One cannot separate the environment from humanity -- ecological and systems theories are holistic.
Systems theory - This theory is an interdisciplinary practice that describes systems that have numerous spokes, or interacting components. The basic laws of thermodynamics (i.e. temperature, energy and entropy) work better for closed systems. Open systems, like living things, show different patterns and tendencies. However, we do not have the knowledge to know what changes may occur in the long-term based on subtle environmental impacts.
Diffusion of innovation theory - . The theory holds that diffusion is a process in which innovation is communicated through certain levels or channels over time and mitigated by whether the decision is made freely and who makes the decision.
Human impact on the environment then -- changes the system -- it is an artifact and thus in design and technology operates on a different set of laws than science.
In contrast to traditional science that searches for a one true law, environmental theory tries to understand the subject that changes and alters through and during the process of studying it.
Environment change has an impact on the range of future choices -- every change expands and restricts options.
There are numerous multidisciplinary implications to combining the theory of man the maker and man the responder -- mostly in the socio-political realm
The only way to bridge this gap is to continue to acquire data; synthesize that data into knowledge, and increase our abilities. Without this, future generations may not have the same opportunities as we.

Typically a Japanese funeral follows the sequence: when someone dies, they are placed to rest in their homes. The corpse was placed with the head pointing the North, copying the deathbed of Gautama, and the head of the bed is well decorated. Then the previously mentioned encoffinment process. The first night after one's death is called the Tsuya; and it is for close family and friends to remember their beloved.
Suicide Rates Among Geriatric Persons The causes of death among the elderly are traditionally associated with the normal aging process or what would be called natural process, diseases associated with age and the debilitations it can cause. Yet, other factors also contribute to the cause of death an individual might succumb to, widowhood, retirement, forced relocation, and/or loneliness especially around the holidays. (Huyck Hoyer 1982) Still other studies are making it
Aging in the Bucket List and Cocoon Aging and its natural consequence -- death -- are subjects that raise diverse emotions among persons involved in these processes. Some embrace these pivotal moments in life, some attempt to avoid them. The two films The Bucket List and Cocoon give examples of how different people deal with the issue of aging and death. This paper will examine these films from the perspective of
Aging Biological, Psychosocial, & Developmental Theories of Aging Biological, Psychosocial, and Developmental Theories of Aging Aging is a manifestation of events that occur over a span of time. This is not a uniform process, individuals' age differently, and there are major differences between normal, optimal, and pathological aging. As one ages the balance between gains and losses, such as becoming more intelligent and becoming less healthy, is thought to become less positive. Biological
society we seem to place research on the brain in high regard. In what ways is this sentiment positive for science and the care of humans, and in what ways might this be negative? Does neuroscience always hold the "best" answers? A way in which the focus on the brain is positive is that it is indeed true that the brain is really the "center of action" in a lot
COUNSELING Counseling: Social Justice and AgingPsychological Impacts upon Women Due to Gender-Based Wage Discrimination and Feminization of AgingCounseling is based on the provision of interventions that help sustain psychological well-being. The professional values have to be kept in line with the ethical values of the patient so that the therapeutic process is conducted smoothly for interventions that serve the best for the selected population segments for treatment.
