Unit+2

The little things: Individual Ecologies

//All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. (Lao-Tzu)// After teaching students about the big picture, it is important to zoom in and show them the components. This unit aims to make the concept of "The Environment" manageable by breaking it down into smaller, easily understandable parts. The objectives of this unit are to (a) demonstrate how the world is broken down into 'smaller worlds' and (b) look in depth at each individual ecology, its eccentricities and peculiarities, in order to better understand the world as a whole.
