The core ideas behind my diagram incorporate the way humans effect their environment systems. The video shows how biogas is changing the way people are effected in India and the way its also effecting their ecosystem. The system diagram shows how they all relate and how one effect from the biogas leads to another, but in the end they all benefit each other. My diagram is similar to the one from the “What is Ecology” reading because the social system and ecosystem main points relate to the ones in the video. On the social side of the diagram, you see why and how the biogas is effected the values of the people such as more time for studying and working which then effects how their society can make a better income. Whats different about my diagram is the way it is set up. I think that each diagram relays the same information, but can be set up differently depending on the way you want to share your topics or what you might think is most important compared to someone else. This is also why there are similarities and differences. What I thought was most important to take from the video could have been a minor issue to someone else making the same type of diagram.By comparing both diagrams, you can learn what equally effects a social system and an ecosystem.

Zoe, I like how you organized your thoughts in your post and diagram. Your concepts made me get the main idea of the video when comparing your diagram to my notes. I agree with you when you said that everyone’s diagram is different because we each can find things more important than others. For example, mine was a little different than yours because I included a couple problems with the environment and society before the biogas were in place then said how they helped both systems while you just focused on the results of the biogas. Both of our diagrams have equally important information and I can use information from both to better understand this lesson. Overall, I really liked your explanation of your diagram and concepts.
