\nREAD THE Time article from February 2nd, 1970, \u201cFighting to Save the Earth from
\nMan\u201d on the link above. The assignment is to write a paper comparing and
\ncontrasting the environmental situation as outlined in the article in 1970,
\nwith that of today.
\npaper should be 12 point, double-spaced and fully referenced in APA format. Any
\nand all statistics, quotes or references must come from reputable sources and
\nbe cited appropriately.
\nThe paper must specifically address the following points:
\nWherever there are statistics on environmental pollution, wherever possible,
\nupdate those statistics for today and discuss how they correlate (better\/worse)
\nwith the situation as it prevails in 2012.<\/p>\n
The second paragraph begins, \u201cThe environment may well be the gut issue that
\ncan unify a polarized nation in the 1970s. It may also divide people who are
\nappalled by the mess from those who have adapted to it.\u201d In the context of
\ncurrent world politics, analyze to what extent this statement is still valid.<\/p>\n
On what basis might ecology be called \u201cthe subversive science\u201d?<\/p>\n
People in 1970 were not as concerned or conscious of climate change as a global
\nthreat (though even in 1970, it gets a mention), but the much more tangible and
\nimmediate polluting effects of industrialized civilization, about which they
\nwere very concerned. Have people become more or less aware of environmental
\nproblems since 1970? How has that awareness changed and what impact do you
\nbelieve the movement of the late 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s impacted on our
\nunderstanding of environmental problems today? You must cite evidence, polls
\netc to support any claims you make with regard to these questions.<\/p>\n
According to the article, the balance of nature is \u201cgoverned by distinct laws
\nof life and balance\u201d which \u201cMan has violated.\u201d To what extent do you believe
\nthis statement to be valid? Support your answer with at least two specific
\nexamples.<\/p>\n
\u201cVariety is nature\u2019s grand tactic of survival\u201d. Comment on the validity of this
\nstatement with reference to an ecosystem of your choice. Contrast it with a
\npractice from industrialized society which seems to contradict this.<\/p>\n
What is meant when Paul Ehrlich is described as a \u201cNeo-Malthusian\u201d? To what
\nextent were Ehrlich\u2019s predictions borne out?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf technology got man into this mess, surely technology can get him out of it
\nagain.\u201d To what extent do you agree with the validity of this statement?
\nSupport your answer with specific evidence of technology solving and\/or
\nexacerbating an environmental problem.<\/p>\n
The article posits that there are a, \u201cfew deeply ingrained assumptions\u201d such
\nas: \u201cnature exists primarily for man to conquer\u201d, \u201cnature is endlessly
\nbountiful\u201d and civilization should always seek to \u201cproduce more than you can
\nconsume, so that you can produce more.\u201d Cite examples to illustrate whether
\nthese are widely held assumptions today. Analyze to what extent these are false
\nor dangerous assumptions.<\/p>\n
The article concludes with a list of possible solutions, indicating that the
\n\u201cbiggest need may be a change in values.\u201d What kind of values need to be
\nchanged and what values should replace them?<\/p>\n
The late, great citizen scientist and ecologist, Barry Commoner, who passed
\naway this year, is quoted as saying \u201cWe have the time \u2013 perhaps a generation \u2013
\nin which to save the environment from the final effects of the violence we have
\ndone to it.\u201d More than a generation has now passed by, indeed almost two
\ngenerations since he said this. How much time do we have left?<\/p>\n
