Our Accumulation Addiction: The Harm Of Overconsumption And Rehabilitation Treatments For Our Minds And The Environment, Holly Gregory
Our Accumulation Addiction: The Harm Of Overconsumption And Rehabilitation Treatments For Our Minds And The Environment, Holly Gregory
Selected Undergraduate Works
In the same way an addict rationalizes using their substance, environmental degradation has been framed as an unfortunate side effect of our inevitable progress towards a predetermined future. These tendencies are justified using a constructed narrative built on cultural techniques and global systems of oppression, conditioning our minds to be in a constant state of desire. By framing consumerism as an addiction, this analysis questions the source of our unbridled dysregulated desire, investigates potential harm reduction addiction interventions and applies them on a global scale as a treatment for our consumption craving.

Sozialpolitik nach dem Verursacherprinzip ist genau jenes Thema, dass kontroversiell diskutiert wird. Prominente Fallbeispiele wie zB im Bereich der Tabakindustrie in den USA prägen die Diskussion und gesellschaftspolitischen Diskurse.
