Should ford held responsible for the sickness of the residents?
From my point of view, yes. Ford should be responsible for the accident caused which lead to
resident’s sickness. This is because the reason based on ethical perspective is that dumping causes a
lot of harm to anything that effected either the people or even other living creature. There is no way
that dumping would benefit to anyone. Furthermore, dumping waste will eventually be intoxicated
and could render the place effected inhabitable. There is no one and I believed, Ford themselves
doesn’t want their property to be place where wastes dumped and therefore it is considered unethical
for Ford to do such activities that would interfere with other’s living property.
Some of the key forms of environmental ethics that tend to describe Ford’s actions may
include: Dumping of toxic waste, unsustainable living environmental conditions and inability to
conserve the environment. What should be the right form of practice Ford should practice to promote
environmental ethics are: Promoting sustainable environmental conditions, conserving the
environment, some of the key factors that may help to ensure that the environmental is conserved is
by having to reduce and eliminate air and noise pollution, and avoiding dumping of toxic waste.
