Essay on Hussmann and Hussmann Argue

        Huesemann and Huesemann argue for a complex set of conditions needed to make technology environmentally responsible, identify a current “green” technology and see if it stands up to Huesemann’s critique.

Thesis Statement of  Hussmann and Hussmann Argue

        Michael Huesemann & Joyce Huesemann has set several conditions which should be implemented to make a technology sustainable or environmentally friendly. With the passage of time the technology is becoming advance day by day and providing the solution to a huge amount of people. Many individuals believe that the advancement in the technology is necessary and providing the solution for a lot of problems however individuals do not think that how the latest technology is impacting the environment in the long run.  The new technologies provide the solution to various problems however they unable to meet all the conditions set by Huesemann & Huesemann.

        In the article, the technological innovation is discussed in detail by the researchers Christian A. Cancino & Ariel I. La Paz, Arkalgud Ramaprasad and Thant Syn. In this research, the researchers have stated the importance of sustainability in technological development. In the study, the framework is presented through which technological innovation can become sustainable. The findings of the study show that there is a research gap that needs to be fulfilled by conducting future research studies. This study has huge scope however future research is required to identify how the technology can become more environment-friendly and will provide more benefit to society. Through this study, it is evident that the issue of sustainable growth of technology exists.

    The article directly relates to my research topic, therefore, using the information form this article in my research will be a great way to make my research more authentic. Main points and findings presented in the article can be directly summarized to draw conclusions and enhance literature review for the research. However, an article will also support me in explaining the complex set of conditions that are required to make technological innovations and current technology environmentally responsible. Through the use of theories and findings presented in this article recommendations regarding the promotion of green technology can be drawn.

    Huesemann, M. H. (2003). The limits of technological solutions to sustainable development. 5, 21-34.

        In this Article, Michael Huesemann discusses the issue of sustainable development and argued that the technologies do [provide a lot of benefits however their impact on the environment reduce their overall benefit. In the article, the Huesemann have discussed the limits that the latest technologies have. It is important for the organization to develop such technologies which not only provide the solution to the problems but also remain environment-friendly so that maximum benefit to the society

    In accordance with the research article, the technology most of the time develop a temporary island of order for the environment that usually results in the increase of great disorders in the environment and surroundings. basically, the whole review of the article concludes that if we want to have eco-efficiency in the environment then we need to have focused on the sustainability rather than the economic growth that is most of the time supported by the technology. However, in the article, it is illustrated that the technological factor is referred to the environmental impact and unit DGP. Article not only provide the technological solutions but also elaborate the concepts and ideas of Housemann towards the green environment and technology, therefore, article can be used in the thesis to elaborate the arguments of the Housemann and to determine whether the idea should be supported or not.

    The Huesemann has provided detail conditions through which the environment can be protected. Huesemann has set several conditions which should be implemented to make a technology sustainable or environmentally friendly. With the passage of time the technology is becoming advance day by day and providing the solution to a huge amount of people.

    Lieb in 2004 wrote his book on the topic of Environmental Kuznets curves to elaborate the major reasons that are contributing to the promotion of Environmental Kuznets. In the book, the writer explained the role of technology in the emission and pollution rising in the environment. Book also discusses the ways through which we can make the technology safe and environmental friendly. The book written by the Lieb relates to my thesis as in his book he also elaborated the ideas and beliefs of Housemann regarding the poor environmental condition. In accordance with the book, Huesemann claim that one of the major reason behind the poor environmental conditions in the world is lack of resources spent on environmental research.

    Houseman claim that local environmental policy reforms are causing to increase the chances of emission reductions as most of the time whole making such local environmental policy reformers ignore the possible intergenerational and international consequences. Thus the presented arguments and other relevant arguments available in the book about the Housemann and environment can be used in the thesis to make the thesis more accurate, authentic, and related the previous research and literature.

    The book was written in 2015 on the topic of responsible innovations. The book is a great contribution for my research topic as in this book Authors elaborated the technological innovation in detail with its impact on the environment. While other than this authors also discussed the views and arguments of the Housemann about the technological innovations. In accordance with the book, philosophers accept that technological innovations and excessive use of technology for economic growth are responsible for the rapid and continuous destruction in the environment, its resources (as fossil fuels), and impoverishment of the population all over the globe. In the book views of housemann are used to support the argument that technology is causing to increase in destruction in the environment. As in the book, it is presented that housemann elaborated in 2011 that economic systems currently being implemented in our society are mainly dependent on the growth for survival concept.

        As he presented the examples of the more of everything like more cheap labor, more raw material, and more new markets. In accordance with his point of view, such factors are the major reasons and the root cause of the problems raised in the environment for sustainability and green environment concepts. As in this book, detailed analysis and arguments are presented with examples that are related to my research topic (thesis topic) therefore review and use of this book in my research will support me in identifying and explaining the relation of the technological innovations and the impact of technological innovation on the environment.

Conclusion on Hussmann and Hussmann Argue

        If all the above discussion is summarized than it is evident that The Huesemann has provided detail conditions through which the environment can be protected. Huesemann has set several conditions which should be implemented to make a technology sustainable or environment friendly. With the passage of time the technology is becoming advance day by day and providing the solution to a huge amount of people.
