INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSPPHY OF THE HUMAN PERSON
A C T I V I T Y S H E E T FOR Module 4
Performance Task No. 5 : THE PRESENT ALARMING ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES :-
Global environmental issues lend themselves to classification At present, philosophy employs the
following classification of global issues: issues related to interrelationships within the “man–man”
system – so called “inter-social” issues. Examples of these include . 1) Depletion of ozone ; 2)
deforestation ; 3) pollution of the world’s waters; 4) Rapid Forest Fire 5) technogenic disasters; etc.
Despite the differences between them, most of the global environmental issues share a number of
common characteristics. Firstly, being of a planetary nature most of them cut across the life interests of
all humanity. Secondly, resolving most of the global environmental issues requires the concerted effort
of all nations. Thirdly, most of these issues are placing human civilization under the threat of demise (or
regression). Thus, the global environmental issues require immediate measures be taken to resolve
them, which, first, signals the need to reflect on the specificity of relationships within the “man–
machinery–nature” system, and, second, provides a rationale for a consolidated effort on the part of
science and morality in resolving technical objectives.
DIRECTIONS: After reading the Module No. 4-Human person and the environment, Write your own
explanation about the five present alarming environmental issues that beset the earth and threatened
the lives of humans.
