The Environment and Politics

The speaker of EQPF told us about many different types of environment: natural, humanistic, and man-made. He is a person who works in environmental protection groups. We have obtained a lot of information from Teacher Cheng, so today we will use this information to discuss our daily life. Things that happen but are rarely noticed.

The teacher said that the man-made environment is generally seldom mentioned. The environment usually refers to the urban and natural environment. The artificial environment is like air-conditioning. It is called an artificial environment to make yourself more comfortable. The teacher also talked about affairs and politics with others. Politics is the knowledge of many people's groups and the environment. The teacher also gave examples of the story of three people becoming tigers, and the culture of Eastern and Western people in determining things and public affairs, such as elections. In recent years, there have been referendums. Citizens have to stay there for more than half a year, have local passports, and have to reach a certain age. We also discussed the difference between citizenship and public affairs.

The teacher said whether we can determine the living environment of the future people? Regarding the determination of the future environment, I also talked about ecological politics and political ecology. The teacher emphasized that these two are different. The difference is that “ecological politics” is a public affair that prioritizes ecology, and 70% are discussing ecology. Political ecology is to pursue politics first, pay attention to society and economy, and 30% discuss politics. When talking about the relationship between the environment and politics, the earth is a system, and all the big and small things on the earth will affect each other’s quality public policies. For example, when discussing the public environment, we should communicate rationally. It is also said that what is most commonly discussed in Taiwan is Energy, because Taiwan lacks electricity, most of the energy is imported. Finally, he talked about environmental communication. The teacher also mentioned that only three of the current 20 referendums are related to the environment.

Environmental communication is “to disseminate information related to the environment and implement communication practices. Initially, environmental communication was a narrow field of communication. Today, however, it is a broad field that includes information on how different actors conduct on environmental-related topics. Interaction and the study of how cultural products affect society to solve environmental problems.“ Environmental communication also includes the interaction between humans and the environment. This includes a wide range of possible interactions, from interpersonal communication and virtual communities to participatory decision-making and environmental media reporting.

In the end, I think we should avoid creating unnecessary trash and order less takeaway. Everyone does a small thing and it becomes a great power. So we should really pay more attention to the surrounding environment and protect it.

環境與政治

EQPF 的人來演講告訴我們許多不同類型的環境:自然的、人文的和人造的。他是一個在環保團體工作的人。我們從Cheng老師那裡得到了很多信息,所以今天我們就用這些信息來討論我們的日常生活。發生但很少被注意到的事情。

老師說人造環境一般很少提到。環境通常是指城市和自然環境。 人工環境就像空調。它被稱為人造環境,使自己更舒適。老師還和別人談事談政治。政治是許多人的群體和環境的知識。老師還舉例說明了三個人變成老虎的故事,以及東西方人在決定事情和公共事務上的文化,比如選舉。近年來,公投不斷。公民必須在那裡逗留半年以上,持有當地護照,並且必須達到一定的年齡。我們還討論了公民身份和公共事務之間的區別。

老師說我們能不能決定未來人的生活環境?關於未來環境的決定,我也講了生態政治和政治生態。老師強調,這兩者是不同的。不同的是,“生態政治”是一個以生態為優先的公共事務,70%的人在討論生態。政治生態是先搞政治,關注社會經濟,30%討論政治。在談到環境和政治的關係時,地球是一個系統,地球上所有大大小小的事物都會影響彼此的質量公共政策。例如,在討論公共環境時,我們應該理性地溝通。也有人說台灣最常討論的就是能源,因為台灣缺電,大部分能源都是進口的。最後,他談到了環境傳播。老師還提到,目前20次公投中只有3次與環境有關。

環境傳播是“傳播與環境有關的信息並實施傳播實踐。最初,環境傳播是一個狹窄的傳播領域。然而,今天,它是一個廣泛的領域,包括有關不同行為者如何處理與環境相關的主題的信息。互動和研究文化產品如何影響社會以解決環境問題。”環境傳播還包括人與環境之間的互動。這包括廣泛的可能互動,從人際交流和虛擬社區到參與式決策和環境媒體報導。

最後,我認為我們應該避免製造不必要的垃圾並減少訂購外賣。每個人都做一件小事,它就會變成一種巨大的力量。所以我們真的應該更加關注周圍的環境並保護它。
