Well-structured SUS1501 Assignment 7 (ANSWERS) Semester 2 2025 - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED. (DETAILED ANSWERS - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED!).... ASSESSMENT 07: SUSTAINABILITY ? There is no conclusion to this section. I'm not going to tell you that I know thesolution. Or even that I'm hopeful that anyone knows the solution. What I can tellyou is that I believe if we are to have any hope of finding a solution, we are goingto have to undergo a social transformation on the kind of scale that ourpredecessors underwent when our societies moved from hunter gatherersocieties to agricultural ones, or when they moved from agricultural societies toindustrial ones. Major changes! And by major changes I don't mean 4th industrialrevolution claptrap. In spite of all the hype that is really just the latest version ofthe industrial revolution. But that is not really what this assessment is about. So, what is it about then? INSTRUCTIONS: Step 1: Set the scene 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: http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators/ 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 Thursday, 17 July 2025, 7:34 PM  13/08/2025, 23:07 Assessment https://mymodules.dtls.unisa.ac.za/mod/forum/view.php?id=/3 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. Step 3: Comment on comments (if you like) And I don't need to tell you this anymore but I will .... once you have postedyour original contribution, why not post comments on some of the othercontributions? It may even get you some extra marks. And that is it....Happy discussing!
