Christina Vrooman - Portfolio 7

From Drmills

blog contribution: yo, this class was tiiiight...  :)  I can honestly say it was the most useful, most interesting class I took at LMU.  Thanks to Dr. Mills and the rest of the class for enlightening my worldview and for scaring the .... out of me.  I wish everyone the best of luck with staying alive 'n all. ;0  sooo funny, but not so funny.  anyway, Dr. Mills, please send me that money making info...  like I mentioned before, I'm poor and need to be rich within the next 5-10 years... yeah.  I'm out.  Peace!

e-mail contribution: I would be very happy to continue to receive e-mails from everyone about any new developments.  gotta stick with this stuff.  I'll contribute every other week to an e-mail group if you will...   eh?

book wiki clean-up contribution: The content of this class has consumed my thoughts for months.  I've been super involved with this stuff.  Isn't that enough?  I hate cleaning...

- added this to beginning of section 3 - Ecological overshoot is primarily a psychological issue of shortsightedness. The field of psychology has a wealth of knowledge regarding the discounting of remote futures. Unfortunately, these futures may not be as remote as once believed, and discounting them may lead us to a disaster of epic proportions. Fortunately, though, the field of psychology can help. It is one of the few fields that offers insight into the nature of human behavior, which can be applied to human and environmental interactions. It can be used to inform, and potentially help prevent problems of ecological overshoot.

-re-read my book wiki contributions to make certain my first revisions were sufficient.

-made very minor edits to section 3 - wikitext problems

-re-checked my resources for APA style

-made sure later letters of the alphabet were in order in references section

-worried about the future enough for everyone (aged five years in one)

ok, thank you so much for teaching this class.  I know it may sound stupid, but it has really changed everything for me. 

   Thank you, Dr. Mills!
