Description:	Humans, with their ability to think, have rationalized aspects of their environments into four successive stages: observation, understanding, prediction, and utilization. Progression through these stages has been slower for some environmental problems than for others because of lesser accessibility—such as great distance from the earth to other members of the solar system or from infrequency of events even before human presence on earth. There are numerous examples of environments that represent each stage of knowledge. Progress from stage to stage had to be slow at first, requiring oral transfer between successive "wise men," then faster, when records of thought could be passed in written form. Later progress was faster still when recognition of the value of prediction and utilization led to financial support by governments and corporations.
