Industrial Progress: Wonderland or Wasteland?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
Reviews two articles by Thomas Berry and Arne Naess that show
that some people will argue that industrial growth can be
accomplished without damaging world ecosystems. In fact, the
present consumer attitude is amoral because it does not generate
the sense of right and wrong that is required in order to act in
an environmentally responsible manner. In actuality, industrial
growth does not equal human growth. This paper takes the stance
that the consumer/industrial attitude is not compatible with
environment ethics. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
