Can there be prosperity without growth?

It includes not only capital or the environmental sustainability but also constitutes social and economic capital as well.

    In chapter 11 of Unfair “What We Must Overcome” our author tackles on three serious challenges we face in realizing science-based reforms. First, he addresses the approach our justice system has towards juror screenings and exactly how we are getting it wrong. Benforado suggest that these juror screening are intended to eliminate those people who cannot be fair if selected to be a jury in a criminal case. While we purpose to address this bias, our author suggest that we are instead,” reinforcing a false narrative oh what bias is, where it comes from and how it can be remedied. “(P.g. 240) Consequently, Benforado offers us an experience of his own with the juror selection process, which he and other jurors filled out a questionnaire. Moreover, if you indicated that you are more likely to the believe the testimony of a police officer, over the testimony of a normal person all you received was speech on why it was wrong. The judge would explain to you that” your job as a juror required you to treat every witness the same regardless of his or her position, race, gender or the like. (P.g.240) After…

    If we were involved in the Ford Pinto dilemma we would have used Deontological Ethical reasoning to decide whether or not to disclose the danger that the Pinto posed and/or use that reasoning to determine whether or not to install the part(s) that would make the Ford Pinto safer. Our decision would be to do what is morally right and avoid doing what is morally wrong, regardless of the consequences. True enough Ford was not obligated by government regulation or any law, to disclose the potential hazards of the Ford Pinto however; at the least they should have presented the option of purchasing the part to make the care safer - an option we would have made available to the customer.…

We will say is morally wrong because Pinto do not meet the safety standard propose by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The safety standard of NHTSA is to reduce fires from traffic collisions. This standard required that all new cars produced by 1972 should be able to withstand a rear-end impact of 20 mph without fuel lost and 30 mph when 1973.

The causes are: Greed and rent seeking, scarcity of resources, misuse of power, wrong moral and ethical standards. The Effects are: Climate change, rising inequality in almost all parts of the world (GINI Index), consumerism, corruption, abuse of ecosystems, etc.. Civil societies, governments and some businesses are asking for change and the creation of a “balanced social justice”. In case of abuse of social justice by one of the three major “participants” of the system (business, governments, NGOs), a vicious circle will occur and the organism is doomed to fail.…
