Answer to Question 1

Religion can be used as a tool to teach the masses that social inequalities of the larger society and existing social arrangements represent what God desires. Examples of this include the divine right of kings during the Middle Age monarchies and in Hinduism which has existed for over 3,000 years. The essential quality of belief supporting the monarchy or caste system is not subject to challenge, either by evidence or by logic. No argument or evidence can prove that a belief is wrong. To challenge the belief would constitute treason and blasphemy, both of which are usually not only capital offenses, but capital offenses that often called for death.

Answer to Question 2

A sustainable environment is a world system in which we use our physical environment to meet our needs without destroying humanity's future. A sustainable environment can be achieved through the wise use of resources that includes laws to protect the environment.
