Describe your ethical perspective, or worldview, as it pertains to your relationship with the environment. In my ethical perspective, the world fails to appreciate its relationship with the environment. I find myself falling into this typical category by not seen our environment for its face value. Many have analyzed a relationship as a form of the following: care, support, connection, and well-being between a person or thing. This view of a relationship does not exist when it comes to our environment
INDIVIDUAL ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE In an attempt to obtain a clearer awareness of my own ethical perspectives, I completed the Ethics Awareness Inventory. This inventory presented me with several questions into what I valued most and least as moral values.

relativism, in that there can be no consideration of other perspectives because it is argued that there is only one “true” perspective (Balraj Chauhan & Mridul Srivastava, 2009).

Aristotelian Perspectives on Social Ethics I examine the philosophical perspectives of Aristotle on issues of medical ethics and on his social ethics in general, including the moral issues of abortion, euthanasia, and other issues of social ethics such as the issue of cloning. I have chosen the domain of applied ethics as viewed from the Aristotelian point of view precisely because certain issues have been virtually unexamined by scholars.
