with negative energy and matter result in nothing. Negative energy is the concept that there is a region of space that is able to “contain less than nothing … can be less than zero”(`Negative Energy'' Solutions: Hole Theory). The law of the conservation of energy states that energy can not be created nor destroyed, only altered and that the amount of energy before a reaction is equivalent to the amount of energy after a reaction. It is hypothesized that the Big Bang had enormous amounts of…
The environment and climate have been controversial topics for many people. Environmental and climate damage have caused many societies in the past to collapse. Both videos lecture this week point out the need to keep the environment and climate safe and free from damage.

In viewing threats to biodiversity, its implications can be interpreted and understood through multiple facets of the perspective of Modernization theory, such as its cultural implications. The cultural relevance of issues such as the loss of species, resources and global warming are all greatly impacted by the opinions of the people and whether or not they view these issues as affecting their way of life. This can be interpreted through modernization theories’ attention toward the individual…
The current thinking of how we take care of the environment can be originated through major historical figures such as John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, and Aldo Leopold. These historical environmentalists have an impact on the foundation of Deep Ecologists and Eco Feminists. Each of them contributing their own representation of how to treat and protect the environment is being impacted in these groups of ecologists. Both of these innovators have major impacts on the fundamentals that both Eco…
exploit the environment. This focus on industrial actions creates a society that is separates nature from humans. With this separation, it is always incredibly satisfying to be involved with groups that are so dedicated to conserving lands for species to use. The project that I was so fortunate to work with was the MPG Ranch. This project allowed me to experience the actions of conservationists from a firsthand perspective in order to see for myself the value of humans with the environment. In…

achieve best results. Wildlife management includes practices such as game keeping, pest control and wildlife conservation. Soule (1986) argued that wildlife conservation purposes to avert the loss of biodiversity based on ecological principles such as carrying capacity, disturbance and succession. It also takes into account the physical geography, formation and hydrology of the environment. Two main types of…
In 1980, federal legislation known as the Superfund Law (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA) was created to help manage severe the environment contaminations, such as the Love Canal tragedy.(Justice, 2015; United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2016) In September 1983, the EPA listed the Love Canal on the Superfund Program’s National Priorities List and began to work with state…
