Ethic of Care and Environmental Ethic

An ethic of care to me is, the ability to be responsive to a certain situation because of a feeling of emotion.

A Individual who is willing to create an ethic of care would be needed, as well as a concern in a particular area.

We would have to be educated about the environment for someone to car for it.  We need to have a strong sense of knowledge if we want to care for something; as caring is connected to our emotions.

If we cared about the environment we would act on certain problems such as climate change.  We wouldn’t just talk about the problem and solutions, we would actually produce a change.  I think this is something that happens in every negative situation that has to do with our environment.  Everyone talks about the problem, explains why it’s a problem, gives us solutions, but doesn’t actually take action.  For example, climate change.  Something so simple to help our world would be to limit the amount of fossil fuels or put out less vehicle emissions but yet nothing’s changed.

The world would be different as we would be more careful and not as careless.  We would take responsibilities of our actions and think before we act.  Although if every single person in the world cared about every problem or subject than we would lose opinions.  We would lose the perspectives of others.

We should adopt an ethic of care towards the environment.  There would be less people struggling in the world and even our earth wouldn’t be at risk if people just simply cared more.
