How Humans Affect Problems Of The Society

By Elves A Yates


We only have ourselves to fault for the issues we are going through at present. How did we generate these problems, and if we don't have them would our lives be better? Further, is there a way to address some of the impact we've had on the world?

If we factor humans out of the equation when we think about the world, what would we see? What would our society be like, without technology, cities, pollution, and hostility? Will we still be dealing with the negative effects arising from these problems? What are the issues we have power over, and what are the things we don't?

If I envision the world and it so happen humans are not in it, I see progress. Of course, there are events we cannot control and an example of this is what happened during the Ice Age. However, it seems that evolution would continue on its course, with survival of the fittest as the order of the day.

It sparks my interest to understand our accountability in world issues. A moment ago, I was made familiar with a great article on global warming. The author, Keith Raniere, explained about a funny little diagram that demonstrated how all of our problems really came down to people causing them. Are you able to see in your mind's eye dinosaurs participating in various activities to save the environment?

In our own way, it almost looks like we are the reason for the interference in evolution. Our qualities set us apart from other species and with these qualities, depending on how we use it, determine whether we thrive or deteriorate. Our capability to learn and adapt has enabled us to experience great heights and survive in ways people centuries ago could not have. On the other hand, with the problems brought about by our new discoveries and inventions, should we have given up while we are ahead? Looking at it from a long-term standpoint, how can these issues have an effect on us? With the hole we are in, how can we stop ourselves from digging deeper into it?

There are various individuals and organizations offering useful resources if you are interested in learning how to come up with ways to be more responsible, and have more joy in life. NXIVM and Executive Programs by Keith Raniere are just some of the organizations which assist individuals in discovering ways to think critically. If we have any intention of resolving the issues our world is experiencing at present, we should start by improving our critical thinking skills. The better our understanding is on what our roles are and how we can make a difference in reference to these issues, the more equipped we are in dealing with them.
