An essay on "The Land Ethic" by Aldo Leopold.

When one looks at their "property" they think of the land that they own and not the land that has been provided for them. In Leopold's concept, land is viewed as we would view our neighbors or family, as an entity that deserves respect, fairness and care. He compares an empty lot to our dieing mother's house with the question of "Would you tear down your mother's house to install a parking lot or another …

…to fix the problem that was created over thousands of years. In conclusion, I believe that if people in this modern selfish world were to look at it as if "I", the person and not the people, am going to die or suffer because of this then maybe something good would become of this and the world may change for better. Until then, it can only get worse as history has proven time and again.
