“We put the word “media” in front of the word ecology to suggest that we were not simply interested in media, but in the ways in which the interaction between media and human beings gives a culture its character” (Postman, 2000). Media ecology can be defined as the study of different personal and social environments created by the use of different communication technologies (Griffin). While we as a society tend to have trouble understanding the way the media works as an environment because we are

Sozology and Ecophilosophy: Sciences of the 20th Century ABSTRACT: This paper contains a synthesized profile of sozology and ecophilosophy, sciences of the end of the 20th century. Sozology is defined as the science of the systematic protection of the biosphere from the destructive effects on it from the anthroposphere.

Adverse Impacts of Landscape Fragmentation on Biodiversity Landscape fragmentation can impose devastating and irreversible consequences on the biodiversity of ecosystems. Because of the conflicting interests between ecology and human economic benefit, it has become increasingly important to find solutions for a harmonic balance. It is imperative for people to recognize the impacts of biodiversity loss and increased extinction of many species. These impacts must be understood in order to protect

With the prevalence of global environmental crisis resulted from rapid development of science and technology, political filed has responded to the issue by issuing some policies; social field has responded to the issue by organizing some activities to evoke the public’s environmental consciousness.

When many people hear about the term “landscape”, they immediately think that it means “nature”. The natural landscape does play an important role in our society but what is more important is the landscape that we make and occupy. So, what exactly is “landscape”? The term can be illiterate in many ways but the definition given by the European Landscape Convention is perhaps the most useful and widely agreed one. It states that a landscape is ‘an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the
The Need for Environmental Ethics “Unless humanity is suicidal, it should want to preserve, at the minimum, the natural life-support systems and processes required to sustain its own existence” (Daily p.365). I agree with scientist Gretchen Daily that drastic action is needed now to prevent environmental disaster. Immediate action and changes in attitude are not only necessary for survival but are also morally required. In this paper, I will approach the topic of environmental ethics from
“While history may have been a dead tradition, tradition remains to be a living history”. To achieve a clearer path to a better understanding of the environmental (E) disaster taking place in science and technology, with the help of accounting is available. Accounting is a technical which is very important in all aspects of the environmental economics and management. Although it is somewhat remarkable that governments have imposed strict rules, but with a sense of responsibility felt in the minds
Life is a sequence of experiences. A culture is a compilation of many different individual experiences combined to form one collective experience. Cultures form to match what people experience in their environment. This is why cultures differ between every segment of society. Cities have separate cultures, towns have separate cultures; even households have cultures that separate them from other households. When multiple people live together their collective experience defines who they are as a group
After completing the ecological footprint quiz, I found out that it would take about four Earths in order to sustain the human population if everyone how I do. In addition, I heard others whose results were much worse than mine, but the thought the one world I live in isn’t capable of sustaining my standard of living is intimidating. Through trips, class conversation, and readings, I have been able to identify the different areas of sustainability and which of these I need to improve. This way my
The concept of sustainable development was introduced by Brundtland Report in 1987 (Williams, Wilmshurst, & Clift, 2011) while emphasizing our common future that recognize to protect the earth to save the humanity from manmade destructive activities(Krechovska & ProchazKova, 2014).

This book gives the history of both the world and the environment and serves as an introduction to environmental history. It goes on further to highlights the importance of social justice, the degradation of the environment and
According to Miller and Spoolman the three principles of sustainability are solar energy, biodiversity, and chemical cycling (2010, p.5). Solar energy is the perfect energy because the sun always shines. Everyday we rely on solar energy so why not make solar energy work to our advantage. I can apply solar energy to my lifestyle by having items like solar panels installed on my home. With solar panels I will be able to generate my own clean energy therefore decreasing my reliance on the fossil
Sandra Garcia Professor Lauren Bond English 101 22 September 2015 Sustainability The term “Sustainability” has many definitions. The most basic definition of sustainability is the capacity to continue or keep moving forward. A thing that is sustainable can be repeated, reused, or recycled because it still has resources to keep creating it. There are what are called the “three pillars of sustainability.” The three factors that true sustainability depends on is social equity, environmental preservation
