Scientific Development and Environmental Pollution

அறிவியல் வளர்ச்சியும் சுற்றுச்சூழல் மாசுப்பாடும்

Abstract

The main reason for humans achieving various civilizational developments today is the science they have discovered. Literature records that in times when there was no scientific development, humans lived relying on and revering nature. The worship practices of humans who lived during the Sangam period indicate that they worshipped nature. Sangam literature mentions that Sangam period humans lived naturally with nature, organizing their morals, occupations, and food habits based on the land divisions of Kurinji, Mullai, Marudham, Neidhal, and Palai. But today, due to scientific development, humans have created various conveniences and are enjoying them. For this purpose, they are polluting the nature around them and causing the destruction of living beings. As a result, the environment has become polluted and a situation has arisen where various troubles must be faced. This article examines this through the novel "Third World War."
