Extended  Learning

1. Review the Key Points 

Task 1：Group Work—do the summary of the key points in each part of Chapter 2

Task 2： Individual Thinking: Why do we say that sustainable development is a                kind of values. Please give some professional  quotations and more detailed                    examples to illustrate the opinion.        

 2. Group Discussion:  

(1) How do politics and values inform policy choices, such as those relating to energy?

(2) To what extent must sustainable development necessarily involve major            cultural changes? What do you think they might be and how might they come                about?

(3) To what extent is dialogue the most appropriate way to promote sustainable      development?

(4) What worldview appeals to you the most? Why?

(5) Should one always feed people first?

 3. Case Study 

Bookchin develops his eco-anarchist ideas, arguing that the future is dependent on how humankind steers its relationship with the natural world. He looks in part to the experience of indigenous peoples, as well as to classic anarchist writers, for guidance as to how we should ‘live with’ nature rather than dominate or exploit it. Therefore, for Bookchin, the underlying human problem is hierarchy and inequality.

How do you understand the Bookchin's opinion. And this opinion seems to be  controversial  to many scholars. Please take the racism in the USA as a case to study it further.
