Directions for questions 3 to 5: Read the following passage carefully and select the best answer for the questions that follow it “Mandate, regulate and itigate.” That has been the environmentalists’ rallying cry for ages. Nowhere in the green manifesto has there been much mention of the market. And, oddly, it was market-minded America that led the trend towards centralised regulation. Three decades ago, Congress passed a sequence of laws, including the Clean Air Act, which set lofty goals and generally set rigid technological standards. Much of the world followed Americe’s lead. And the approach has had its successes: the air and water in the developed world is undoubtedly cleaner than it was three ‘decades ago, even though the rich word's economies have grown by leaps and bounds. This has convinced such ‘groups stoutly to defend the green status quo. But times may be changing. Gus Speth, now head of Yale University’s environment school recently explained how he was converted to market economics: “Thirty years ago, the economists at Resources for the Future were pushing the idea of pollution taxes. The National Resources Defence Council (NRDC) thought they were nuts, and feared that they would derail command-and-control measures like the Clean Air Act, 80 we ‘opposed them. Looking back, Ié have to say this was the single biggest failure in environmental management—not getting the prices right” In truth, the command-and-control approach was never as successful as its advocates claimed. For example, although it has cleaned up the air and water in rich countries, it has notably failed in dealing with waste management, hazardous emissions and fisheries depletion. Also, the gains achieved have come at a needlessly high price. That is because technology mandates and bureaucratic edicts stile innovation and ignore local realities, such as varying costs of abatement. They also fail to use cost-benefit analysis to judge trade-offs. Command-and-control methods will also be suited to the problems of the future, which are getting trickier. A reason is that the obvious issues—Ike ditty air and water—have been tackled already while future problems will require sophisticated responses. The most important factor may be society's ever-rising expectations: as countries grow wealthier, their people start clamouring for an aver-cleaner environment. But because the cheap and simple things have been cone, that is proving increasingly expensive, Hence the greens’ new interest in the market In recent years, market-based greenery has taken off in several ways. With emissions trading, officials decide on a pollution target and then allocate tradable credits to companies based on that target. Those that find it expensive to cut emissions can buy credits from those that find it cheaper, so the target is achieved at the minimum cost and éisruption. ‘The greatest success story is probably of America’s innovative scheme to cut emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO.) Environmental Defence, a most unusual green group, persuaded the elder George Bush to agree to an amendment 0 the sacred Clean Air Act that would introduce an emissions-trading system to achieve sharp cuts in SO2. Initially ‘America's power industry insisted the cuts were prohibitively costly, while nearly every other green group decried the measure as a sham. In fact, America’s scheme has surpassed its intial objectives, and at far lower cost than expected ED is now advising groups ranging from hard-nosed oilmen at BP to bureaucrats in China and Russia on trading Europe, meanwhile, is forging ahead with another sort of market-based instrument: pollution taxes. The idea is to levy charges on goods and services so that their price reflects the harm they do to the environment and human health, ‘Sweden introduced @ sulphur tax a decade ago, and found that the sulphur content of fuels dropped 50% below legal requirements. Though “tax” stil remains a dirty word in America, other parts of the world are shifting taxes from employment to polluion. 3. ‘Hence the green's now interest in the market.

So, is it possible to be an ethical marketer? In the world of consumerism, marketing is there io promote consumption. But as green issues rise up the agenda, how does marketing fit in? Is it inevitable that marketing will promote over-consumption, and from this, a psychologically, as well as ecologically, an unsustainable world? In theory, there should be ways to control the powerful forces built into the neoliberal, selfish, capitalist system that make it almost unavoidablo. So, is ethical marketing possible? These forces have had a physical effect on many consumers. There is @ ‘sickness’ caused by materialism — the Affluenza virus. It leads sufferers to place too high a value on money, possessions, appearances (physical and social) and fame. As a result of this lliness they are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse and personality disorder. English-speaking nations are more Affluenza-stricken, and have rates of mental illness twice as high as nations in maintand Western Europe. Forget genes as the main cause of mental illness: it's Thatcheriem and Blairism. The underlying cause of these differences in prevalence is potential economy. We have been plagued for 35 years by selfish capitalism, defined as a system that makes short-term share price the main definition of comorate success, that deregulates business (combined with heavy regulation of labour) and privatises anything that moves. It is driven by the conviction that the market can meet nearly all human needs. And a significant part of this system is is rellance on marketing to maintain interest in consumer society. The culture these conditions have created is a major contributory factor to the hugely greater prevalence of mental iiness in the English speaking world. Marketing folk tend to nod their heads at this point but they do not always realize quite how extensive the evidence is nor quite how explicit selfish capitalism is about its {goal of fostering discontent and mental iliness. It goes back to Vance Packard, U.S. author of the Hidden Persuaders (1987). Through interviews with marketing and advertising executives in the mid-50s, he revealed how, after World War Ii, U.S. business had shifted its emphasis from production to marketing. He quotes an executive who summarized the rationale: As a nation we are already so rich that consumers are under no pressure of immediate necessity to buy a very large share ~ as much as 40% — of what is produced, and the pressure will get progressively less in the years ahead. But if consumers exercise their option not to buy'a large share of what is produced, a great (economic) depression is not far behind. “Triumphant Insitute of Management Education Pvt. Lid. (H4M:E.)

