Topic--Biocentrism

My part of the paper--What is classified as a living thing?

Thesis--One could posit, the relation between humans and their environments is one which should be symbiotic. Said environment could be considered ones direct living area and span into the depth of space and time. Organisms seeking an understanding of other organisms existing in the given environment, preservation of one’s environment through use of resources at a rate only necessary for the sustainment of a population as well as replenishment of used resources, and continued research towards understanding ones place in an environment on any scale are arguably keys to said symbiotic relationship and are critical in the preservation of ones biome and the understanding of it.

This week, you will assemble at least five scholarly academic references that will be used to write your section of the research paper for the team Course Project. This is an individual assignment, and each team member must submit an original document that identifies potential sources for their subsections of the team Course Project. These sources will be the building blocks for your draft, so be sure to spend time searching for sources, reading critically, and considering your selected source material in relation to the team preliminary thesis.

You will need to list your references using APA format and provide a brief explanation of each resource indicating how that resource will be used in your portion of the Course Project. Citations should be academic or industry based in nature and gathered from reputable sources. The focus should be on your specific research assignment and connections to your thesis. An approximate length for this bibliography is two to three pages.
