The socio-cultural reality governed by the capitalist dimension has brought us ethical-based questions. Nature in the view of capitalism is purely a mechanism for producing wealth. This belief has alienated us from nature and other human beings, generating an absurdly unjust distribution of natural resources and giving rise to economic and political disorder, a growing wave of violence (spontaneous and institutionalized), and an ugly and polluted environment, in which life often becomes physically and mentally unhealthy (CAPRA, 1999, p. 25-26). With this speech, Capra wants to expose the paradigm of the technological world with the environment. This relationship still needs a deeper reflection that offers a synthesis between science and nature. Therefore, it would be correct to state that:


A. The use of nature exercised by big capital becomes legitimate because it is a great job generator.
B. Nature has the purpose of serving man and his historical advancement.
C. Taking nature only as a mechanism for producing wealth is a correct view.
D. It is ethical to appropriate nature for the benefit of capitalist growth.
E. It is ethical to dominate nature in order to appropriate its resources for the benefit of capitalist growth.
