Creating an Environmental Ethic Traditionally, Western views of environment ethics has been unclear and for the most part unnecessary. We used earth’s resources without thinking about consequence. This nonchalant use aided in the West’s ability to influence the world through technological advances. In the past, limited travel and slow communication systems had limited our view to a local one. If pollution or to much urbanization occurred the solution was to move. Industrialization has

Canada, concerns involving environmental security are not the top priority. But due to recent research, Canada must be more strongly committed to environmental security due to increasing environmental problems internationally. There are many ways Canada can stay committed to environmental security, for example, increased funding to Canada’s Department of National Defence’s Environment Department.

“How to poison the earth” by Linnea Saukko can be seen in two different aspects. The first one would be by looking at it in a literal way, in which it will make it a very harsh, inhumane and cold text.

Most view environmental determinism as a racist theory attributing a peoples’ intelligence only to their oppressive climates and geographical barriers. Diamond instead has created a theory that applies environmental determinism to only a peoples’ technology—not the people themselves. This has given researchers valuable tools that allow them

I do not believe that there isn't an environmental, population, or resource crisis, in all aspects. I think that there is. And I don't believe that the situation is becoming better as the author suggests. But there are some problems facing the world today that we must deal with. Such as the over population situation facing many third world countries.      Referring to the figure1-13, I think that the endangered species is the least of our problems out of the degradation of

Please list and explain at least 3 reasons why “Theories” are beneficial to use. The first reason why “Theories” are beneficial to use is that “a theory can provide guidance for investigation”. This means that when we are investigating something we can look at a theory and that can direct the direction that the investigation goes. If the investigation doesn’t go the way that the theory predicts it often means that something is false (Gould & Lewis 29). The next reason is that “a theory can make
