Title
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas presented a vague idea of an environment taken for granted since not all people have access to it. The story imprints and produces different meanings that depend on the perspective of every reader. Using this story as a foundation for finding an issue, this paper presents environmental issues influenced by human behavior. To elaborate the connection between the story and the environmental issue being discussed and human behavior, the child who was being neglected represents the environment that is also being neglected and is suffering because of the inhabitants. At the same time, the city of Omelas represents the population of those who neglect the importance of the environment because they believe that they are not directly inconvenienced or affected by what is happening around them, even though they live there themselves. Moreover, the ones who felt the guilt and are breaking free from the city of Omelas are the ones who are actively doing something and are now fighting for the rights of conservation and preservation of the environment. These people are the advocates of environment conservation and animal rights which maintains the stability of the ecosystem. How does human behavior influence those who are knowledgeable about the environment towards the environmental issues that society is currently facing?

However, it also serves as an effective way of disseminating correct information and promoting awareness among the people in the community. This will create positive change for each individual who is educated about the reality of what is happening to the environment and the sense of urgency needed to save the very environment that all human beings live in. The movement created regarding the environmental issues that our society face today is a wake-up call for those who are not yet aware of the impact of each one’s actions, urging each one to be involved because this issue is not just about the numerous organizations or the animals in the wild. However, it is about individuals living on this Earth that is home.
Ironically, even though human beings are continuously fighting with all their might to fight the different environmental problems and promote conservation and preservation, there are still informed human...
