Document Summary
Ecology and economy are interdependent aspects of the same thing. Culture can be out of touch with reality. Ecology=study of the household/interdependent interactions of living and. Interconnected representations are tenacious, hard to change non-living things. Study of how different species of animals and plants need each other to survive. Economics=naming the household/how people produce, distribute and discard things, including the thing they want and need. This is because the source of the things we want and need is the environment. The environment in which people live include all of the living and non-living things that"re interacting=household. This means that people aren"t separate from our environments. We think of the environment as the stuff that"s around us, as opposed to us. But we are in fact part of the environment. Humans are an interconnected and interdependent part of the environment. So what we do to the environment we do to ourselves. This perspective is made clear by the study of ecology.
