Ecological intelligence

Ecological intelligence is being aware of the way we use our planets resources today. Knowing that our planet is eventually going to run out of resources one day, and we need to use them wisely as we have them. It also has to do with the concept of "Going Green". This article relates to our project because it talks about ways to help the environment and "Go Green" and the main idea our project is to promote that. My ecological intelligence is definitely not very high up there, I would love to get more involved in activities in my community and become more "Green".

Urban Homestead

What really amazes me about this whole story is the fact that people can create kind of like a little farm in the middle of a urban suburb. The fact that these people are basically self dependent in our 21st century today. I think if the Dervaes family did a Wants Sheet they would have things like, more land so that they could grow more food and herbs. Another thing i think they would want is more tools for the garden so that they could be more time sufficient. I believe that more people in our culture today would accomplish things like that if they weren't so damn lazy.

My Ishmael #1

1. Ishmaels two general rules to identify our culture were, first we keep our food under a lock with a key. Second rule is that he believes humans and in “our culture” all are born fundamentally flawed. I do agree with what Ishmael said because, I have noticed that across the world there are still many successful cultures that don’t have food under a lock and key such as Indians, for this reason I agree with Ishmaels theory.

1. I don’t think that humans are inherently flawed. I think that our culture over the years has become very lazy and that is the reason for all of the flaws today such as, Global Warming. I believe that if everyone tired to help and if we worked together, as a culture we are capable of correcting our mistakes.

1. The takers are the people that are always wanting to do more work, always trying to take fate into there own hands. The dancers are more laid back, the are happy with what there work and settled with what they earn. This relates to the American culture because Americans never seem to be happy with what they have. They always want more and want the best of everything.
