Two main paradigms in Canada are the technological paradigm and the ecological paradigm. Most Canadians accept one of these paradigms. Fundamental values of the ecological paradigm Science and technology should be used to control the environment. Economic productivity is the key to a high standard of living. Peace and security are made possible through military power.

We should live in harmony with the environment. Our long term standard of living can only be maintained by conservation. Peace and security can be maintained through international cooperation. Humane values are the basis of progress in society. Every paradigm has limitations or things it cannot do.
