 The human experience is the life we live from birth to death. In countries all over the world, people live their lives with generally the same thoughts, ideas, feelings, and even threats. The thoughts of their environment, the ideas of how to fix and solve problems within their environment, the feelings they have for their environment, and even the actual threats they fear from their environment are generally the same.  A threat throughout the globe is the environmental issue of pollution. For example, in the country of India a young boy fell into a river and was killed not by drowning, but by the pollutants in the water. This young child was deprived of his life and his youth due to an environmental issue. In countries all over the world, people are having their life cut short because of threats and issues within their environment, one of the big factors being pollution.  Deforestation is an environmental issue in most countries around the world and Argentina has lost 15.5% of their forests due to deforestation between the years 1990 and 2010. The reason for the loss of these trees is due to the exportation of the wood for use in our homes. Interdependence between Argentina and the countries buying the wood from them is evident. Argentina has a unique and rare wood in their country that is popular and wanted by many people around the world. This wanting of rare beauty is a natural human feeling, but sometimes the wants we have do not agree with needs of life. We all need trees to survive!  Water scarcity is one of the most common and major environmental issues in the world; almost every country has that threat. In China for instance, 600 million people live in places that have a scarcity of water. With this many people, water scarcity is a major health problem. No matter where you live or what type of person you are, every human being needs water to survive on earth. In Southeast Asia the regions are very diverse because of how the geography separates and isolates groups. Abundance of water is part of the reason this occurs. If there is a lot of water in one area, more people are going to live there. Having an abundance of water affects where people live and whom they interact with. All of these interactions create a diverse country. The diversity of the country creates different ideas and a different perception of life and love.  I once heard a story about a prisoner of war who was being tortured in order to obtain information. The guard who was delivering the electrical shock was told never to connect with the prisoners on a personal level. However, the prisoner initiated a conversation with the guard about how he did not want to die before seeing his family again. This sparked a connection between the two people and the guard began seeing the prisoner as a human being, not just another solider. He found it hard to deliver the torture and eventually let the prisoner go. The basic need of love was understood in this story and shows that in the end we are all just people going through the same general human experience and influencing each other along the way. It does not matter what country you live in or the situation of life that is being presented to you, love is a language that is understood by all people. The love of the environment is not any different than the love between people and is an important part of keeping this earth clean and helping to stop these issues and problems. The love between two people are dependent on each other as we are dependent on the environment and in turn need to love it. In the end we are all just human beings and have many of the same wants and needs, love being one of the most important.
