If people looks at human nature and had to choose whether or not, if humans effect the environment in a positive or negative way, many people would probably pick a positive. Some people feel humans help nourish the earth and learn ways to control and use natural resources. The environment is not just in a local area and people only take care of that area. The environment is not just there and have no solid purpose for everything else around the world. The environment is the foundation to life. Without the environment most people would not be able to live, learn, and adapt to surrounding. Human nature and the way people see the environment is important to everyone’s survival. Human Nature and the environment is more powerfully synced than most people are led to believe. Few people understand the importance humans have on the environment but some people have no idea. Human beings effects on the environment may have a lot of positive outcomes but there are four main negatives that human beings need to change including overpopulation, air pollution, deforestation, and extinction of helpful species.
First reason why humans in Today’s world has a negative impact on the environment and need to change is that the earth is being overly populated. Over population is when there is too many people living in a certain area and there is not enough natural resources to survive off of. Human population is growing at a rapid pace. There are roughly two hundred thousand people being born each and every day. In which adds up to one billion people to the world for every twelve years added to the population. When an area gets over populated, everyone in that area goes crazy because everyone has needs for survival and natural resources are getting ...

... negative impact on the environment and need to change. The environment is a beautiful thing and needs to be treated well. The funny thing about the environment is that people look at it as if it will always be here but in reality as long as they keep over populating it with new species, creating pollution, causing deforestation, and killing off entire species it will diminish. After natural disasters occurs and things begin to get extremely bad do people realize just how important environment really is in order to accomplish and receive all the nice things they want in their lives that mother nature can provide. Just remember the Environment surrounding everyone is the foundation to life. As long as people look at the environment with the knowledge on population control, air control, deforestation, and extinction they will become successful smiling healthy people.
Humans can not be the only thing that is hurting the Earth. When you really think about it, Earth goes through a lot of natural disasters, which cannot be controlled. According to an activist, Tim Haering, “Tsunamis, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, disease nature kills more than we kill each other.” Earth throws in all of these natural ...
Through our ingenuity and industrialism, we have separated ourselves from natural restrictions. Because of this progress, we have been destroying the natural cycles of Earth’s environment and continue to do so at an alarming rate. Humanity has become Earth’s infection, ravaging the world with our relentless expansion and over-manipulation of natural resources.... ... middle of paper ... ...
The Human Nature Approach to Communication applies to my NCA individual code because the NCA is ethical communication that is fundamental to responsible thinking, decision making, and the development of relationships and communities within and across contexts, cultures, channels, and media. Ethical communication enhances human worth and dignity by fostering responsibility. These guidelines are similar to Human Nature approach as to finding the good in the public process by collaborating on customs, ideas, and rights, promoting, and protecting the good of public decision-making.
Overall, humans impact the global environment in multitudinous ways whether positive or negative. While creating issues such as overpopulation, pollution, biomagnification, and deforestation they also intrude into many other factors such as environmental, social, political, and economic. Problems caused by society itself are leading up to solutions to fix these environmental problems and may also just benefit the world as a whole.
In “Shooting an Elephant” , human nature is the same as it would be in just about any story that we would read or hear. Human nature is no different in Burma than anywhere else in the world. In this story we see different degrees of human nature, from completely normal to in some cases extreme. This essay is mainly focused on peer pressure. “Should I shoot the elephant or should I not?” or “Will I lose face with these people if I don’t shoot the elephant?” In this essay, I will discuss the traits of the different characters.
Wanting to find a challenge and wanting to survive is human nature. The story “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell is not just a story about hunting. The story, “The Most Dangerous Game” is making a statement about human nature. Challenge, survival, and evil qualities of humans are shown in the novel. Evil has many definitions but, the one that is focused on in the story is having or exhibiting bad moral qualities or morally corrupt and wickedness. For example, trying to survive and keep living is part of human nature just like trying to find a challenge to satisfy one’s self and the evil qualities of humans.
Humans are the cause of environmental damaging things like acid rain and global warming. People also damage other species by killing them till extinction or causing things like oil spills that cause them to die. Why destroy the only place the human species lives on, instead people can spend their time restoring the planet and making it better, they can learn to coexist with other species instead of learning how to be the dominant and overpowering species.
Climate Change is an ongoing problem that continues to intensify as time goes on and not much is happening to change it. Material consumption and increasing populations are increasing the issue of climate change and ruining Earth’s ecosystems. Since the Earth’s population is growing and fast, people are using more energy and materials, which raises great concern. The human ecological footprint has grown so much over the past few years that it is almost irreversible if not changed quickly. Climate change is the most important threat to the Earth and many factors lead are to blame, fossil fuels, greenhouse gases, and carbon dioxide. It would although be ignorant to say that man has nothing to do with it, as the population increases, the need for natural resources, use of more fossil fuels, more waste is produced, the is more pollution which leads to the ozone depletion causing global warming and essentially climate change overall. Since man has the ability to cause such harm to the Earth, man should change their ways to reverse the damage.
According to the internet human behavior has a very big affect on the environment. Environmental settings such as air pollution, oceans, energy, or noise are all sources that can negatively impact the environmental quality and conditions. Our daily routines have a huge impact on the environment and we do not realize it. New laws that are passing and educating people will help a lot. People are being educated on how to use less water, use our cars less, how to use less energy, and even taking reusable bags when going grocery shopping because plastic bags are very bad for the environment. There are simple solutions that can help in getting started with these efforts. Every little step and effort we make in our daily routines count.
As these details outline, humanity holds an anthropocentric perspective in terms of the environment, only cherishing the environment when it is of value to humans, which has resulted in great deterioration.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said, “Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today” (“Population,” Internet). With the current statistics, Jacques could not be more accurate. Every second, 4.2 people are born and 1.8 people die, which would be a net gain of 2.4 people per second (“Population,” Internet). At this steady rate, the environmental health is spiraling downwards, and it is safe to assume humans are responsible for this. As the population increases, harmful effects on the land, water, and air also do.
The most obvious reason that the environment has moral significance is that damage to it affects humans. Supporters of a completely human-centered ethic claim that we should be concerned for the environment only as far as our actions would have a negative effect on other people. Nature has no intrinsic value; it is not good and desirable apart from its interaction with human beings. Destruction and pollution of the environment cannot be wrong unless it results in harm to other humans. This view has its roots in Western tradition, which declares that “human beings are the only morally important members of this world” (Singer p.268).
The environment today is not in a good condition, Climate change is evident, and oceans are getting polluted. Rainforrest's are decreasing in size due to deforestation and illegal logging. Animals are getting extinct due to the destruction of their habitats. Natural resources are being consumed at very large amounts, and get wasted. There are different ways these problems can be addressed, one option is environmental management. Environmental management focuses on conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats, and impact of humans on the environment. Conservation of natural resources is the smart use of the world's resources by humans, through this waste production is limited, and there will be less garbage in the world. By conserving
Many people assume that the environment is not in danger. They believe that as technology advances, we do not need to worry about renewing natural resources, recycling, and finding new ways to produce energy. They state that one person in the world does not make a large difference. In reality, each individual's contribution greatly affects our environment. Our natural resources are slowly disappearing, and we must work together to save them and the Earth from ruin.
