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 inventory presented me with several questions into what I valued most and least as moral values.

Through taking this inventory, I was able to gain an insight into how my values and perceptions could

Just-war theory, utilitarianism, and Virtue ethics all help show a different perspective on nuclear warfare. There are many solutions to it, however.
