it has been stated that since in the 1980s until now, it has become clear that many problems for the society originate from environmental problems, and the problems that are in the environment come from the society. sociology can give us an insight into how patterns of human behaviour create pressure on the natural environment and it is transforming it. some events or activities are not directly influenced by indirectly through pollution, that results in global warming and through that, the climate change which can result in severe climatic conditions (severe  droughts, storm, the heat, and the cold). some of the sociological theories of capitalists expansion, globalization, rationalisation give perception on the negative effect of society on the environment. the meaning of nature has changed over time along with the development of societies. Nature is seen as an obstacle in a way that the society had to tame and master in order to make progress, to some; not so, nature should be protected from the society. from the 1950s onwards nature was reconceptualised as the environment: natural environment or surroundings within which human beings exists. sociology gives us a perception into how patterns of human behaviour create pressure on the natural environment problem, such as destruction of natural habitats, the decline in freshwater, wetlands, coral reefs, the ocean bottoms are being destroyed. reason for destruction include population growth which has led to deforestation in the amazon and elsewhere, and the use of harmful products by human pollute air, water, soil, and pollution.
