 A very good afternoon to everyone present here. I, on behalf of the English Department, welcome you all to another webinar series. Today, we have a speaker, Miss Kevibino Mujole, which she will be speaking on the topic ecological concerns in the writings of the history of Korea. Let me just give brief information or introduce the speaker to every one of us here. Miss Kevibino Mujole is an assistant professor in the Department of English. That's a college team of four. She holds an MP degree and has cleared the VGC net inside her teaching profession. She is pursuing her Ph.D. from Nagaland University, Myanmar and has also served as a violin tutor in Darren School of Music, Chungha Kevibino. She will be presenting on the topic ecological concerns in the writings of the history of Korea. Before I give time to the speaker, I just want to give a brief notice that if you have any questions for the speaker on the presentation that she's going to be presenting now in a few minutes, please leave a message in the chat option which we will be addressing later on in the Q&A session. Now I give the time to our speaker. Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Ms. Ronson, for the wonderful introduction. Before I start off with the topic, of course I would like to thank Tetzel College and the Department of English for giving me this lot to share some of my ideas with everyone of you. And ecological concerns for me, it has been an area of interest for me and this presentation is an outline to study some of the select works of history through the length of the ecological system itself. And as a researcher and a reader, this is the one particular thing that I have observed in her writings itself when I went through some of her works. So I would be sharing some of these things that I have, that I think I found in her works. So I would present my screen and move forward with the presentation. So ecological, the topic that I would be talking on is ecological concerns in the works of history in Q&A. So the presentation today is an attempt, as I already mentioned, to redirect the mind of the readers of course towards the value of nature and take into account her writings as an awareness novel. So when we go through the novel, when we go through the presentation, I hope that we will all get a sense of the importance of nature in our life as well. So we will start with the topic. I will give a brief introduction about the theory of ecological decision itself in the first place. So ecopathicism, or it is also called ecopathicism or environmental criticism or green studies. So when it comes to this theory, a basic definition of ecopathicism was provided by an early anthology that is the Ecopathicism Reader published in 1996 that calls each the study of the relationship between literature and the environment. And we see that this movement began in the U.S.A. in the late 1970s and in the U.K. in the early 1990s. And as a concept, it first arose in the late 1970s at meetings of the WLA, which is the Western Literature Association. And Michael B. Branch addresses the word ecopathicism back to William Brooker's 1978 essay, Literature and Ecology, an experiment in ecopathicism. And further, we see that a claim for its first usage of the word ecological is met by the prominent U.S. ecopathic Carl Coburn from his article, Home and Brosner Ecological Holiness. And if we move forward, we see that how the term was first introduced, the term was introduced by William Brooker's and it was first used by Carl Coburn. We see that it was Cheryl LaFalse who emphasized or who revised the theory itself. And in this particular theory, it calls for a paradigm shift from the human century to the bio-century. So this theory came out as a response to the burning issue of global warming, which is definitely still very much prevalent in our present society. So that was a brief outline about the theory of ecopathicism. So then just to give you a brief idea of what ecopanism is, because this might be a new theory for many of us. Ecopanism is a port, a one-two term, which means it is the combination of the word ecology and feminism. And ecopanism is one of the significant ecological and feminist Muslims. It was, the term was 0.5, and this ecopanism, it feels that racism or classicism and sexism are interconnected and liberation of women cannot be fully achieved without the liberation of nature and vice versa. In other words, if we put it in other words, ecopanist, the ecopanist, it calls for an end to all operations, arguing that no attempt to liberate women for any other oppressed group will be successful without an equal attempt to liberate nature. So that is what we see when it comes to ecopanism. And then they are of the view that all living things have equal value and worth. So this is a brief introduction again of the ecopanist theory. Of course, I would be applying ecopanism for the words that we will be dealing with, but this is something that I wanted to share with you all. I wanted everyone of us to have a knowledge about. So I gave you a little bit of introduction about the theory itself as well as the book. We will now start with our first, we will, I will give you, so these are the novels that we will be dealing with when the river sniffs and the sky is my father. These three novels are the work that I will be dealing with. I will try to bring out the ecological concern that the writer has projected in these writings. So we will see the style of Kyrie, how Kyrie is serving Kyrie right. So when it comes to serving Kyrie, she is the one who is not known to anyone. She is a well-known writer, so I'm sure that everyone of us are well