Answer:
Anthropogenic climate changes stress the importance of understanding why people harm the environment despite their attempts to behave in climate friendly ways. This paper argues that one reason behind why people do this is that people apply heuristics, originally shaped to handle social exchange, on the issues of environmental impact. Reciprocity and balance in social relations have been fundamental to social cooperation, and thus to survival, and therefore the human brain has become specialized by natural selection to compute and seek this balance. When the same reasoning is applied to environment-related behaviors, people tend to think in terms of a balance between “environmentally friendly” and “harmful” behaviors, and to morally account for the average of these components rather than the sum. This balancing heuristic leads to compensatory green beliefs and negative footprint illusions—the misconceptions that “green” choices can compensate for unsustainable ones. “Eco-guilt” from imbalance in the moral environmental account may promote pro-environmental acts, but also acts that are seemingly pro-environmental but in reality more harmful than doing nothing at all. Strategies for handling problems caused by this cognitive insufficiency are discussed.
Explanation:
Equiano's explanation is consistent with the views presented in "The Interesting Narrative."
"The Interesting Narrative" is the book written by Olaudah Equiano, where he shows his views on being Nigerian and on the enslavement of Africans by European nations and Africans themselves.
When reading this book, we can see that:
- Equiano shows how slaves in Nigeria are seen as human beings and worthy of respect.
- Slavery made in African nations such as Nigeria is not such an oppressive and violent system.
- He owns slaves himself and these slaves are people who have a job, shelter, and food. This improves the lives of many of them.
- This is completely different from the African slave system in Europe.
- Europeans see Africans as inferior and filthy, inhuman creatures.
- This makes slavery in Europe a violent, criminal and cruel system.
All these concepts are presented in "The Interesting Narrative," which shows that the notion of slavery between Africans and Europeans is very different and has very different impacts on the lives of enslaved people.
