"We relate to the environment around us in different ways,with differing intensity,and these bonds have different sources" (Orr 193)
Being a person who loves the outdoors i always feel a connection to nature.I agree that you can relate to the environment in different ways and really feel that the ocean is what enviorment i relate too.Whenever I'm in the water my body takes over and my mind is at rest. All of my problems go out the door and the calming feel of the water makes me relaxed and connected to the outdoors.
"In varying degrees humans have always modified their environments.I am persuaded that they generally have intended to do so with decorum and courtesy toward nature-not all and everywhere to be sure but mostly" (Orr 188)
Growing up on a small island and watching it transform into a tourist attraction over the years really makes me disagree with this quote.In my eyes humans have always monied their environments but most of the time there is barely any courtesy to nature.Tearing down forests to build structures and buildings without relocation of nature is what i see. These animals are forced out of there homes and not given a place to live and thats why i disagree with this.
"And immediately ahead is the transformation of human consciousness brought on by the conjunction of neuroscience and computers in machines that will simulate whatever reality we choose."(Orr 190)
The future actually scares me in a way and these technological advances are a scary thought. All this technology and human advancement really shines on this quote. Being part of a family who likes doing things simple and old-fashioned it really makes my realize the future holds grey change.
