How do you think our environment plays a vital role in our behaviour?
I agree, but we do exploit nature's giving. It is a bit difficult to leave it uncorrupted, but I feel that we could respect it more than we already do.Aditi Sapate wrote: ↑12 Jul 2020, 02:12 I think the biggest lesson to be inferred is that human nature is unpredictable. Also that humans should not toy with natural forces and try to leave the world as uncorrupted as they can.
That is true. Our vulnerabilities let us act on impulse, I believe.Bruno Abia wrote: ↑12 Jul 2020, 07:40 I learnt that one human being is just as vulnerable as the other. We are mostly unpredictable as we act on impulse.
That is very true. But when have you ever seen humans let nature be nature, hardly ever. So what can be done instead ?shynmr wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 07:25 I think the idea of leaving the natural world as unmolested as possible is one of the biggest lessons. Had the team not interfered with nature, their encounters with the wolves may not have been as harrowing. It's "do unto others as you would have done to you" applied to non-humans and has echoes throughout society. We are arriving to be more humane and this is a shining example of why and when that could matter.
I agree with you, Newton's third law always comes to act whenever humans screw nature up, nature pays them back.
I agree, but also I think different humans are wired in a specific way and would act according to their true nature. Hence, sometime we wouldn't even know how we would act in a situation.Mstrtim wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 11:28 If you take a group of different people, send them to a conference, have them interact in a meeting room all day, then socialize all evening, you will find that each is unique and responds to the situation in a different way. Some are glad to. be there and thankful for the opportunity. Others are there grudgingly, and may or may not be swayed by the others. Now, take a different group of people, plop them in the middle of Siberia, have them travel across a wasteland, then settle into a paradise filled with wonderment and predators, and you can be assured that some will be happy and other not so much. Toss in some HGH and aphrodisiac chemical compounds, as well as alcohol and firearms, and there's no telling how anyone will act. Human nature is a funny thing. How would I act? I tend to think I'd behave myself. But who knows?
I agree but have we ever respects nature in life? We keep on exploiting it.
What you do, you get back in return. I agree with your point. It all depends on how carefully we take care of nature.Adrianna Melillo wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 15:07I have to agree with this. When they stole from the animals, the animals wanted revenge. When they returned the bones to the wolves, the wolves showed respect. While we perhaps can’t have quite the same level of relationships as Grant and his crew did with the wolves, we should all practice respecting nature (and I think nature rewards us when we do; e.g., preserving land then getting to observe plants wildlife at work).shynmr wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 07:25 I think the idea of leaving the natural world as unmolested as possible is one of the biggest lessons.

I totally agree with you that human nature will always have a bit of mystery. This is especially so because I still do not understand what elements were produced by the pollen that had such great effect on the hormonal structure of the human beings. Must have the humans given in to their sexual urges. This remains a mystery.AvidBibliophile wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 18:12 Human nature will always be a bit of a mystery, impulses and desire will generally trump logical thought-processing, there are probably geographical locations out there that still remain an unexplored mystery, and aggressive predators will eat you when repeatedly provoked! These are the lessons the book solidified for me. How about you, @anoushka_thakur?
Exactly.... Let things happen on their own!JeanyJean wrote: ↑15 Jul 2020, 10:59 Personally, i have learnt from the book that nature is pure and the best place one can be is at the exposure of nature, it is at this points that human beings experience self actualization. By giving in to the human nature of curiosity the protagonist got the opportunity to meet new people and experience new encounters. Sometimes in life, we should allow nature to take its course.