aware of this particular writer. So she is a poet and a novelist, and she can be regarded as one of the finest storytellers from the region itself. And we see that her writings revolve around the people and the environment of our hometown that is Nagaland. And her novels are, when we look into her novels, her novels are simple, lucid and written in language that can be understood by all kinds of readers. And it is a blend of myths, legends and folk tales, storytelling with the everyday life of the LHP for itself. And of course the backdrop of every of her novels is drawn from her. Nagar Ruth, and it tells a story with the hills and its rocks and trees as well. Then besides all these elements, we also see that she addresses the issue of women as well, which is why her novels are multi-layered. That means it consists of different elements and issues that she weaves in. Then multiple setting are in the rural areas depicting the beautiful landscape surrounding the human habitation. And such a writer she is that captures the attention of the readers and one finds himself part of that story. So that is a little bio about the writer who is doing curate and true writing definitely she depicts the social cultural life of the above people in general as well. We will start with the first novel, When the Rivers Leaves. So when the rivers live if we go through the novel, we see that this novel presents the protagonist Billier. So the protagonist here is Billier, the character Billier, who goes out in an adventurous journey to achieve the milestone. So with the start of the novel Billier, the character itself unites the statement saying the forest is my wife. So the reason why he comes up with that statement is because his aunt will keep on nagging him to get married. So by stating that following this following statement, the forest is my wife, Billier is trying to show that nature is sufficient for him. And he does not need anything because nature provided him with all the things that is necessary for him or that is essential for him to go about leaving his wife, which is why he does not need the field to settle down. So he comes up with the statement, the forest is my wife. Then the novel also presents how people new natural remedies for all kinds of illness and injuries. There is an instance where after getting injured Billier, he searches for herbs and he finds a beautiful herb which will stop his bleeding and until today we do have I'm sure that we also know some of the natural remedies or some of the herbs that will definitely help us even though we are not, even though we might not have any kind of medicine within, near us we always have this natural resources around us which will help us in easing our pain. Then we see that as he was undertaking his journey he was advised by the old man to take certain herbs like sienna or bitter wormwood and tihertipa that is a soft-leaved lung with a rather unpleasant smell which was good for warding off evil spirits as well as for a number of things. Kyrie tries to present all these things, all these pictures or all these images in emphasizing the usefulness of nature itself to men. Then we also see how Kyrie presents the picture of the neto forest in order to show the dying art of barb breathing as well and how people can make a living or survive through nature. It depicts the richness of the richness of nature and the way it proves to be helpful to the people which is why we as humans we need to respect or we as individuals as well we need to respect nature so that both the world can coexist together. This is the particular thing that we find out from this particular novel as well which emphasizes on nature and how people have access to all these kinds of natural resources and how nature provides everything that is needed for a human to survive. Then the next is this is the soul text that I want to focus upon, some of the thunder cloud Some of the thunder cloud is here in this novel This novel is about it is about the character Pellebutzo who undertakes a journey to find the village of weavers and then we find that in this novel he is considered or he is regarded as the carrier of regeneration itself and the reason why he is regarded as the carrier of regeneration is because the moment he steps in the abandoned village Ren sets in which is why he is regarded as the carrier of regeneration that if we move further we see that Kyrie presents how the earth gives birth as well and she beautifully states this through her character Messagno says it's called birthing the earth has birth trees rose and grain just as a mother births her offspring so we see how she depicts nature provides man with everything and then this novel in a way also depicts or brings forth a picture of what will happen to our land if we do not take proper measures or step to protect the natural resources then the novel unfolds with a great family that hid Pellebutzo village and it presents a picture of how everyone died of hunger here it is coated in a few days the supplies of food went out in every household and Pellebutzo parents died within ours of each other and so this reminds us with this following statement we can say that it reminds us that we are as humans we are very much dependent on nature itself and without nature it is impossible for us to survive on this earth moving further it also presents a Kyrie also projects the environmental awareness through this particular work and we can say that Kyrie's works are filled with natural elements and then she has a strong sense or she has a strong concern for nature around her which is why she depicts or she projects this issue in her writings