the HERALD Environment Wednesday January Time to plan ahead for future generations By BARBARA HALSALL Herald Special TIME CONTROL PILLS The label on the container from the A reads Time Control Pills prescribed by Hughs Dup and Dr Flies The jelly beans in the container with this label are an attempt to see the funny side of our obsession with time Our attempts to make manage find and control time come from our value system that values time above many things This is the second article on ex amining our values to see whether we can learn from other societies The following with permission is a portion of a long article from the JanuaryFebruary issue of magazine The article by Henry Lickers a native grandfather tries to answer the question of his young granddaughter Grandfather what makes us different Time is very important to the Western society In order to dominate there must be a plan with a timetable which can not be violated A frantic individual ef fort must be made to stay on schedule since a person lives for such a short time Planning is seen as a short term activity less than genera tion Any characteristic which helps to maintain the schedule is considered beneficial Understanding and sensitivity are sacrificed for control and logic The First Nations with an tarthcentred view see place as most important therefore mountains lands lakes and streams become sacred The ef fort of an individual is not tied to the schedule but to a place Sacred areas therefore must be preserved at all cost Planning is then seen as a long term activity with a time period of many generations Characteristics which help to maintain place are beneficial Time is sacrificed for understan ding sensitivity and consensus A place is better protected preserved and enhanced when everyone knows why Western societies place great emphasis on material growth with a monetary system which in dicates success Economic growth is seen as necessary for the community to survive even at the expense of the environ ment family or individual The man with the most toys wins seems to be the ideal of the Western society Little importance is placed on human relationships because it doesnt add to the gross product The very Earth becomes threatened in order to feed the consumption of the society for OSBORNE DECOR Vertrd And Bedspreads HOME SERVICE yii NORTHEND NISSAN SALES SERVICE LEASING

society will not survive unless there is a new way of thinking Our strange obsession with time has spawned the personality with the consequence of a high rate of heart disease As our society fights to control time and control the natural environ ment the further we move from being in tunc with the planet We must examine where we are go- 1 in such a rush people can change and so I believe that society as an aggregate of those people can also change but first we must realize that our world view is leading to problems For information on how to ob tain magazine contact their head office in at
