Humans/Nonhumans

The difference between nonhuman animals, and human animals is that humans separate themselves from nature. Humans often analyze nature as though from the side lines like they are not a part of nature, when they are. Animals are synonymous with being vulgar, chaotic and uncivilized. Humans like to think that the only part of them that has anything to do with nature, are the rudimentary acts to stay alive and reproduce. As well as separating themselves from the rest of the "natural" world they also question their role in the planet. Recently, there has been constant media attention on the environment. With humans ability to shape the world they also have the responsibility that comes with it. People worry about the energy they waste,the risk of overpopulation, endangered animals, and the ice caps. An nonhuman animal never worries about its population, or it effect on other species. Humans have a level of consciousness which simultaneously makes them feel as though they have to protect nature/the world while still thinking that they are something autonomous from it.
