Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 2GFO
In the last paragraph of the chapter, we suggest taking a gardener’s approach—working with natural processes and having a desire to understand—in all of our interactions with the natural world. Describe how this approach could be applied to a current issue concerning human modification of nature. Do you agree that it might be helpful to “think like a gardener,” or do you see disadvantages of this attitude as well?

- Consider for a moment that the Church community could be viewed as a small-scale version (or microcosm) of society with individuals holding differing perspectives on how Christians should respond to environmental issues. As such, within and amongst congregations there may be those who possibly would want to embrace a point of view to which they believe the Christian response to environmental issues such as the worldwide weather phenomena known as climate change, managing issues like the greenhouse effect, and alternative energy source could involve either adaptation or avoidance.This would translate to mean that some responses would concentrate on how to mitigate these environmental concerns after their occurrence, while others would try to work on the prevention aspects of the issue. Compare these perspectives and determine which would better explain how the Church community could best respond to environmental concerns in the scenario and why?arrow_forwardA team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?arrow_forwardNicol found out that his spinach garden is infested with bugs.
