Question:
Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the question that follows:
Clearly, a parallel exists between ecology where humans are viewed as an external factor (disturbance) to the natural ecosystem and the modern economic paradigm where the natural environment is viewed as being external to the human economy. In both instances, the all-important dynamic links between the natural ecosystem and the human economy are ignored. Rather, human society and nature should be treated as single dynamic entity (O'Neal and Khan 2000)
Write a short essay that explains how the statements in the above paragraph represent criticisms of both the anthropocentric and biocentric worldviews of the relationships between the human economy and the natural ecosystems.
