28 Relation of Values to Development What are the results of increasing GNP? –Life Expectancy vs GNP –Well Being vs GNP (actual) –Well Being vs GNP (theoretical)

29 GNP vs Life Expectancy

30 GNP versus Well Being

31 Generalized GNP vs Well-being Curve

32 Environmental Problems in Survival Phase Disease Injury Starvation Environment is viewed as another external controlling force to be overcome; impacts result in a new environmental form that is neither better or worst

33 Environmental Problems in Pre- modern Phase Plagues, famines Wars Drinking water contamination Environment is viewed as nurturing and resistant to human impacts; however, big impacts can bring disaster to family

34 Environmental Problems in Modern Phase Accidents Water, wastewater and air pollution Industrial, toxic, and hazardous wastes Environment is viewed as a source of raw materials and as resistant to human impacts; big impacts can bring disaster to corporations and bureaucracies

35 Environmental Problems in Post- modern Phase Crowding Solid wastes Non-point chemicals Old age Resource depletion Large-scale accidents Global disruption of natural cycles Epidemics

36 Environmental Problems in Post- modern Phase For individualist, impacts to the environmental are often seen as incremental and inconsequential. Environment is often seen as another consumptive good. For egalitarian, any impact to the environment may be disastrous. Impacts are seen as additive. The environment is seen as a place to create the “good society.”

37 Important Environmental Values Value of non-human life? Preservation of richness and diversity of life forms? No, minimal, or tolerable human impacts? Sustainability? Conservation of areas with no human impact?

38 Old Interaction of Technologies with Society Perceived Need Design It Build It Deal with Impacts Attempt sustainability

39 New Interaction of Technologies with Society Survival Needs Hierarchical Needs Individual Needs Egalitarian Needs Seek sustainable systems Design, build, minimize impacts
