of urgency and innovative rebuilding plan embraced as the floods went on and the losses accrued. While many critics once labeled it an exaggerated reaction, such a movement gradually transformed into hope and determination in the wake of ill-fated circumstances. The Haven embodied a new place where like-minded individuals could join the struggle for preserving the natural environment, where common ideals and a desire for joint action unite scientists and ordinary people. Made primarily from recycled and sustainable sources, “The Haven” is built with the sturdiest materials, ensuring that people and animals can find a home within it. It has several levels, but each is specifically designed to perform specific tasks to provide the best for its inhabitants and help them survive. "The Haven" also provides an opportunity to create the designated habitats and enclosures, which will allow the protect endangered species and a variety of animal types in general, thanks to which the threat to the so vital and unique species of fauna and flora, in the context of growing urbanization and environmental deterioration, will be minimal.[Hönes, Hans C. "Gandy’s Arkaiology: The Deluge and Romantic Climatologies of Architecture." Architectural History 64 (2021): 321-346.] Able to protect residents from disastrous storms, "The Haven" utilizes state-of-the-art engineering standards. The houses are constructed from buoyant materials and designed based on buoyant units to enable them to float on water like a boat during a flood. To navigate and propel the structure of "The Haven," the following essential staffing is recommended: engineers, navigators, and sustainability specialists. Driven by solar and wind energy in the form of solar...
