Complete 4 page APA formatted essay: Progress and Responsibility: A Meditative Commentary.

Our ability to control them is obvious yet we got used to them so seriously that we no longer have the ability or chance to exist without them. It can be applied to even most simple light bulb, television or telephone. Without electricity our desire to watch football match will be unfulfilled. Without electricity we can’t call a doctor or police if necessary. Cars? In the modern world the pace of life is so quick that we must be in places at exact times so we can do our work to prolong our existence. And any even the most insignificant technological aspect of the progress pushes us further and further from nature. You may see me as a dreamer or even as a romantic but I admire ideas of Jean Jacques Rosseau and Erich Fromm. Being really important social critics and humanists they both saw nature as the most precious thing. The more progress we have the more unnatural becomes our life. We provide lessefforts and start to live in an illusion of activity instead of living with a real connection to the natural environment (Fromm 72). &nbsp.Look again at what you ignore everyday. Holes in the ozone layer, huge changes in climate and global warming. Extinctions of rainforests. Can we control it? No. What do we do to stop these things from spreading? Nothing. Do we as civilized individuals even think about our place in nature and on this planet? Unfortunately, no.How can we talk about control when the most significant damage done by industrial and technological progress to the nature is totally out of our control.
