This week in class we discussed a documentary film about the history of non-native/invasive species of “Cane Toads” in Australia.One of the issues we discussed was the ethical value (if any) of “Cane Toads,” which in turn would guide us in deciding what would be considered ethical treatment of them. A controversial aspect of ethical value of species is whether or not they are native to specific habitats/ecosystems.Summarize and discuss some of the key ideas related to this issue that we discussed in class.*** Remember that copying/pasting from any course materials (other than your own words in the Prep Guide), the internet, or using generative AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy.

The Biblical story of creation speaks of a God who creates humans ‘to rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the cattle, all the wild animals…’ and who grants humans ‘dominion over’ all other living things.Some have interpreted this to mean that humans may rightfully ‘dominate’ and control the natural world. Others have argued that humans should act as stewards, or caretakers, of what is, after all, God’s creation.Identify and discuss which of these views is most persuasive, including the specific reasons supporting it.*** Remember that copying/pasting from any course materials (other than your own words in the Prep Guide), the internet, or using generative AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy.
