Week 7 - Nature and Government

During Week 7, we began to discuss the controversy between the economy, governmental structure and their impacts on nature. Of course government/economy and nature can co-exist, but they must be monitored carefully. If nature is sacrificed too much, the economy will expand, but it could lead to devastating impacts in our future. This was a very interesting topic, and it was one that I thought applied to the outside world the most realistically. When it comes to this argument of economic impacts on nature, I feel that for the advancement of humans some nature will have to be sacrificed. However, some of it is completely unnecessary. Many products and knockoffs of other products are just wasted in the economy, not being bought and increasing the waste generated.
