INTD-105-Scientific Writing
Donna Haraway makes it clear in her essay, “The Cyborg Manifesto”, that we are transitioning from an organic, industrial society to a networked, artificial society ruled by technology. She believes this new reality will be detrimental because it is a movement that is a result of patriarchal dominance and the capitalist system. The “Cyborg” that will result from this societal change will blur the distinction between humans and nature and will cause the end of innocence, privacy, and natural purity that characterize feminism. Also the fundamental human interactions needed to promote the feminist ideals will cease to exist.
I find that her views on the subject do not match with my own and that her ideas are largely speculation as of now. Through my analysis on The Greek Tree, I found that humans and nature could thrive even when the boundary between the two dissolves.
