Riane Eisler identified the difference between Domination Cultures, focused on overpowering, dominating and consuming the world and other people, and Partnership Cultures, which understand that cooperation and care are far more important than competition and gain. Indigenous cultures around the world have always understood that they were part of nature, whereas Westerners viewed themselves apart from nature. The natural world was an inanimate resource to be dominated and used.
We are at a breaking point for the planet. Runaway climate change could destroy much of our built human civilization. We need to return to harmony and sanity, and end the domination system that ranks one over others, and consumes every possible resource for personal gain. We must return to a peaceful, egalitarian, and sustainable partnership system that supports the growth and development of all people, and all beings on the planet, both human and non-human.
