In this light, it integrates subjects across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The 21st-century western world is anthropocentric to an extreme; we adopt unreasonably self-centered and self-serving ideas and lifestyles. Americans consume more energy resources per person than most other nations on Earth and have little concept of how human ecology and population biology interface with global sustainability. We draw upon religion, popular culture, politics, and technology to justify our views and actions, yet remain self-centered because our considerations rarely extend beyond our immediate interests. Stepping upward on the hierarchy from "racism," "speciesism" likewise refers to the view that unique natural kinds (species) exist and are an important structural element of biodiversity. This ideology manifests in the cultural idea that humans are distinct from and intrinsically superior to other forms of life. It further carries a plurality of implications for how we perceive ourselves in relation to nature, how we view Judeo-Christian religions and their tenets, how we respond to scientific data about social problems such as climate change, and how willing we are to change our actions in the face of evidence. . 001431587 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 5, 2023). 001431587 650_0 $$aSpeciesism. 001431587 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001431587 7001_ $$aSwartz, Brian,$$eeditor. 001431587 7001_ $$aMishler, Brent Drennen,$$d1953-$$eeditor. 001431587 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303099029X$$z9783030990299$$w(OCoLC)1301899195 001431587 852__ $$bebk 001431587 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-99031-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001431587 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1431587$$pGLOBAL_SET 001431587 980__ $$aBIB 001431587 980__ $$aEBOOK 001431587 982__ $$aEbook 001431587 983__ $$aOnline 001431587 994__ $$a92$$bISE
