Answer 1

1- After reading this article I guess, the definition of consciousness should be enhanced according to new evidence and researches. We are still sticking with the old definition of consciousness in which the term consciousness precisely limited with a humanistic approach. In a wide perspective, I agree with the consciousness of plants because recent studies suggested that plant reacts to music, environment and human touch.

2- The PETA billboards campaigning is an informal way to aware people about their eating habits, our eating habits changed the balance in demand and supply and people are not aware of the effects on the environment so that PETA developed an idea to spread information and knowledge in informal ways.

3- The most memorable thing in this lesson is the ideas concerned about the environment in scientific and emotional ways. This lesson helps me to understand the environmental problems around us.

4- The lesson describes things with better ways and I don’t see any confusing information in this lesson which can challenge the given ideas and information.
