Exersice 1.5

What is the relationship between nature and human health? The primary purpose is to find the effects of nature on humans as a whole and in what aspects are most commonly found in people who have been out in nature. I am really interested in finding out why nature is so beneficial to a persons health.

The purpose for this exercise in The Curious Researcher by Bruce Ballenger is to be able to develop a research topic more fully. Using an exercise like this also helps in the research process by providing specific topics to research in a database or other form to find credible sources.

  1. I'm interested to see how you'll continue to refine this fairly broad topic. For example, you could pick a particular aspect of nature (like the ocean, or mountains, or jungles). Or, you could focus on a particular segment of people: children, young adults, or the elderly. You could even merge those two filters together in a specific way. For example: What effect does engaging with nature have on college students' stress? Of course, you might not be interested in any of these angles, but perhaps one of my suggestions sparks a new idea for you.
