What are the human exceptionalist paradigm (HEP) and the new environmental paradigm (NEP)?

What will be an ideal response?


NEP says that humans are a part of nature and need to maintain a
sense of balance and live within limits in an interconnected world. This is also
known as the alternative environmental paradigm or the ecological social
paradigm. The HEP paradigm is a way of viewing the environmental as separate
from humans—humans are 'exceptionalist'.
