Oil Pipe Line Essay

Improved Essays
Our planet and they whole system was created for a specific purpose, and each serves God, and our responsibility of, protecting, and maintaining it, has failed. Many current events remind me of, the situations from this module, for example the protest by the Native American tribes against the building of the oil pipe line. While it seem logical to invest in economy sustaining measures for our country, but the problem lies above national patriotism, because our pollution affects future generations of life, to include our offspring. Building a oil pipe line across the country underneath water sources used by a large majority of the middle United States, should involve more investigation of the possible safety hazards to include busted oil lines. …show more content…
Over the years people have failed, so those after us will deal with our faults. I believe since, the industrial revolution and the massive advancement in business practices, our culture has adopted an aggressive consumer habit. This Goal by, a business to raise profits for investors, and high salaries for those on the top, also influences unethical practices. Many cutting corners to offer cheap products, but people still chose cheap products. Those with the integrity to speak out, are the minority in a very materialistic society. So, why would God put so much effort to create the vast and beautiful life, water, air, and land? For people, to charge each other for water, air, and land? We need to start with our own life, by loving all of God's creations and being more aware of our affect on our surroundings. I feel religion has no relation on people's need to respect our surrounding life or caring for Earth. Native Americans are a good example of an ethnic group who cherished Mother Earth, water, wind, and the sun, but they were never influenced by Christianity's moral customs and traditions. Therefore, everyone benefits from a thriving environment with clean air, water, and land, and religion is only one tool used to influence people into taking action against greed. But eventually all the goodness from this world will become

    But how to generate or distribute wealth efficiently is technical problem”. The problem with this statement is that religion shapes the way we think and equally drives culture; culture drives social forms; social forms drive development.

    Personal perspective It seems to me that humans have been programmed to think that they need to fulfill their every craving, their every desire and this is why global warming is getting worse. In our conditioning as human beings we have set up societies that rely on these superficial needs and our lifestyles are comprised of actions that continually destroy the very part of the natural world that we all need to stay alive. Sadly, our actions are at the expense of our own well-being and the planet and the other creatures we share it with. It is as if we are blind to our own destruction.…

    The Earth is currently facing detrimental environmental issues. These issues have been evident for decades; however, many people have continuously denied them to be problematic or even their existence entirely. While these critics have managed to get away with the rejection of these problems for many years, it is no longer deniable that the issue of environmental degradation is very real and in need of immediate action. Much of the population has come to understand this, and have executed a variety of modest attempts to increase environmental sustainability. However, these efforts have demonstrated to be of minimal effect in solving the large-scale issues directly causing the degradation.…

    One can say that Christians should be a steward towards environment and how they conserve it; since the environment belongs to God and without God the world will not exist.
