Perception of Colloquium

The objective the Colloquium course is trying to achieve in my opinion is very important. In today’s society, especially the American society, the culture is driven with a business mentality. This creates a behavior and perception that the business is the key environment. In my opinion, business in general is a subsystem as part of the overall system in nature. Business politics and practices have gradually, if not already so, tried to overtake replace nature as the source of provision for humans. In doing so many of nature’s resources have fallen victim to the needs of business. In my view, business and its production is a middleman between nature and humans that creates a non-equivalent trade. Through business measures we  over produce and over use resources, to create greater value at lower prices, much which never gets consumed but wasted. Colloquium helps refocus that business always should remain in its rightful place as a subsystem within nature. It helps redefine that business should never outperform nature in order to prevent it from becoming extinct. Nature is our lifeline and blood flow, as children of this earth we need to protect our mother and our future.
