Question 13
Raskin et al. and the reading from Turner and McCandless (2004) “How Humankind Came to Rival Nature” both assert that
Humanity is at the beginning of a new stage of social development, with pressing environmental challenges yet better understanding of the human-environment condition
humans have always impacted their environment there is no need to be concerned about contemporary environmental changes
Contemporary environmental degradation and change will likely doom all societies to failure
Human-caused transformation of the environment is an entirely new feature of the industrial revolution
Question 14
Which of the following best characterizes the Green Revolution (GR) that began in the 1960s?
the social upheaval that lead to the founding of modern environmental organizations and events such as Earth Day
advances of agricultural science and increasing crop yields combined with the diplomatic and political work to distribute those advances to LDCs such as India
advances of agricultural science led to increased crop yields
the cultural and economic changes experienced in China as a result of the Great Leap Forward
Question 15
In Turner and McCandless (2004) “How Humankind Came to Rival Nature” and the charts from Raskin et al. in the lecture, the phases of human development follow a logarithmic-logistic model where the duration of each subsequent era decreases by a factor of 10. For instance, the stone age lasts 100,000 years while the early civilization age lasts only 10,000 years. Why might this be?
the societal transitions are spurred by not only technological advances but also population, which has a tendency to increase exponentially and spur changes in the the organization of society
At each transition there has been a major social or environmental catastrophe which forced people to advance to a new phase
there are regular environmental changes that happen naturally, without any influence from humans, and at the same time as the great societal transitions
in each phase people are much smarter than before, so they need less time to transition to a new era
