Objective:  To understand more fully the humanity issues of land to people. Your letter should focus on an ethical issues relating to human uses of the land. Choose a named or unnamed person discussed in the lectures or class readings and a significant ethical issue made by that person with a moral context of right and wrong. This person an his/her ethical decision is the subject of your letter. Include the issue and the person in the title of the letter.

Most people have convictions about what is right and wrong based on religious beliefs, cultural roots, family background, personal experiences, laws, organizational values, professional norms and political habits. These are not the best values to make ethical decisions — not because they are unimportant, but because they are not universal. In practice, ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality, by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. Emphasize universal standards in your letter discussion.

 You can use Aldo Leopold’s definition of land ethics or any other appropriate definition. Leopold called for a new ethic dealing with human’s relation to land and to the various components that are included in the land. In The Sand County Almanac published one year after Aldo Leopold’s death he argued that the next step within the expansion of ethics was to include nonhuman members of the earth and the land upon which they lived as elements with a moral context of ethics. Leopold’s basic principle of his land ethic was that, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.” Described by him in a different way: “The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land.”

Divide your letter into three sections each with a subtitle. The first sections should define/describe your ethical issue or issues and analyze the moral implications of right and wrong. The second section should describe the person making the decision and his/her context to land, historic setting. (This will be the shortest section.) The third section should present what you believe is the correct ethical decision that should be applied to this issue. The letter should include multiple graphic illustrations such as maps, photos, charts, and drawings. Each of the elements must have captions and references.
