Environment

Option 1
Most of the texts we have read this semester have lead to the change in my thoughts on the environment. The most important one seems to be "O Rotten Gotham" by Tom Wolfe. It is amazing to think of the world, or even Temple's campus as a whole. The amount of interaction we have between people everyday is unbelievable. Just walking on campus, you see thousands of people, all crowded into a small area. Everyone's behavior in this situation is changed, as everyone has somewhere to go to or something to do. This behavioral sink Wolfe describes seems to be very possible if not likely. I had never spent much time thinking about overpopulation in the city before, but after reading this text, it does seem to be a serious problem.
