Chapter 1. Philosophy and Fundamental concepts
In this chapter, we discussed the five fundamental concepts of environmental geology: human population growth, sustainability, systems and change, hazardous Earth processes, and scientific knowledge and values.
One interesting analogy for Earth is the Gaia hypothesis, which proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings to form a synergistic, self-regulating system that helps maintain and sustain conditions for life on the planet.
Now my question is Do you think the Earth is a living organism? Why or why not?
I understand that many students use generative AI to assist with homework. While AI is undoubtedly a valuable tool for providing information, I believe that human judgment and analytical skills surpass what AI can achieve. My hope is that these assignments will help develop and strengthen your critical thinking skills.

- In this course, we examine how social, economic, political and cultural processes transform relationships between people and the spaces they inhabit. Globalization is one of the key processes shaping human geographies in the 21st century. Although globalization operates at a planetary scale, its effects are felt in the spaces and routines of daily life. For this assignment, you are asked you to observe and analyze how globalization manifests in your own everyday experiences. Objectives • • Apply core geographic concepts of place, space and scale • Identify concrete examples of how global processes shape local contexts • Develop skills in observation and analysis Instructions 1.
