Abstract
The term sustainable development stands for a new age in human cultural development, following the industrial and post-industrial eras. Emblematic of such development is “sustainability,” a sociocultural movement toward a new lifestyle paradigm that is based on three fundamental principles: respect for natural systems, the promise of a humane living base for all humans, and the development of a circular flow economy to support material life. Thus, Sustainability is not a new discipline or academic field of study. Rather, it is a future-oriented principle, one that involves all human actors in any field of activity at any place on our earth.
