Nowadays, environment issues have become as a big topic everywhere around the world. Did we ever imagine a fictitious town or planet around us? In 1900s, two famous writers gave bold imagine about how environment looked like twenty years ago.

In the book The Future of Life, author Edward O. Wilson highlights the ineffective nature of the debates between the two side of environmentalism. He achieves this by pointing out parallels and similarities of the language between two sides in the satirical piece.
In Passage One, the author describes the way that environmental concerns have been made public by including scientific history and asking questions. A question that the author remarks was “How could one regret the ‘minor’ confusions that might arise from such noble impulses?” This rhetorical question that the author states was meant to tell readers about how a person could be remorseful of the commotion that was created from a thought.

All of us have formed habits in our daily life. Even though some of these habits only exist in our subconscious and we cannot actually make sure whether they are real or only the conjectures. But it is undoubted that all of our behaviors are influenced by our desires on specific objectives. In the book, the power of habit, Charles Duhigg explained the definition of a habit as an effort-saving instinct. “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making” (20). To support his opinions on habits, he introduced the three-step model of a habit loop, the theory of golden rule of habit, and the role of a craving brain and belief in the process of a habit changing.
