Green Critics in Contemporary Society

Introduction

Green politics refers to the political sphere of the Green movement, an international movement that often overlaps with other political movements but tends to describe itself as more than merely political and concerned with more than just specifics of governance. The theory of Green state is relatively a new one, which is now days being researched by many political scientists. Many scientists have debated about the significance of the green state in the theory of contemporary society, and also researches are being conducted on its importance and efficiency. Many literatures have also claimed that how a relevant theory of the state defines the state's cultural and ecological purpose is usually missing. In broad ways Green politics can be defined as the issue of ecological survival. It also has been argued that politics is relevant within this theory, as there is no left or right element in the green movement.

Some people do support the form of power but majority does not. From above discussion we can see that every individual environmentalist has different views on green criticisms of contemporary society (Jacobs, 2012).

Green politics has some unique features that have also been criticized. The first issue concerns the temporal frame of green politics: as expressed in its central concern with ecological sustainability and sustainable development, it suggests the integration of a concern for the future and for future generations. From a green political point of view, the future needs to be included as an explicit, rather than implicit, dimension of contemporary politics to ensure decisions today do not detrimentally affect those yet to be born. The second issue has to do with the fact that ecological problems do not respect national or cultural boundaries. This is an issue of scale. Pollution problems such as, most dramatically, climate change are transnational and global in ...
