INTERACTION BETWEEN MAN AND ENVIRONMENT

Slide 1 : A HUMBLE PRESENTATION FOR A NOBLE CAUSE Dr.S.K.M.SASTRY SWAGATAM INTERACTION BETWEEN MAN & ENVIRONMENT

Definitions : Definitions INTERACTION: Having effect on each other ENVIRONMENT :The complex of social and cultural conditions affecting the nature of an individual or a community.i.e. (All physical,social and cultural factors and conditions influencing the existence or development of an organism ) MAN: A member of the genus Homo, family Hominidae, order Primates, class Mammalia, characterized by erect posture and an opposable thumb, especially a member of the only extant species, Homo sapiens, distinguished by a highly developed brain, the capacity for abstract reasoning, and the ability to communicate by means of organized speech and record information in a variety of symbolic systems.

Pollution : Pollution Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms they are in. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances, or energy, such as noise, heat, or light energy. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. The act of spoiling/harming/contaminating the purity.

Pollution : Pollution Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common gaseous air pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Photochemical ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight. Particulate matter, or fine dust is characterized by their micron size PM10 to PM2.5. Water pollution, by the release of waste products and contaminants into surface runoff into river drainage systems, leaching into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharges, eutrophication and littering. Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE[9], herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Radioactive contamination, resulting from 20th century activities in atomic physics, such as nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons research, manufacture and deployment. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.) Noise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar. Light pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference. Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash or municipal solid waste. Thermal

Slide 5 : Chemical:gases,fumes,acids,alkalis,dust,minerals,metals etc. Political:wars ,anti social activities. Biological:bacterial,viral,helminthes,rodents and animals. Mechanical:injuries,accidents. Physical:heat,cold,pressure,radiation,air,water,light,noise etc. Occupational:stress,systemic diseases to specific pollutants. Socioeconomic:poverty,bad habits,smoking, alcohol addictions. Climate: earthquakes ,cyclones and fires

Oh! Terrible!! : Oh! Terrible!! Mental and Moral corruption and adulteration are few more examples of violation of nature's harmony. *The basket of fruits of science and technology is exhibiting more and more poisonous fruits and even the sweet fruits are turning sour

Slide 9 : HORRIBLE… INTOLERABLE…. UNBEARABLE…. I WOULD THROW 0FF THIS EARTH FILLED WITH POLLUTION FROM MY SHOULDERS. READY..ONE..TWO… T…H…R…!!!! ….ATLAS SEE…. WHAT IS HAPPENING!? Save Me

Time to Awake : Time to Awake We all should awake & cry:- "HEY ATLAS HOLD ON -. We all collectively commit to protect the environment

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION : ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Let’s understand the Interaction between Man and Environment with special reference to MIND .Human being is designed and destined to maintain ecological balance. Unless he functions harmoniously and compatibly with the environment it is very difficult to uphold the ecosystem undisturbed.

Scientific Vision ? : Scientific Vision ? Man’s Hyperbolic action to achieve worldly comforts is exploiting the NATURE (Environment). Man must have envisaged to derive energies from the physical world like wind, sea-wave, thermal, hydel, nuclear, muscle, bull, horse,political power and so on. Consequently, he is tightly enveloped by the current of pollution and urgently, must contend with it.

COMFORT ? : COMFORT ? Is he able to breath fresh air? drink potable water? eat good food? live in a ideal house? hear soothing music? get away from harmful electro-magnetic waves (TV/Radio; Wireless, X-Ray)and cosmic rays in the long term? Apart from all the above is it not becoming very difficult for him to keep himself away from tensions {Family, Society, & Occupation (due to increase of unending desires)} ? diseases? and drugs?.

Blasphemy ? : Blasphemy ? The Laws that govern the universe are not different from those that govern the functions of the human being/living organism. The Laws of 'Mutuality; 'Mutation', 'Vital Dynamics', and 'Individualisation' are some of such kind which go almost hand in hand with Man and Environment.

FAQonEnvironment : FAQonEnvironment What is Environment ? All physical,social and cultural factors and conditions influencing the existence or development of an organism is called ENVIRONMENT Why should we know about it? Because it is causing threat to the health of environment and as well man on earth. Who is Responsible ? Undoubtedly man is responsible CONTD

FAQonEnvironment : FAQonEnvironment When started? The moment man greed for material benefits started instead of spiritual thirst Where are we going? Going one step forward and three steps backward. How to protect environment and Combat pollution ? By right understanding and by right approach

MAN WITH GOOD RESISTANCE : MAN WITH GOOD RESISTANCE In the diagram "A" the external stimulus acts on man. Man receives its' impressions. It causes mild changes in the outer organs. Soon after he recovers fully. The reacting force of the man is fully operative. Hence, he comes back to the original state of health without any sequalae. Defense mechanism is thoroughly operative and intact A

MAN WITH MODERATE RESISTANCE : MAN WITH MODERATE RESISTANCE In the diagram "B"Man offers resistance but not as much as in case of 'A'. He not only gets indisposed but becomes sick. Afterwards, he recovers gradually and finally he restores his health. Complaints like stiffness of muscles, pain in the joints, sinusitis, and fever etc., are felt without making much dent on the mind. With the support of medicine he restores back to health. B

WEAK RESISTANCE : WEAK RESISTANCE In the diagram "C" Man is prone to get influenced and affected easily. Once he gets into the lap of sickness his mental faculty also starts getting affected. He develops anxiety, depression. He wobbles between one stage of sickness to another stage of sickness. He does not become normal at any time. There is a distinct lack of normal resistance. Defense mechanism needs medicinal support many a time to offer some resistance to the stimuli. C

LACK OF RESISTANCE : LACK OF RESISTANCE In the diagram "D" Man can offer no resistance at all. There is no inclination to live. He becomes totally dull, inactive. There is a deterioration of mental and physical faculties. All his organs become emaciated. Even the assistance of medicine also does not help him. It leads ultimately to the funeral ground. Defense mechanism yields completely to the external force. With the above illustration it is clear that there is always a fight between external offending morbific agent (environment) and internal defending protecting agent (life principle/ Dynamis). D

Slide 24 : When one concentrates on sense objects, he develops an attachment towards them. Desire is born out of attachment and anger results out of desire 2.63 Delusion/Infatuation occurs because of Anger, confusion of memory occurs due to delusion, delusion resulting in loss of reasoning; after flawed reasoning, one just perishes.

Slide 25 : 62. In him whose mind dwells on the objects of sense with absorbing interest, attachment to them is formed; from attachment arises desire; from desire anger comes forth.63. Anger leads to bewilderment, from bewilderment comes loss of memory; and by that the intelligence is destroyed; from destruction of intelligence he perishes.

10 MORAL REMEDIES : 10 MORAL REMEDIES 01.Attain REAL self contentment - in its true sense. 02.Put a ceiling on undesirable desires. 03.Avoid excitement and emotions as you lose the reasoning and hence pollute the mind. 04.Think, meditate, analyse, understand and act upon the problems as they are. 05.Think over your problems as that of others and act as you advise. 06.Let noble thoughts shower on you. That brings you mental health. 07.Explore Nature do not Exploit. 08.Brooding over problems will over breed the problems. 09.Do not deceive your inner conscience. 10.If you blunder today that will be a curse on you tomorrow. Stop living at the cost of others.
