Text of the page (random words):
ng to the consumer lifestyle can have on a person cavities can wreak havoc on ones oral health when they are not cared for properly resulting in a root canal fillings and hours upon hours in a chair with a drill i now see ethical relativism may have been right there helping to inform new ideas of the right and wrong of junk food chlorine or any other behavior i had not thought about critically maybe it s not ok to eat a whole bag of doritos and chug a 2 liter of mountain dew every other day this experience applies to the health of my family and friends as well my mother and father both have hypertension which is generally associated to diet because right and wrong are determined by ethical relativism what a person s society believes becomes a major factor in that person s ethical decision making process society often follows blindly the advice of doctors scientists business people politicians and other people in positions of authority if society is to let them lead the way in determining what is right their behavior is directly affected by a third party they are not making decisions for themselves and are rather being manipulated by society s demands such as societies demand to vaccinate most all children even though most people in the united states are not ethical relativists according to rosemarie tong it seems to me that ethical relativism is a part of many of the other aspects in our lives like consumerism and health care just as tong states in the opening of chapter two ethical theories are plural rather that singular in number is the feeling that when all said and done ethics is a very relative or highly subjective practice in all realms of human activity tong 2007 i think that right and wrong are relative subjective and also universal to varying degrees everyone has their own opinions and feelings about ethical decisions and there are many ethical theories that interplay amongst those opinions and feelings depending on the person and a whole host of other factors ethical decisions are generally made using some degree or variation of ethical relativism tong says ethics is not a science it is an art that requires every ounce of moral imagination emotion and thought we can muster regardless of whether ethics is an art or science to me it is like everything else relative references tong r 2007 new perspectives in healthcare ethics

heikes 202 introethicaltheory pdf posted in uncategorized leave a comment what bioethics means to me january 19 2012 by travis stephen childs humans are more related to fungi than any other kingdom of life what implications does this knowledge have for bioethics in my current understanding the definition s of bioethics are numerous and operate on a broad spectrum because i believe there is no such thing as objectivity in science i think that bioethics like all science is subjective therefore it is evolving although i feel this way my feelings are not based on ethics but rather life experience bioethics will evolve and advance as man evolves and the sciences and technologies of man advance so in my current understanding bioethics is a subjective philosophic science what bioethics means to me are the value s placed on life issues or sciences and the proper principles and practices associated with those issues ethics are at the foundation of what man should and should not do by values i am also referring to morals beliefs and feelings although bioethics is not the same as morals beliefs or feelings associated to life issues or life sciences bioethics is relevant or related to all sciences technologies and biological issues on earth or in the universe this is because everything in the universe is related on a quantum scale in the contemporary sense of the word bioethics are the study of ethical issues in the biological sciences and medical related fields that may be controversial or considered to be a new technology that has yet to be regulated often new technologies advance through science faster than social political or economic regulations policies and long term research data can be applied i would like to see the conversation around bioethics advance beyond contemporary medical and technological issues such as biotechnology nanotechnology or abortion procedures and move into more conceptual fields such as biophillia technophillia biognosis telegony biogenesis and immortality in much more contemporary fields i would like to see bioethics reach the fields of resource development and use community development industrial automated application and ecological manufacturing and even consumerism as these things affect and have consequences to life for all living organisms especially humans posted in bioneers biophillia community health ethics

justice the bioneers are engaged citizens from all walks of life who focus on solving our most urgent problems within a framework of interdependence it is all connected taking care of nature means taking care of people and taking care of people means taking care of nature bioneers take a solve the whole problem approach that is holistic systemic and multidisciplinary bioneer root biological pioneer is a neologism coined by filmmaker author and eco activist kenny ausubel according to utne reader a bioneer is a biological pioneer an ecological inventor who s got an elegant and often simple set of solutions for environmental conundrums as coined by ausubel the term describes individuals and groups working in diverse disciplines who have crafted creative solutions to various environmental and socio cultural problems rooted and shared core values including whole systems antiparticipatory thinking a view of all life as interdependent and sustainable mutual aid the great use of the term since its coinage has been in relation to the annual bioneer conference founded by ausubel and held annually in san rafael california the great lakes bioneers conference is held annually in traverse city mi national speakers from the big bioneers conference in san rafael are beamed in by live satelite broadcast to our local glb conference great lakes bioneers hosts local workshops keynote speakers vendors food and much more it is an opportunity to unite with like minded community members and gather information and inspiration to carry throughout the year are you a bioneer if you are reading this probably bioneers is a new word made up to describe the emerging culture of social and scientific innovators who mimic nature s operating instructions working with rather than against and collaborating rather than competing do you love trees and value their contribution to our quality of life do you love your bike and use it to get around do you love knowing who grows your food and

