This document contains workings, explanations and solutions to the SUS1501 Assignment 7 (QUALITY ANSWERS) Semester 2 2024. For assistance whats-app us on 0.6.8..8.1.2..0.9.3.4.... INSTRUCTIONS: Step 1: Set the scene To set the scene for this assessment we want you to first try and estimate your own ecological footprint. There are probably many ecological footprint calculators on the web but we suggest this one because the data used in the graphs you have just seen is sourced from the same site: If this one doesn't work, you can just google "ecological footprint calculator" and I'm sure you will find another one. Step 2: Write a comment about your footprint Right, now that you have an idea of what your ecological footprint is, you are going to do what you have done in most of the assessments up until now. You are going to post a comment (4 or 5 paragraphs this time) in the discussion forum below. Sounds simple enough right? Well yes and no. Your answer must contain all of the following parts: Part A You need to say something about your footprint based on what you have just read in the "Sustainability?" section. How do you feel about this result? Part B Next we want you to think back to your previous assessment, assessment 06. In that assignment that dealt with saving the mountain gorilla, we asked you to think about the essentially virtue ethics questions of: "So where do I fit in in this?" In light of what you have discovered in this assessment in relation to your own ecological footprint - i.e. your own engagement with nature - we want you to critically reflect on the answer to the "So where do I fit in in this?" question that you submitted in assessment 06. Do you think that the answer might need some adjustment or are you still happy that it is an Part C - counts 60% of the total grade Finally, the technical part is that we also want you to think about your ecological footprint from the perspective of some of the stuff you learned about in the ethics core. In particular we want you to think back on three of the traditions: - "Do the right thing - Deontology" -Here we want you to think about the sustainability problem from the perspective of Kant's categorical imperative (see Kan 'L do it'); -"It's all about the outcome - Consequentialism" - Here we want you to think about the consequences of your ecological footprint from the perspective of trying to maximise the aggregate good in the system; - "Fair's Fair - Distributive Justice" - here you need to think about what is fair for our children -for future generations - using Rawls' Principle 2a - Equality of Fair Opportunity specifically (see How to share .... John Rawls ()) Remember we must be able to see from your use of these that you have actually understood the theory in question. If we don't see this you will not pass this assessment.
