Tragedy of the Commons” written by Garret Hardin explains how the human population is degrading the environment. When Hardin refers to commons he is talking about a resource that is owned by no one and used by a group of people. Some examples of commons include the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the oceans we fish. The tragedy is that people don’t look at the bigger picture; the over use of commons for our own personal benefit leads to the destruction or extinction of these commons. For example

unsafe things they do so that they change their lifestyle for the better. In high school, I began learning about common health problems in America. A lot of issues captured my attention.

This completely takes them out of their teenage years. I know a few teen moms and some of them are still succeeding in school and some of them aren’t. School is already stressful enough.

But every time I would see my RA he was always really nice to me and made me feel welcome. Also the events that he would throw
speech could be misunderstood. Coincidentally, the friend got up from the commons area and also went to the principal’s office only a few minutes thereafter. The two sat harmoniously sat together, doing the right thing.

Turning forwards, she thought about how she would tell her story once
