Question Answer – Home Assignment 01 Jun 2019

Reason of Climate Change:

Climate is defined as the average state of everyday's weather condition over a period of 30 years. The climate varies from time to time and place to place. It depends on the local geographical and environmental conditions. Since industrial revolution, natural resources like forest, coal, cruide oils are so exploited that the natural balance is disturbed. 

High rate of industrial activities, exploitation of underground resources like water, ores, coals etc., huge constructions like buildings, rising cities etc, green house gases, low vegetation, rising population, decreasing eco diversity are main reasons of climate change. 

Deterioration of Human Values:

Basic human values are those values which are at the core of being human. These values truth, honesty, loyalty, love, peace, etc. These values are nurished by family care, societies' response, politico-social environament, educational advancement etc.

In globalisation, consumarism rose above the human values where materialistic benefits are placed above the human values. People uses relations, family and values for their economic gains.
