Mental images of other places and other people are always changing.
The topic of mental images or pictures has been one of great controversy among philosophers, psychologists, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists. Mental images have simply been described as the representation of the physical world outside of that particular person. They are perceptions of a particular event or object and in this case of other places, perception spatial, to represent a particular place out of where the person has been or read about, (Eysenck, (2012). By the use of maps and exposure to the outside world though, mental images of other places and other people are always changing. This has made people aware that we are all living in a shrinking world, implying …show more content…
Clearing of vegetation and cutting down of trees to make room for extracting the minerals from the ground to the earth surface has led to diverse effects such as erosion of the top soil as well as loss of biodiversity. People living in such areas also complain of earth tremors and other heath related issues such as asthma and problems with their hearing due to the noise of the machines in the sites. Oil drilling on the other hand has led to multiple consequences not only in the particular location where the oil is extracted but in the world. Oil spillage from the sites has been known to find its way in water bodies such as rivers and lakes, spillage during transportation is also a common phenomenon. This has not only led to water pollution but the death of aquatic life in the water bodies, (Paddy 1991).
The above are examples of land-use decisions that have been made in the past. Mental images of other places and other people have however, changed and is always changing. People are now aware that we are living in a shrinking world and from experience we have learnt that pollution in a particular location leads to the pollution of the world. Some land-use decisions have therefore been changed while others are being criticized and opposed to. This concept has therefore greatly influenced land-use decision
