Shelter: More than a
Roof above Our
Heads |
|
Our Cumulative Protection From
the Elements, Our own little habitat Most people in the big cities today, think of shelter
as a: condo, house, apartment, even mansions, but
shelter is more than that. A shelter is a developed form
of protection from the elements that took the length of
evolution to be created. For people, its practically now
our own little habitat having satisfied many of our
needs. Yet, for the rest of earth's inhabitants a
shelter is purely for protection and survival. Its where
everything goes to escape the rain, heat, and cold; its
where we go to hide from danger or unwanted encounters;
its where we feel at ease...at home. Yet, as with many
necessities, it is lacking or lost when either you are
amidst poverty, some
unfortunate circumstance, or when the force of
nature takes it away. That is why there are locations
called "shelters," for people who may have had the
misfortune of losing their home.

The Basic Shelter for
People--Home
Yeah, I know. I have overlooked our homes. Our home. Wow,
nowadays our home is taken for granted, to some it's even an
unbearable hell. In the Paleolithic Era, our home was a
temporary cave or hut made of animal hides and woven plant
matter, since pro-humans tended to migrate often. However,
thank god, the Neolithic Era brought forth the first forms of
permanent settlement--sure it was still huts, but way more
comfortable and actual villages were made. When metal was
found, our houses began to be sturdier, more efficient, and
larger. Now our homes are: sturdy, convenient, technologically
safe, sturdy, durable, and larger. Homes are also
self-expressive by design, and culturally set up, which tends
to be what most people just look at; however, they don't take
the time to think about what would happen if their home was
taken away by one situation or another and most of the time,
don't prepare or get informed. That is an issue that requires
immediate priority.
