Explanation:
Anthropocentrism, is a worldview that argues that humans are more important and significant that any other entities or species in the world. This view point argues that humans possess greater intrinsic values compared to other species; this viewpoint sees humans as superiors while other entities are inferior to them and hence can be used by humans for their own benefit.
Therefore the anthropocentric viewpoint as it relates to environmental ethics implies that engineers should consider how much pollution their devices create because of how human health is affected.
When the perception is formed starting from a larger concept or object and then it is focused on to more detailed information, then such a method of forming perception is termed as top down processing.
This processing takes into consideration the general impressions and then focusing on the finer details to make a final perception.
Due to the top down processing the circumstances under which a particular emotion or object is perceived influences our expectations in that particular situation.
Therefore, when we listen to sad music our brain already perceives that the word spoken would be in context to the current situation and hence, the word gets perceived as mourning rather than morning and this is an example of top down processing.
Answer-Sea flows act a lot of like a transport line, moving warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the posts and cold water from the shafts back to the tropics. In this manner, sea flows manage worldwide atmosphere, assisting with balancing the lopsided dissemination of sun powered radiation arriving at Earth's surface.
