Many times, we don't realize when see something with our eyes that our brain stores that information away... rather we were aware of what we saw or not. Often our brain stores and processes that imagery in a subconscious format after the fact. This can have some interesting spiritual implications.

Some people live their lives not realizing how their body works or how their world works around them. There are reasons behind our body temperature dropping; one will get sick because we need to maintain a certain temperature for our bodies to work properly. This is called regulation and how our bodies react to the environment through sweating to cool our bodies when its hot so we can maintain our body temperature. Another property associated with life is growth and development which is why organisms do not stay a baby forever with time they grow from a child to a teen to an adult. When a bird is first born they are unable to fly but through growth and development, they mature enough to learn the process of flying. In order for an organism’s bodies to work, energy is needed. The food they digest is turned into energy so that they can function properly throughout the day. This process is called energy processing. Many people become confused between response to the environment and regulation. Regulation is how organisms react to the environment that is what is expected to happen like sweating when it's hot which is an inner body reaction. Response to the environment is more

These represent a paradigm shift in scientific and social thinking: from viewing the world as a collection of unconnected objects to seeing reality as a nested holarchy of interacting systems. While the mechanistic worldview of our current system does not understand the relationship between human societies and the natural world, a systems perspective recognizes that our economies are subsets of their environments. The emergence of this holistic worldview creates the potential for the rapid development of a sustainable societal system.”

This point was helpful to me in showing that it is important to always question things and the origins of their existence, as well as to think outside of what we are socialized so that we may go beyond these social limits.

around you and in you. Understand the different feelings you have, the different sensations and

Defined as “the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally” life, as a whole, has been a controversial topic due to a variety of reasons such as religion, and the ever flowing shifts in science. Contrary to popular belief, an organism does not actually die when the heartbeats ceases. When human cells are cut off from oxygen, the oxygen and nutrition supply lasts for a surprisingly long time. The human

There are many mysteries of the vast fascination of the existence of extraterrestrial beings. Numerous people all around the world believe that the human race has been visited by life forms not from this earth. For many years now scientist from all around the globe have been studying and researching crash sites, crop circles, alien abduction victims, etc. Countless people are very naïve or blind to the fact of extraterrestrial life forms and do not want to believe that we aren’t the only ones, but in this paper there is backed up facts and amazing discoveries that will make those people believe otherwise.

It is continually moving and changing, yet it is always there. Life exists in everything, and though everything is continually changing, it still exists as one universe. Siddhartha realizes the circularity as he rows his raft across the river to find his son, who had run away from him a short time before. As he is crossing the river, he hears the river "laughing" at him.*

then, that by which something is moved is itself moved, then it, too, must be moved by another,

This means that in the history of the Earth, dissipative systems played a key role in the emergence of living organisms. In the increase of complexity, organisms became able to receive and respond to the information from their environment more effectively by developing sentience, and they could survive longer. In increasing survivability, organisms also generally become larger and energetically intensive.

Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory is made up of several systems that begin in one’s childhood and expand to bigger and better things through experience with adulthood. The first systems, being the micro and mesosystems, that play a psychological role in our lives that help us control relationships. “The microsystem consists of the people or groups that an individual has direct contact with. The mesosystem is created by the interactions between an individual’s microsystems” (Bronfenbrenner, Urie, 1993). The micro and mesosystems work hand-in-hand to keep the key people and relationships in each individual’s life interacting to produce a stable environment.

According to Frederic Clements, the vast majority of communities function as interdependent communities, which are the ones in which species depend on each other to survive. Moreover, he proposed that most communities act as superorganism. On the other hand, Henry Gleason rejected the Clements’s proposal about the superorganism metaphor and suggested that most communities function as independent communities, which are the ones in which species do not require each other to survive. In other words, he proposed that species with independent distributions describes most communities.

Important characteristics of terrestrial organism’s environment would be to have DRY land in comparison to an aquatic animal. Oxygen is very important to a terrestrial organisms , it needs to always be available to the organism. The environmental temperature of the environment is less stable than in aquatic ,

There exists in the created universe, a so called chain of being, that stretches from the creator into all that exists. There is a connection between even the largest objects fathomable in the universe, all the way down to the smallest particle on our own planet. Likewise, our soul, thoughts, the angels and the planets, our instincts, and our very human nature are inseparable from this cosmic order of being. We are eternally united with our creator, the universe, and to all beings in it. (Tillyard, 25-27)

1 Microsystems are one of the greatest influence levels of ecological system. First, the two examples am going to talk about are neighborhood and school system that I went to. There was no proper facilities that could help me reached potential achievement. There were no books, funds and teachers to encourage higher education for those who were in need. Also neighborhood where I was there was no children who went to school. The neighborhood was full with children who dropped out of school, so it was hard to do well out of those characters; however, this decrease my development.
