Write a 1-2 page paper defining and differentiating between the two worldviews detailed in this week's lecture. describe which

worldview you most closely identify with? explain your reasoning and support your thinking with credible sources

this weeks lecture: nvironmental philosophy

each of you has your own personal worldview. your worldview is how you view our (human) place and role on the earth. when considering your environmental worldview, there are two competing environmental worldviews that are radically different from each other. the worldviews are either anthropocentric or biocentric.

the western worldview is anthropocentric and holds that humans as the supreme species are dominant over all other species and therefore only have an obligation to humans. in this worldview, humans have unrestricted access to all of the earth's resources to use as we see fit.

the deep ecology worldview is biocentric and proposes that humans have a moral responsibility for all species, not just our own. people who hold this worldview believe all species have a right to exist and don't differentiate humans from other species.

as you can see, the two worldviews are very different. one believes humans are dominant while the other believes we are equal.

here is a graphic from the link above illustrating the anthropocentric or biocentric views:

Select the correct text in the passage. the moving continents affect all subsystems on earth. which sentence identifies a potentially negative consequence of shifting continents? the supercontinent pangaea began to break up about 175 million years ago. [during this process, more coastline was exposed as the landmasses separated]. [the rearrangement and displacement of these huge landmasses resulted in the diversity of plants and animals we see on earth today]. [the movement of the plates sometimes leads to earthquakes and tsunamis]. however, over the long course of earth's history, their effects are usually minimal. in oceans, the plate movements usually lead to seafloor spreading. [seafloor spreading often results in the formation of underwater ranges of mountains].
