ENVIRONMENT INCULCATION

XYRYLL ANN D. DE JESUS The term environment has always been widely used and has a very broad ranges of meaning, definitions and interpretations.

What does the term environment really mean? In popular usage, environment means, simply, nature: in other words, it is the natural geography or landscape together with all of its non-human features.

However, for other people, the term environment conglomerates human elements to some extent.

Many people would regard agricultural and pastoral landscapes as being part of the environment, others are yet more inclusive and regard all elements of the earth’s surface including urban areas as consisting the environment.

But in popularity of usage, environment is related with varieties of images and is bound up with different assumptions and beliefs that are always unknown yet may be strongly held.

All of these statements, have focal underlying assumption that the environment exists in some kind of relation to humans.

The effect that humanity is having on the environment is becoming ever more important. Because through our actions we are destroying habitats and endangering the lives of future generations without even knowing and being totally aware of it.

At this point we can never deny the fact that our environment is changing.

Hundreds of studies have been conducted in the entire world to prove that this is happening and it is having an effect on life around us.

However, many may not be aware of the particular issues that have led to these ch an ges.

Terms like “climate change” and “genetic modification” are common ground, but without additional information it is difficult for people to see why they actually matter.

A lot of these issues are linked to one another.

The only key is that they are all important challenges that need to be confronted.

Eventually, and its most literal sense, environment means surroundings, hence the environment of individual, object, element or system includes all of the other entities with which it is surrounded.

But in reality, these rarely exist in isolation, instead, they tend to interact to varying extents with their surrounding entities.

Therefore, It is not helpful to conceptualize the environment without including the relationship of one another.

Since people are but just reckless and rude to not consider the benefits of their wrong doings to our nature.

They are being blinded on the fact that what will they throw, will eventually bring back to them.
