When Richard Louve introduced the expanse of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, I felt that Gardner was forgetting about the children that may not know the names to native shrubs, but are aware of other current happenings, such as their counties or community's current relationship(s) with other regions. Perhaps other children are knowledgable of other things , such as the businesses that run through their neighborhood. Just as some children have a hard time adjusting to a large city, other children may find it a hassle to become at ease with nature. If he is to coin a (to say the least) term for the knowledge that kids hold and the connection they feel with nature, it would only be fair, not to mention "politically correct" if he added an intellegence that measures a child's connection to urban life. An even more clever solution would be to justly combine the children's knowledge of nature with a children's knowledge of their surroundings by creating a "community intelligence." By this, I mean that a child would have to be of great understanding of their surroundings and community in order to receive high levels of acheivement in this type of intelligence. I understand that Richard is trying to prove a point that children should be more in touch with nature, but he fails to spill out the other side. Children nowadays, just like then a days, can be connected with the world that is flowing with then, the world around them, which is not exclusive to nature. This includes nature, but stretches out to include the political and economical world that they are enveloped in. An intelligence such as this would help us receive a better understanding of a child's care for the world and their community, which does mean that they would have to be keenly aware of the potential of natural disasters , which would persuade them to become part of nature, thus saving themselves while saving nature, or political/economical "game".
