I went to the the
seminar of the state of the environmental humanities held in the Humanities
building in UCLA. It is a seminar which allow professional and also
participants to discuss the significance of ecology and raise the awareness of
people in society. I have noticed that importance of environmental impact that
human brings but I did not know there are connection with feminism, culture and literature as well.
This seminar illustrates the combination of different culture. They talked about diverse culture,
literature and environment. They also criticize the environment nowadays, which
affected by human activities. Basically, this seminar examines diverse issues
but mainly focus on our environment and ecology. The professional made the
point that environment actually connect with many other fields such as
humanism, culture and geography. I think it is very useful and crucial for
students to participate because new generation do not realize the importance
and impact of environment and they somehow destroy the environment and affect
the next generation. It is essential for them to understand what is happening
in our environment right now. Despite those are long terms impact, we have
to consider the influence in our next generation but not only our generation.
Additionally, the scholars also mentioned how politics connect with our
environment, such as policy that possibly protect or damage our environment. The
relationship between environment and others deepen my comprehension of the
issue in contemporary world. I very much agree with what they said about
environment and how interacts with other cultures and literature. I did not
know other fields would have so much impact and associated with environment as
well.
In my perspective, I
think it is very practical and meaningful because environmental issue is one of
the huge problem we have to face currently. Through the conference, I am able
to understand more about our ecology system and aware of the issue. I think
it's a good idea to learn something outside the lecture because real experience
can help people to get to know more about the thing you have to learn.
I do not get the chance to take photo with the staff so I just took the photo in the seminar to prove.