then I quote from the text again where here the earth was so bright that the soil no longer looked like soil it had cracked apart the brown color had bone from the soil and if the traveler were to describe it he would call it grey then grey so through this picture she presents how proper measures need to be taken or we need to preserve our natural resources or our nature itself so that we do not we are not faced with the consequence that is projected through the novel where the earth no longer looked where the earth or the soil no longer looked like soil itself so if she gives us this awareness or this warning that if we do not protect our natural resources while we still have that then we would also face the same consequence one or the other day then with that image with the consequence she also brings forth how the nature would provide us with everything how nature would be in abundance if we take proper care or if we take proper measure in order or protect them from the cold the trees and rocks are the sons of the earth take care of them and they would take care of you and your children so this particular statement again brings presents us the picture that if proper measures are taken to preserve nature or to protect nature then nature will provide us in abundance and then it will not only it will not only be sufficient for us as well but it will be sufficient for the future generation as well which is why since we are in a society we are in a time where natural depletion is of course coming up as a burning issue for everyone this is a perfect novel which would definitely help shake the mind of the readers as well as the researchers who take up this work to start considering to take proper measures or to start considering to preserve or protect our natural resources without disrespecting them or without over exploiting them and it also gives us the idea that of course it is never too late to start over though we might be using the natural resources in a very have a certain manner we might not be using it judiciously after going through these works by writers when we come across works done by these writers we of course there is a sense there is a sense that arises in us that yes it is time that we start respecting nature and then we start preserving each if we want to survive or if we want to have a look for the future generation as well so these are some works that shapes our mind or shapes our perspective towards the kind of behavior that we have been that we have been practicing so far when it comes to using the natural resources itself and then she also presents the picture of the abundance of nature itself and then here we see the earth was green where Masanio is another character from the novel where Masanio narrates the story of her village before the famine hit them to Telem and she states the earth was green and fertile there was food everywhere no one killed the forest no one killed the fields because there was no need to so this is the picture that she presents further she also asks harvest us, eat us and grow up again so the writer projects how we as humans harm nature or we have exploited nature or we are exploiting nature in all possibilities but nature always has a tendency to offer the best to us or to apply us to keep giving us the best that it has to be so we see that each of us is responsible to protect the natural resources we cannot rely on one person or the other I cannot rely on you you cannot rely on me to start protecting the natural resources it is us it is within us the individual that we have to start practicing all these practices when we come across such works and if it in a way leaves an impact on us then we definitely need to start practicing all these and lead in examples so that we do not want that the writer has presented or the writer has projected in the earlier statement as well how the soil no longer look like soil earlier it was the earth was green and fertile but then when the famine hit them it was no longer it no longer look like soil so it gives us the idea or the picture that man really has exploited nature and if we still on doing that the time is not not that we will face the same consequence that we can see in the novel so that is about the novel and then we also see how when it comes to nature presenting us with all the natural resources we also see how Hali and Siete will always go out other characters would always go out in the morning together mushrooms, herbs and berries which will eventually feed them so I am sure that this is something that we hardly notice or we hardly observe of course no one or none of us will definitely go out now this time to do that but then we see how nature has been nature was in abundance earlier and people would go out in search of these wild foods or herbs or berries in order to feed them so through this as well she presents the picture definitely that it is time that we start caring for the resources that we are using then she also presents Pele as someone who is very much a responsible being and then definitely by projecting Pele as being a responsible being everyone of us especially the readers since we are reading through her work she definitely wants the readers to be responsible like the character Pele who would definitely think for the future and not think only of himself or herself and being selfish so we see I call for the test not to cut so we see that Pele was about to build a house he needed he needed woods in order to build that very house but he was very careful he was very careful not to cut too many trees in the same area he did not wish to disturb the fragile ecology then the vegetation was new and