There are 4 lenses of the Liberal Arts. Social Science, Natural Science, History and Humanities each specializing in their own area of focus. The focus in Social Science is individual or group behaviors and how both can vary and differ depending on their settings or the environment they are placed in. The Natural Science lens is the study of living organisms. The focus of natural sciences is the physical and natural world around us. The History Lens is the study and focus of past events, forms of documentation and scholarly sources to understand history and how it correlates to the events and things taking place around us today. The Humanities lens focus is ethics, language, lifestyle, the arts of different cultures and backgrounds all around the world. All four lenses have types of evidence used to look through each lens. Social sciences methods and techniques rely on other primary sources to gather data such as journals, past interviews, diaries, etc. The natural sciences information is absolute. This is because theories are continuously tested to ensure that the data is accurate. The method used is the Scientific Method. History uses the evidence from past events such as newspapers, scholarly journals, artifacts. The Humanities method is studying the similarities and differences of all cultures by using a magnifying glass on things like literature, paintings, interviews. The similarities I noticed among the lenses is that most of them use similar methods of study and evidence just in different ways. The differences are the focus of study and the methods they use such as the natural sciences are more theory and scientific based opposed to the social sciences are more environmental and psychologically based.

The topic I am choosing is Climate Change. Over the years many things and concerns have been brought to my attention surrounding climate change. There’s not a lot I know about Climate change except for the fact that it is a very big concern and issue in the world today. So many different factors play apart in the climate change and not enough people are aware of it, believe in it, or care enough to really do anything about it. I know there is a big and consistent argument going on surrounding climate change and a need for more to become knowledgeable on the topic and figure out how we can help prevent it. The changes in weather such as having warmer weather in months that usually produce colder weather is a part of climate change as well as natural disasters occurring more frequently and randomly and in most recent cases being more severe than in the past well. My question, what are, if any the drastic changes in the recurring factors such as natural disasters and weather in the past and present and if there is a way to change or slow down climate change or are we too late? There has been a drastic change in climate change between now and the past. This is because of increased human activities and development over the years, has and continues to “warm” the planet. Though no one person can be the one to stop climate change, every person can help by doing simple things such as changing a light bulb, recycling, being more eco-friendly aware etc. Every little thing counts. The two lenses I chose to focus for my topic is the Natural Science and History Lens. The reason I chose these two specific lenses is because of their focus points in research and how they relate directly to my topic Climate change. The history lens is the study of past events and how it correlates to the events that are taking place today. The Natural science lens focus on the physical and natural world around us.
