The Final Entry - The Question.


Why and How must environments change?

The Environment, whether it being the natural, man-made or cyber environment, must and always change due to popular demand, safety or to add features. They change so that they can adapt to the changing sub-environments around them and make it better for everyone who uses them.
They all must change because of the way humans act, for example, ramps being put in for disabled people or websites that are easier for humans to use or even for plants growing the way a human wants them to. also environments change to dangers or threats and even ways to stop effecting other environments

The environments change due to effects caused by everything that works in the system of envireonmetns around the world. If one environment is changed in this system then it is likely that more environments will change due to it. It can be due to both people and natural causes for these environments to change.

Due to politics, economy and trade cities will definetly become larger and larger over time. All the big city owners and organizers will become power hungry, I can imagine, and will become greedy and cover too much land. due to the bigger birth rate at the moment and also immigrants coming in, in time the population will grow and with a greater population, there are greater demands and more resources are used such as fuel, food, trees and more.

All these things change and effect each other through many different ways.

City Week was pretty good.

Day 3 - The Ending

Okay. Day 3...sometimes known as the 'Demon' day in the wild world of teens, but today, that day, not yesterday or Monday but Wednesday, the third day is in fact the last day. SO THIS! is what happened...

We, meaning Peter, Giorgio, Jake, Sam and myself, continued with our usual ways, starting at Rundle mall that morning to finish the investigation. After a long time in Shin Tokyo, we went back to the grote street library to listen to Tenille Chambers talk about poverty and more. after a bout an hour of that, we were released from the library and set off to Central markets again since it right across the road. There we had lunch and all-you-can-eat buffet's which was a real delicacy. After lunch, at 11 to 12, we headed back to pilgrim hall and set off to the city beach where we would play BEACH VOLLEYBALL. This WOULD have been fun except for the fact that I hate sand and also it was like, 40 DEGREES!! but all was good.

We then just about finished the day with another one of Mr. Mead's hour-long speaches then we went home. Except for me. I had a drum lesson in Blackwood and I had to catch a Train there. I travelled there but first I stopped in at Shin Tokyo again and bought the first season of BLEACH, my favourite anime. but anyway i missed my lesson, got pizza for tea and went home. then to bed.

Day 2 - The Deciever



So first of all, I got ready in the morning just like I usually do then i caught a normal city bus into the city and met up with everyone at Pilgrim hall. We all went back to the Central markets and began to finished what we started on day 1. so we completed the central market investigation and went to our personal investigation with the manager of the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Gair Bethley. We went into a private conference room and started talking to him and asking him questions. The interview went really well and we got back out after about an hour.



So we went away but of course Sam, the nerd of the group, knew we had the state library tour, so he walked incredibly fast and was soon out of sight. We then boarded a tram to get to the library faster, not realizing Sam wasn't with us and then as we turned the corner, we saw him for the last time, waiting for the green walk sign. we had to then spend the rest of the day at pilgrim hall.


end of day 2.

Day 1 - The Beginning

So the day started at school and we spent a whole lot of time just talking, then we had to go. we got dropped off at victoria square and walked a little bit until we reached pilgrim hall. That would have been fine except for the massive, 1 hour long talk that Mr. Mead did. Uggh. So bad.


After that it was fine though so at 10.00 we set off and began our Rundle Mall Investigation for half an hour. After enjoying ourselves in the Mall, we quickly went to the Treasury Tunnels Tour. The tour was actually much cooler than i first thought it would be as we continued into the old tunnels far below the marinda hotel.


After the tour, we continued with the investigation in Victoria Square and completed that with no trouble at all. by then it was lunchtime so we went back into town and dined in the Myer's food court.
After that we went to the Central markets, did a whole lot of crazy stuff, bought some white rabbits, ate asian cuisine and lollies, then it was the end of the day and I got picked up unexpectedly by my dad since he had a meeting in the city...

The environment. Entry 3

Today's environment changes rapidly. Its not a question of why it changes or how it changes but of what it changes and the effects it leaves on the past, present and future as well as the people around it.

The qualities of human made environments, natural environments and cyber environments have all changed as humans evolve and the earth goes with them. Cities become larger as forests become smaller and the internet takes over the world in a short time in the near future but they all have a purpose.

Due to politics, economy and trade cities will definetly become larger and larger over time. All the big city owners and organizers will become power hungry, I can imagine, and will become greedy and cover too much land. due to the bigger birth rate at the moment and also immigrants coming in, in time the population will grow and with a greater population, there are greater demands and more resources are used such as fuel, food, trees and more.

So with more depends, power and gain, where is the say for the natural environment? well in fact the natural environment doesn't really have a say as it slowly withers away into the far reaches of the earth where man will never step foot. But seriously, due to demands, more trees will be cut down for building, forest will be cleared for new developments and more carbon emmisions will be released.

The Cyber Environment or 'Internet' will definetly change very quickly as it already has in the last 10 years of its arrival. I personally think that it will become more dangerous and easier for hackers to gain personnel information and other things. It won't be as safe anyway.

So as you can see the environment of everything will change no matter what we do. Life just works that way and so does the environment.

Entry 2

Yeah, well I usually go to the city at least once a week but that varies since a live pretty far away. I usually go there only to shop and catch up with mates but I also Dine there sometimes and go there for special events such as the fringe opening or the car exhibits.
My favorite place in the city has got to be Rundle Mall and then the continuation of it down Pultney Street. I like these areas so much because they have everything you can imagine such as food, entertainment, clothes and more PLUS there are some bloody good shoe shops aswell...nike+supra <3.

The best fun I've had in the city was probably one of the times me and me mates went in last year where my friend will got in heaps of trouble with security guards and other random things that were so unexpected. I haven't really had a time in the city like that since but they have all been good.

all I really have to say is that I generally think the city is a great place and super awesome :3.