young and he feared that the sudden disturbance of that newly found balance would cause further damage that could be repaired so we see how Pele was someone who really thought about nature itself who really thought about the ecology itself that he was very careful that he did not cut the trees from the same area if it was we if it was you and I for example that we would definitely go and cut in the same area if it was a shorter it was much shorter we would definitely not waste our energy going to find for another area if the root is long definitely we will go and cut in a short road as well even if we have cut it for many a times if there were hardly any one two trees that is left we would definitely go and cut there but then we see that Pele was not someone who did that even if he wanted to go around in the in the middle of the forest or in a very long road to cut the tree he did that because he was very careful it was helpful that it would disturb the ecology if he kept on cutting the trees in the same area over and over again so we see how he represents this particular character Pele as someone who is very much thoughtful of the future generation as well he did not only think of himself but then he thought of the future and then he thought that if he would do that if he would repeat that over and over again then definitely he would disturb the ecological balance and if he disturbs the ecological balance and that is something that would take years to come up with again that would take years to repair and we can see the consequence that is the result or the impact that is that we are feeling in the world today because of global warming we see the kind of the weather changes that are taking place so this is something that Kyrie definitely as a writer tries, she tries to rise up in her writings and she also further states even the men would have to be very careful and remember to respect nature so she hopes that through her writing she hopes that everyone would respect nature the way we respect our elders or the way we respect someone who is higher to us in position or the way we respect our parents, our siblings, our elders so we need to give that equal respect not just because we cut a tree and then the tree does not fight back or the tree does not hit us back, does not mean that we can keep on cutting the trees for our own selfishness we have to respect them if we cut a tree then definitely we would also have to make sure that we have a replacement for that we do, we have an alternative for that again so in this way if we keep on doing if we start practicing that then definitely we would not have to face the consequence that the writer has projected, has given a visual projection in his in her novel so we see that she is someone who wants to send off the idea to everyone that it is us, it is you and I, it is the individual that is responsible of respecting the nature and giving back to nature what nature is in fact giving to us or providing us so that was about the novel where we found the kind of issue that the writer has raised when it comes to protecting the natural resources and how she also gives us the visual presentation of the consequence that will come to us as well as how we will enjoy nature in abundance if we are someone who starts practicing to preserve or to care for our natural resources that we use for everyday survival then the next is Sky is my Father and I have a natural memory so here in this novel as well we see that Kyrie the human lives with that of the nature and the environment itself and definitely here she presents a particular village she focuses on a particular village that is Konoma which is definitely not something which you does not have any idea I'm sure that everyone of you have an idea about this particular village Konoma it is a tourist place of course many people come and visit because of the way the people have protected nature the people have preserved nature till today so we see a lot of tourists coming in to visit this particular village as well and we see that this novel starts with the description of Konoma village and how it is covered with nature she says that the people living in the village had a deep connection with the land nature and they took a ride in fighting and dwelling for it and when we see the intro when we went the novel we see that Kobi's house was always the first to be bused by the rising sun and to be watched by the dying right as it sank in the evening so this was something that really made Kobi the particular character happy and then because he was someone he knew and understand we knew and understood the importance of nature itself so this was something that he would always enjoy in the first day when his day would start then we also see that Kire presents the women characters who worked tirelessly as well in the field in spite of the heat and even in such a state if the rain comes along it takes away all the awareness where Vivieno says one of the characters she says but a little rain refreshes you and keeps you full enough to work on so we see how the characters appreciate nature for the comfort that they provide to them so if we were in their place definitely I don't think we would be seeing that we would be coming up with this if it rains then we would start complaining that it was such a hot day it was a scorching heat that was coming and then suddenly this rain came in and then now it cannot work so probably that would be the first thing that would come into our mind we would definitely not appreciate when a rain starts coming in but then when we look at this character that we see that there are a set of people who appreciate