Friends I have uploaded a paper which was to be presented at the conference 'Design for well being' -To Hell with Good Intentions- Lessons on sustainability and psychological well being from socio-culturally rich but techno-economically poor communities Abstract: Internal logic of technologically led consumerist society will function to bring everyone under its world view by using terminologies of democracy and choice in political realm and help and concern in social realm. Definitions of 'well being' and 'sustainability' would be redefined accordingly. Sustainability is the way of Nature. It can't be practiced as an afterthought. Sustainable system is one in which harmony of all aspects of production- man, material, method have a symbiotic relationship. In the act of engaging with the world man is awakened to the cyclic nature of life. This defines the process and the way material- re source-able, renew-able, re generate-able and recycle-able- is used. The linear, exponential 'growth' of modernity and sustainable, re-cyclic change in tradition are after all formed by respective cognitive conditions. An objective enquiry is called for to understand how the respective world views- one of alienation and other reintegration- are formed.
