Deep ecology is the modern way of life, based on
the shifting away from the reality exclusively in terms of human values
and experiences |
established by environmental and green groups and
movements. This way of life is noticeable by a new explanation of "self"
which minimizes the importance of the reliance on reason as the best
guide for beliefs and actions together between human organism and its
environment. It then allows importance to be placed upon the basic
values of other species, systems, and processes of nature.
Deep ecology is often stated as "deep" because it
poses the deeper questions about the role of human life in the
ecosphere. From a scientific point of view, deep ecology is in the
fields of
ecology
and system dynamics. But from a spiritual side it is the human species
that forms parts of the earth and it cannot be separated from it.
| Other traditions such as Taoism and Zen Buddhism
have influenced deep ecology over the recent years. This is because
they have a non-dualistic approach to subjects and objects. | |

The world does not exist as a resource to be freely
exploited by human; this is what many advocates of deep ecology believe.
The belief is that the whole system is ethically superior to any of its
parts. Proponents has offers an eight-tier platform to make clear of
their claims. Let's have a look at them:
- There are values in both well-being and flourish
of human and non-human life on earth. It is these independent values of
usefulness of the non-human world for individual purposes.
- It is the fortune and variety of life forms that
contribute to the understanding of each of these values and are also
values within themselves.
- Individuals do not have any rights to lessen this fortune and variety except to fulfill the necessity of human needs.

4. The significant decline of the human
population is well-matched with the growing of human life and their
cultures. It is the growing of non-human life which requires such
decline. |
- Intrusion at present by human with the non-human world is unnecessary, and this situation is deteriorating quickly.
- It is therefore important for laws and government
policies such as basic economic, technological, and ideological
structures to change. As a result, the state of dealings will be
different from the present.
- The ideal change is to appreciate the quality of
life that we currently have rather than holding on to an increasingly
higher standard of living.
- For those human who pledge to proceed have an obligation directly or indirectly to try to apply the necessary changes.
Not normally considered a separate movement, but as
part of the green movement, deep ecologists support devolution, the
creation of eco-regions (an area defined by environmental conditions and
natural features), breakdown of industrialism in its current forms, and
an end to authoritarianism.
| | The attitude is helped by differentiating the
modern ecology movement by pin pointing the human bias in terms of the
environment and |
 |
rejecting the ideas that humans has as the controlling keepers of the environment.
It is a challenge that some critics believes that
deep ecology is highly anti-social and that it advocates human
extermination, or at least a large lessening in the human population.
The view on nature role of food shortages and outbreak in diseases has
been quite debatable in this area. Some critics may describe this as
"eco- dictatorship".
In response to this, deep ecologists maintain that
they advocate a new connection between humanity and the eco-sphere.
