Environmental Ethics is a class I'm considering taking in either the Summer or Fall of this year. The topic seemed interesting when I was going over the course catalogue, and after Prof. Martin's lecture I am now thoroughly intrigued. His introduction with the dollar bill as nothing more than a representation of money helped explain where he was going with his topic.
The part of his lesson concerning the evolution of advertising was interesting, too. I always try to analyze what I see on television, especially the things that DON'T appeal to me, to see where the producers are coming from and what target audience they are trying to reach. I guess psychology is just as fascinating as environmental studies for me.
There wasn't anything I didn't agree with or didn't understand from the lecture. He was a good speaker and put together his presentation well. About the only negative connotation I could assign him was his final drawing where he told us all to list words in a circle around the word "Nature" representing what it means to us personally. The discrepency I had was I put the word "complex" down on my list, and when he flashed his list up on the screen he had put "simple". I suppose a philosohy professor might not be as well-versed on the complexities of the natural world as an environmental studies major =)
He was also pretty hot, too...
