Is economics one of the most important thing in the world? Why
If libertarianism rejects intrinsic value of people, animals, and the environment, is this a good reason to reject libertarianism?
I would say that people who disagree about normative ethical theory CAN still reach an agreement on practical ethical questions in the business world. For the most part, everyone at the end of the day is going to agree on the idea that we must protect the place we all call home-the earth. With that being said, no matter the personal beliefs that everyone has, if they can work together to ensure that factor is being kept in place, they are more than likely going to. That would be on the extreme end. If two different employees had different views regarding the various theories, I am sure they would still work together to come to an agreement that would be for the betterment of the company because they both share the same desire to do well for themselves and the company.

- What is green economics. Explain in more than 150 words.arrow_forwardLocal government bans on plastic grocery bags due to environmental concerns have led to increased emergency room visits and deaths related to harmful bacteria such as E. coli, as many people do not wash their bags after each use. Which of the following best characterizes the statement? The statement demonstrates that even when government policies are enacted with good intentions, they do not always guarantee good outcomes due to unintended consequences and secondary effects. The statement demonstrates that normative economics is often confused with positive economics. The statement is an example of the fallacy of composition because all foods do not contain harmful bacteria. The statement shows that all environmental regulations have benefits that exceed the costs.arrow_forwardIn this chapter on page 61 the passage describes British scholar W. D. Ross, who rejected utilitarianism as an ethical approach. Ross felt that utilitarianism was too simplistic and did not align with how people ordinarily think about morality and obligations in real-world situations. The quote indicates that while utilitarianism provides a basic framework, Ross believed a more complex account was needed to capture ethics adequately in a diverse society. Different normative theories have their strengths and limitations, and reasonable people can disagree on these complex philosophical issues. Essentially, I believe in the golden rule which encourages people to have empathy, goodwill, and respect toward all others. It promotes ethical and considerate behavior by appealing to our own self-interest in fair and compassionate treatment. please help resond to this discussion postarrow_forward
