Walking along the skyscrapers of Chicago on Michigan Avenue, it is not hard to see some greenery which are well-blended into the “concrete jungle” and embellish the nights of Chicago’s summer. Especially, while the colorful neon signs catch your eyes and the Jazz music flowed with the summer breeze refresh your ears, you are already being convinced that there is no place on the earth can camouflage such a romantic scene! The modern industrialization and scholarships such as civil engineering and urban development allow people nowadays to live more efficiently and conveniently. As the article, “The Role of Arboriculture in a Healthy Social Ecology,” insists, “greenery do benefit people internally and externally disregarding the geographic area where human beings inhabit;” however, while people getting amazed by the spectacularity and the sophisticated development plans of the city, should the greenery “planed” to be planted on streets be consider as a part of nature, or creature? If the greenery planted in the city are considered as the creatures, does it mean human beings can control the nature already?
Since this is a blog style writing, I think it’d be more meaningful to hear the opinions of people from the class, rather than simply stating what I believe. Please leave a comment to sate what you believe is true.
