consumerist societies could indeed harm the environment‚ contribute to global warming and deplete resources at a higher rate than other societies. As a matter of fact‚ according to the Carbon Trust‚ 42% of the average carbon footprint is made up of recreation‚ leisure‚ clothing and food which nowadays require heavy industrialization. Likewise‚ other ecological economists such as Herman Daly and Tim Jackson recognize the inherent conflict between consumerism and ecological degradation. Furthermore‚ at the

The Ecological Model views the child as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment. This model can applied on all levels for the classroom I observed. The microsystem is the innermost level of their environment‚ it consists of activities and interaction patterns in the child’s immediate surroundings. For a child in this classroom‚ their microsystem can be composed of teachers‚ classmates‚ and parents. For example‚ one child falls

In the Succession Lab‚ we observed a community in a ecosystem. As we recorded the data each class‚ we observed that succession takes place with rapid speed for in each observation‚ a new specimen is identified. A niche is how the organisms live‚ what their role in the community is. For example‚ an ecological niche is how a certain organism reacts to limited resources

Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory and Family Ecological Model can be used to talk about alcohol and substance abusing parents and their children to demonstrate the bi-directional influences between the parent’s alcohol or substance abuse and the system’s in the family’s environment. This theory views families and their surroundings as a family ecosystem in which the family or an individual are influenced by the “systems” in that environment and the family or individual’s interactions with the systems

The results of my ecological footprint quiz were that I was living an ecologically conscientious lifestyle‚ and I would need only 0.52 Earths. My highest consumption had been in the food footprint. I also noted that I had a really high travel distance annually‚ which was at approximately 5‚000km‚ due to a long travel to and from my university. I believe that the results reflect my lifestyle. I would say that I am pretty "eco-friendly." When I go grocery shopping‚ I bring my own bags instead of using

According to nationally representative survey of adults‚ “37.4% of female rape victims were first raped between ages 18-24 (Black et al.‚ 2011 as cited in CDC‚ 2012). To address the sexual violence and reduce the rates among a college-age population‚ a social-ecological model might be used to create potential preventive strategies.

I. Ecological Distribution P. volitans is a tropical marine species‚ usually found along the forereef in its native Indo-Pacific region. They spend their days hiding in rocky outcrops or caves‚ and emerge at night for feeding (Fishelson 1975‚ 637). In their native region‚ they are near-shore fish but in their invasive region og the western Atlantic and Caribbean they are found further off shore (Kimball et al. 2004‚ 270).
