This document discusses living sustainably and introduces the concept of ecological footprint. It provides 7 tips for living more sustainably, such as reusing items, recycling, using washing alternatives, traveling alternatives, sustainable house building, shopping locally, and being the change. The document encourages the reader to join the crew of a spaceship to live sustainably and provides information on what can be composted and how our planet's resources have been used faster than they can be renewed.
Dr. Manju Bhaskar discusses the ecological niche concept. An ecological niche describes a species' functional role and position based on factors like resources, predators, habitat characteristics. G. Evelyn Hutchinson described the fundamental niche, being all conditions a species can survive in alone, and the realized niche, being conditions after interactions with other species. Niches allow populations to persist by reducing competition and filling different roles in food webs and ecosystems. Understanding niches provides insights into community composition and species responses to one another.
The document discusses key concepts of permaculture including its focus on relationships between elements like plants, animals, and infrastructure and creating sustainable systems. It provides examples of natural patterns like spheres, domes, polygons, nets, spirals, cones, scatter, branches, waves, lobes that can be observed and replicated in permaculture design. The document also discusses the importance of maximizing edges or transition zones, Christopher Alexander's pattern language approach to design, and his perspectives on using light, color, kitchens, fireplaces, and chairs to enhance human comfort.
This document discusses habitats and environments. A habitat contains biotic and abiotic factors and provides resources for organisms to survive. Organisms are adapted to their habitat and may have even or uneven distributions. Ecologists study habitats using various sampling methods and measure factors like population sizes and environmental conditions. Feeding relationships between organisms in a habitat are represented by food chains and webs. Population sizes are determined by competition, disease, poisoning, and changes in biotic and abiotic factors.
Ecological niche refers to an organism's role and position in its environment, including where it finds food and shelter and what environmental conditions it requires. An organism's niche is influenced by biotic factors like availability of food and predators as well as abiotic factors like temperature, soil nutrients, and light levels. Earthworms are an example of niche construction, as they physically and chemically modify soil in a way that allows them to survive on land. Niches can be fundamental, representing all possible resources an organism could use, or realized, reflecting the niche an organism actually occupies due to competition. The competitive exclusion principle states that two species with identical niches cannot coexist long-term. Resource partitioning allows similar species to co

This document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology from Chapter 2 of Principles of Ecology. It discusses organisms and their environments, including abiotic and biotic factors. It then covers levels of ecological organization from organisms to biomes. Nutrition and energy flow are also summarized, including producers, consumers, trophic levels, and biogeochemical cycles like carbon, nitrogen, water, and phosphorus. Food chains, webs, and pyramids are defined. The document provides explanations, examples, and student worksheets to reinforce these fundamental ecological principles.
The document provides an overview of key events in World War II in both the European and Pacific theaters from 1937-1945. It discusses Japanese and German expansionism leading up to the war, as well as major battles such as Pearl Harbor, Midway, Normandy, Stalingrad, and Berlin. Key turning points included the US entering the war at Pearl Harbor, the Soviet victory at Stalingrad, the Allied invasions of Italy and Normandy, and the Allied takeover of Berlin. The document also outlines Japan's surrender following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The document discusses political ideology and parties in the United States. It defines the major ideologies as classical republican, classical liberal, conservative, liberal, and moderate. It then describes the two main political parties, the Republican Party and Democratic Party, and how they differ in views on the role of government in social and economic issues. It also briefly mentions third parties like the Libertarian Party. The document concludes by providing an overview of the current partisan breakdown of the federal government.

The document discusses different political ideologies like liberalism, conservatism, and libertarianism as well as the two-party system in the United States. It examines core beliefs of each ideology around the role of government and economics. The political landscape in the U.S. is also analyzed by looking at how states tend to vote more liberally or conservatively based on regional differences and the populations in urban versus rural areas.
The document summarizes different political ideologies in the United States, including liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism, populism, and radical/reactionary views. It outlines key beliefs for each ideology on a variety of issues like the economy, social conduct, crime policies, and national security. Liberals generally favor more government intervention in the economy and social welfare programs, while conservatives prefer less regulation and support for individual responsibility. Moderates fall in between these perspectives.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
Ideology refers to the ideas, values, and beliefs that shape a society and guide social and educational policies. While ideas may seem like common sense, they actually evolve over time. An ideology functions to influence people's behaviors and exclude opposing beliefs. Social science differs from physical science in that it deals with the complexities of human nature, behavior, and environments, which are always changing. Social scientists study all aspects of social phenomena and human life across different times and levels of development by identifying problems, creating research questions, gathering and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.
