Socienvironmental Education
Aggressive behavior to the environment,
misconceptions, for the most part, were passed
from generation to generation both in the family,
religious and school. Were set up false
standards by which nature is available to be
dominated and that man is the center of
everything. Today we know that we are only one
link of a great chain. The commitment of every
citizen is thus to broaden the perception of
other people roasts on reality.
14
Socienvironmental Education
Most people live in cities. You must know and
understand this environment so that we can
understand the environmental pressures generated
from it. Thus, we can expand the perception about
the attitudinal changes that are necessary for us
to achieve sustainability.

There is a principle in Human Ecology as the frog
placed in a pan of hot water it will immediately,
but if the water is cold and is heated gradually
she is able to withstand high temperatures
without outlining any response.
16
Socienvironmental Education
Often the environmental degradation occurs
slowly, but continuous and growing. Thus,
humanity takes a long time to understand the
threats and outline reactions.
