Ch. 24 (Strayer, pp. 747-755) Response


This section of the book focuses on issue of the world’s environment and the globalization of environmentalism. Environmental issues have spiked recently as we have become more aware of how we can alter the natural order of things. Some important factors of this include our huge rise in population, our use of energy resources, and economic growth. I agree to a degree, I can’t say our economy is doing all that well in terms of growth at the moment, but I do see how it has grown since modern technologies and science had risen. Global warming is huge issue to be concerned with in terms of environmentalism and it is shocking to think that there are people out there who still say that global warming is a myth. Environmentalism is still fairly new to the world, and though there is still a lot of conflict and issues even between people who are environmentalists, it is a movement that is already seen as being a common goal for the majority of the world.
