...anthropocentric ethic nature deserves moral consideration because how nature is treated a¡ects humans. In an ecocentric ethic nature deserves moral consideration because nature has intrinsic value. In two experiments participants (n=91 and 84) generated moral reasoning responses to ecological moral dilemmas. The reasoning was coded as ecocentric, anthropocentric, or nonenvironmental (i.e., social contracts, truthfulness). Individual di¡erences and situational variables were examined in relation to moral reasoning about ecological dilemmas. Pro-environmental attitudes were related to more ecocentrica nd anthropocentrica nd less nonenvironmental reasoning. The presence of information about the impact of ecological damage on the environment, especially a more ‘‘wild’’ environment, elicited more ecocentric reasoning, while the presence of a social commitment elicited more nonenvironmental moral reasoning. The implications of the research for con£icts over environmental commons dilemmas are discussed. # 2001 Academic Press Ecocentrism and Anthropocentrism: Moral Reasoning about Ecological Dilemmas There is as yet no ethicd ealing with man’s relation to land and to the animals and plants which grow upon it. . .

...The Advantage of Wireless Systems Learning Team C University of Phoenix BIS/220 Mark Kolesinsky August 1, 2013 The Advantages of Wireless Systems As Party Plates continues to expand, technology must remain a major focus of our growth. While transitioning from Excel to a relational database such as Access will allow our employees to perform their tasks more efficiently and enjoy a greater level of communication, there are other wireless technologies available which can increase both efficiency and communication even further. These wireless technologies and the increased efficiency and production will allow even greater levels of production from our employees and eventually higher profits, in addition to the cost savings which are provided by other features of these technologies. Wireless Local Area Networks The first wireless technology that Party Plates should make use of is a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). A WLAN would allow Party Plates the benefits of our current Local Area Network (LAN), but also allow several other benefits that we don’t receive from a LAN. With a LAN, an employee must be present at a computer that is connected by cable to the network, along with each printer. With a WLAN, employees could bring their laptops to work and log into the WLAN. Or, since smart technologies are growing rapidly, employees can even access the WLAN on their phones or tablets. This will result in no longer requiring workstations for employees, and instead cause a more free...
