When comparing the similarities and differences between virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontology we find that they all deal with how one judge’s morality and ethics. These theories all include judging in different aspects, whether it is in the moment, what happens after, or over a lifetime. The ethics and morality behind these theories all deal with what is right, or what is best for the present, then separate paths as the theories work toward the future. With virtue ethics a person strives for excellence performing duties, and acquiring traits that others would admire. With utilitarianism a person makes a decision based on the best results, and what is best for the most amounts of people. With deontology a person makes a decision depending on what he or she thinks is morally correct, not necessarily based on the best results for the people, but more for the wellbeing of that person.…
Fears, Nikki. “Air Pollution in the U.S - Is It Getting Better or Worse?” Bright Hub. Bright Hub Inc., 19 Nov. 2010. Web. 29 Nov. 2012. Identifying and listing certain cities in the US, this article discusses whether or not air pollution has gotten better after a 2009 survey that ranked the US as the “largest producer of air pollution” according to hospital admissions for respiratory diseases caused by polluted air. In the short term category, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania was number one on the chart in the top ten cities with the highest level of particle pollution exposure. Four other California cities followed. In the long-term category, however, Pittsburg placed second while Bakersfield, California placed first—also followed by four other California cities. Similarly, in the top ten cities with the highest level of ozone pollution, Los Angeles, California placed first, followed by five more California cities. Concluding, it is stated that the US has indeed improved, but certain regions seem to be struggling with controlling such control—especially California (“Solutions of Air Pollution”).…

So what exactly causes this major environmental issue and what can we do about it? Let's take a closer look!…
