For centuries, humans lived in harmony with nature, benefiting from its resources without causing harm. However, population growth, industrialization, and overconsumption have disrupted this balance and caused extensive environmental damage through pollution, deforestation, and resource depletion. While humans have dominated the planet, we remain dependent on nature and its resources for survival. To avoid further ecological crises, it is imperative that we restore our respectful relationship with the environment and adopt more sustainable practices.

Group:84A 2nd course. Topic: The philosophy of the relationship between humanity and nature. Humans and the environment have a centuries-long relationship with each other. For countless centuries mankind has peacefully coexisted and benefitted from everything provided by nature. Mother nature on the other hand has been very kind to shower us with all its blessings. It has provided mankind with food, clothing, shelter, and all necessities of life without ever asking anything in return. For all these centuries human beings also cared for nature until the invention of diesel engines and large-scale factories that pollute the environment. Population explosion is the biggest factor that has negatively affects the relationship between humans and the environment. Because of the rapid human population growth, the requirement of resources also increased by many folds. This huge population size created an imbalance and scarcity of resources. To fulfil growing demands of resources, large-scale factories and production units were set up. These factories, chimneys, the petroleum industry, the textile industry, and what it released all the poisonous waste into the environment. These factories are exploiting nature and playing with human well-being by polluting the natural world. Technological advancements, modernization, and the economic growth have lead humans away from mother nature. Modern society has seen an increase in demand for natural systems and natural materials changing the human perception of nature. Humans no longer respect, love and value nature as they just exploit it for their own benefits. The bond of love and affection between humans and the environment is no longer there. These increased distances have negatively affected our mental health and psychological well-being. Deforestation has cursed a major climate change which has led to global warming, but humans continue to cut down trees without planting new ones. Humans are strong and smart enough to dominate the world, but they still can’t survive without natural resources. Nature was a silent watcher for all these centuries but now it has struck back. Humankind suffers because of the destruction of nature and is forced to withstand harsh temperatures due to deforestation. Global warming, sea rising levels, flooding and wildfires are some signs from nature that we need to stop harming our environment. The natural life that includes animals and other species has improved their mature relationship. In all these centuries every living thing than human beings have strived towards achieving sustainability. They have learned how to survive with limited resources by providing benefits to the environment. These species created a strong relationship with nature and played their part to improve human health. Whenever they use any natural resource, they add value to the environment. Humans should learn from all other species to avoid environmental disasters. In conclusion, just like many animal species are now I instinct because of overhunting, natural resources are depleting every day. Everyone should be taught to love and respect nature and improve the relationship between humans and the environment. If things continue like this we won’t be able to survive on planet earth. Thank you.
