Question Description
DIRECTIONSfor the question:Read the passage and answer the question based on it.According to AmeNaesss own criteria, eco-feminism is not shallow insofar as it is anti-anthropocentric and acknowledges the moral value of non-human entities, apart from their usefulness to humans. Although eco-feminists emphasize the role of patriarchy in creating and propagating ecological oppression, patriarchal thinking is not necessarily considered the root cause of anything. In fact, patriarchal attitudes and practices interact with other systems and logics of domination and oppression, such as racism, anthropocentrism, classism, and heterosexism to form a de-centered matrix of oppressive attitudes, theories, and practices. Every aspect of this matrix has been constructed within a complex network of historical, economic, political, and environmental factors.Those eco-feminist writers who have explored the complexity of the connections and relationships among various oppressions and social constructions, do not claim that womans perspective provides the perfect vantage point to determine the causes of ecological destruction because they realize, and in fact assert, that no such unitary perspective exists. The arguments of many prominent eco-feminists rest on the fact that the perspectives of females, colored people and other historically disenfranchised groups are virtually missing from the history of academic thought, and also that certain theoretical and ethical insights may be gained with attention to these perspectives. Although Naess asserts that a theory is deep insofar as it refuses to ignore ‘troubling evidence" about the roots of ecological destruction, Deep Ecologists tend to ignore the troubling fact that anthropo-centrism and other oppressive attitudes towards the non-human realm actually feed and are fed by human oppression and subjugation. Deep Ecologists ignore a significant facet of the matrix of oppression and domination by ignoring the extent to which mutual human interactions determine and are determined by human interactions with the non-human realm.Given the complexities of an eco-feminist analysis of the population problem, of practical solutions and an ethics, that addresses the many facets of the problem, will be equally complex and multifaceted’. One emerging imperative is the recognition of the ethical necessity of ‘womens empowerment. Such an imperative cannot emerge from a one-dimensional Deep Ecology analysis which views anthropo-centrism as the sole root of environmental destruction and which posits humans as an undifferentiated species. Women must be empowered with regard to their own bodies, their role as creators of culture, about their role and power in sexuality their self-creation of identities other than as mother. An ethic that addresses the complexities of the population problem will include an acknowledgment and analysis of women’s empowerment and the need for economic empowerment of the poor, and will offer a thorough critique of genocidal and racist programmes and policies. A medical ethic which addresses the need for safe, practical, non-paternalistic health care options for women and the poor is a necessary aspect of any theory which addresses the population issue.Some Deep Ecologists and even some eco-feminists, have argued that Deep Ecology and eco-feminism are theoretically similar, share common goals, and are in agreement concerning the positive programme of radical ecology. But the differences between the two are not superficial, and they mark serious disagreement concerning the basis of ethics, contextualization of ethical issues, and the interrelationship of ethical issues seemingly confined to the human sphere with those that obviously involve ‘non-human entities.Q.According to the author, empowering women being an ethical imperative, it should bea)A single-point focus, emerging from deep ecologyb)A multi-point agenda emerging from deep ecologyc)A single-point agenda, not emerging from deep ecologyd)None of the aboveCorrect answer is option 'D'.
