Define the theme-Environment


The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.

It is the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded.
The complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors (as climate, soil, and living things) that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival: the aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an individual or community.

Summary: The Environment is a setting. It will always be changing. It involves the nature, the surroundings, the conditions or influence that affects everyone/everything around. It is also about the factors(development & survival) which might impact on the organisms. The impact may be positive or negative. Besides that, the Environment is also about the social and culture nature in the surroundings.
