Human Perception of Risk
Engineering and Technology (in general) made our life very easier than for example 50
years before, but what human did was not perfect, or safe for themselves. In other words, the
perception of risk has been changed over the past few years. For instance, before creation of
a hole in the ozone layer (due to production of CFCs, CO2, etc by human), nobody cared
very much about greenhouse gases and global warming. But after occurrence of such
phenomena human’s perception of risk and safety changed and by reducing activities that
result in the production of greenhouse gases, recently it’s been announced that the hole in
ozone layer is disappearing.

1- Deforestation
FOR OBTAINING:
• Charcoal/coal• Palm oil• Alternative/bio fuels• Paper (Eucalyptus tree)
2- Global Warming
DUE TO:Releasing carbon to the atmosphere
RESULTS IN:• Rise in sea level• Polar ice resource is melting
Negative Consequences of Technology:
Two main problem caused by human activities, due to the development of technology is
explained in the video:
MAE 430 - PresentationMINT Lab 5
Positive Role of Technology: Renewable Energy Sources:
Wind Energy
Solar Energy
Geothermal Energy
Ocean Waves Energy
etc.
According to the video, the best way to restore the balance between human and nature is
returning the carbon which was released to the atmosphere back to the earth!
