Descriptions of global education have tended to be either fragmented or nebulous. Consequently, the educator is left with little tangible basis for developing an instructional program. This paper advocates using fundamental ideas from the fields of geography and environmental sociology, which collectively contribute to the formation of “human ecology,” as a suprastructure for the analysis of current issues that are critical to global well-being. Related concepts were arranged on a flow chart, and subservient issues were factored out, resulting in a cohesive structure that reveals interrelated human/environmental factors that interface the social, physical, and natural sciences
