Deep Ecology (Capra ) 200words Summary

In this current time, most people are buying the wrong, outdated idea of the world. They have failed to realise that major problems the world is facing are systemic problems, interconnected and interdependent , and are fragments of one intergrated crisis in which cannot be understood on its own. This will not be solve until a paradigm shift into an ‘ecological paradigm’ has occurs and people undergoes an utter change in thier perception, thinking and value.

Ecological Awareness is an acknowledgement of the earth-centred values rather than just a human-centred values. This can be break down into ‘shalow’ ecology which excludes humans from the narural environment and ‘deep’ ecology which recognises value of all living beings and views everything as one unified whole.

Additionally, social ecology and ecofeminism is also an important philosophical schools of ecology that addresses important aspects of the ecological paradigm. Social ecology is the acknowledgement of cultural characteristics and that patterns of social and economics structures along with their technologies are rooted in the ‘dominator system’ of social organisation, whereas ecofeminism views the men domination over woman as a prototype of all domination and is deliquently adopted in various hierarchical forms.

Thus, the shift of paradigms requires not only our changes in thinking but also values in a healthy and dynamically balanced way, it is less self-beneficial and therefore founded difficult by most people. Hence why its viewed most urgent to introduce an ‘ecoethical ethics’, a new systems of ethics related to the understanding of deep ecology that every lifes are connected, to the world especially to the science field. Unless the understanding of ecoethical ethics and a deep ecology paradigm shift has occurs, humans perception of the world can becomes life-threatening to all living beings on this planet in the end.
