Key Concepts

In class we been learning about 3 "key concepts".  They are responsibility, perspective and connection.  I'm going to talk a bit about each of them.

Responsibility - There are so many different responsibilities in the world, especially when it comes to Tasmanian Devils.  We have the responsibility to actually do something not just stand there and think that we can't make a change.  People should donate for research and spread the word - this is our responsibility.

Perspective - There are so many different perspectives when it comes to Tassie Devils; farmers, Tasmanian Devils, people trying to protect Tassie Devils, the Government and even you!  All these people/Devils think different things.  The people trying to protect Tassie Devils (also called a conservationist or tree hugger) and you might think that we should protect Tasmanian Devils.  The farmers might think we should let the Tasmanian Devils all die until they are extinct.

Connection - Tasmanian Devils connect or interrelate to a few things like farms, foxes, dogs and the bush. Tasmanian Devils connect to farms because they enjoy eating their livestock. They are also affected by foxes and dogs because they will eat Tasmanian Devils. They have a relationship with the bush as that is where they live, ie. their habitat.
