AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE: Oil Spill Articles, Ethics Essays, and Environmental Philosophy Essay Assignment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After completing the readings below, compose an essay in which you respond to the following prompt:
Moncrief argues that White’s claims (about the ecological crisis being deeply rooted in religious ideology) are too simple. While Moncrief appears to agree with White that the JudeoChristian tradition has fewer constraints on human domination of nature, Moncrief thinks there are other factors that are more fundamental to our current ecological crisis. What is White’s argument? What is Moncrief’s rebuttal to White’s argument and what factors does Moncrief attribute to the cause of the ecological crisis? How might White respond to Moncrief and his claim that non-religious factors have influenced the ecological crisis? Whose arguments do you find most persuasive, and why? Explain your answers in detail. Be sure to also use one or two examples from the two articles on oil spills to support your arguments.
