Eliadian Space and Nature on Campus At the end of each interview, I asked participants to describe a place on campus of particular importance. I then requested that they text me a photograph of the space the next time they experienced the emotions described during the interview. Five of six participants responded within twenty-four hours. Explaining her methods, Ammerman highlights the significance of visual research: “Taking the visual turn introduced a new set of stories…The data are produced by participants: they are in the driver’s seat, they make decisions about what is important” (Ammerman, 16). In our interview, Jonathan described his bedroom desk in Williams Hall: Anything that happens at home or in my family happens somewhere [off campus], but when I hear about it, I’ll be on my phone in my room. I have heard about good things and really bad things here, and I process them here. This is where the information is conveyed to me. (Interview 4, 16:45) Jonathan’s image of his bedroom desk, along with images of other spaces discussed below, can be found in Appendix 3. In the same manner as before, I will employ Eliadian thought to illuminate sacred consciousness in this narrative. In The Sacred and the Profane, Eliade describes space for the religious man: “Space is not homogeneous; he experiences interruptions, breaks in it; some parts of space are qualitatively different than others” (Eliade 1975, 20). Is Jonathan a religious man? In this paper, this question can
Jonathan Edwards’s attention to the separation of the body from the soul combined with his efforts to account for the spirit of revivalism during the “Great Awakening” implicates the sublime as both a rhetorical tool and psychological experience that, in either case, foregrounds the relationship between an individual’s perception of the self and his or her relationship to a community. Comparing Edwards’s personal writing to his public writing , an exploration of the phenomenon of conversion is clearly developed. Sublime experiences represent potential moments for conversion to Christianity because such events are moments that define the self in absence
In The Other Wes Moore written by Wes Moore, the author discusses his life and compares it to another character that has the same name as him. The men who share the same name have lived and endured many different experiences. Factors such as parenting, child development, and even social class, have unique effects on both the author and the prisoner Wes Moores’ lives that may have shaped their future life. The author has also described the burden of an absent father, the difference in mentors, and the social group to be huge impacts to the shaping of their individual lives. I however, argue the environment or the atmosphere is the main reason the two Wes Moore led such different lives.

In the article “Space”, Thomas Tweed tackles the true definition of religious space. Tweed rejects the idea that space is “a preexisting static container isolated from other spaces” or “a void to be filled” (118). Instead, Tweed describes sacred spaces as differentiated, kinetic, and interrelated.
Jonathan Edward’s Personal Narrative shows a drastic shift in religious, social relationships, from the church and sacred texts informing you about how you should act to be virtuous, to the ordinary person and traveling preacher having the religious authority that the church previously had. This shows in the lines, “I made a solemn dedication of myself to God,” and, “That my sins appear to me so great.”
Environmental scanning can be viewed as a way of acquiring information about outside events that can aid organizations in first identifying potential trends, then interpreting them
Like most Americans, I expect to find in every city, every town, even in every village in the country, an outdoor recreation area or what is usually called a park; and I am seldom disappointed. No matter how new and unfinished a town may be, or however old and poor, I know that it will contain, wedged in among the crowded blocks of buildings, a rectangular space with grass and trees and meandering paths and perhaps a bandstand or a flagpole.
Information collected through observation, interviews and discussions can then be incorporated into a ‘rich picture’ (see Fig. 3 overleaf).
Considering Eliade's assertion that "the sacred" is a vehicle for power in "pre-modern" societies, much irony is present in the fact that Modern European man, while distancing himself from the "primitive" definitions of a traditional, all-encompassing spirituality, is deeply waged in the battle for the power that can be extracted from the sole possession and revised definition of "the sacred." In the novel No Longer At Ease, one begins to see the serious implications of displaced ownership and ambiguous definition of sacred objects and rites.
When people think of their environment people think of their immediate surroundings; however, one's environment goes beyond and further into the psychological connection to one's personal environment. To further explain, Gallagher discusses three different aspects of The Power of Place: Outside In, Inside Out, and Synchrony. The book opens doors previously unnoticed about psychological ecology. From reading the book one learns that settings influence behavior more than the personalities of most people.
Development processes is connected with environmental degradation and use of natural resources. Rudel et al. (2011) assumes the present of two distinct waves of development power which control environment. The first wave of political economy deals with the power of capitalism as the main agent for environmental degradation, while the second wave concern with the social power (community) to control the use of natural resources.
Since the beginning of civilization humanity has adopted a subjugating stance toward nature. Ecological exploitation has become the de facto standard, contributing to the illusion of self-subsistence provided by modern society. This mindset is untenable given humanities reliance on the natural world, as best demonstrated by the critical importance of various parts of the environment to humanities continued existence. This includes the importance of biodiversity to medicinal advancement and climate adaptation, the role of insects in the renewal of the biosphere, and the importance of the environment for humanities psychological health.
"What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument."
Environmental problems are something which belongs to nature or known as “Mother Earth” [13]. Nature was created to help people survive from gathering foods until build a house. This phenomenon happens continuously without thinking how much damage that nature has because human’s fault. Nature gradually becomes worse and animal’s life in danger. People who are aware of the importance of nature react. Those people do several ways to save the environment. Although these efforts can return back the environment, these efforts only can be hold temporarily. This problem happens because those people who are aware of the environment only slightly; for remaining, there are people either do not know or do not care about the nature. People’s efforts
According to Mintzberg, the environmental school of thought is a strategy dealing with the forces outside the organization. Unlike the other schools in his book, Strategy Safari, the environment plays a central role in the strategy formation process alongside leadership and the organization where the organization becomes subordinate to the external environment. The environmental school assumptions are that during the formative period of the organization the company shapes itself in response to the environment, but after that period is increasingly unable to respond to the environment. Moreover, the organization long term survival depends on the early choices made during its formative period. Over time, Mintzberg states, leadership becomes