The document defines and describes several major political ideologies including anarchism, communism, conservatism, environmentalism, liberalism, nationalism, and socialism. Anarchism advocates for stateless, self-governed societies based on voluntary cooperation. Communism's ultimate goal is the establishment of a classless, collectively owned communist society. Conservatism promotes retaining traditional social institutions. Environmentalism concerns protecting the environment. Liberalism is based on ideas of liberty and equality. Nationalism involves shared feelings of identity within a geographic region. Socialism involves social ownership and democratic control of production.
Political ideologies as shapers of future tourism developmentStanislav Ivanov
Purpose. The paper aims to identify the link between political ideology and the management of tourism in countries. We stipulate that the predominant political ideology in the country influences the nature and logic of state interventions in the tourism industry.
Design/methodology/approach. The paper elaborates several case studies from various countries – Bulgaria, Cyprus, Scandinavia, Russia, USA, China, Japan, Indonesia, North Korea.
Findings. Countries with predominant (neo)liberal ideology do not typically interfere in tourism regulation, while nationalism leads governments to stimulate inbound and domestic tourism. Communist ideological approaches tend to be burdensome, inhibiting growth while stressing the promotion of the socialist achievements of a country. Countries that are traditionally thought of as social democratic have been evolving in recent years to regulate tourism in ways that are more liberal in nature than social democratic.
Practical implications. Political ideologies shape the acceptability of government support for private tourist companies, legislation in field of tourism, limitation/stimulation of inbound/outbound tourist flows. For the future we expect greater politicisation of tourism, active tourism ‘wars’ between countries, greater control of governments on populations, thriving nationalism, ‘aggressive’ environmentalism.
Originality/value. This is one of the first papers to discuss the impact of the political ideology on the management of tourism at the national level.
This document provides an overview of five major political ideologies: liberalism, conservatism, socialism, communism, and fascism. For each ideology, it describes their key tenets and outlooks, and analyzes how they approach the four functions of political ideologies: being explanatory, evaluative, providing orientation, and having a programmatic element.
Political ideologies have origins in the industrial revolution and enlightenment era belief that people could improve their lives through positive action. They provide goals for how society should be arranged and methods to achieve that ideal arrangement. The spectrum of political attitudes ranges from radical to liberal to moderate to conservative to reactionary. In Mongolia, the main political parties each claim affiliation with an ideology like liberalism for the Democratic Party or socialism for the Mongolian People's Party, but ideologies are not well defined and political attitudes are often shaped more by nationalism than ideological principles.
This document summarizes the rise of nationalism in several regions from the 1800s to present day. It outlines the key causes and effects of nationalism in Latin America, Germany, Italy, Ireland, India, Zionism in Israel/Palestine, China, Africa, the Balkans, former Soviet states, and more. For each region, it identifies the main nationalist leaders or groups that were influential in the independence and self-determination movements.
Political Ideas and Ideologies - Law & PoliticsFaHaD .H. NooR
Ideology is a controversial political term that has often carried pejorative implications. In the social-scientific sense, a political ideology is a more or less coherent set of ideas that provides a basis for organized political action. Its central features are an account of existing power relationships, a model of a desired future, and an outline of how political change can and should be brought about. Ideologies link political theory with political practice. On one level, ideologies resemble political philosophies, in that they constitute a collection of values, theories and doctrines; that is, a distinctive world-view. On another level, however, they take the form of broad political movements, and are articulated through the activities of political leaders, parties and groups
Every ideology can be associated with a characteristic set of principles and ideas. Although these ideas 'hang together', in the sense that they interlock in distinctive ways, they are systematic or coherent only in a relative sense. All ideologies thus embody a range of rival traditions and internal tensions. Conflict within ideologies is thus sometimes more passionate than that between ideologies.
1) Political theory and ideologies can be categorized into three types: empirical theory which describes human life in communities, normative theory which advocates certain ideals and values, and evaluative theory which assesses political systems.
2) Ideology refers to systems of interrelated beliefs about social, economic, and political life that focus on human nature, history, and socio-political arrangements.
