Is humanity suicidal edward o wilson




TEXTUAL QUESTIONS
1: Do you place credibility on the opinions expressed in the essay?
Ans: Yes. In the essay, ‘Is humanity suicidal’, Wilson is making a global wake up call. He describes in detail the destruction of world's ecosystem. The picture he presents is very bleak and according to him the human species itself is an environmental hazard. The control of the ecosystem is impossible because we cannot replicate all the complex interactions and relationships that exist among the millions of species on the earth. Some people may take Wilson’s warnings as mere opinions. But Wilson's arguments are scientific to a great extent.
2: Do you think Wilson’s views are a bit pessimistic?
Ans: No. Wilson is not pessimistic. His words may appear pessimistic simply because he speaks about the extinction of the human species. It is bitter but it is a possible reality.
3: Do you agree that humans must change their behavior in order to survive as a species?
