How did animism affect people's views about nature?

The religious belief that places, objects, and creatures have a spiritual essence is called Animism. In animism, all things including human handiwork, plants, rocks, and animals are considered to be animated and alive. It is also used in the anthropology of religion. In animism, there is a belief that material phenomenon have organization and there is no distinction between the physical and spiritual world and also that all living being including animals, plants, rocks have spirit. It believes in the existence of good and bad souls, incarnations and spells are used to ward off evil spirits and also for inviting the company of good ones. Animists also believe in reincarnations. Ancient Greek religions were also animistic.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
