Subculture is a group of people that share common concepts, values, and symbols, and…

In hopes of constructing a better environment for Brownsville, a vital idea to consider is the touristic approach and veer away from the harmful industrial business, like the plans to build LNG plants in Brownsville.

Anthropocene. Technically speaking, the Anthropocene is not yet officially confirmed, but it is said to be the period wherein humans have risen to become the most prominent geologic force on Earth to the extent that the activities we do as a society over the past few years have disrupted natural cycles (Ruddiman, Ellis, Kaplan, & Fuller, 2015). In the Anthropocene, humans have immense power to shape the Earth and all the ecosystems within it (Ruddiman, Ellis, Kaplan, & Fuller,…

This past fall, over 40 leading conservationists came together…
