1721 The Risk Society? Beck, Goldblatt and Social Shortfalls in Environmentalism. As we prepare to enter the 21st century, it is probably wisest to view matters of environmentalism and environmental problems in terms of the culture or cultures that have given rise to degradation and to ways of living that continue to harm the environment, yet which are mainstream practices that are rather taken for granted by many. However, this paper is rooted in the theme of societies, individuals and their attitudes as only slowly changing. As the examples referred to will suggest, there is much reason to question Ulrich Beck's position on environmental Risk as something that will be averted by social dynamics as much as policy decisions. 10.5 pgs. 17 f/c. 22b.

1850 Protecting the Environment. This paper will argue that protection of the environment has traditionally been an ostentatious good that only the rich countries can afford. Sustainable development has been considered an oxymoron. In simple terms, excessive care for the environment has been demographically and economically unfeasible. It will also be argued, however, that in recent years significant progress has been made towards environmental protection through inter-governmental organizations such as APEC and the WTO. 7 pgs. 16 f/c. 12b.

2014 The Ethics of Respect for Nature. This paper discusses Paul Taylor's arguments that a moral approach toward nature has a fundamental place in the foundations of a life-centred system of environmental ethics. He believes that it is the inherent good of individual organisms that should shape humanity's moral relations with nature. He disagrees with the human-centred approach, which sees actions toward nature as founded on human interests. Instead, he argues, our relationship with nature should be based on the assumption that living organisms are our equals. 3.5 pgs. 0 f/c. 0b.
