Humanity= that which lies outside the individual human being. Nature= rural and nonhuman world, two way interaction between human and nature. This has consequences : (ie; after industrial revolution, population increases) ** this course is all about interconnected problems (ie; within the natural and human world) : there expanded from local to global therefore we need interconnected solutions.