nature who appreciates the comfort that or will appreciate the joy that they bring in though they might be tired of because of the work that they have that they have been doing then Vivieno again comes up with the statement the sun and the rain are the creators blessings the rain and shine in turns for us to make our fields and get our purpose war is part of a village life but if we have grain we can withstand war if we do not have grain a few days of war will overcome us so we see that when we look at Kyrie's work we see that Kyrie tries to represent characters who are very much understanding although very much appreciates nature because they know that they know the value of nature they know the worth of the natural resources that they get in and here as well we see that Vivieno she states that the sun and the rain are the creators blessing and that it is God who sense in the rain it is God who sense in the the sun in order so that we humans can harvest our fields we can get whatever is needed for our survival so through this we also get an idea of how the writer is doing Kyrie is trying to warn the readers to start thinking over and to start practicing if we were not practicing to start practicing nature's nature or to spread this very idea that it is never too late to start over or it is never too late to start respecting the nature or the natural resources itself that was about the words that through which we can see that Kyrie has presented an ecological concern in her writing and she is the one who is very much concerned with the issue that is rising up day by day then we also have other writers like Tensla Aoud and Anita Desai then Mama Ndai then Sarah Joseph or Anita Nair we have a list of writers who also shares the same concept and they try to portray the same issue when it comes to the ecological concern and in Tensla Aoud's Lebanon from My Head that is a short story collection and in the story collection I built Lebanon from My Head we see how Lentina that is the character was obsessed she had an obsession and then as an individual Lentina thought differently than the society and in a time when everyone preferred Granite for Tombstone she was the one who longed for a Lebanon tree above her tombstone with the inscription of her name with the expensive stones so we see that she was the one we can observe that she knew the value of nature because all the artificial granites we know that would fade away one day unlike the natural tree which would keep blooming all throughout the year so she had this particular character had this obsession to have a Lebanon tree above her tombstone so we see how writers have come up with their works in order to portray or to project the issue of the burning issue of ecology itself so we can say that coming to the concluding part we can say that ecological concern has definitely been one of the major issues that very writers attempted to portray in their writings in order to spread the awareness on the present environmental condition and when we see that landscape in a piece of literature does not only convey the meaning of the natural beauty but also the way men portray nature and how it functions so when we see any kind of natural images in the in a particular work in a piece of writing that does not mean that it is only used for the sake of beauty or it is only used as a decorative fit it conveys much deeper meaning when we see natural images being used by writers we see that there is a reason behind why we should know that there is a reason behind why writers are making use of such images in your writings and we see that it is true these kinds of works that we as writers are enlightened with what has to be done for the future world so that the next generation definitely do not follow the same factor so in other words this works it definitely serves as the medicine for the illness that has affected almost all the people so it gives us this sense after going through all this work after trying to relate it to the to the to the concept of ecology to the issue of ecology itself we have we come to know that it is definitely time that we start thinking over our actions that we have been doing so far if we do not if we are someone who do not practice all those things that are listed in this works that we definitely want to be like Pele who thought of the future as well and we should not be someone we should not be individuals who should be selfish and think only about us you all know better than me what we have to do in order to contribute even the least that we can does not mean that we have to start up a campaign tomorrow about the issue of this ecology does not mean that we do not need to protest against the government tomorrow we do not need to hold any great steps it is only if we can start from the small steps onwards and then the small steps are something that of course we all know what we need to do so we can start from our own itself so through this topic I just wanted to give you an idea I just wanted to share my observation of what I have got from reading the various novels of this particular writer and I thought that this was something that was very that can be very much related to the present time and then this is something that we are all suffering we are all suffering the consequence now so which is the reason why I shared with you all and that it is never too late to start over something we all say that there is no age to learn something new so it is never too late to start something over so I hope that this has been helpful for everyone of us to start thinking about the natural resources that we have or the natural resources that have been given