The Anthropocene<\/a><\/h2>

<\/p>\n

In the book The Anthropocene<\/em> by Christian Schw\u00e4gerl he mentioned that “loving and hating are primeval phenomena that are deeply anchored in our biology.” I somewhat disagree. The theory of opposites has been quite prevalent currently in my educational studies and comes up a lot during philosophical discussion. What I...Read More »<\/a>

\u201cReal Home\u201d<\/p>\n

Before watching the movie home, from my perspective all I imagined about h
\nome was the warmth of family and an apartment building in Korea. However this perspecti
\nve changed after watching the movie \u201cHome\u201d. The real home after all was this planet earth that billions of us reside...Read More »<\/a>

Waste and Recycling<\/a><\/h2>

March 5<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I went to the waste disposal station with my grandfather. This seemed so counter-productive to what we have been studying all quarter. There were a few things that it brought to mind while I was there. I did notice there...Read More »<\/a>

Discourse on Climate Change and the Future<\/a><\/h2>

I don\u2019t disagree that there\u2019s a problem with the way we talk about climate change, but I do think the problem is practically the exact opposite of what David Roberts discusses in his Vox article about climate change and millennia. Throughout my time in the Program on the Environment, I...Read More »<\/a>

From my journal.<\/a><\/h2>

This is the first entry in my journal for this class. I recently reread what I wrote and was struck by how nervous I was on day one. I may not be the most qualified individual to speak to some of the subjects we cover in class but it is...Read More »<\/a>

Journal Excerpt: Memories from Earth Day, 1987<\/a><\/h2>

The reading on individualization brings back memories from my youth when my elementary school class in Redmond spent a day planting trees and learning about Earth Day.\u00a0 While it brought awareness to our class such an activity really didn\u2019t make any sort of difference in our ecological footprint or that...Read More »<\/a>

Studying Abroad in Denmark & the Refugee Crisis<\/a><\/h2>

1\/13\/16<\/p>\n

Studying abroad in Denmark put me so close to the Syrian refugee crisis. In Denmark, it was hard to miss. Denmark is a highly homogenous country; it\u2019s incomparable to the United States. People in Denmark easily notice an influx of people who look different than they do. I find the...Read More »<\/a>

Monday January 11th, 2016<\/strong><\/em>
\nThis is my first personal journal entry in years! I used to keep a diary intermittently throughout elementary school; it was mostly about what boys I found cute and how many extra cookies I snuck without my parents knowing. Other than that, I have...Read More »<\/a>
