Ethics

What is justice?

Justice is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses the fair and
equitable treatment of individuals within a society. It involves the impartial
administration of laws and the protection of individual rights to ensure that
everyone is treated with fairness, equality, and respect. Justice seeks to address
and rectify injustices, promote societal harmony, and maintain a balance between
the rights and responsibilities of individuals.
The legal proceedings adhere to due process, meaning that proper legal procedures
are followed, and the accused is afforded all the rights guaranteed by law.

What is fairness?

Fairness refers to the quality of being just, equitable, and impartial. It involves
treating all individuals or groups in a way that is free from discrimination, bias, or
favoritism, and it ensures that opportunities and resources are distributed without
undue advantage or disadvantage.

In the context of education, fairness is crucial to providing equal opportunities for all
students, regardless of their background, abilities, or circumstances. Here's an
example of fairness in education:

1. Organismal ecology includes physiological, Climate - the long-term prevailing

weather conditions in an area:
temperature, precipitation, sunlight, wind.
 2. Macroclimate - global, regional, and landscape level.
Microclimate –small, area (community
of organisms underneath a fallen log).

Global Ecology
1. The biosphere is the global ecosystem, the sum of all the planet’s
ecosystems.
Global ecology examines the influence of energy and materials on organisms
across the biosphere.
2. Landscape ecology - exchanges of energy, materials, and organisms across
multiple ecosystems.
3. Ecosystem ecology emphasizes energy flow and chemical cycling among the
various biotic and abiotic components.
4. Community ecology deals with the whole array of interacting species in a
community.
5. Population ecology focuses on factors affecting population size over time.

Air flowing close to Earth’s surface creates predictable global wind patterns.

Cooling trade winds blow from east to

west in the tropics; prevailing westerlies
blow from west to east in the temperate
zones.

Rising air masses release water and cause high precipitation, especially in the tropics.

Dry, descending air masses create arid climates, especially near 30°.

Air flowing close to Earth’s surface creates predictable global wind patterns.

Cooling trade winds blow from east to west in the

Bodies of Water
- Oceans, their currents, and large lakes moderate the climate of
nearby terrestrial environments.
The Gulf Stream carries warm water from the equator to the North Atlantic.