to us for survival so that will be that is it about today's talk I will end my talk here so thank you everyone for listening patiently to the talk that was very interesting and insightful talk that has addressed many concerns which is very much needed and relevant in our present modern contemporary society thank you so much for reminding us once again that nature is a very important factor which we really need to preserve we really need to start working on that and how the authors different authors especially with relating to concern to steering career how she has presented her concerns through her writing we will have a Q&A session if anyone has any questions you can always unmute yourself and ask or you can leave in the chat option below before I address the questions I just have one question which I really want to answer for me as you are talking about some of the thunder clouds I just want to ask how does the author present eco-feminism in the sound of the thunder clouds how does the author relate eco-feminism with the novel can you please enlighten me on that okay thank you very much Miss Fong Sen for a question that is a very interesting question so yes eco-feminism as I already given you a brief outline of what eco-feminism is about when it comes to this particular novel some of the context of we see that in this particular novel the women character the woman character especially in the sound of the clouds she was someone who was who was to fulfill a prophecy and then we see that before she fulfilled the prophecy the villagers never considered her to be a part of the village the villagers did not really look into her the villagers did not try to gather any information whether she was alive or not or whether how she is living because she is a widow but then after the prophecy was fulfilled we see that there is a change in their heart the village headman she comes to her to this particular character and request her to stay back and then share her blessings with the entire village so this is something that we see how there are operation or there are inequalities that are being made of two women so with this operation with this kind of inequality with women we see that Kyrie tries to combine this operation with that of nature so when it comes to eco-communism we see that it is because of the traditional values of this reciprocity or the traditional values of nurture or burden itself that women and nature are always connected together so we see in this particular statement where Masayu herself says God it's called burden the earth has birds, trees, rocks, stones and grain just as a mother birds her offspring so this is how she tries to bring in the concept of eco-communism as well in her particular work Son of the Panther Club by portraying the different kinds of inequalities or the different kinds of things that have been made out to women and how women are exploited as well as the similar how men have been exploiting nature to the fullest without preserving it so this is how she brings in the concept of eco-communism in Son of the Panther Club okay thank you so much for answering this question if there is anyone who wants to ask anything Hi Ms. Kevin Bendo I think it's a really amazing presentation rooted in research the spirit of research is really well because I can see that you have referenced to so many quotes in the novel and that's a really powerful presentation so you should be proud of yourself one question which I had for you and let me see if I can phrase this in a way that will be simple enough for everyone to understand alright so what I want to ask is this these novels that you have spoken about by Easter in Kyrie and all the other writers from Nagaland they are set in the past they are set in the old Nagaland when we don't have the presence of churches Christianity and that's where nature has been portrayed so strongly however I have not seen Easter in Kyrie or other writers write stories that are set in the contemporary society the Nagar society that we have right now has changed drastically it is no longer what it was like in the olden days so in the present context do you think the Nagar culture has undergone a paradigm shift where our connection with with this nature is no longer as strong as it was before or do you think it's still the same it's just that no one is writing about it what are your views about this thank you sir for the question and for encouraging me yes I think that of course these works have been written earlier and we see that earlier we see people were very much connected to nature itself but then when we see the present era then definitely there are some changes that have gone through we can see maybe it is also because of the arrival of modernity itself that people no longer are able to connect with nature itself that we are very much busy with all the new inventions that has taken place so earlier if we compare it earlier definitely there was nothing of which maybe they would they would do in order to pass their time and it was only nature that they were able to connect with they were able to find comfort in nature but then now we have so many alternatives we have so many other styles that we are engaged in those we definitely do not find ourselves in connection with nature anymore there are definitely there would definitely be some writers who would definitely come up with these kind of issues in their works as well if yes in their writings as well but I think that after it is also because of these writings that we have read that maybe the readers have understood the consequence of what will happen if we do not start practicing what we need to which