8. Ethics: professional, environmental, ICT; Sensitization towards others particularly

senior citizens, developmentally challenged and gender (8. Environmental Ethics & Human
Values)

Environmental ethics is the philosophical discipline that considers the moral and ethical
relationship of human beings to the environment.
While ethical issues concerning the environment have been debated for centuries, environmental
ethics did not emerge as a philosophical discipline until the 1970s. Its emergence was the result
of increased awareness of how the rapidly growing world population was impacting the
environment as well as the environmental consequences that came with the growing use of
pesticides, technology, and industry.

Environmental ethics helps define man's moral and ethical obligations toward the environment.
But human values become a factor when looking at environmental ethics. Human values are the
things that are important to individuals that they then use to evaluate actions or events. In other
words, humans assign value to certain things and then use this assigned value to make decisions
about whether something is right or wrong.

Human values are unique to each individual because not everyone places the same importance on
each element of life.

.What are Environmental Ethics?

Environmental ethics is a branch of ethics that studies the relation of human beings and the
environment and how ethics play a role in this. Environmental ethics believe that humans are a
part of society as well as other living creatures, which includes plants and animals. These items
are a very important part of the world and are considered to be a functional part of human life.
Thus, it is essential that every human being respect and honor this and use morals and ethics
when dealing with these creatures.

Global warming, global climate change, deforestation, pollution, resource degradation,threat of

extinction are few of the issues from which our planet is suffering. Environmental ethics are a
key feature of environmental studies, that establishes relationship between humans and the
earth. With environmental ethics, you can ensure that you are doing your part to keep the
environment safe and protected. With the rapid increase in world’s population, the consumption
of natural resources has increased several times. This has degraded our planet’s ability to provide
the services we humans need. The consumption of resources is going at a faster rate than they
can naturally replenish.

Environmental ethics builds on scientific understanding by bringing human values, moral

principles, and improved decision making into conversation with science.

Deforestation and Global Warming. These environmental issues have taken toll on our
environment and we’ve already started seeing some disastrous effects in the form of effect of
health on humans, rise in sea level, depletion of non-renewable resources, melting of glaciers,
extinction of species, polluted landfills, toxic dust, decreasing soil fertility, rise in air and water
pollution and many more.
Cutting down of trees is something that many humans do for their own benefit, without any
concern for the animals which are dependent on trees for survival. Using fossil fuels erratically,
industrialization, pollution, disturbing ecological balance, all these are attributable to human
activities. Just because we are in possession of all of these natural resources does not mean that
we can use those resources in any manner in which we choose without keeping anything for the
future generations.

Industrialization has given way to pollution and ecological imbalance. If an industry is causing
suchproblem, it is not only the duty of that industry but all the human being to make up for the
losses. But how long an artificial and restored environment will able to sustain? Will it be able to
take the place of the natural resources? Environmentalists are trying to find answers to these
difficult questions and all these together are termed as environment ethics.

It is the responsibility of all to ensure that environmental ethics are being met. It is somewhat
difficult to make adjustments that are necessary to ensure that you are following all
environmental ethics.

Ethics plays an important role in our society today, and environmental ethics and business ethics
must be considered. This has become more prevalent in today’s society.
