    SCRIPT FOR GGSR PRESENTATION

    Introduction: “Welcome to the Greatest show, today we will tackle about Business and Ecology”
    “Let the show begin.” - Ronie

    1. (Ecology/Business) – Karyl
    *TRANSITION*
    First, let’s define what is ecology?
    : Ecology is the study of the interactions between living species, including humans, and their physical
    environment (put an image of humans and physical environment po in my hand); it is also the field of
    science that analyzes how people or organisms interact with one another and their surroundings. Business
    and the environment are inextricably linked. The environment and business have a constant give-and-take
    connection. The environment provides inputs, information, and technology to the business, which it then
    returns in the form of goods and services. (Goods and services (put a picture po ng goods and services
    above)) The word 'business environment' refers to external influences, circumstances, and institutions that
    are beyond a company's control and have an impact on how it operates. These include customers, rivals,
    suppliers, the government, as well as social, political, legal, and technological issues. (Put a sign or
    picture po ng mga ito (customers, rivals, suppliers, the government, as well as social, political, legal, and
    technological issues)).

    2. Sociological Problem - Social Structure - Kia


    *TRANSITION*
    : Let’s proceed to the Dimensions of Sociological Problem.
    : Social problem is any condition or behavior that has negative effect into large number of people that
    needed to be addressed
    : Social problem has two element the Objective and Subjective element
    : The objective definition for social problem is the existence of a social condition. For example, a total
    homeless person that’s exist in the community
    : While subjective refers to belief that can be harmful to society and it should and can be change for
    example homeless people are harmful because they commit crime that can lead to high levels of poverty
    by combining these two elements will result as social problem.
    : Social problem was develop by social structure whereas it can be a solution too.
    : Social structure is the arrangement of the characteristic of the society. The gap between individuals’
    existence of upper or lower aspect of life called social stratification.

    3. Elements of Culture - Ronie


    *TRANSITION*
    In studying social problems, it is also important to understand the elements of culture or people’s way of
    life.
    These elements include Values, which define what is good, desirable, beautiful, and worth working for or
    the goals that culture gives people to strive to achieve in life. Next is Norms or shared rules for behavior.
    The mildest norms, called Folkways or general expectations for behavior in particular social situations,
    like shaking hands when being introduced to someone new. While Mores are more widely observed
    norms with greater moral significance, such as respectful behavior at a religious service. Another element
    is Laws or the rules for behavior enforced by the government. Next is Beliefs, they are the ideas people
    have about what is true and how things should be. This includes why certain events occur or conditions
    exist. Another element is Symbols or any words, objects, or image, which represents something beyond
    itself, it conveys meaning to people. Last is subculture, it refers to a specific set of values, norms, beliefs,
    symbols, and behaviors shared by a group of people unique enough to significantly distinguish them from
    the other members of a culture.
    4. Traditional attitude-environment - Louiela
    *TRANSITION*
    *TRADITIONAL ATTITUDE OF BUSINESS TOWARDS TO ENVIRONMENT*
    - Business, presumably, has contributed significantly to the destruction of the environment and
    earth. The formation of new services and products to satisfy the need and wants of the customers, for
    instance, do not come without any price to pay. (Example) The depletion of natural resources to create
    something. In spite of the fact that business has, in one way or the other, helped in the advancement of the
    personal satisfaction of individuals, it has, on the other hand, contributed to the destruction of the earth
    and the pollution of our environment. Business is socially responsible to the environment because it is an
    important part of the macro-ecological system. Business is part of the society and at the same time part of
    Mother Nature.

    5. Environmental ethics – Aubrey


    *TRANSITION*
    : Let’s move on to Environmental Ethics
    : Environmental ethics is a philosophical subject that investigates the moral relationship between humans
    and the environment, as well as the value and moral position of the environment and its non-human
    components.
    : Assume that putting out natural fires, culling feral animals, or destroying some individuals of
    overpopulated indigenous species is necessary to protect the ecosystem's integrity.
    : Will these behaviors be morally acceptable, if not mandatory?
    : Humans are frequently accused of polluting and destroying elements of the natural environment, as well
    as consuming a large share of the planet's natural resources, as being morally reprehensible. Is it merely
    because a sustainable environment is necessary to (present and future) human well-being if that is
    incorrect? Is it also wrong since the natural environment and/or its diverse elements have inherent worth
    that must be respected and preserved in any case?

    6. Philosophical Theories – Resti


    *TRANSITION*
    : Let’s talk about the Philosophical theories of Environmental Responsibility
    : It consists three Philosophical theories, the Anthropocentric theory, Animal Rights View theory, and
    Ecocentrism theory.
    : The first one is the Environmental Anthropocentrism.
    : It is the view that all environmental responsibility is derived from human interests alone.
    : The assumption here is that only human beings are morally significant persons and have a direct moral
    standing.
    : The second one is what we call the Animal Rights View.
    : On this view higher animals qualify as morally significant creatures, such as dogs and cats. Animal
    rights advocate Peter Singer goes a step further and argues that even lower animals, such as chickens,
    deserves equal moral.

    : The third theory is Ecocentrism.


    : This theory explains that we have direct and moral responsibilities to environmental collections, such as
    animal species and rainforests, just as we have direct responsibilities to humans even if there is no direct
    human consequence of destroying them.
    7. Implications - Jade
    *TRANSITION*
    The said theories have different implications on a business’s responsibility to the environment.

    First is Anthropocentric Perspective in this, businesses have an obligation not to damage the
    environment in ways that negatively impact human life.
    Second is Animal Rights Perspective in this, businesses have an obligation to avoid harming animals
    either directly or indirectly. They need to avoid harming animals directly, such as they might do through
    animal testing, or inhumane food production techniques. They need to avoid harming animals indirectly,
    such as they might do by destroying animal environments.
    Last is Ecocentrist's Perspective in this, businesses have a direct obligation to protect the environment
    since it is wrong to harm members of the moral community, and the environment is a member of the
    moral community.

    8. Moral and Social – Daniela


    *TRANSITION*
    : Now, let us proceed to the moral and social obligations of business to the environment.
    : We have a lot of obligations in every aspect of our life, but as aspiring entrepreneurs we must know the
    duties and responsibilities of our business to the environment.
    : In referring to those obligations, we must be aware of our prohibitions (the don'ts) and requirements
    (the do’s).
    : One way to emphasize the moral obligations, I want to discuss the three sources of it (laws, promises,
    and principles.)
    : The first one is the law-based moral obligation. This is where we are required and prohibited to do
    something according to the law. These are the duties and responsibilities we must do because there is a
    law that supports it.
    : The next one is the Promise-based moral obligations. Specifically, this is where the company or
    employees must perform something because of the promises or agreement made. For example, the
    incentives that are promised by the employers to its employees.
    : The last one is the moral principles as the basis of moral obligations. This is the third source of moral
    obligation in which it can be mandated by religious doctrine or derived through rational philosophical
    reasoning.
