Relationship Between Societies Of Today And The Environment

Today, because of the rapidly changing and interconnected world in which we live, our youth need a more holistic view of the world around them. This includes understanding the natural, physical environment as well as the social constructs of society, economics and governance. Education must help students develop styles of thinking, attitudes and skills to create a just and sustainable future for all.

The pursuit of knowledge helped me love books and which brought me to Creighton University. Since my childhood I was eager to learn as much as possible, specifically the environment. I was fascinated about wildlife and how beautiful it looked. Being a native from Nairobi, Kenya; I was able to go to the safaris and learn about the different animals. These are the memories which I vividly remember and keep close to me. When I went back many years later, I was disappointed to see how my city has changed. This was disheartening because the city didn’t change for the best. This caused me to go for a minor in Sustainable Energy. The Energy department at Creighton is being cut back on and is limiting our class options to learn. Northeastern University

Everyone forges their own path, backed by their passions, hopes, and aspirations, and for now, my academic goal is to gain knowledge, further passion, and cultivate care. Looking back, I know that my childhood has impacted how I see the world. I grew up with the natural world at my fingertips, spending most summers outside. As I’ve grown, so has my love of the natural world. I have learned about a few of the countless injustices happening around the world, and if I could to anything to better conditions either domestically or internationally, that would be enough. The constant news reports and media coverage of terrible outcomes, people getting injured or killed, thousands of acres of land getting destroyed, all because we humans indirectly or directly caused a natural disaster are no longer shocking because of their frequency. We need more people studying our impacts in every possible way, small scale and large scale. Environmental issues are becoming one of the largest problems of our generation, and I’m not going to sit out for this battle. I want to pick up a sword and fight for what I

Being an environmental science students will allow me to continue acquire and share my knowledge and experience, coming from a country that is still deeply struggling with social, political, and economic problems. I could sense it the humanity of the academic and professional community, as if it were a parent, nurturing its child scholarly. Right now, I am that child determined to pursue a dream in spite of multiple past challenges, persevering in seeking ways to better my life, to challenge the status quo and the world around me.

The environment is important to protect considering that people live and breathe in the atmosphere it provides. Investing time in activities that protect the environment hasn’t always been a priority, but as greenhouse gas emissions, the use of energy, and other harmful impacts on the environment increased, individuals began to speak up on what should be done. As the world’s population continues to grow exponentially, the impacts society produces will in turn continue to increase unless something is done about it. Although the idea of an environmentally sustainable community has remained on the minds of the concerned public throughout the past decade, as companies and universities became more invested in the idea, new ways of taking action and implementing policies were developed and pursued.

Along with my love for the environment came a pain in watching it suffer around the world as human development encroached onto once untouched regions. I felt powerless and desperate to somehow use my individual influence, no matter how small, to slow the damage to the planet and lessen the impact a growing population was having as we dive deeper for resources.

The first challenge in this essay is to shift the way people think about some of the biggest environmental problems that are affecting humanity in a global level, rather to see them as independent and isolated problems to view them as a whole, as a part of a system and as a consequence of other different problems that are being faced in other parts of the world.

Lately, I have been asked to participate in the local event focusing on environmental issues. The general idea behind projects like that is to be aimed at people who grapple with the problem of an ecological unawareness. Whereas the purpose is worthy, the involved have to face a common

Education has long been around and is a important aspect to the American culture with many kids starting school at the age of 4 and going till they are graduated at the average age of 18 years old. Many of these students then continue on to college and specialize within a field of interest to them. In grade schools, many have recycling drives and talk about the impacts of one’s global footprint. Anna’s response towards education was, “school helps teach us how to lessen our impact on the environment by teaching us about renewable and nonrenewable resources, through programs such as Earth Day and Arbor Day”. As these students continue to get older they may choose a study that is outside of the general interest of the environment. Where as Max took to studying about the environment in college.

I have always been fascinated by the complex relationship between humanity and their environment. Our home, planet earth, faces future consequences because of our actions, or lack thereof. After discovering my passion for environmental stewardship, I have decided to commit to a conscious lifestyle. Because of this decision, I plan to study environmental science in college where I hope to develop my knowledge of our planet and catalyze my passion into action for the environmental movement. At college, I hope to gain a distinguished education and catalyzed passion. The most important reason why I wish to attend college is to gain a greater understanding of our home and how human activities affect it. Therefore, I can achieve a strong foundation to support my efforts towards a sustainable environment. Additionally, I hope to catalyze my passion for the environment through student organizations and events. One of the

“Understanding sustainability as a holistic perspective from which to view the world allows us to recognize the interconnectedness of all things. This perspective leads to a critical examination of our role in society and the complex and evolving relationship between environmental, economic, and social issues. We realize that our success and happiness depends not only on ourselves, but also on our community and surroundings. As a student initiated and consensus-based group, the Sustainability House at Barrett seeks to act as a support community for integrating sustainability into the lives of its

As I progressed through the courses of the sustainability minor, my mindset began to shift to

The connection between society and Environment is very crucial. However, to be able to understand the connection between the two first it is important to understand what the two terms mean individually. A society is a group of people involved in a social interaction and the deeper study of society, human behavior and related concepts is called sociology. Furthermore, Environment is our physical and biological factors along with their chemical interactions which affect an organism or a number of organisms.

This essay will review two significant environmental experiences I have encountered exploring the influences of these my life and how these have altered my view on what is environmental sustainability. An examination into these two experiences will follow into reviewing my perspectives on environmental sustainability and how these two experiences influenced this. To conclude a discussion on my role as a teacher and how this will impact myself when in the classroom.
