When the people talk about to
looking after the environment, I wonder how do they look after the environment?
The people think that recycling and reusing the resource they are looking
after the environment. But I wonder How does get the
paper to their books and/or notebook? How does the meat get on their plate? How does get
the clothes to their body? Those get for the animals and vegetables...And I wonder the
animals and vegetables are not part of green environment? I think that the
relation between human and no human says us something important. To begin to
understanding that our belief about we are over the animals and vegetables is a cultural
construction. In other word, thinking controlling the animals, vegetables and
other no human is a cultural construction and cultural principle that doesn't
make us fine. Thinking that it is better to us shutting up animals in an
artificial corral with a lots of other animals does not make us fine. Injecting
hormone for accelerating the growth of animals or/and exploiting the
ground exhausting its soil, does not make us fine. And this, at to be in
our cultural principles, is in our practices and symbolization.
At least I have rethought the relation human and 'no
human', understanding it as a relation asymmetric-changing, where sometimes I
will depend of an animal, and sometimes the animal will depend of me, and
sometimes the animal and me depend of climate or climate depend of both, nobody control to other.
the occidental human thinks that is over all. Maybe not only the occidental human, maybe is the humanity
ResponderEliminarThe climate its also a living thing because its part of the earth.
