Week 9: The End Goals of Social Ecology
Social Ecology sees humankind's treatment of the environment as a direct result of our belief's about ourselves, our values, our laws, our ideas, and our technologies. The desire for world domination (mwaahahaha) and the drive to populate it, conflicts between races, countries, genders, the capitalistic drive for cash monies above all else, etc., all lead to our problems in the environment. The solution or end goal would be to have humankind have an epiphany and start treating each other with respect and love. By caring about one another, we would naturally also take care of our home.

Michelle, I completely agree with you when you say that human kind will need to have some sort of epiphany in order to start taking care of each other and our world. Either an epiphany or some sort of horrible disaster until people realize the extent of our impact on the environment. The day that someone turns on the faucet and nothing comes out will be the day they realize not everything is a renewable resource.
