Thinking About Growth |
 |
|
Values |
|
Views regarding growth are also determined by our underlying values and, especially the relative weight that we place upon competing policy goals. To what extent, for example, should we favor efforts to promote economic growth, jobs and material prosperity among disadvantaged citizens over efforts to protect rare, though not necessarily endangered species. Please rate your support for the following value statements. Agreement level: |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Human Needs - When setting priorities, the meeting of human needs should take precedence over the preservation of natural ecosystems adjacent to urban areas. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Natural Resources - Undeveloped land should be valued primarily as a resource capable of helping society meet human needs. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Social Ecology - Undeveloped natural areas should be valued primarily for the contributions that they bring to human quality of life through activities such as hiking, birdwatching, fishing, etc. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Deep Ecology - Natural areas have an intrinsic right to be protected from human encroachment which is independent of human uses for the land. |
