I know this is a little lait, but the discusion we had about how societies have grown through the ages goes into what I have been studing in sociology. To look at how people have respencted nature and animals have changed also. The western culture do see animals and nature as just another resource and how to make a profit from it, but is our culture always going to be this way or will it to change over time and socioties change? This is the real question that I got from reading this section of the book.
