Read and discuss about the following information, based on your
philosophical point of view
Aldo Leopold, wrote a famous essay ‘The Land Ethic’, found in his 1949
book, The Sand County Almana. He carried forward a discussion about whether nature should be
preserved only because of its economic and practical benefits for humans or
because it provides value beyond merely supplying natural resources. He
mentioned the songs of birds and the beauty of flowers as being part of
nature’s bounty. He insisted that environmental ethics should focus on systems
and not just on individual things. Our human dependence on nature cannot be
understood without a deep ecological study of the interconnectedness of life.
Me as environmental manager i think that mainly the land needs to be used for ecological things and also for economical things. I think that mainly if the land goes to the ecological side, there will not be economical impacts and at the same time there will not be money for the different countries around the world and the methods of producing goods of land will mainly go down. But in the other side if there is a economical use and an explotation of the land,also in some way there should mainly be a middle value in all of them. If we see the economical value there can be many lost of land there can can be a bigger advance in global warming. So in general i disagree in way that there should not be a deep ecologist view as saying that nature is everything beacuse at the same time we also get feed by nature and mainly some good part of strong resources come from nature. Is better to see that mianly there is a point of view that does not support nor deep ecologist things and also nor the economical side (cornucopian).

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, as land going to different ecological sides, the economical impacts will rise and even different money issues related to different countries and the way they basically produce goods and land will go down, or decrease. I also think that if this happens there will be an advance in what is basically producing global warming. It is important to take into account that land should not only be used for economical manners, but for ecological manners too. Even though, my opinion about this issue, is that we shouldn't go either one side nor the other, meaning, the ecological side and the economical side. Because mainly we get everything from nature, its a substantial need in our lives. (cornucopian)
