Answer 1

There's a constant interaction between the physical or natural environment and human lives. This process of interactions influences both, the human lives and natural environment. Human lives are shaped by the factors of physical elements as climate, physical features of lands, flora and fauna, mineral resources etc. These shapes the human behaviors, their eating habits, their norms and values- the elements of a society and culture. The way that is based on cultural norms and societal rules in which the elements of natural environment is utilized impacts the condition of the natural environment. Those societies and cultures that do not value their natural environment, over exploit them for their profit, and there is environmental degradation, there one could find that there is economic disparity, a lot of health issues, and social problems. Thus, the state of natural environment reflects culture and the organization of society.
