dc.description.abstract | Western cultural paradigms have led to unsustainable environmental practices as well as a psycho-spiritual unrest (Fisher, 2012). This theoretical research study examines the underlying 21st century cultural paradigms of materialism and individualism and outlines how they have contributed to our current psychological well-being and ecological crises. The need for cultural rebuilding through education is proposed as a way to address both presenting issues. | en_US |
