Business as Usual: The Dominant Narrative
Business as usual is the story of industrial growth society centered on economic growth, consumption, and convenience, defining life by endless material choices. Despite its comforts, this narrative perpetuates societal harm, normalizing exploitation, poverty, and violence. The emphasis on consumerism leads to a constant pursuit of goods, relegating other sources of meaning and power to the background. Disasters are seen as temporary disruptions, reinforcing the belief in a return to 'normalcy,' despite escalating ecological and social crises.
