Hello, as the title states my name is Jason Hirons. I currently live in McKinney, Texas however I’m originally from Southern Illinois. I’ve lived in Virginia Beach, San Diego, and Korea. I’ve been to Japan, France, Italy, England, Croatia, Germany, Spain, Slovenia, Greece, Crete, Turkey, Nigeria, Cameroon, maybe a few more I’m missing, and of course Iraq. I’m a 14 year military veteran out on a disability retirement due to injuries and surgeries on my spine. I was an Intelligence Analyst and therefore this topic is near and dear to my heart. My interest in this course is because it is part of my minor in Geography. I’m currently majoring in Psychology with a life sciences option. I hope to be a high school teacher and teach life sciences and social studies in my near future.

As far as a topic that is important is the whole topic of Social Science Perspective. Perspective is often in the driver seat in society. When it comes to these vital topics of environment whether it comes from human impacts, environmental impacts, or the policies that define them; how we ultimately shape the perspective of them will be a large part of our future. These issues are now at the forefront of society and ultimately must be clearly shaped, defined, and packaged in away to effect the appropriate change. Perspective is key in reaching global populations.

I Look forward to working with all of you this semester
