How much did social attitudes change in the years 1955-75? Between the years 1955-75 there were many changes regarding the law that seemed like it would have a positive change however did not make much of an impact on the social attitudes towards the issue. The main ones in my opinion are abortion, immigration, death penalty and homosexuality. The main change in the 60s in my opinion was the legalisation of abortion in 1967. In the view of the government this would have a good impact on society because it reduced the amount of children being put up for adoption, less people would go through back street abortion which was a very dangerous procedure and the government also believed it would reduce the amount of poverty.

According to Cronon, wilderness is a human creation and therefore the wilderness ethics is not relevant to western problematic relationship with the nonhuman world since it favors only dramatic and sublime landscapes that are untouched by human presence. It does not consider the human interaction with the land and completely disregards the native inhabitants of the supposedly pristine environments: “The removal of Indians to create ‘uninhabited wilderness’ – uninhabited as never before in the human history of the place – reminds us just how constructed, the American wilderness really is” (Cronon 95). The idea of wilderness as it is defined in terms of Euro-American tradition and as such, it reproduces the nature – culture
Throughout Gilgamesh, the gods actually utilize an earth shattering power, but also at other times, their power is merely visualized as a force of nature. A large portion of the symbolism of the god’s power is found in the forest guardian Humbaba. Initially, one would not think of Humbaba as a portion of nature, but he was placed in the Cedar Forest, which “is sacred to Enlil”[1], by Enlil to protect it. This relationship with the forest makes him just as much a part of the forest as the trees. While on his journey to the Cedar Forest, Gilgamesh has a series of dreams that are symbolic of his future conflict with the great Humbaba.
