ABSTRACT

The environment is the seat of all human actions and responsibilities exercised or expressed as far as the human persons remain subjects of lived experiences and agents of development. From the historical valuation of human lived experiences, both peace and war had remained the products of human actions through human and societal quests for growth, advancement and development. Both the causes of the Culture of Peace and the Culture of War are done on the valuation of the environment. Through values, the human societies live in peace just as they live in war. This is the conviction of many industrialists and multinational corporations. With this conviction, when humanity suffers; the environment continues to be at the receiving end of the products of human actions and policies. Most times, such actions lead to environmental pollutions and degradation, away from the promotion the courses of human common good and development. Hence, this essay assesses the effects of the Culture of War on the environment through national and international supremacy and subjugating cultures of development as against the establishment of the Culture of Peace that the human society should long to achieve its sustainability in order to sustain the values of the environment and then projects the environment as our common home and heritage.
