Environmental Ethics

Start with the main ideas

The mind map Environmental and Medical Issues is a useful place to begin. It brings together global warming, pollution, natural resources and stewardship, alongside medical issues such as infertility treatments and transplant surgery. Use it to see the range of material on the page, then focus on the environmental branches.

Next, open R.E. Environmental and Medical Issues for definitions of global warming and natural resources. You can compare these with the map on global concerns, which includes pollution, climate change, destruction of natural habitats and use of natural resources.

Build your knowledge of key terms

After looking at a map, try a flashcard deck to review the vocabulary. The deck on environmental and medical terms includes conservation, environment, global warming, natural resources and stewardship. It also includes medical terms, so you can select the cards that match what you are studying.

Another mind map presents environmental and medical issues through keywords, including a definition of conservation. Compare its wording with the flashcards and use the maps to see how the terms fit together. For religious perspectives, look at the map and notes on attitudes to the environment and animals. They include stewardship and the idea of protecting the natural world.

Connect the resources

Environmental Ethics is a section of Religious Ethics and Morality in Religion and theology. The resources on this page let you move between environmental questions, religious attitudes and the medical issues that appear alongside them in several maps and flashcards.
