Ch. 15 P. 1 Reading


What angered me in this reading is that none of the empires really cared for anything either than their own benefit and well being.  They did not even take in consideration what they were doing to these established environments such as in North America.  Europeans and Russians did not realize the extent of the harm that they were creating for the natural environment which could have lead, if it did not, to the extinction of animals in certain regions simply for fur and comfort of the wealthy back home.  As our discussion in class to the Apple products, there are many more products being made that are currently influencing a society in a negative manner.  Some include some of our beloved name brands and jewelry.  What makes us guilty is that we know where most of these items are produced and how, we just simply don’t have the guts to do anything about it to try and change it.  In the least of the cases we should stop using these certain products, but we don’t simply to look nice according to our society which is the saddest part.
