Environmental Ethics

Morality is a study of the correctness and error of human behavior. Environmental ethics studies the influence of human morality on the environment and everything in it (Stanford University Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2008). The ethical principles governing these relationships determine human responsibility, duties and responsibilities for the natural environment of the earth and all the animals and plants that inhabit it (Taylor, 1989). The purpose of this article is to clarify environmental problems that threaten the existence of life on Earth and to discuss our social responsibility to avoid further damage to our descendants' environment, health and life .

In this paper, we describe qualitative research on environmental ethics by environmental activists. 29 participants reply in writing about the definition of their own environmental ethics, this ethical-oriented expression and experience in their lives, and the openness of maintaining this ethical orientation. There are four major themes. First, the ethical consideration of the natural environment extends to ethics, values, personal life and public life. Secondly, emotional or spiritual experience or personal achievement is important to many people. Third, there are differences in the relationship between environmental principles, intent and action, and the need to define specific behaviors. Finally, there is a different view on the role of humanitarian concerns in environmental ethics.

Environmental ethics is formally defined as a study of the interaction between humans and nature. In terms of business, environmental ethics is related to the company's responsibility to protect the environment in which the business is deployed. Public perceptions of damage caused by human behavior to the environment have encouraged people's demand for government regulation directly affecting the enterprise's ability to perform business. Corporate response to government regulation is the greatest concern of environmental business ethics.
