Quotes About Environment

Oprah: Yes, I believe every environment has a tone. If you were to walk into any home as a stranger, not speaking the language, you could absolutely feel whether this is a place where people are loved. Just as you can sense when something's off. You may not know what it is, but something feels off.

It occurred to me that if both genes and environment could produce similar dysfunctional symptoms, the effect of a stressful environment on a person already genetically sensitive to stress would probably be magnified.

Biyoloji sadece deÄŸiÅŸtirilmeyen bir senaryoyu oynayan genlerden ibaret deÄŸildir. Evrimsel süreçlerde olduÄŸu gibi etraftaki dünyaya kar?? da duyarl?d?r.

every environment has a tone.

patterned, repetitive experience in a safe environment can have an enormous impact on the brain

it's especially regulating if you can walk in nature. The sensory elements of the natural world bathe us with their own regulating rhythms.

In a multifamily, multigenerational environment, the continuous social interactions provide a rich source of regulation, reward, and learning.

We are now raising our children and youth in environments that are both relationally impoverished and sensory overloading from the proliferation of screen-based technologies

Emotions are powerful markers of context .

Our brains develop as a reflection of the world we grow up with.

In studying logic or the theory of knowledge . . . we explicitly recognize that most of our so-called knowledge does not reflect the true order of causes in the Universe, but is only a logically confused association of ideas, reflecting our individual reaction to our limited environment.

It's just like any relationship, the more contained the environment, the more the good stuff appears and the more the bad stuff will reveal itself.

The science of epigenetics has also made it clear that there are two mechanisms by which organisms pass on hereditary information. Those two mechanisms provide a way for scientists to study both the contribution of nature (genes) and the contribution of nurture (epigenetic mechanisms) in human behavior. If you only focus on the blueprints, as scientists have been doing for decades, the influence of the environment is impossible to fathom. (Dennis 2003; Chakravarti and Little 2003)

Signal transduction science recognizes that the fate and behavior of an organism is directly linked to its perception of the environment.

over 80 percent of noncoding DNA is involved with regulating the production and assembly of gene-encoded proteins. A major discovery also found that "dark" DNA contains mechanisms by which environmental information can be used to modify the readout of protein-encoding genes. It turns out that dark DNA uses epigenetic mechanisms that enable a human cell with 19,000 gene blueprints to code for over a hundred thousand different protein molecules!

epigenetics, a booming field of biology that is unraveling the mysteries of how the environment influences the behavior of cells without changing the genetic code.

This reminds us of the following: (1) that we are all connected; (2) that we all leave an imprint; and (3) that the Earth that sustains us is finite.

igual que en las células aisladas, el carácter de nuestra existencia se ve determinado no por nuestros genes, sino por nuestra respuesta a las señales ambientales que impulsan la vida.

Today's technology is heavily contaminating the environment with many behavior-disturbing, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that include dioxin, phthalates, agricultural pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial solvents, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals. Exposure to these EDCs that have estrogenic, antiestrogenic, and antiandrogenic properties has been shown to perturb the same stress pathways that provoke a disease response. (Vaiserman 2014)

We're back to where we started in this chapter, the environment. In my own work in the laboratory, I saw over and over the impact a changed environment had on the cells I was studying. But it was only at the end of my research career, at Stanford, that the message fully sank in. I saw that endothelial cells, which are the blood vessel-lining cells I was studying, changed their structure and function depending on their environment. When

Some teachers will appreciate being invited to a school leader's office to receive feedback, perhaps because they value time out of their classroom and they feel that doing so formalises the process, which they like; others will feel intimidated by this and would much prefer to receive feedback in the more familiar environment of their own classroom.

Data is the pollution problem of the information age, and protecting privacy is the environmental challenge.

My idea of an amusement park story is getting adventurers to go tour environmental disaster areas. After all, if the entire Great Barrier Reef gets killed, which seems like an extremely lively possibility, what are you going to do with all that rotting limestone?

In fact, Jane kind of hoped that the twentieth-century heiress had really enjoyed herself as she thoughtlessly squandered the planet's resources and lived like a fattened barnyard animal.
