Improvement is to make better. Development is to make better. Therefore, to
accomplish this parameter the course must be focused on the community. If the
community is "made better" then the individuals within the community will be made
better. Or vice versa, if each individual is "made better" then the community will be
better because of it. So key words need to be self-improvement, community
improvement, and sustainable development.
8) an emphasis that human endeavors must operate within the capabilities of the
functions of natural systems.
All natural systems have a carrying capacity. If all aspects of this carrying capacity
are not met, then environmental degradation occurs. Key topics to accomplish this
parameter are degradation, sustainable ecosystems, and coexistence.
9) the promotion of the concept of a qualitative change as a measure of success
(development), rather than a quantitative change as a measure of success (growth).
To discuss the differences between qualitative vs. quantitative an instructor must
define "quality of life". Is a better quality of life achieved by having more (quantitative)
or by increasing the degree of excellence at which a person lives (qualitative)?15
