America is the land of opportunity. Opportunity for people to create families, and to create a better life for themselves. There is one thing standing in the way of families creating homes for themselves and that is known as the E.P.A., or the Environmental Protection Agency.
The home builders of America help each family by selling them a place to live and a place to raise a family, the builders give the people of America a home. The EPA takes away everyones chance of having a home to call their own. The question that arises is, is this ethical? Is it ethical to have a government funded agency tell people of American they can not buy a house to raise their family in? The EPA argues it is ethical because the nasty home builders are tearing down trees and taking away a family of squirrel's home. The poor squirrel will have to find another tree to call home if the nasty builder cuts down a tree to make a house for a family. The EPA thinks it is terrible to take away trees from the animals, they think it is unethical.The other side of the argument is much more logical. How can one argue that it is more important that a squirrel has a place to live then a family having a place to live? The truth of it is, since America is the land of opportunity, every person should have the opportunity to buy a house. The EPA is making it impossible to buy a house because it might disturb the turtle or the squirrel. If people would look into the laws, they would see that each builder has to plant about four trees on every lot, that way the squirrel and turtle can share the living space with the human family.
The EPA is an unethical organization for the home builder retailers because it deprives families their rights to build a family.
I think you have a great ethical dilemma here. The ethical issue that you present here is a tricky one. Whether the EPA is unethical when they protect certain ecological areas or whether they are actually trying to save the environment. In my opinion while the EPA might hurt some home builder retailers by denying them to build in some places, they might be saving important areas for our community.
ReplyDeleteThis does not fall into the retail industry. Please make sure you are working within the correct industry.
ReplyDeleteAccording to dictionary.com the definition of retail is, "the sale of goods to ultimate consumers, usually in small quantities". Therefore selling a home to a buyer (consumer) would certainly fall into the retail category.