is why we see a lesser a lesser of it this in this present era I think so yes alright thank you so much and sorry before I had it back to the host just wanted to quickly thank all the ENG 303 students the third semester English Honours students who have joined in I do hope they are there I can see some students and I am hoping that they are from the third semester Honours Splash because whatever has been discussed here is essentially very healthy it's going to be very helpful for your Unit 1 of your Honours paper okay thank you so much Miss Kevib and you have done an amazing job alright back to the host alright thank you so much for the answers if there are any more questions please leave in the chat option and I will ask for you or if you want to unmute yourself you can always do that okay I have a question from Miss Kevib while Kirei is trying to present the importance of nature in her writings are there any situation where she have come up with the dichotomy of public and private property or land owning system in Naga Society that is the question we failed to respect and protect the natural resources because a major part of nature belongs to public property what is your take in it so the question is I am going to repeat it again while Kirei is trying to present the importance of nature in her writings are there any situations where she had come up with the dichotomy of public and private property or land owning system in Naga Society we failed to respect and protect the natural resources because a major part of nature belongs to public property what is your take in it thank you very much for the question well yes regarding your question when you come to the public and the private property yes that is something that I definitely have not come up with my things as well so I would agree with you that maybe because the reason that we do not have our that we are not able to do our part because a major portion of the land belongs to the to the public or a major portion of the land belongs to the private that we are not able to do our part which is why since the land the land is of course divided among the various people that we are not able to do our part on protecting the resources that we need to because we do not have that talking us that it is our individual duty to be the first or to be someone to go and protect or to try to care for the resources itself so I think yes it is because of that particular reason that today we see a lot of these issues as well where we are running out of the natural resources itself I hope that has answered the question thank you so much if there is no one if there are no more questions then we can wrap up this webinar thank you so much Miss Kaby for enlightening us with very much needed talking yes Miss Rosie I'm so sorry to interrupt but I just thought maybe I can just pose a very general question like I'm just thinking about this question so maybe I thought Kaby Miss Kaby can give me a very good answer on this my question for Kaby is as I was just going through your slides and as I was listening to you about ecofeminism which you have enlightened us already with a very clear concept about it where we see that it is a study of feminism that sees environmentalism as well and how we see the relationship between women and the earth and how even the ecofamilies thinkers draw the concept of gender to analyze the relationship between humans and the natural world so this concept it is a very clear concept to me but here I just wanted to raise this upon this question to Miss Kaby what according to you how do you feel the relationship the relationship between ecofeminism and the environmental ethics how do you differentiate between these two ecofeminism and environmental ethics thank you thank you very much Miss Rosé for your question the difference between environmental ethics and ecofeminism when it comes to the environmental ethics definitely what they do is they are more towards they are in a way ecocentric they would definitely focus much of their focus on the ecology itself on the nature itself but when it comes to ecofeminism they try to what the ecofeminists do is they try to relate the problem that women are suffering or they try to relate women with nature itself and to try to come up with to come up with the image or to come up with a picture that just like women have been subjugated or oppressed by their male counterpart similarly we see how nature has been exploited by men itself for its selfish or for its greedy need we see that whenever if we buy a land or if we buy a land if we want to set up a commercial site definitely we start cutting down all the trees or all the natural resources that are there without even considering what in fact it will have just because we want to earn in the monetary effect coming up with an alternative we are coming up with another alternative that might help us reduce the consequence they do, they start cutting all the trees and they start exploiting the resources itself so this is how the ecofeminists try to present the connection between women and nature and the ecofeminists definitely address the issue of both nature and women that they are going to while the environmental they are more towards the they are more ecocentric where they portray more where they do not definitely consider the different kinds of operation or the different kinds of exploitation that women are going to they only portray what nature has gone to and what we are doing to the natural resources so I think that is about the difference thank you so much for clarifying the relation between ecofeminism and the steering curious writing and the questions of it.
