🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 The *seminar titled "The Relevance of Moral Philosophy to Agriculture" is about to commence, with a wide range of participants including students, faculty, and special guests from various institutions.* 02:33 Dr. *Robert Zimdall, the esteemed speaker, challenges conventional agricultural practices by focusing on ethical concerns and sustainability.* 06:52 Ethics *deals with values and societal principles governing views of right and wrong, often used interchangeably with morality.* 10:15 While *subjective in personal matters, ethical claims can be supported by logical reasoning and are not merely opinions.* 13:51 Dr. *Zimdall encourages questioning assumptions, especially in ethical matters, despite personal discomfort.* 22:35 The *belief that there's no objective truth in ethics is challenged, arguing that ethical claims are supported by logical reasoning, not just subjective opinions.* 27:30 Common *misconceptions about ethics include inappropriate standards of proof, confusion between persuasion and proof, and overlooking the complexity of ethical questions.* Traditional methods *of determining what is right include relying on tradition, legal authority, revealed truth, and guilt.* Critical thinking *involves open-minded, disciplined analysis and evaluation of information to guide beliefs and actions.* Ethics is *not simply a set of prohibitions or rules, but rather a complex system influenced by time, culture, and individual beliefs.* Ethical judgments *are not solely based on subjective feelings but can be influenced by various factors including culture and upbringing.* Simple ethical *rules often conflict, requiring careful consideration of context and consequences.* Various ethical *theories, including ethical egoism, utilitarianism, social contract theory, and deontology, provide frameworks for determining right action.* Ethical considerations *in agriculture include addressing issues such as pollution, waste, and the responsible use of technology.* Educating older *generations in agriculture about innovative and cost-effective practices can be challenging but necessary for sustainable farming.* 01:00:33 The *average age of farmers is increasing, and there are limited paths for new farmers to enter the industry in the United States.* 01:01:01 Three *ways to become a farmer are through patrimony, matrimony, or parsimony, but all are virtually impossible for many.* 01:01:56 Education *alone may not be enough for farmers; they need practical advice and support, especially regarding crop varieties, pest control, water management, etc.* 01:03:02 Small *farms disappearing leads to the loss of community values and support systems, impacting rural areas negatively.* 01:04:15 Encouraging *young people to become farmers and providing support from the government and universities is essential for the future of agriculture.* 01:06:25 Agricultural *ethics should be incorporated into educational institutions, including input from philosophy departments.* 01:16:55 Public *opinion has driven changes in animal welfare standards, but ethical considerations differ across species and industries.* 01:21:41 Food *sovereignty challenges the dominance of multinational corporations and supports small farmers, while food security focuses on ensuring consistent access to food for all.* [01:27:03] Ethical *dilemmas arise in agriculture due to advancements like biotechnology, leading to moral differences regarding GMOs, organic vs. inorganic farming, and sustainability.* [01:27:56] Bridging *the gap between traditional and modern agriculture requires finding common ground despite moral differences, fostering dialogue, and learning to understand opposing views.* [01:28:15] Sustainability *in agriculture is universally supported, but defining what to sustain (e.g., production) leads to differing opinions on practices like GMOs and pesticides.* [01:29:42] Agricultural *dialogue should shift from monologue to dialogue, where both sides listen and understand opposing views to find solutions that accommodate various perspectives.* [01:31:33] Modern *agriculture has shifted risks from farmers to the public, sparking concerns and resistance, highlighting the need for inclusive discussions and solutions.* [01:34:08] Organic *agriculture is favored for perceived purity and safety but lacks the extensive research backing modern agriculture, leading to debates about productivity and feeding the world.* [01:39:26] Public *perception of organic agriculture is positive, but concerns about productivity remain, leading to debates about its ability to feed the world.* [01:40:35] The *definition of food security should consider domestic production to ensure a nation's self-sufficiency, addressing concerns about reliance on foreign food sources.* [01:42:56] Addressing *global hunger requires collaborative efforts from governments, aid organizations, and infrastructure improvements to ensure food distribution to those in need.* Made with HARPA AI
FACTS: Americans killed thousands of Filipinos (Tausug) Moro people in Bud Dajo, Jolo Sulu in March 8, 1906. And massacred the Filipinos ages 9 years old and above (Waray) in Balangiga, Samar in September 28, 1901. While China just did business and trades even before Ferdinand Magellan arrived in March 16, 1521. As a Soldier, we will protect the territorial sovereignty and defend the constitutional integrity. BUT the South China Sea dispute is very complex DUE to overlapping EEZ claims. The best SOLUTION is simple --- bilateral negotiation. All conflict around the world in the history of mankind ended up into an agreement or negotiation. Another FACTS: The 2016 Arbitral ruling (South China Sea Arbitration Tribunal) it's not a PCA ruling. It's only a REGISTRY. There's no order. There's nothing to enforce, nothing to implement. No penalty. In other words, it's just a piece of paper. SAD Truth. Because the Arbitration ruling is CONFLICTING with the PD1596 in 1978 of PFEM. The most painful was the Philippine government of PNOY spent millions of pesos to pay the Judges and the Tribunal including the other party (China didn't participate at all).
