My Point Of View Of Nature

Recently, I wasn’t really interested about global warming and what would happen to the world. I didn’t even know much about what was going on with the world till today. After learning how the climate is changing due to the society’s actions, I now think that global warming is a huge issue that the world should worry about. With new technology being invented that deals with gas or factories, global warming frightens me in a way that there is no way to stop climate change from happening. Instead, everyone will now panic in the last minute then they should have thought of thinking about climate change since 1990.
According to Mark Maslin’s book “Your Viewpoint Determines the Future”, before caring about global warming, one of the categories that I best fit in was “Fatalists”. Mark Maslin stated “They are resigned to their fate and everyone else’s, and see no point in trying to change it.” (Maslin 40) The reason why I relate myself to Fatalists ephemeral is because I did not care about the world itself. In other words, I wasn’t interested in what the world would lead to due to the Earth getting warmer yearly. I only cared about my actions, but at the same time, I didn’t care what actions I made that affect the world. I believe that there are others that also don’t care about their actions that affect the world because if they did, there wouldn’t be no climate change happening. As a whole, the world fits in “Nature ephemeral”, which is “fragile, precarious, and unforgiving.” (Maslin 37) With the Earth being torn down yearly by society’s actions, humans believe that their actions are not relating to global warming.
Having changing up my mind about climate change, I now change my thoughts of climate change and fit in the category “Individualists”. Mark Maslin stated that Individualists is “self-made people relatively free from control by others.” I believe that I will now think more on what is going on in the world. Meaning if the world gets affected even more, I see try to avoid those type of actions that affects the world.
