In biology the topics of health, nutrition, ecology, environment, evolution, biodiversity,climate change etc cannot be taught in isolation. The topics involve the act of moving beyond a certain place and analyse causes and effects.
In the classroom however , only the facts can be presented but an atmosphere to analyse them rationally gives students an opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of others .it can also give them a window to reflect on the merits and demerits of various things to a particular place and the entire world so that they can apply it in their lives later.

It means to me he basic concept of my culture "Vasudev Kutumbhkam" which is a sanskrit word and means the world is my family. For me it is to see the length and breadth of world from my tiny eye and be amazed at the fact that the light of my vision travels across the world. I and my actions cause an effect in the world and in turn they are affected by the world.
