SUS1501 Assignment 7 (QUALITY ANSWERS) Semester 2 2025
This document contains workings, explanations and solutions to the SUS1501 Assignment 7 (QUALITY ANSWERS) Semester 2 2025. For assistance whats-app us on 0.6.8..8.1.2..0.9.3.4.. To set the scene for this assessment we want you to first try and estimateyour own ecological footprint. There are probably many ecological footprint calculators on the web but wesuggest this one because the data used in the graphs you have just seen issourced 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, youare going to do what you have done in most of the assessments up until Assessment 7 - 590462 Thursday, 17 July 2025, 7:34 PM 13/08/2025, 23:07 Assessment 7 - 590462 now. You are going to post a comment (4 or 5 paragraphs this time) in thediscussion 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 havejust 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, assessment06. In that assignment that dealt with saving the gorilla, we asked you tothink about the essentially virtue ethics questions of: "So where do I fit in inthis?" In light of what you have discovered in this assessment in relation to yourown ecological footprint - i.e. your own engagement with nature - we wantyou 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 stillhappy that it is an accurate and truthful reflection on your arête ? Part C - counts 60% of the total grade Finally, the technical part is that we also want you to think about yourecological footprint from the perspective of some of the stuff you learnedabout in the ethics core. In particular we want you to think back on three ofthe traditions: - " Do the right thing - Deontology " - Here we want you to think aboutthe sustainability problem from the perspective of Kant's categoricalimperative (see Kant do it! ); - “ Fair’s Fair - Distributive Justice ” – here you need to think about what isfair for our children - for future generations - using Rawls' Principle 2a –Equality of Fair Opportunity specifically (see How to share .... John Rawls() ) - "It's all about the outcome" - we want you to consider the issues we havejust outlined from a utilitarian position specifically. Remember we must be able to see from your use of these that you haveactually understood the theory in question. If we don't see this you will notpass this assessment.
