In the reading “The Ocean reader by Eric Paul Roorada and what in the passage what stood out is how much involvement of human beings are in the ocean and still has lots of mysteries that we don’t much about.

Roorada says about how humans viewed the ocean and its entirety is that “Those who have considered the watery majority of the planet on its own terms have often seen it as a changeless space, one without a history”(1).

This describes humans people who are just ignorant about our planet and were too busy to try to understand on why the ocean is an important part of our planet and essential to life as we know it to be. It is crucial to have knowledge of the ocean itself because it is a large part of life that is needed and lots of potential to be explored. Most people rather go and discover parts of our universe out in space rather than taking care of our planet.

For what the author puts a spotlight on how humans are seeing the ocean “Terracentrism, a term that is rapidly gaining currency, refers to people’s tendency to consider the world and human activity mainly in the context of the land and events that take place on land”(1). People tendency to dominate other people have been for thousands and what the environment has taken a toll from humans for quite a while and really needs to considered how resources are limited due to climate change.
