The paper will briefly show three researches done about weather and the relationship it has with people, in relation to their productivity to it. The point being bad weather does, as supported by Armitage C. J., Conner M. and Norman P. (1999) research, Denissen J. J. A,Penke L, Butalid L. Aken M. A. G. van (2008) experiments and mainly Lee J.J., Gino F.,& Staats R. B. (2012) research on the subject ,as well delving into the false belief that good weather can be a factor of productivity.

Weather In Relation to Student Performances: Bad Weather
Increases Productivity
When a student wakes up it is more than likely they take a peek out the window or check the news, to see the weather and from that the student’s brain neurons lighten up and the decision-making process begins and surges through to develop a practical way to dress, eat, and even study throughout the day. Weather is important for a college student therefore one would assume that good weather equals a good or better performance in a student than if the weather was ‘gloomy’ or bad; and it seems completely natural to conclude that, but what if this isn’t the case? Aristotle claimed that an object would fall faster due to its larger weight than an object with a lighter weight, but Galileo later proved him wrong. So by following the evidence and studies as Galileo had once done, the claim that good weather produces or helps a student might be hindsight and that bad weather actually might be helping and improving performance like Jooa, Lee, Gino, & R. Staats(2012) suggest. This paper will discuss both sides of it and the impact that it has people to determine if bad weather does improve than decrease performance to create awareness for a college student’s health and b...

Discussion
With a group of peers the consensus was that good weather increases productivity soon became clear it was incorrect and the survey by the group done only supports the claim of bad weather helps productivity. It further shows the belief of the misconception but with the research done it implies heavily that good weather does not increase a person’s mood therefore in the study done Lee, Gino, & Staats (Denissen J. J. A,Penke L, Butalid L. Aken M. A. G. van 2008; 666).
Conclusion
The analogy of Aristotle and Galileo reveal that experiments and research might not always lead to the conclusion of the based hypothesis but one must follow the evidence, in a way, to determine whether or not the based assumption, in this case, is true.

Various moral and physical environments can greatly influence the beliefs, ideas, and decisions people make. Our moral environment shapes people's surrounding climate of ideas, influencing how they live. Our physical environment is what individuals depend on, even though it is extremely fragile. Whether one admits it or not, atmospheres can affect everything that occurs in life, and can significantly change people's quality of life over the years. Understanding this concept in depth can be difficult. Furthermore, you might find yourself in a spiral of questions and concerns on how exactly these environments affect human beings. Blackburn's Being Good and Nottage's Sweat give exquisite examples and inferences on how we are affected from the
Having a connection to the environment could help a lot in seeing the subtle changes; therefore, it could really help in seeing any emergency that might occur. According to Frantz and Mayer, people who spend more time in the environment are more likely to notice the effects of climate change, and they are more likely to notice changes that occur in the environment in general. They also indicated that they won't only notice the changes in the environment, they will easily seek out information about potential environmental changes which is very promising to notice climate change as an emergency. They also mentioned that because of modern life people do not depend on nature directly for their livelihood and that's because of their jobs that require moving from a place to another, they won't have deep connection to a specific environment, which make noticing climate change really hard. Gifford, agreed with Frantz and Mayer in their belif that a weaker place attachment could be an obstacle to climate-positive behavior. He also wrote that if...

Climate, weather, and meteorology are 3 words that seem to be the same but in reality differ significantly. Two of these concepts pertain to the atmosphere but differ in what time and place they are studied in, and the last one is studying these concepts.
The changes in the quantity and timing of precipitation and the availability of water will profoundly affect people and other life forms. Ecosystems will change and wildlife behavior and habitat as well as crop yields will eventually be affected. Climate change will also have an impact on water-related economic activity – not just agricultural methods, for example skiing areas, may experience decreased snowfall, having an adverse impact on the economies of mountain towns and cities.
Currently, scientists are researching how the effects of climate change will impact our lives and the world around us. This paper discusses the effects of climate change and the impact on our world socially, which applies to people’s day to day lives and what they are putting into the environment; politically, which involves laws and regulations that try to keep our environment safe; and environmentally, which concerns the land and the plants and animals that inhabit the various regions.
Bio-Psychologists study the principles of biology as it relates to the comprehension of psychology in the field neuroscience that underlies ones emotions, ideology, and actions (Brittanica). Based upon the conduction of research, the relationship between the brain and ones behavior extends to the physiological process in one’s intellect. Scientists are cognizant that neurotransmitters function as a significant role in mood regulation and other aspects of psychological problems including depression and anxiety. A biological perspective are relevant to psychology in three techniques including: the comparative method, physiology, and the investigation of inheritance (Saul Mc. Leod).

Mood disorder is a condition in which an individuals’ mood is bothered. Such a disorder can affect an individuals’ demeanor, interaction and communication with others. As a result, mood disorders can possibly lead to the inability to complete daily-living activities. There are several types of mood disorders such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, dysthymic disorder and cyclothymic disorder (Rosenberg and Kosslyn, 2011). In order to treat such conditions, the individuals’ neurological, psychological, and social factors are considered and targeted.
Everyday you wake up in the morning and start making decisions. What you wear, what you eat, and what you do for the day are dependent on the weather. Climate is an important part of life, without it we would not have life at all. Native Americans experienced climate in ways both similar and different than we do.
Some people might doubt that sun exposure can affect someone on a psychological, but the facts cannot be denied. All data aside, you probably experience this on a daily basis. I conducted a survey to see how local weather affected peoples’ moods. 53 people, whose ages ranged from early teens to elderly, responded with very telling results. 69.8% of the people surveyed answered that sunny weather initially made them feel happy. On the other hand, only 21% answered that they felt happy when the weather outside was cloudy or rainy.

Peoples' lives are connected to the climate. A warming climate will bring changes that can affect our water supplies, agriculture, power and transportation systems, the natural environment, and even our own health and safety. The effect of climate change is undeniable. Although it's difficult to predict the exact impacts of climate change, scientist agrees that these changes are caused by the greenhouse effect.
