Environment And Social Environment

For those only weakly committed to city living, particularly middle-class people who have serious difficulty with social diversity and who have clear housing alternatives, the "problem-free" suburbs become tempting. After an incident such as a car break-in or a bicycle theft, a "last straw" can make them leave. (249)

When analyzing a case, it is very important to discuss the major biological, psychological, and social factors involved. It is important to pay special attention on how these factors intersect on one another and how this intersectional play affects the whole well being of a human. Robins, S.P., Chatterjee, P. & Canda, E.R. (2012) stress that “all systems theories are based on a holistic view of people that acknowledges the interrelationship between biological, psychological, social cultural and spiritual dimensions of behavior” (p.52). One must ask, why is this important? The answer is quite simple. The intersectional play determines whether a person is successful in life or not. In order for one to strive for success he/she must have motivation to create positive outcomes, which drives change. But what happens if one experiences negative intersectional play? His or her life tends to be full of distress, hardship, oppression, discrimination, and hurt. This is evident in Michael’s case.

The social ecological model allows individuals to identify factors affecting behaviour and offers guidance to create interventions through social environments. SEM accentuate several levels of influences: “individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy” (Glanz and Bishop, 2010) and it is also emphasizes that behaviour is molded by social environment (Glanz and Bishop, 2010). Above explained principles of SCT are similar with the principles of SEM, i.e. a supportive environment should be created first to promote healthy behaviors.

Ecosystems is the dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment that work together to form a functional unit and they are constantly changing due to the fluctuating equilibrium from natural stress and human action which has had adversarial impacts on ecosystems. This is evident in Minnamurra rainforest as human induced modifications and environmental stresses had resulted in a vulnerable ecosystem. Furthermore, the removal of factors that contribute to the vulnerability of an ecosystem is important as it affect the functioning of the ecosystem as processes are accelerated, biodiversity is decreased which greatly affects humans. Despite the negative effects caused by humans, they have discovered that ecosystems are susceptible from harm caused by natural environmental factors or human impacts and realised the importance of protecting and managing ecosystems therefore have implemented management strategies that are supposed to prevent further detriment and as a consequence may induce resiliency.

A lot of social factors can influence a person’s behavior and that person’s behavior contributes to large scale social issues. Take obesity for example. In the U.S. society obesity is a huge problem and the NCHS states that “more than one-third of the adults in the United States are obese.” Obesity can lead to an abundance of health problems as well, which is why many people exercise to avoid it. Therefore, obesity is a large force in society that encourages people to exercise. With more and more people

Social context is the indirect and direct influence of individuals that are in constant communication. It is basically a social environment in which people of different type lives. This environment influences the life of an individual and tells us how these people are influenced by their society i-e. a group of people sharing a same culture, tradition, religion or territory. It is all about how people of different classification differ from each other.

Has a neighborhood ever had a limit on choices made in the community or in the creation of the houses? Some communities have little to no involvement with other neighbors or have no activities to do with others. Other neighborhoods may have a HOA which could limit the freedom and creativity that some home owners may want. Lastly, neighborhoods may be located further away from shopping centers and residents may need to drive further to get food, water, and gas. In possibly the near future we may become more connected in our communities, have more variety in home design, and have better access to shopping centers. (5)

Neighborhoods are defined as a community where a group of people live and interact with each other. A place where children are born, raise, play, educate and where friendship also begin. In other words, a place which offers schools, church, library, museum, park, etc. where adults and kids meet and socialize. However, some neighborhood can affect your family either in the bad or good way. That is why where you chose to live actually matter because where you stay can be where drugs are sold, or where gangs and criminals commit a crime. In this case, scientific evidence has shown how neighborhoods affect families and children at different stages of life. Exposure to good neighborhoods increases college attendance, high graduation rate and decrease

When reading the additional reading assignment for Week Two on gang participation, I was not comprehending the information until I started reading the section on the social-ecological framework. Social-ecological framework means that the person that you are is a direct result of how you grew up.(Merrin, Hong, and Espelage 2015). Furthermore, the "environment" that you were brought up in influences the decisions you make now. Your environment makes you who you are (Merrin, Hong, and Espelage 2015).

Social context which has to do with the human environment such as a person’s role, preference, health, and occupational activity or interest. For instance, some people select task and activities like going to the gym to put them in contact with a social network along with maintaining their well-being.

Social environment – The cultural patterns, values, beliefs, trends, styles, preferences, heroes, villains, and conflicts that form the reference system of people’s behavior. These may include the effects of national cultures, individual ethnic cultures within a country, and various social segments such as teenager and people with various lifestyles,

How often do you think about how your actions affect the environment around you? Human Environment Interaction is the impact the ecosystem has on human, how keeping the environment safe is good for our essential well-being, and how our values and and knowledge of the environment affects us. Equally important, is how any type weather affects us on what we wear, what crops we grow and how they grow, and what types of activities we partake in that day. In addition, how different environments of places cause what people do in those places, how people act or are, how the weather is compared to other places in the world. Although people may believe that cutting down trees may not be harmful to them and nature, the correlation between human lifestyle and nature is important to both sides since it creates oxygen that we breath, and we use important goods from the environment to create homes and communities, it is also important since the weather helps us grow crops and plants.

You are right if you wonder where I got my title from. For sure I stole the title from one of my foremen at work. It was Wednesday, August 9, 2017, and it was during lunch break around noon. Five of us: a foreman, three other coworkers, and I were in the truck listening and singing to a country song. Suddenly the foreman Mr. Cody Alvey being curious, asked “Gui, you know country music?” sandwiched between two co-workers at the rear seat of the truck and to my left was my friend Travis who responded, “Gui goes to the country club (club rodeo) a lot.” To make things sound a little different, I responded: “I was a member of the Wichita Swing Dance Society, where I swing

In this paper, I have selected water, one of the material cycles studied. It is not conceivable of life without water. Inquiry after inquiry to find another life on other planets is premised on the notion that if scientists can find signs of water on any planet in our universe, then there is the possibility of life, such as mars.
