Creatureliness in the Modern Day

In Wirzba's book, From Nature to Creation, he discusses creatureliness and how it shapes our interactions with other people. In the context of Wirzba's writing, he explains how the lack of creatureliness allowed Christian colonizers to dehumanize and other the Native Americans, as they did not think of them as other people, but rather as less than human. But what about in the modern day?

Currently, it seems hard to practice creatureliness in the way that Wirzba describes it. Other things are treated as resources, not as living beings, and this creates a disconnect between reality and the way we see the world. To start to move back toward creatureliness, people must learn to look at the world in a different way. One where they cannot abuse their "resources," as those resources are as living as another person, and that life has meaning outside of its use. A shift such as this would require a major society movement toward this sort of thinking, but would end with a society that is much more environmentally thoughtful and connected with their local ecology overall.
