The ROOT Of All Evil

So I’ve addressed ecofeminism but now lets locate the roots!

It is important to note that there are many different perspectives and variations of ecofeminism. Most of the differences and commonalities can be categorized by Western and non-Western perspectives. According to Ynestra King, in, “The Ecology of Feminist and the Feminism of Ecology” (1989)”, there are four universal beliefs amongst both viewpoints. One being that women are compared to nature and in turn should take on the struggles of nature as their own. Life on earth is a web, not a hierarchy. Balance is important in a healthy ecosystem. And, for human survival (as a species), we must understand the nature around us. From what I learned last week, I am seeing that I do not agree with many Western beliefs. I believe that stems, mainly, from the portion regarding animals. Western beliefs highlight that humans are at the “top of the food chain”, hence should delegate what and how animals are tended to/used on earth. I do not agree with that. The only person that should have that much power is God. One of the arguments is that humans have languages and are cognitively aware (with an emphasis on men). Yet, I beg to differ. The DUMBEST things I have seen done on this planet have all been done by humans- EMPHASIS on men. I do not believe we as humans should have that power nor have the rights to inflict anything on another living being.

Speaking of the earth… for many ecofeminists, the focus of woman and nature is very prominent. For centuries woman have been compared to many elements of nature. For the woman of Garhwal in India, it is not just a comparison, but a way of oppression. Vandana Shiva worked with Third World women, who are still accustomed to “working off the land”. They use the nature around them to sustain their families and duties in the household. By destroying the land around them, one is destroying the the very identity they have established. That is their livelihood and their life source. They are the known experts of said land. For many, it is all they know. Stripping them of this land would take their knowledge and way of life away; unraveling their definition of womanhood. But of course, this works perfectly for patriarchal agendas. Stripping the land AND the woman of the land of their few rights? Great… a “coupon” for oppression.

For a good read, check out Shiva’s work!

  1. I love the energy of this blog post. I think your use of the word “coupon” for oppressing woman and nature (oppress one get both!) is not only a great metaphor, but also a very true and problematic one. Bina Agarwal’s /The Gender and Environment Debate: Lessons from India/ has a short passage about this, where they state “There are significant inequalities in women’s and men’s access to the most productive resource in rural economies, agricultural land…women also have a systematically disadvantaged position in the labor market.” (Agarwal, 137) . As the inequalities in India limit women from owning land, taking away that connection with nature, which doesn’t allow for the land to be used, resulting in oppression for both the women and the land. In your blog you mention a more direct form of this, where the land is just destroyed, but when the land gets taken away from women it still oppresses, but in a different way. Owning private land was something that America fought for in 1848, when women got the right to own land as a part of Married Women’s Property Act, so it feels weird to me that women don’t have access to land in some parts of the world. Not being able to have that connection to the land takes quite a lot of power away from women, which is a scary issue. And then what happens to that land? As you emphasized, men have not used the right to own land very well. Pollution continues to rise and is at an all time high, and as we fight for ecofeminism, that is a problem that should be our highest priority.

  2. I always find it interesting to see the correlation drawn between men of the past and men of today. By blaming all men for the suffering of nature and women, you alienate half of the population that you need to convince of your cause. As much as I would love to be as powerful as these ambiguous “men” you talk about, I am not and will never be one of them. If I was, I would change the climate of today’s world if I could. I would focus especially on how we treat the environment and look at equality. Sadly I will never have this power and most of us wont unless we work together as a group. By alienating a portion of the population that you need to convince of your cause, you shoot yourself in the foot. I have never done that of which you blame men for, yet I am a man. You rope me into an allegation that I have no part in. This doesn’t just happen to me, it happens to any man who has not practiced toxic masculinity or any sort of chauvinism towards their (male) gender. Emphasis on male.

  15. Проверка компаний – критичный
    стадия взаимодействия

    Контроль компании через ИНН

    Изучение компании посредством идентификационного номера способствует установить важные сведения касательно организации.

    Такой подход включает определение посредством официальных порталов
    проверка по ОГРН.

    Контроль по основного государственного номера

    Изучение ООО по реквизита даёт
    возможность убедиться касательно легальности функционирования предприятия.
    Этот код включает основную данные по поводу оформления.

    Какими способами изучить ООО?

    Воспользоваться открытые ресурсы для
    контроля организаций.

    Затребовать справку из реестра юридических лиц.

    Проанализировать доступность документов и прочих обязательных бумаг.

    Оценить имидж фирмы посредством
    комментарии и источники.

    Изучение контрагентов посредством ИНН и реквизита
    – такая процедура залог уверенности во время кооперации.

    Экспертные способы изучения организаций

    С целью чрезвычайно глубокой проверки советуется задействовать
    несколько экспертных способов:

    Изучение денежного положения организации при
    помощи официальных документов.

    Анализ прошлого деятельности через государственных тендерах.

    Отслеживание судебных разбирательств с привлечением фигурированием фирмы.

    Проверка взаимосвязанных участников через специализированных
    платформ.

    Программные сервисы с целью проверки
    контрагентов

    Инновационные решения
    способствуют ощутимо упростить процесс контроля компаний:

    Применение веб инструментов например Контур.Фокус.

    Использование интеграции в целях
    автоматической изучения посредством реквизита.

    Задействование корпоративных платформ совместно с функциями
    изучения партнёров.

    Конфигурация автоматизированных выгрузок касательно
    репутации компаний.

    Нормативные особенности изучения компаний

    В ходе проведении изучения нужно принимать во
    внимание ключевые нормативные моменты:

    Придерживание законодательства касательно охране личных сведений.

    Грамотное оформление договоров на реализацию изучения.

    Обращение внимания запретов по поводу применению полученной реквизитов.

    Консультация совместно с юристами в процессе
    сомнениях.

    Последствия неанализированных партнёров

    Работа с непроверенными партнёрами имеет возможность
    привести значительные выводы:

    Бюджетные ущерб по причине нечестности организации.

    Юридические проблемы наряду с
    проверяющими ведомствами.

    Репутационные проблемы ради вашей организации.

    Утрата возможностей для решение ошибок.

    Периодическая изучение организаций посредством идентификационного номера, ОГРН плюс
    остальным подходам – такая процедура подтверждение эффективного бизнеса.
