            In today's post-modern society, there are many strong guiding forces influencing every single aspect of a person's socialization and development as an individual. The impact of globalization, for instance, is a latent product of our drive for efficiency and productivity, as an entire civilization. For example, a single chip can replace an entire assembly line of workers. It's main goal to remove the need for human proletarian work, seemingly aiding the manufacturing process and easing the work needed to be done, as well as obviously saving money for a huge corporation, let's assume. Although simultaneously a single chip becomes the cause for a loss of an entire work force. The metaphor associated with the story of Prometheus and the fire, can explain this type of situation. Before Prometheus, mankind lived without fire, because Zeus, the king of the gods, said that man would misuse its abilities. Prometheus, who saw man living and darkness and ignorance decided it was important to go behind Zeus" back to introduce man to fire and all its innovative functions. After its introduction to humankind, man grew and development knowledge and reason and grew a mass civilization, meanwhile as well wars broke out and men used fire to kill themselves and mother nature as well. Zeus sentenced Prometheus to an eternity chained to a rock and forced to climb a hill, and as he makes his way to the middle of the hill he would tumble down the hill. Why such a harsh punishment, for liberating man out of his dark ignorant hole and enabling him to develop civilization itself, well Zeus quotes "For every gift, there is a consequence." This put in contrast to Williard Gaylin's postulation will be the main topic to be discussed over the course of this essay. Gaylin proposed that "not only [does he] think we will tamper with Mother Nature [itself], [but that ] Mother Nature wants us to." Firstly a glance at man's innate ability or need to change is surroundings will be considered.