3) The triadic model of freedom depicts ideology as having an agent, goal, and obstacles, and provides examples like liberalism emphasizing individual choice and conservatism emphasizing order and stability.
This document discusses political ideologies along a left-right spectrum. At the far ends are totalitarian regimes, where the state exercises total control over individuals. In the center are democracies, where the state exists to serve citizens. Moving left, ideologies include communism, which advocates for complete equality, and socialism, supporting social services, unions, and environmental protection. Moving right, ideologies include conservatism, favoring tradition, order and small government, and fascism, prioritizing nationalism, militarism and state control over all aspects of life.

Liberals favor individual liberty and equality of opportunity, support loose interpretation of the constitution to change with modern society, and believe government should address social issues through healthcare, education and welfare programs. Conservatives favor tradition over change, strict interpretation of the constitution, limited government involvement in social issues, and individual/non-profit solutions over government programs. The political spectrum ranges from left-wing views supporting heavy government control to right-wing views preferring limited government and free markets.
The document discusses the concept of secularism in India. It defines secularism as the separation of religion from the state according to the Indian constitution. It lists three objectives of Indian secularism as ensuring no single religious community dominates others, members of a religion don't dominate other members of the same religion, and the state does not enforce any particular religion or restrict religious freedom. It emphasizes that separating religion from state power is important for a democratic country to function properly and prevent discrimination.
The document discusses political ideologies and parties in Canada. It explains that political ideologies fall on a left-right spectrum based on their beliefs about freedom and equality. In Canada, most major parties are centrist, though some lean left or right. Federally, the Liberal party has dominated due to splits among right-leaning parties. Provincially in BC, the Liberal party also dominates due to vote splitting and scandals among left-leaning opponents. The ideologies and parties are defined by their placement on the political spectrum between freedom and equality.
The document discusses several forms of conservatism including liberal conservatism, conservative liberalism, fiscal conservatism, libertarian conservatism, green conservatism, national conservatism, social conservatism, cultural conservatism, traditional conservatism, religious conservatism, and progressive conservatism. It provides definitions and key aspects of each type of conservatism in 1-2 sentences for each.
The document outlines several different political ideologies:
1) Liberalism stresses individual rights, decentralized government, personal freedom, and reducing inequities. John Locke and John Stuart Mill believed in equal and independent humans with inalienable rights.
2) Conservatism believes in respecting past traditions and gradual reforms. Edmund Burke believed in a hierarchical society with leadership given to those most qualified.
3) Socialism and Marxism are based on class struggle and public ownership over resources for the benefit of all. Karl Marx believed capitalism could only be overthrown through class struggle leading to a classless society.
This document defines and discusses religious fundamentalism. It begins by defining fundamentalism from different sources and exploring the roots of the term in Christianity. It then examines different types of religious fundamentalism like Islamic, Christian, Hindu and Jewish fundamentalism. The document discusses the effects of fundamentalism, like spreading terrorist activities and violence. It concludes by noting that while some see fundamentalism as threatening modern society, religions generally do not promote war or killing except in self-defense.

Political ideologies include liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and anarchism. Liberalism supports an active government role in promoting individual welfare and civil rights through peaceful political change. Conservatism promotes a limited government role and favors traditional values, national security, and cautious change. The main differences between liberals and conservatives are that liberals favor higher taxes for social programs, choice on abortion, decreased defense spending, opposition to the death penalty, and bigger government while conservatives have opposing views on these issues.
Millions of albatrosses on Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean have been found dead after ingesting large amounts of plastic that has been carelessly discarded in the ocean. Autopsies of the birds' bodies show massive chunks of plastic in their throats and stomachs. The area also receives substantial amounts of marine debris containing lead, poisoning the birds. A documentary film called Midway highlights this environmental tragedy in order to raise awareness of the harm caused by human callousness and mass consumption of plastic goods. The film presents the stark reality of how human activities like garbage disposal contribute to environmental degradation and the deaths of many species.
The document discusses humanity's responsibility to care for the environment based on a transcript from Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth". It makes three key points:
1) We are not the sole basis for all existence - Earth is just one planet among many, and we must recognize other species' right to live.
2) Our survival depends on the environment as it is our only home, so we have a huge responsibility to care for it and ensure future generations can also enjoy it.
3) We are responsible for protecting the environment for future generations so they can experience the natural wonders we currently enjoy.

