There is a great deal of individualization involved in the process of learning for every one of us. The subject "Is Man a Machine?" was presented by Will Durant in his wellknown book, The Pleasures of Philosophy. In the study titled "Is Man a Machine?", Durant composed lines that are regarded to be masterpieces. These statements include: "Here is a youth; When you take into consideration the fact that it is striving to lift itself to a vertical dignity for the very first time, it is doing it with both fear and courage; why should it be so eager to stand and walk? In addition, why should it shake with an insatiable curiosity, with a hazardous and unquenchable ambition, with touching and tasting, with watching and listening, with manipulating and experimenting, with observing and wondering, with growing—until it weighs the globe and charts and measures the stars at the same time? The ability to learn, on the other hand, is not something that is exclusive to human beings to possess. This extraordinary phenomenon may be seen in even the most fundamental of species, such as amoeba and paramecium, which are examples of simpler organisms. There is also the possibility that plants exhibit intelligent activity. When it comes to the natural world, the only things that do not take part in the process of learning are those that are not alive. From this perspective, it would seem that learning and living are inextricably linked to one another. It is not possible to acquire a great deal of knowledge about the domain of nonliving items that are produced by nature. Machines are nonliving organisms that humans have developed and referred to as machines. Is it possible for us to put learning into these devices? It is considered a pipe dream that one day we will be able to create a computer that is capable of learning in the same way that humans do. In the event that this objective is accomplished, it will result in the development of deterministic machines that possess freedom (or, alternatively, the illusion of freedom to be more precise). We will be able to boldly say that our humanoids are a depiction of people in the form of machines, and that they are the most comparable to humans in appearance. This will be possible throughout that period of time.

Over the last 50 years, human activities - particularly the burning of fossil fuels - have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap additional heat in the lower atmosphere and addict the global climate in the last 130 years, the world has warmed by approximately 0.85oC. Each of the last 3 decades has been successively warmer than any preceding decade since 1850. The seas levels are rising glaciers are melting and precipitation patterns are changing. Extreme weather events are becoming more intense and frequent. Although global warming may bring some localized benefits, such as fewer winter deaths in temperate climates and increased food production in certain areas, the overall health effects of changing climate are likely to be overwhelmingly negative. Climate change affects social and environmental determinants of health - clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter.
