Productivity: Within the paradigm of Modernity this paradigm stresses the ever- growing growth of artefacts and nature transformation so that the progress of Humanity does not stop. The key issue is how to achieve good levels of productivity. According to periods or nations, this productivity is attained regardless of the amount of damage towards the Nature. Alternatively it could be achieved by diminishing the destroying effects of certain types of energies.

Harmony: This paradigm is mainly conveyed the more radical ecological groups so that get back to the lost balance between the human being and nature within the industrial modernity. Thus these people emphasize the use of clean energies as the main point of their proposal. Also they strongly oppose to polluting energies. The pressure of the productivity paradigm together with the lack of the three-dimensional meaning of the traditional paradigm leads this ecological tendency to go once and again to the sustainable growth paradigm.