permaculture uncategorized leave a comment travis s childs march 11 2011 by travis stephen childs my name is travis stephen childs previously i have lived and worked in grand rapids mi 2001 2007 while living and working in grand rapids i gained experience in urban gardening and agriculture nutrition education and program development and coordination with students k 6 who participated in mixed greens a children s vegetable project at eleven various elementary school sites i assisted and participated in developing organizing implementing and coordinating michigan based organic garden and nutrition programing besides working with mixed greens i also worked with the heartside peace garden greater grand rapids food systems council blandford nature center and the cherie inn the cherie is grand rapids longest running restaurant first opening its doors in 1924 in the historic fairmont square district it is housed in a one hundred year old building and it features the original tin ceilings vintage art and stickley furniture of grand rapids dating back to the 1940 s it has been renowned for its unique breakfast lunch and gracious service working at the cherie inn from 2001 to 2007 washing dishes cooking meals and prepping delicious recipes i gained a bulk of my culinary experience in 2007 i had a chance to attend the grow biointensive gardening 3 day workshop with john jeavons in detroit mi at that time i had not realized the extent of my compassion for the people plants and animals within michigan especially the city of detroit while living and working in lansing mi i worked with the hunter park community gardenhouse allen street farmers market and bingham elementary school garden club 2008 in 2008 while attending michigan state university organic farming certificate program i had another chance to visit detroit and tour various urban garden projects of the greening of detroit again i was impressed with my desire and the appeal to be a part of the rejuvenation of the people plants and animals of detroit michigan and all of the great lakes bioregion my resume is available for your review on my blog dandelion also for your review is a link to my facebook profile with many pictures and information about me permaculture design course i want to take the permaculture design course to enhance my ecological perspective and skills in designing ecologically sustainable patterns systems i hope to obtain a deep understanding of natural design patterns within permaculture ethics i plan to continue consulting and educating people on nature awareness ecological lifestyle choices and food and medicine cultural principles and practices i have offered workshops and classes about organic pest management medicine making and wild food and medicine plants to the public in the past and i will do this more in the future surrounding a permacultural minded community specific areas of learning that interest me are overcoming traditional economic challenges to sustainable developments such as the issue of putting profits and egocentric agendas over inherit community and individual needs a fully developed permaculture designer would display the qualities and personality of a balanced compassionate being a deep understanding of co creation and co evolution would be apparent in this designer this designer is one who is observant in seeking to understand the complexities and simplicities of cultural and societal constructions and how to best relate them to natural design patterns this person is thoughtful and patient in correlating ecological ideals with cultural and societal needs and the needs of the community my greatest strengths as a learner are my passion for what i am learning and my ability to inspire those around me in the learning community i really enjoy a regular steady discussion group study groups of all kinds and presentations and group sharing etc what i can offer to co learners in the pdc is a companionship and determination in co creating a inspired thoughtful and determined learning community my greatest fears as a learner are not being accepted for who i am and what i believe in what holds me back as a learner is often my instable mental state of being depression and anxiety are some of my instable challenges a recent learning experience that has affected me greatly is the community surrounding the student organic farm at michigan state university the learning environment was ripe for me in presenting textbook learning and experiential learning together in often relative formats in 2008 a group of about 20 people gathered at the sof in a learning community intensively learning all aspects of organic farming for 45 weeks my experience living or working in a community are many which include working with wellhouse emergency homeless shelter for women children and families in grand rapids mi in this community i would supervise facilitate and manage certain social and facilities needs including an art therapy program opening and closing the kitchen and helping individuals with their personal social needs thank you for your time and consideration love
