Sustainable consumption involves: “The use of services and related products
which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while
minimising the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the
emissions of waste and pollutants over the life-cycle of the service or product
so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generations.” (Towards Sustainable Consumption :
An Economic Conceptual Framework, Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), Working Party on National Environmental Policy,
"Probably the best place
to be in this situation [economic collapse precipitated by peak oil and a
changing climate] would be on a subsistence farm in a village in Sub-Saharan
Africa or someplace that's not much effected by what happens in the rest of the
world. ” (Brown L., The Planet’s Scarcest

The role of the state, police, and military forces.
The
role of the state and local structures.
In
this period, Europe and the United States are discussing the purchase of new
American combat aircraft known as the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter), the unit
price of which can reach Euro 100.000.000. The manufacture of a JSF aircraft calls for a lot of specialisation.
Aircraft and other war machines enable us to take part in conflicts at a
distance, with serious consequences over vast territories. Despite the great
military advances of the past, including the domestication of horses, the
invention of stirrups, the English bow with a range greater than 200m, and in
the 16th century, the invention of firearms, battles were in the past local in
nature. Until modern times they were mostly fought person against person.

Research.
Make a two-page analysis of the consequences
of the following developments on the physical security of individuals and
communities :
a) The development of tribal
organisations comprising several hundred people
(
b) The development of centrally
administered social organisation (chosen or hereditary chiefs) comprising a few
thousand people (Mesopotamia, +/- 5.500
BC ;Central- and
c)
The development of «states » with several tens of thousands
of people (Mesopotamia, +/- 3.700 BC ; Central-America +/- 300-
B.C. ; South America, China, South-East Asia +/- 0 .A.D. ;
Africa +/-
d) The development of modern means of
destruction.
Take
the degree of specialisation of activities at each level into account, as well
as the need to solve conflicts within the groups and between the groups.
The tasks of an integrated
development project.
The
smallest societies are nomad groups, typically with 5 to 80 members. It is
thought that people lived in such groups until about 40.000 years ago. Most people were living in
nomadic groups 11.000 years ago. There
are still some nomadic groups in
2. Opinion.
On one page, make a list of the basic requirements for the survival of
nomad groups.
