"Criteria for a Healthy Landscape"

After reading "Criteria for a Healthy Landscape," I had no clue what Paul Groth was talking about. Right when I read the first criteria, "A healthy landscape connects its participants to themselves as individuals," it made no sense to me whatsoever. After reading it a couple times, I think what I understand from it is that Groth is making a criteria for us humans, our "landscape." So, the first one shows us as individuals making a living, which will lead to the many obstacles that come with life. The second criteria shows that we should always have some type of contact with other people, making us social beings. The third criteria showing that we all need to have a sense of stability and control, without it there may be chaos. The fourth one states that one should be flexible, and be able to do different things and be ready for change. Fifth says that we should be open to everything and everyone. Sixth is the fact that everyone needs to connect with nature, and not just wilderness but the human part too. Lastly is seven, the one I like the most, is that everybody is doing their own thing in the world and that is what shows we are thriving. Anyway, that is what I understood from the reading, a criteria for a healthy landscape is something all us humans should follow. I think I will be using the seven criterion for my life, from now on.
