ABSTRACT
In (‘Land Use’ [20] 1975 p.7) Kenneth Davis vents his opinion, ‘The JudeoChristian tradition in the Western world gave rise to the concept that people were created separately, after other living things, and were not a part of nature. People were admonished to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.” The idea that the earth and all upon it were for use and exploitation by the people has become deeply established. Authority has been established by conquest,
by might, and in Judeo-Christian areas, God has frequently been invoked as the superior authority. However, the source of authority has shifted from “God” to the state or “society”.’
