Week 2 Disc 1 Lib315 Do you agree that we face an environmental crisis, writing homework help

Do you agree that we face an environmental crisis? If not, reread Gottlieb’s description of “eight areas of acute concern” on p. 6-9 of This Sacred Earth: Religion, Nature, Environment and explain why you do not believe these areas constitute a crisis. If, on the other hand, you agree that there is a crisis, explain what philosophical/religious ideas, in your opinion, have led to this crisis. We read at least four theories: Western civilization (see the article by White), Christianity (see Peterson), Patriarchy (see Ruether), and the Enlightenment (see Weiming). Which of the problematic ideas, if any, do you believe is the most fundamental root of the problem? Why? Defend your claims by citing specific passages in the assigned texts.
