Blog 17-This is the end

After taking this class, I now have a different perspective of nature and how we as humans affect it. This class has presented the ethics of various philosophers such as Garrett Hardin and his lifeboat ethics, James Lovelock and his GAIA hypothesis, Arne Naeis and his Deep vs Shallow Ecology and Mary Midgley with her ethics towards animals. They all have presented very good arguments that call for a major change in humans.

This class has taught me to be more simple and respectful towards nature and to try and teach others about the problems we face today regarding nature. Though not much was said in discussions throughout the semester, however in these last few weeks, it is evident that this class has taught us something about ourselves and that we are definitely thinking about what this class presents to us. The panel discussions went very well and I glad we were able to discuss other topics instead of just one. Overall this was a great class and I definitely recommend it. Thanks Dr. Langguth and I hope everyone has a great summer.
