Environment

                 Environment is the surrounding things. It includes living things and natural forces. The environment of living things provides conditions for development and growth as well as danger and damage. Living things do not simply exist in their environment. They constantly interact with it. Organisms change in response to conditions in their environment. The environment consists of the interactions among plants, animals, soil, water, temperature, light, and other living and non-living things.

The word environment is used to talk about many things. People in different fields of knowledge (like history, geography or biology) use the word differently. An electromagnetic environment is in which equipment such as radio and radar can meet the radio waves. Galactic environment refers to conditions between the stars.^[1]

In psychology and medicine a person's environment is the people, physical things, places, and events that the person lives with. The environment affects the growth and development of the person. It affects the person's behavior. It affects the person's body, mindand heart.

Discussions on nature versus nurture are sometimes framed as heredity vs environment.

In biology and ecology the environment is all of the natural materials and living things, including sunlight. This is also called thenatural environment. Some people call themselves environmentalists. They think we must protect the environment, to keep it safe. Things in the environment that we value are called natural resources. For example, fish, sunlight, and forests. These are renewablenatural resources because they come back naturally when we use them. Non-renewable natural resources are important things in the environment that are limited for example, ores and fossil fuels.

Environment is the events and culture that a person lived in. A person's beliefs and actions are dependent on his environment. For example, Thomas Jefferson and Julius Caesarowned slaves. Modern people mostly think it's wrong to own slaves. But in Jefferson's and Caesar's environments slavery was normal. So, their actions did not look as wrong in their societies.
