Arne Naess’s The Shallow and the Deep Ecology Movement, tries to present an argument for the deep ecology movement. The shallow ecology movement is just as that, shallow. It does not want to focus deeper into the issues its trying to fight. The shallow ecology movement is trying to fight pollution and decrease in resources, but its not focusing beyond the surface of these issues. However, the shallow ecology movement attracts the most attention and is more known. According to Naess, the deep ecology

the search for an objective consciousness and state of active deep questioning and meditative process as a way of life. Arne Naess said that deep ecology is “The shallow and the deep, long-range ecology movement”- This quote describes the deeper, spiritual approach to nature. This deeper approach allows us to be more open and sensitive to ourselves and nonhuman life. Arne Naess developed two ultimate norms which were brought by deep questioning and reveal

large majority of the same concepts in which they want to work towards the best interest of the forest and environment, and for the majority focus on the fact that humans are interfering with the forest to much as it is, and it needs to be changed (Naess, 264). Environmental justice focuses on how currently there is an elitist membership and narrow scope in the current conventional environmental practices and tries to work towards sustainability(Gottlieb 1993). When both of these collide they create

Preservation: A Third World Critique” written by Ramachendra Guha, a sociologist and historian involved in ecological conflict in the East and the West. In this article, he refers to American environmentalism as “deep ecology”, a modern theory founded by Arne Naess. Guha’s argues that based on a comparison of the concepts of deep ecology and other cultural environmentalisms, deep ecology is strictly rooted in American culture and thus, leads to negative social consequences when it is applied to the Third World

Explanation of Views This section examines the theories of Immanuel Kant, Tom Regan, Peter Singer, Paul Taylor, Aldo Leopold, and Arne Naess. These philosophers have different approaches to environmental ethics, and this paper discusses what constitutes moral standing, who or what deserves it,

moving towards a capitalist mindset, only caring about their own personal gain. Deep ecology is defined as “an environmental movement and philosophy that regards human life as just one of many equal components of a global ecosystem” (Google).

As we continue to grow and have a greater impact on the Earth’s systems, it is essential that we address our role and relationship with nature. The separation of humans from nature encourages environmentally irresponsible behavior because it allows us to take on the conqueror role, giving us the ability to manipulate the landscape with the duty to provide and proliferate. Throughout human history, we have made advancements in technology and agriculture, resulting in the imbalance and overuse of land

While our human ancestors have existed for six million years, we have only been civilized for two hundred thousand years. The industrial revolution, which was the most ample contributor to the emissions of damaging chemicals that destroy the environment such as smoke and carbon began in the 1800s, which was a little over 200 years ago. The ozone layer can be found in the stratosphere of the earth and is made up of ozone or a variation of Oxygen known as O3 which is a very unstable molecule, meaning

The research provided me with very useful insights. Deep Ecology, by the way, is a movement developed by Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess in early 1970s where humans are not apart from nature, we are inside and our acts have consequences in the environment.

Naess created an eight-point platform of deep ecology, a few of which are that there is value to human and non-human life, the values do not depend on man's needs for the non-human realm, and unless a vital need has to be fulfilled, man has no right to the
