Media Ecology Theory – One More Theory “You’ve got mail!” that’s right, I’ve got 66,483 emails in my inbox. That would be the current total in my Gmail account that I opened on 09/17/2005. Over eleven years of Electronic Era media history stored in my Gmail inbox – and during that time, various forms of media were born and became obsolete.

And the Theory also characterizes how these forms of communication technology help shape the lives of people and…

Nothing can stop the power people have when they come together. As we can see through the examples of social media, natural disasters, epidemics, team sports and ecology this paradox has the ability to transcend through many different disciplines. In light of this paradox and the human condition of self-awareness, it is important to be self aware of the connections we are making in this world even if we feel disconnected at times. It is through these connections and disconnection that people…

The main goal of the ecocentric Deep Ecology ecological movement is to end the dominantion and power relationships modern humans have over nonhuman Nature, and to set up realistic biological conditions under which the wild species and biodiversity of the earth can exist and flourish. The deep ecological approach to contesting Earth’s future is to distinguish between the vital and the nonvital needs of humans. The vital needs of nonhumans get priority before the non vital needs of humans. Deep…

are in an effort for total or partial conservation, which came forth in the late eighteen hundreds. The Conservation Movement, which occurred from eighteen-fifty to nineteen-twenty, was to act as an effort to protect America's wildlife, wildlands, and natural resources.

Invasive species, also called nature’s invaders, are a species that is not native to the environment it now lives in and is harmful to the ecosystem of that environment. They can be there due to a natural phenomenon, such as a flood, but more likely they were brought there by humans. Therefore, humans play a huge role in creating and controlling invasive species. An invasive species is able to cause the extinction of the native plants and animals, they multiply quickly and take a lot of the…

The worst development outcomes are found in the countries with the majority of natural resource endowments. “There are twenty-three countries in the world that derive at least sixty percent of their exports from oil and gas and not a single one is a real democracy” (Patrick). In developing countries, an increasingly important part of economic growth is the management of natural resources. This allows governments to deliver services to their citizens and it also creates jobs (“Creating Jobs”).…
