HUMAN FLOURISHING
Read and reflect on the article “Forget 'Developing' Poor Countries, It's
Time to 'De-Develop' Rich Countries” by Jason Hickel. After reading, answer the
questions that follow:
c. De-development
“de-development” does not tell us to give things up. It is simply about
reducing consumption while maintaining happiness and achieving long life
expectancy. It may also be viewed as “slowing down”. Rapid growth is
partly bad because we tend to ignore the laws of nature. This framework
also allows us to get a better understanding of our existence – of what we
are doing in earth and why.
d. “steady-state”
a step in the right direction and is growing in popularity, but it still doesn’t
get the framing right
e. Life expectancy
is the average number of years a person in a population could expect to
live after age

Traditional livestock practices, traditional leather processing or traditional healing
practices fit to the local environment and might have a positive impact on
development or at least in the struggle for survival.
