Abstract

El problema de la relación Naturaleza-Sociedad, cada día adquiere una mayor importancia en el mundo de hoy, por cuanto se trata de preservar la especie humana, que se encuentra en franco peligro de extinción. La necesidad de proteger al hombre de los efectos negativos de la naturaleza, no ha desaparecido aun del orden de día, pero con el desarrollo tecnológico alcanzado por la humanidad ha surgido un nuevo problema: ¿Cómo proteger la naturaleza de los efectos negativos de la acción humana? El desarrollo científico-técnico alcanzado en la actualidad, en muchos casos provoca afectaciones al medio ambiente, sobre todo, cuando no se controla. Aquí surge una disyuntiva: ¿Hay que detener el desarrollo científico-técnico alcanzado? ¿Hay que retroceder a los tiempos en que el hombre era esclavo de la naturaleza? ¿Puede hoy el mundo vivir sin esos adelantos científico-técnicos? Evidentemente la respuesta a estas interrogantes es NO. Pero entonces: ¿Qué hacer? De lo que hoy se trata es de hacer congeniar el desarrollo científico-técnico con el medio ambiente, mediante su protección y conservación, para alcanzar el tan ansiado desarrollo sostenible, es decir, que las generaciones actuales puedan resolver todas sus necesidades, sin imposibilitar a las futuras de que puedan satisfacer también las suyas.

Abstract:

The problem of the relationship Nature-Society, each day becomes more important in today's world, because it is about preserving the human species, which is in danger of extinction. The need to protect man from the negative effects of nature has not yet disappeared from the order of day, but with the technological development achieved by humanity a new problem has arisen: How to protect the nature from the negative effects of the action human? The scientific-technical development achieved today, in many cases causes environmental damage, especially when it is not controlled. Here arises a dilemma: Should we stop the scientific-technical development achieved? Should we go back to the times when man was a slave to nature? Can the world today live without these scientific and technical advances? Obviously the answer to these questions is NO. But then: What to do? What is at issue today is to make scientific-technical development compatible with the environment, through its protection and conservation, in order to achieve the long-awaited sustainable development, that is, that current generations can solve all their needs, without making it impossible to the future ones that can also satisfy yours.
