advertisement
An Australian geographer, Taylor, given the concept of Neodeterminism.
As per Taylor :

A human can change the environment through various
innovations and activities, but there is a limit to change by a
human, the environment compels them to stop. Examples are:

Climate change: Men are polluting the environment by
wrong practice to achieve high growth in a cheap way. But
there is a limit to growth. Through climate change, nature
compels humans to correct his action against the
environment.

Wrong agriculture practice in Punjab, Hariyana, and
Rajsthan, now productivity in these regions is reducing.

Now Jakarta is submerging in the ocean, due to the
Overexploitation of groundwater.

Overexploitation of groundwater and wrong practice in
the conservation of water, creating a water crisis in many
cities in the world, Chennai is the latest example.

Recently Kerala flood is the result of overexploitation
of western ghats.

The environment is like a traffic controller, a man can
accelerate, slow, or stop the development program of the country
but he cannot go against the plan of the environment.

He suggested that the best development program fo any
country is laid by the physical environment.

In the long run, a nature plan is best

Nature is neutral but human must know the plan of the
environment

Prudent people follow the nature plan, nature is not a
complete dictator
