The question to ask in this case is, are we actually changing our world. Of course if you look at the environmental aspect of it, most people say that we are harming our future. However, if we go more on the economic side, there are discussions about the money we spend, but actually I think it is just the greed of humans.
The Environment:
As you and I might have noticed people keep talking about global warming. What is global warming? Global warming is actually debated, but what we know for sure is that climate destabilization is happening. This means that the temperature is changing. But is it really us who are impacting this? I think that it could be partly the 21st century, but we shouldn’t forget the past like the 20th century. Today, we use cars and fly around the world in a day, which wasn’t the case 50 or more years ago. For sure our fast transportation from one place to another has caused pollution which ended up harming our planet. However, many years ago nuclear weapons were tested, not knowing what the hell they actually do to our planet. This example shows that the non-existing pre-knowledge of the past has contributed to the environment which is today. So if we look at the aspect environment, I think that it is the people of today that are harming our planet but also the past. The only difference is that today, we know that we are harming our future so we are trying to find solutions to make it a better world.
The Economics:
Coercion is a technique which isn’t just used by the CIA, malls, casinos or some car dealer. It is around us 24/7 and most of the time we actually get tricked by it. For example right now my phone is next to me, but it has a huge scratch, so I kind of want a new one. The fact is that I am really tempted to get a new phone, because the people around me have the new iPhone or the blackberry or some new technology. The truth is probably I don’t even need a new phone, but I am getting put under pressure to get a new one, this is similar to coercion. However, not only that, but at the moment the world is having a financial crisis, most Dads are in front of the TV with bags under their eyes. This is because the car industries and banks are going “down”, so probably right now thousands of customers are trying to be coerced to buy a car, even though they know that the finances aren’t so good right now and that their wife would kill them. The reason why the car industries like Ford are trying to sell their cars is because they are in deep trouble and on the edge of shutting down. Due to their own greed, they are trying to make other people buy their cars so that they are standing a better chance. = Greed
In conclusion, I think that most of the events that are negatively influencing our world or our future are done or made by humans, due to their personal greed.
