It is the collection of techniques used to isolate…

and material practices. (Wilbur, p.154).

Thus, all of the decisions regarding the development and implementation of contemporary technologies should be informed by those decisions made in the 1940’s concerning the atomic bomb. These decisions demonstrate the importance of being inclusive in discussions, considering the of impacts before development begins, having an existing problem that needs to be solved, and restricting…

of carbon dioxide emissions.
