Introduction to Nature
pages 341-343
"Nature" or "natural" have many different meanings and can be interpreted countless ways depending on what is being seen and who it is being seen by firsthand. Nature to me is any unaltered beauty of the world.
Cultures around the world see nature differently which creates different local and cultural interpretations of "nature" and how it pertains to their immediate surroundings. Some people worship nature, others rely on it for survival. It depends on where they live.
Today, nature has taken the role of what could be considered a victim of humankind's selfish greed. Mankind, now more than ever, has a great impact on nature. The two must coexist with another in order for each to survive.
