Actions that would have once been seen as morally wrong are now clouded over by the biggest player in today’s society, the market. The market system has defaced morality in almost every aspect.

  • Essay On Climate Change In Mongolia

    1608 Words  | 4 Pages

    As mentioned in Frank Ackerman’s article, our moral obligation to protect the lives and livelihoods, children and our future generations became a matter of counting numerical numbers now. Thus, highly money oriented society looses all the meanings of obligation and gratitude towards environment and culture. The monetary evaluation system becomes highly complicated and ineffective for non-economic values because when the economy starts working efficiently and starts recovering from any monetary losses, it is still unable to recover from the ”real loss,” the environmental and cultural damages.

Immediate action and changes in attitude are not only necessary for survival but are also morally required. In this paper, I will approach the topic of environmental ethics from several related sides.
