Exra Credit The Human Age
The Human Age
The beginning of the article talks about a new dinosaur museum opening on Washington DC in 2019. This museum not only will have fossils but it will force visitors to consider the species that is currently dominating the work. The article states, "We want to help people imagine their role in the world". This reminded me of the sixth Hallmark that says, "We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve" . They are creating a place were people can see the value of themselves to then serve a purpose in the community.
The article then mentions anthropocene which is a periods of time in which humans actions have major effects on the earth's climate. A chemist at the Max Plank Institute for Chemistry in Germany discovered how humans affect the earth's atmosphere. The article mentions a hole discovered in the ozone layer, which was made by all the carbon dioxide. Many people are aware with what is happening to the world's climate but to continue with their unhealthy ways.
