1. This activity discusses Jason Hickel's concept of de-development as an alternative framework to traditional growth and development models. De-development focuses on rich countries reducing their consumption to narrow the gap with poor countries.
2. Students will learn about human flourishing in the context of scientific and technological progress. They will explain de-development and how it differs from traditional frameworks.
3. The activity involves students reading about de-development and answering questions in groups to discuss Hickel's views on how rich countries can de-develop without giving things up.

Introduction
This activity presents Jason Hickel’s development framework focused on de-development. As a
departure from traditional frameworks of growth and development, Hickel’s concept of de- development is discussed as an alternative to narrowing the gap between rich and poor countries. Thus, taking off from this alternative framework, the section critiques human flourishing vis-à-vis progress in science and technology.
Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this activiity, the students should be able to:
1. discuss humann flourishing in the context of progress in science and technology; 2. explain de-development as as a progress and development framework; and 3. differentiate between traditional frameworks of progress and development and Hickel’s concept of de-development.
