Senses
1. environment (noun) — sense 1
Definition: The surroundings of, and influences on, a particular item of interest.
Example: What was seen from the top down, as a large environment with many difficult trade-offs, is instead seen from the bottom up--as 10 million microenvironments, each to be regulated in its own right. It is this inversion of perspective that distinguishes microgovernment from other kinds of regulation, and that accounts for its often-bizarre behavior.
2. environment (noun) — sense 2
Definition: The natural world or ecosystem.
Example: It is tempting to speculate about the incentives or compulsions that might explain why anyone would take to the skies in [the] basket [of a balloon]: […]; […]; or perhaps to muse on the irrelevance of the borders that separate nation states and keep people from understanding their shared environment.
Concept: Окружающая среда
3. environment (noun) — sense 3
Definition: All the elements that affect a system or its inputs and outputs.
