Hello class
It took me some time to figure out what theme for my project I wanted to choose. I started first with Moden Slavery, then I thought Indigenous Rights, but landed with climate change. They all have the need for ethical decisions surrounding what needs to be done to make them right. Climate change is the one topic that not many people focus on or discuss because they think that they are not going to see big changes in their lifetime but what many do not understand it that those changes have already begun. Global warming has been going on for decades, but most do not understand enough to know. I’ll be honest I am one of those but every day I hear and read about more and more on the things that need to change to keep the sky from falling, so to speak. We all have an ethical obligation to do our best to change but if people do not have the morals or positive values to get started the ethical decisions will not follow.  Businesses must do the same when they are developing new production or when updating old production to keep up with demands. Honestly, I could go in so many directions with this, but I will save that for my paper. 
When it comes to one’s values and morals if a person who does not care about the environment and chooses to drive their car every day to work by themselves rather than commute or walk, then that is the absence of values to do the right thing like take the bus with others to cut down on emissions.

The global ethical issue I have chosen is Occupation and Seizure of Land (Sovereignty) and the ethical dilemma that I think be addressed is the betrayal of treaties and acts that gave Native Americans access to an already small portion of land they have been encouraged to live on. For the Lakota nations, their tribal lands have been moved several times as the government would find reasons for their removal such as land development or leaning what rich resources the land had that would benefit Non-natives.   
Morals and values heavily influence decision making with this issue because the people making these decisions are doing so based on the good of the predominately white society. During the time of the Trail or Tears many nations were relocated usually because the land they were living on had potential the US government felt were being wasted because they believed the Natives were savages and had no idea how they could benefit from the land, so they removed them to grow and develop.
