Cornicopian thoughts on Capitalist vs. Communist societies and their sustaiability of resources with development

As cornucopias we think that now in these days economy is a big factor that affects how people think and as well act upon their care for a sustainable development. As cornucopias we think that everything revolves around technology and life without it would not be the same, it helps our world to develop and improve in every sense. Cornucopia theory states that when population increase, labor again increases making profit increase, therefore stating that luxury will increase. Making everything revolve around luxury and the way that cornucopias think goes around that idea. Cornucopias in some way agree or go along the idea of Capitalist that economy is much more important than anything else because it will lead development of their countries. It is seen that there is a difference between the way of seeing things from Capitalists view vs. Communist view on the way that development should go according to sustainability.

The pie chart above shows the percentage use of energy from the United States which is a very big capitalist country.  By seen this pie chart we can tell that the source of energy they use the most is petroleum. Therefore being a capitalist country forces them to have more industries and use this type of energy that contributes with greenhouse gases to the environment. Petroleum is a non renewable resource therefore it is not as sustainable as other resources that should be used.

The bar graph above shows the difference between the use of energy from a capitalist country. (US) and a communist country (Cuba). We can see that the way their economies are organized affect on the amount of energy they use. Therefore the amount of energy they use reflect on the harm they cause to their environment and what type of resources they use.

As cornucopias we believe that we should use the resources that allow us to have a solid economy now a days rather than focusing on what will benefit us in the future. As humanity progresses so will technology and we will be able to make other resources helpful instead of using resources that aren't as sustainable now a days. We believe that the capitalist are doing the right thing because they are using the resources that will help them economically rather than focusing on its sustainability. In the future we will develop technology and be able to have a strong economy but now a days we should use what is best for us.



As the image above shows burning of fossil fuels its what keeps the economy in the world stable. Therefore we can conclude that we should use what will benefit us today, instead of focusing.
