Extension as critical learning : a systemic response to the global challenge

Very significant inter-relationships exist between the way we humans view the world about us-the perspective we hold about it, if you will-and how we treat that world in terms of what we do to it in the pursuit of our human activities. Essentially we might describe the relationship as recursive: mutually influential. Just as what we see in this world markedly influences what we do in it, so too does what we do in it, markedly influence the way we tend to see it.