The entanglement of science and culture is particularly important to understand because there has alvays been an ambivalence in the way in which scientists have viewed human beings. The development of a scientific worldview has been in large part about the replacement ofthe idea of divine intervention as the means by which order is maintained in nature with the belief that nature proceeds according to its internal, and immutable, laws. This idea found its germ in the laims of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. in the fiteenth and sixteenth centuries, and fully flowered in the work of Isaac Newton, and of the Enlightenment philosophers who followed. In the opening fo his monumental ‘Spint of the Laws’, published in 1748, the French philosopher and jurist Montesquieu set out the new belief that natural or social phenomena were not arbitrary but were governed by specific las which could be apprehended by humanity. ‘Laws in their most general signification’ he wrote, ‘are the necessary relations derived from the nature of things. In this sense all beings have their lews, the Deity has his law, the material World has its law, the inteligences superior to man heve their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws’. From one perspective, this ‘naturalistic’ worldview can be seen as dethroning humanity from its privileged position in the traditional Christian view of the cosmos. The arrival of the heliocentric universe displaced not just the planets, but Man too. With the Earth no longer at the centre of the universe, but merely one of the planets orbiting the sun, Man seemed to become more peripheral, an insignificant part in the order of things. ‘Modern neurosis’, American novelist and eriic Mary McCarthy writes, ‘began with the discoveries of Copernicus’. But if Christian theology had placed Man at the centre of the cosmos, it was also ambiguous about his role there, ‘A special place in the cosmos did not connote special vitue. Man was a fallen creature, whose aspirations to complete knowledge had been shattered by the Fall, and Earthly existence was a miserable and corrupt one. Indeed, the actual Centre of the cosmos was not the Earth, but Hell. By contrast, the new naturalism may have displaced the Earth, but it also exalted Man, and accorded to him a hitherto unknown dignity. As the historian Roger Smith has put it, ‘When Copernicus placed the earth in orbit, philosophers both feared he had displaced man from his central position in the universe and enthused about the elevation of man to the heavens Developments from the Renaissance onwards, therefore, both removed Man from his exalted positon, placing him in the natural order, and celebrated his abilities to’ understand that order. This contradictory sentiment, from Descartes to contemporary Danwinists, has played an important role in shaping the scientific understanding of what it means to be human. One way in which this contradiction has expressed itself isin a peculiar paradox that the modern world has thrown Lup about the meaning of humanness. On the one hand, science has taught us to perceive nature in largely machanistic terms, a process that has driven out magic and mysticism end ‘disenchanted’ the natural world. On the other, we view humans as beings possessing consciousness and agency, qualties dificult to express in physical terms. We are happy to view human bodies as machines; but what we value about our fellow humans is that they do not act as machines ~ as robots or zombies ~ but as people. And if they did act as machines we would think there was something wrong with them, that they were not quite human. Our very success in understanding nature has generated deep problems for understanding ‘human nature. As a result, the problem of how to relate objective knowledge to subjective feelings has been a central theme for science, philosophy and ethics over the past half millennium, In the seventeenth century the great French philosopher Rene Descartes tried to solve this conundrum by separating ‘mind and matter into radically diferent reaims. Matter was knowable to humans, using science and reason. Mind, however, was foreciosed to human inquiry. at least through scientific means. Cartesian dualism stil shapes much of the way we think about the world and our piace within it but for most scientists and philosophers it remains a highly unsatisfactory answer. The unknowable mind has no place within a materialist universe. Richard Rorly suggests that Descartes’ view of the mind is ‘an unfortunate bit of residual Aristotelianism’, or prescientific belief. The mathematician Noeman Levitt similarly describes Descartes’ dualism as a ‘late postmedieval attempt’ to protect the mind from the fierce glare of science. The philosopher Daniel Dennett suggests that ‘Descartes was a mechanist par excellence when it ‘came to every other phenomenon in nature, but when it came to the human mind he flinched’ For Descartes, then, the very capacity of Man to understand nature in mechanistic terms meant that he himself could not bbe understood in those terms. Dualism was not just an unscientific attitude, it also expressed Descartes’ belief in human exceptionalism. “Triumphant Insitute of Management Education PV. Lid.

It seems Crucial to think of humans as conscious agents capable of rational thought and collective action if science itself is to advance. Yet humanism appears to be an obstacle to the realisation of a fully materialist science of Man. By making humans into conscious agents we seem to separate them off from the rest of nature, and hence suggest that the language of natural science cannot fully encompass cur humanness, How this tension piays itself out at any particular moment depends not just on the arguments of scientists, but also on wider cultural views of Man. So long as there remained an optimistic view of what it meant to be human, so long as humans were regarded as exceptional beings, and so long as science was seen as part of the broader project of humanity asserting control over nature, then a fully ‘mechanistic view of Man remained unacceptable, even to most scientists. But as we have become more pessimistic about the human condition, as the exceptional status of Man has seemed a mere self-delusion, and as the idea of human domination has come to be regarded as both hubristic and dangerous, so a mechanistic view of Man, the idea that humans can be understood fully in animal or machina terms, has appeared scientifically possible and culturally acceplable.
