How we can justify environmental damage?

English
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Anthropogenic climate changes stress the importance of understanding why people harm the environment despite their attempts to behave in climate friendly ways. This paper argues that one reason behind why people do this is that people apply heuristics, originally shaped to handle social exchange, on the issues of environmental impact. Reciprocity and balance in social relations have been fundamental to social cooperation, and thus to survival, and therefore the human brain has become specialized by natural selection to compute and seek this balance. When the same reasoning is applied to environment-related behaviors, people tend to think in terms of a balance between “environmentally friendly” and “harmful” behaviors, and to morally account for the average of these components rather than the sum. This balancing heuristic leads to compensatory green beliefs and negative footprint illusions—the misconceptions that “green” choices can compensate for unsustainable ones. “Eco-guilt” from imbalance in the moral environmental account may promote pro-environmental acts, but also acts that are seemingly pro-environmental but in reality more harmful than doing nothing at all. Strategies for handling problems caused by this cognitive insufficiency are discussed.

How do you act with integrity in the decisions you make and how you interact with others? 5 sentences
labwork [276]

Answer:

By exercising honesty in all interactions, we set a standard for ourselves on which peers can depend. By being objective in decision-making, we show that we can be relied on not to allow partiality to cloud our judgment. And by acting on these ethics every day with every person with whom we interact for every circumstance, we build our credibility. Integrity is Doing The Right Thing When It’s The Right Thing You Should Do. If you own a business, have your own children or teach children, or have employees to supervise daily, then you are keenly aware of your actions and why integrity is essential. Every decision you make has an impact on others. While your words or decisions may benefit one employee, colleague, or child, it may also hurt or upset others.

I hope this helps, please consider giving me brainliest :)
