Overview

This curriculum guide is a consolidation of lessons taken from ten years of teaching environmental ethics. The guide's objective is twofold. First, to provide an introductory study of traditional and contemporary ethical theories and how these theories apply to humankind's relationship toward the natural world. Secondly, it is meant to help students better conceptualize, and articulate their ethic as well as evaluate, understand, and engage the views and values of others they will encounter as a natural resource professional. The topics are grouped into four subsections that include an introduction to general ethics and rhetoric, anthropocentric, and non-anthropocentric environmental ethics as well as a primer on methods for acquiring and actualizing an environmental ethic. Each lesson includes a student objective that reflects what the student is expected to learn and apply to their respective natural resources program major. The format also includes an overview and outline of the lecture content, key terms and concepts, readings, assignments and/or activities and a page for recording lecture notes. The readings and associated homework or in-class assignments/activities are used to trigger and provoke discussion about the lesson topic. The lessons found in this guide are intended to help the student discover and understand the principles and practices that make for a sound environmental ethic and choose a path in life that reflects those newly found principles, passions, and practices as well as learn how to respect and respond to those who may differ.
