Question

5. Define and discuss human-environment interaction, possibilism, and environmental determinism.

Answer 1

Answer:

Environmental Determinism is theory that environment causes social development or the idea that natural environment influences people. Possibilism is theory that people can adjust or overcome an environment.

The term Possibilism means that the environment only limits the number of choices that a person has. At its heart, possibilism follows the notion that humans have the commanding power over their environment, albeit within certain limits.

Environmental determinism-The theory that the physical environment controls human character and behavior and consequently human cultures and societies.. Example-In Africa people have darker skin so the sun won't affect them as much.. Possibilism- People have the ability to adjust to their environment.
