Our global situation right now is in a way good and bad. We have technology but we have also created many problems such as over-population, pollution, global warming and war. What leads to our situation right now is that we choose to sacrifice environment for our own benefits and conveniences. We create big factories to produce objects we like and need, but factories are making lots of waste. We choose to use plastic things because they're convenient. We choose to take shower for a long time because we feel good. Not everybody chooses to sacrifice the environment, but most. Since industrialization, we have already made the choice.
Most of time people are thinking about how to benefit themselves rather than how to benefit the environment. That's the reason why people have developed technology, which is good, but that also has brought bad effects on the environment. As a human race, we always have prioritized our economy and our survival; we don't look at the big picture, what might benefit us right now might destroy us in the future. I believe our human nature has brought us to where we are right now.

Justin, I absolutely agree with human nature bringing us to our current global situation. That is what I was saying in my blog as well. God gave us a pair of eyes but sometimes we do not see far enough. It is up to ourselves to save the environment. Do you think it is possible ? Like you said most of us do not think about sacrificing for the environment...
So, I agree with everything you are saying, too, but I am also impressed with your ability to summarize the current global situation in a concise, organized and well-written style.
We will watch a couple of talks in class on Monday that remind us of what you said, that not everyone is working to destroy the environment. They will also call into question whether it really is "human nature" that brought us to where we are now.
I look forward to reading your homework post - hint.....
