Pollution: A Moral Dispute

 The question is can pollution be analyzed ethically? There are many different principles on which to draw in moral reasoning about specific environmental problems. Pollution becomes a human act when it is done knowingly and without any compulsion as ethics requires. Yet it is difficult to determine its nature. For example, though the nuclear energy is useful it may harm the future generation. Hegel has pointed out long ago the nature of this tragedy, “it is the conflict not between right and wrong but between right and right.” But the following analysis on the repercussions of the pollution in the modern world state that it is the conflict between right and right. Thus degradation or pollution is problem in morality.
