It is from this historical process which man transforms and defines the environment in which they live. This continued desire to discover and experience nature, today we can understand it in six historical phases as the mythological conception of nature, the pre-Socratic conception of nature, the medieval conception of nature, the Renaissance conception of nature and the concept modern ecocentric conception of nature and of nature. However, if there was no humanity would not exist the concept of nature. Furthermore, the consolidation of the capitalist system in the nineteenth century intensified the modern conception of nature, once the school starts to act as an ideological apparatus of the state that plays their pupils and internalizes the dominant ideology. Therefore, with all these changes, what is evident is the degradation of nature in favor of economic and technological development that excludes and alienates the vast majority of the population, as a small group of people get richer.
