This article aims to demonstrate how the Integral approach can be utilized to understand and potentially resolve a particular human-ecological issue. It arises out of a research project that involved examining the factors inhibiting sustainable consumption and waste reduction in the community of Calgary. The Integral approach aims to ensure that no fundamental dimensions of the problem are neglected. It beckons us to consider body, mind, and spirit in the personal, cultural, and social realms of reality. 相似文献

In order to avoid the appearance of wastefulness people may be motivated to make choices that compromise their own self-interest. In Experiment 1 subjects learned that Mr Munn didn't take advantage of a ‘three-pack’ which would have enabled him to see three movies for $12, the regular price being $5 per movie. Most subjects predicted that after having attended two movies at the regular price, Mr Munn would then be unwilling to purchase a ticket to attend a potentially enjoyable third movie, either because he would consider such a purchase to be wasteful or because he would be angry at having eschewed the ‘three-pack’. In Experiment 2 subjects who could use an obsolete product to ‘trade-up’ to a new model were more likely to buy the new model than were subjects who could purchase it at the identical low price. It was hypothesized that utilizing an obsolete product to obtain a new model would seem less wasteful than making an outright purchase of the new model. In Experiment 3 a large majority of subjects faced with a sunk cost situation persevered with the failing project if the alternative was selling the material ‘for its scrap value’. However, if the alternative consisted of selling the materials for an identical price to someone who could use them, then subjects were less likely to persevere with the failing project. Marketing implications and the propriety of retrospective evaluation of prior decisions were also discussed. 相似文献

The momentum of advances in biology is evident in the history of patents on life forms. As we proceed forward with greater
understanding and technological control of developmental biology there will be many new and challenging dilemmas related to
patenting of human parts and partial trajectories of human development. These dilemmas are already evident in the current
conflict over the moral status of the early human embryo. In this essay, recent evidence from embryological studies is considered
and the unbroken continuity of organismal development initiated at fertilization is asserted as clear and reasonable grounds
for moral standing. Within this frame of analysis, it is proposed that through a technique of Altered Nuclear Transfer, non-organismal
entities might be created from which embryonic stem cells could be morally procured. Criteria for patenting of such non-organismal
entities are considered.

The magnitude of the global food waste problem is staggering, yet it receives little mainstream attention. We waste nearly half of all food produced—more than one billion tons annually—yet nearly one billion global citizens are hungry. Our values are out of balance; we need to properly value our food. Urgent change is needed, beginning with heightened awareness and a sense of responsibility to people and planet. Feeding nine billion people by 2050 is a tremendous challenge, but also a tremendous opportunity to develop new levels of innovation and collaboration to eradicate hunger, improve the environment for future generations, and create a more unified, secure world. A new, durable, multifaceted approach to reducing food waste is needed in the form of a global network. This global network should be anchored by a sense of shared responsibility among consumers, businesses, governments, and global institutions to optimize resources in the quest to provide for nine billion people by 2050. 相似文献

People with high level of trait mindfulness are more likely to maintain an open and present-focused awareness and attention. Whereas a positive link between trait mindfulness and well-being has been established, its influence on real-world performance has not been fully addressed. In Study 1, we validated the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) in a Chinese sample (N = 294) and found that a two-dimensional solution (a presence factor and an acceptance factor) best fit the data. In Study 2, using this validated scale, we directly investigated the influence of trait mindfulness on task and safety performance. In a sample of 136 Chinese nuclear power plant operators, it was found that trait mindfulness interacted with task complexity to influence performance. For high-complexity-task holders (the control room operators), the presence factor was positively related to their task and safety performance; for the low-complexity-task holders (the field operators), the presence factor had no influence on safety performance but a negative influence on task performance. The acceptance factor did not have any meaningful influences. These results suggest that the benefit of being mindful outweighs its cost for complex but not simple tasks. Implications are discussed. 相似文献

The design and economic realities associated with Personal Computers (PCs) was used as a model for implementing ethical issues
into the core-engineering curriculum. Historically, products have not been designed to be recycled easily. By incorporating
environmental ethics into our classrooms and industries, valuable materials can be recovered and harmful materials can be
eliminated from our waste stream. Future engineers must consider the economic cost-benefit analysis of designing a product
for easy material recovery and recycling versus the true cost of the disposal and continued use of virgin materials. A three
hour unit on the economic and environmental impacts of product design is proposed for inclusion in the ABET accredited engineering
program.

The triangle, a concept in Bowen theory, is the emotional molecule in the family system that shapes the human over the course
of life. This longitudinal study explored the influence of the family of origin primary triangle on 51 couples’ family of
procreation functioning over 10 years. The quantitative analysis found associations between family of procreation functioning
and three variables: distance versus openness in the family of origin primary triangle, the degree of inside and outside positions
in the primary triangle, and the degree of family projection as expressed in worry. In addition, the three triangle relationships
correlated with each other, supporting the idea that each relationship influenced the other. Using qualitative methods, a
focused analysis elaborated on the quantitative findings. 相似文献

Joseph Rotblat and the Moral Responsibilities of the Scientist 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Martin Clifford Underwood 《Science and engineering ethics》2009,15(2):129-134
Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat was one of the most distinguished scientists and peace campaigners of the post second world war
period. He made significant contributions to nuclear physics and worked on the development of the atomic bomb. He then became
one of the world’s leading researchers into the biological effects of radiation. His life from the early 1950s until his death
in August 2005 was devoted to the abolition of nuclear weapons and peace. For this he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, together
with Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs (that he helped found) in 1995. His work in this area ranked with that
of Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell and this article is an attempt to summarise his life, achievements, but in particular
outline his views on the moral responsibilities of the scientist. He is a towering intellectual figure and his contributions
to mankind should be better known and more widely understood.

Intertemporal decision making involves decisions that have consequences that span several periods of time and often extend far into the future. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and highlight the differences associated with different evaluation methods designed to cope with the long-term impacts of a decision including discounting. The concepts and ideas are illustrated in the context of a decision about a nuclear waste facility. We show how applying different discounting methodologies can greatly affect the decision made, especially over long time periods. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
