Climate
Change is one of the most important issues facing society in the 21st
century. People should not only rely on
the scientific research which lead to the advanced technology to prevent global
warming. Some advanced technologies are too expensive and could not effectively
rectify to the damages that we have been done on our planet. People also
realized that the culture is one of the root problems. In an article of Impact of Climate Change
on Cultural Heritage wrote that “There is a wealth of knowledge and
understanding in the arts and humanities that is helping to broaden the debate
on climate change by exploring cultural values, creative endeavors, ethics,
aesthetic, critical reflection, and historical perspectives.”
Younger
culture practices in the name of “free trade” and “modernization” are vulgar
and destructive to the health of the human community. One of the problems with
city-state structure is the excessive accumulation of wealth among the ruling
or merchant classes. Daly suggests that when the difference between the wealth
of the richest in a society and the poorest in a society exceed something
between 10:1 and 20:1. By 1998, the top-earning 1 percent has as much income as
the 100 million American with the lowest earnings.
In American Creed
written by Michael Lind, says “American exceptionalism presents an intellectual
problem.” America continues to be qualitatively different from other advanced
industrial nations. Lipset wirtes, “It’s the most religious, optimistic,
patriotic, rights-oriented, and individualistic.” As the result, the highest
crimes rates and many people are incarcerated. “It’s the leader in upward
mobility into professional and other high-status and elite occupations, but the
least egalitarian among developed nations with respect to income distribution and
providing welfare benefits. The emphasis on achievement, on meritocracy, is
also tied to higher levels of deviant behavior and less support for underprivileged.”
City-state
cultures are hierarchically organized, so there is a concentration of power. In
a younger culture, this results in a concentration of wealth and the existence
of have-nots. As the result, there are more populations, damaging to the
atmosphere, endangering water supply, lesser food and losing more species.
However, the tribal peoples are less greedy and more respecting to other tribes
and the nature. So, they get food from their renewable local sources,
cooperation and gender equality.
