This is admittedly a complex topic, defined by our textbook
authors as the need to "consider more than economic, technological,
political, and social reasons in making decisions about how to
organize our lives" (p.280). In other words, the ecological impact
of a decision should be thought through just as carefully as one
might think through business considerations, such as expenses and
revenues. To help unpack this complex concept, explore one recent
example of public officials (policy makers, leaders, etc.)
employing ecological rationality, or failing to consider ecological
rationality, when dealing with an environmentally sensitive
issue.
As one option, consider viewing (or reviewing) Erin
Brockovich (2000), an award-winning film starring Julia
Roberts based on the true story of the title character's legal
battle against Pacific Gas and Electric Company over its role in
contaminating groundwater. Alternatively, you may choose to explore
a different example of an environmental disaster caused by
corporate wrongdoing.
As part of your analysis, respond to the following
questions.
