What is at stake when making an ethical decision?
When making an ethical decision, morals are at stake. You may want to think it through thoroughly before making any choice that would compromise your morals.
ECOCENTRIC (ECOLOGY-CENTERED) ETHICS * any ethics or philosophy that places an emphasis on ecological wholes and moves away from individual plants and animals; value is placed on these ecological systems as wholes * early version of ecocentric ethics is Aldo Leopold's "Land Ethic" (see A Sand Country Almanac) * ecocentric ethics and philosophies are holisticethics, rather than individualistic. The holism can be "metaphysical"--the whole exists, apart from or as really as its parts (Callicott's belief that ecosystems create individuals.) Or "epistemological"-the whole is the chief way to understand the parts. Then there is moral holism-the system should be considered morally, independently of the individuals in that system. * an ecocentric ethics appeals to ecology in one way or another for help in explaining and defending its conclusions. Ecology is the study of the interactions of living organisms with each other and with their non-living environments. An ecosystem is an area in which a variety of living organisms interact in mutually beneficial ways with their living and nonliving environment (forests, wetlands, lakes, grasslands, deserts). Ecologists, like botanists and zoologists, focus more on interdependencies and relationships than on individual organisms. Ecology emphasizes such wholes as species, biotic diversity, ecological communities, ecosystems, and biological, chemical, and geological cycles. * problems this appeal faces are (1) the lack of complete agreement among ecologists about proper scientific methods, models, and conclusions; and (2) the difficulty of actually drawing any ethical conclusions from scientific observations

Is saying 'aw man' on accident bad?
While these may not be the most appropriate words for a particular situation, this is a matter of personal and individual morality, ethics, or manners. Nobody can tell anyone else what is moral. However, there are plenty of people who are more than just willing to let you know what they think about it. Now, having said all that, without being sure, a talk with parents, paster, or a trip to the library (e.g. books on manners), might be helpful, and a definition of aw man and bad wouldn't hurt either.

Can DNA show a person's personality or evil or good in them?
Every individual is the product of two fundamental influences, often described as nature and nurture, or heredity and experience. We are born with certain hereditary potential, but the sum total of our experiences in life will determine whether those potentials will come to pass. And DNA does not make people evil or good; everyone is born with the capability of being either evil or good. However, some people have greater capabilities than others, and that is related to DNA. At the present time, we are just beginning to learn about how DNA works, and we could not examine someones DNA and determine exactly what kind of potential is created by that DNA. But that may become possible in the future, if we learn more about DNA.

Here's a practical application. A recent advert for a finance assistant resulted in
over 130 applications. One inexperienced manaager was asked how she would deal with this flood of applications. 'Delete every other one' came the reply.
This would cut the task in half but also shred the firm's reputation for fair dealing, equal opporunities and ethical practice in HR matters. The solution chosen was to ask three staff members to read the applications to share the load using shared selection criteria.
