Chapter5 (Ethics and the Environment)

Quotation: “As the earth in a short few decades becomes twice as crowded with human beings as it is now, and as human societies are confronted with dwindling resources in the midst of mounting accumulations of wastes, and steadily deteriorating environment, we can only foresee social paroxysms of an intensity greater than any we have so far known.”
Reaction:
This quote is about the environment that we are in today. It is said that in a number of years the world will be full of humans and that the resources will be less and also we will see that the environment will be near its end. If we won’t act now the future world will be a waste full of people living in it. Such companies are trying to make income but do not think of the things that he has done to the environment. There are those plants and factories that create waste that ruins our environment. There must be an action to take so that the environment will be saved. Companies can gain income and not harm the environment. They must think and act ethically for the future world to be saved.
Chapter summary: This chapter is about the proper way of thinking of the environment and being ethical when it come to environmental issues. The environment today is fast fading it is because of the people who do not think of what they are doing to the environment. Companies make living do not care what happens to the surroundings. The companies should act ethically so that they would think to themselves that what they are doing is unethical. The companies must take into consideration the environment and the products that they are creating doesn’t leave any waste behind it must be 0% waste. If people will not act soon then there will be no more environment to have.

Every house in Coalwood was occupied with families of coal miners, and for someone to participate in another activity besides football was rare and often discouraged. “Only coal mining was more important in Coalwood than high school football. Sputnik, and anything else, was going to always come in a distant third” (Hickam Jr. 27).

    It can be argued that human instinct is an ever evolving characteristic that is never always in sync with that of nature. Human’s have the ability and sometimes the burden to understand and comprehend what is happening to him and his surroundings. One thing that is consistent with Human instinct is that the level of understanding and the ability to adapt to one’s surrounding has both different points of views and attitudes towards what direction one should progress. What should the humans do to live sustainably?In Wendell Barry’s Getting along with Nature, Berry feels that change begins with the realization of interdependency between nature and humans. In The Tragedy of the Commons, by Garret Hardin, the population is the greatest evil facing sustainability. Hardin and Berry are the quintessential polar opposites in regards to their own personal perceptions, human nature, and faith in society but if we could meld these two minds then the idea of sustainability could become a reality.…

While this sounds like the direction that companies currently take anyway, pure pursuit of Ethical Egoism opens up a host of problems that deserve discussion.