You presented it so well po, Justice Carpio. The visual presentation is so informative. Thanks for helping me understand this better as a student and as a Filipino citizen. #ParasaPilipinas
May I be your partner as well..... can you teach me..? I have a small farm and really interested to start planting native trees.... in fact I have started a little bit already.....thank you po....Prof..
I am interested in planting different trees for mow I have native trees name Canarium Luzonicum or Manila Emeli others call it Sahing. Other trees grow in my backyard that I dont know the name. Maybe birds brings the seed same with Canarium luzonicum.
Hope you can have your video presentation reach all the different governors all over the Philippines. DENR and LGUs must exert effort to have one mandatory conference and workshop and have all provincial govt officials attend.
Question is can we take it back without using Force? Will the Chinese handover this to us without a war? All Carpio said is true but... think again and be realistic. Can we give instruction to UN to guard our territory? Because it’s ours. Will US stand with us just in case? If so what happen to 2012 stand off? Isn’t that the perfect time for US to help us? Are we Filipinos ready to take it back??? Our Young’s so busy with ML ang tiktok, how much of our politicians are willing to bring back the ROTC?
New subscriber po. I hope magkaroon ulit Ng tree planting program ang gobyerno sa buong bansa. Kahit Hindi everyday,kahit isang araw Lang sa isang taon,mas mabuti na kaysa ilang Tao Lang ang gagawa sa konting lugar. O Kaya ay bawat empleyado Ng pamahalaan,pribado at mga mag aaral sa publiko at pribado. Maging SA MGA local na mga barangay,Sana po talaga. Kahit DENR or Bu.of Plant Industry or ideklara Ng next president(2022) na magkaroon Ng National Tree Planting Day po Sana.🙏🏞️👉🇵🇭🌏
Ako rin po sana gusto magtanim ng mga puno tulad sa white lauan seedling pra magkaruon ng gubat samin kaso walang binhi kung saan mayruon, quezon province
Globalization Skeptics: The skeptics argue that the side effects of globalization on the society are much greater than its positive effects. One of the greatest skeptics, Ralph Dahrendorf, foresees a threat to social cohesion due to increase in individualism and competition.
Hyper-globalizers are of the opinion that globalization is real and everywhere. It brings about accelerated economic interdependence and intense competition, which leads to qualitative economic growth. According to them, with increasing globalization, the nation-states are drawing to a close.
A PRODUCT OF RESEARCH FROM A BRILLIANT MIND OF A HERO.....He immortalizes the lyrics of our LUPANG HINIRANG-- "Sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil....Aming ligaya 'pag may mang-aapi....ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo!" ...Kudos to Justice Carpio and his team!
Thank you for this inspiring and informative video, this really helps us students to broaden our intellectual minds on the aspect of design thinking. Truly "empathy" plays a big role to achieve effective and effecient solution to any kind of problems. So let's hum altogether for transformational innovation. 🌱💪
Science and technology solve societal challenges and cure human pains that is why STS is equals to innovation. In order to solve problems in our world and provide solution we need to have empathy, because emphaty is the heart of design thinking and through emphaty we can put ourselves in the perspective of our customer whom we are designing a solution.
I have found that we all have both the potential to solve an issue and the potential to be part of a solution and I also learned that Design thinking is also the effective way to solve a dilemma as it is the important solver methods we can use even on our personal life conditions and relationship problems. The Collaborations between Humility and Humind Collaborations are an efficient way to apply when working on a design thinking project as Humind collaboration has made it possible to approach all problems from all angles and thus create a solution that will cover you in all areas as well. Furthermore, we need to be humble enough when solving a problem to search for the customer viewpoint at any stage in the design thinking period. We need to keep humming for Humility and Humind collaboration for us to innovate. To sum up everything that has been stated, this video is really encouraging people to become a great innovator and to communicate the solution of the problems we encountered in our world through innovation.
