The Incentivization of Freedom and Its Future

Nature can be rarely tamed. Its sheer ferocity is unmatchable a result of which
are the ecological shifts that are termed as disasters by humankind. In the
pursuit to exercise control and to forecast the lack of it, man lost his way and
gave birth to what are now known as anthropogenic disasters. These were not
shifts to maintain the natural cycle but were deliberate attempts to change
them. In yielding nature to enjoy the fruits of victory over it, man has indeed
gone too far. Urbanization is one of the many unbridled disasters that befall
man. It is a resultant of a mass amnesia that starts from the individual to the
society and vice versa.
