The Curse of the Self - Mark R. Leary
This source is about the personal and social problems that stem from self reflection. Based on the table of contents the book will talk about why it is so difficult for humans to become self aware based on things like ego and religion or morality. It constantly mentions how we are "egotistical" and "egocentric" animals which is what makes it so difficult.

This article is about how crucial it is to make steps in the right direction for climate change. This article will talk about what will happen if we don't make any changes and what changes we need to make to make a difference.
Can we Slow or Even Reverse Global Warming?
This article talks about if it is still possible for humanity to slow or reverse climate change and what we need to do to make his happen. It also mentions how long it will take for temperatures to stop rising, and in turn begin to decrease.
This article claims it is never "too late" to make a change for climate change. Temperatures are projected to continue to increase in the coming years and scientists claim it is going to take drastic measures to stop this from happening. Scientists are researching "geoengineering" which is also known as "climate engineering" to slow the affects of climate change. I learned that no matter what we do to fix climate change it will take decades to see a difference in the environment, and even though it will take a long time we must stick through with the policies meant to make a difference. I can use this in my essay to reinforce the idea that we need drastic measures to make a change and that even if it’s going to take a long time we have to stick through with the changes.
