Sustainability

History Sustainability traces the human dominated ecological system from the earliest civilisation to the present. When we talk about sustainability, we have to en counter that it’s everything that we need for our survival and well-being. It could either be directly or indirectly (Epa.gov, 2007). When engaging within the Australian curriculum history, sustainability plays a major role in ensuring that the development of historical knowledge, understanding and skills are displayed in a context that allows students to enhance their development (Australiancurriculum,  n.d.).

Let’s take a look at this image fore stance; the whole purpose for this image is for the student to engage, and see of sustainability from a different perspective.  “Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment. (Epa.gov, 2007).

 

This is where student develop their understanding and how to relate in terms of environment changes over time, how much the communities and each individuals contribute in protecting to the environment (Australiancurriculum, n.d.).