The document discusses the concepts of nature and the environment. It notes that all elements and living things in nature were created for a reason and that a balance must be maintained. It warns that if this balance is disrupted, there will be negative consequences for both humans and animals. The document encourages protecting the environment for future generations by saving water and planting seeds. It provides examples of historical wonders created by humans with nature's help.
The document provides a collection of quotes related to environmental activism and taking action. It includes quotes that encourage individuals to take responsibility for the environment, work to eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, and foster progress through peaceful means. Other quotes discuss the need to act in the face of injustice and evil in the world. The final quotes emphasize living according to one's principles despite external pressures.
The document discusses the concepts of nature, the environment, and humanity's relationship to the natural world. It notes that all elements of nature were created for a reason and that wildlife helps balance the environment. It warns that failing to protect nature will harm future generations and notes that humans are also part of nature. The document encourages drinking clean water to avoid disease and preserving water resources. It suggests planting seeds to help the future and giving something back to subsequent generations. Finally, it lists some of the Seven Wonders of the World as examples of how humans have worked with nature.
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. All the living and nonliving things in an ecosystem are interdependent and work together to form a functional unit. Ecosystems exist at all scales, from small backyard gardens to large biomes like the African savanna. When a new organism is introduced or a disruption like a fire or storm occurs, it can destabilize the ecosystem by disrupting existing relationships between organisms.
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. All components of an ecosystem, whether living or non-living, work together and are interdependent. Ecosystems can vary in size from small, such as a backyard garden, to very large, like the savanna. Disruptions such as natural disasters, foreign invaders, or new species can upset the balance of an ecosystem and potentially cause harm.
The document discusses the environment and humanity's relationship with and impact on it. It notes that the environment surrounds and affects humans, and humans correspondingly affect the environment through their actions. It then examines different ecological relationships like predation, parasitism, mutualism and commensalism. The document argues that humans have taken on the role of apex predator and consumed resources unsustainably. This environmental degradation exposes the Philippines to more natural hazards and hampers economic growth, making the country less resilient to disasters. It reflects on defining our proper role in nature and performing it well to reduce costs.
The document discusses the destruction of Mother Earth through pollution and overconsumption of resources. It notes that 110 million Americans live in areas with harmful air pollution, and that the US uses 30% of the world's resources despite having only 5% of the population. This level of destruction and selfishness is unsustainable and will eventually lead to problems like homelessness and starvation. The document calls for people to come together to heal the Earth and live more sustainably.

Biodiversity refers to all the living organisms that make up the web of life on Earth. High levels of biodiversity are important for clean air, food, fresh water, clothing, energy, and medicine for humans. However, human activities like pollution, overconsumption, climate change, and habitat loss are threatening biodiversity and causing a mass extinction. Conservation efforts aim to protect threatened species and restore damaged ecosystems, but protecting biodiversity will require individual actions like reducing waste, planting native plants, and choosing sustainable options.
The document provides a history of evolutionary thought. It discusses key figures and ideas that contributed to the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection, including:
1) Before 1850, most people believed that species were unchanging and each was created for its environment. Charles Darwin began to doubt this after observing variation between organisms on his voyage.
2) Darwin was influenced by James Hutton and Charles Lyell's findings that the earth changes slowly over time, and by Georges Cuvier's discovery that species can go extinct.
3) Alfred Russell Wallace independently conceived of natural selection. Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection.
This document discusses biomimicry and how nature can inspire more sustainable solutions. It begins by outlining the current environmental impacts of human activity and the biotic crisis facing the planet. It then examines key principles found in nature, such as how natural systems operate within Earth's limited resources. Several case studies are presented that illustrate how biomimicry has been applied to problems in various industries, including energy generation, surface coatings, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and construction. Overall, the document promotes consciously emulating nature's designs, processes, and ecosystems to develop more sustainable technologies and systems that respect environmental limits.
it is a presentation based on environment. in this presentation it is showed that what will be our future if we wll continue to waste resources like this only
This document discusses key concepts in environmental ethics, including:
- Technocentrism vs ecocentrism - the polarized debate around humanity's relationship with and role within nature.
- The land ethic proposed by Aldo Leopold, which argues land should be respected for its integrity and beauty.
- Utilitarian environmental ethics, which considers the interests of all beings affected by actions.
