•Should scientific research be subject to ethical constraints or is the pursuit of all scientific knowledge intrinsically worthwhile?

•Do we tend to exaggerate the objectivity of scientific facts and the subjectivity of moral values?

•In what ways have developments in science challenged long-held ethical values? Can moral disagreements be resolved with reference to empirical evidence?

•Do human rights exist in the same way that the laws of gravity exist?

•Do scientists or the societies in which scientists operate exert a greater influence on what is ethically acceptable in this area of knowledge?

•To what extent are the methods used in the human sciences limited by the ethical considerations involved in studying human beings?

•Do researchers have different ethical responsibilities when they are working with human subjects compared to when they are working with animals?

•What are the moral implications of possessing knowledge about human behaviour?

•Should key events in the historical development of the human sciences always be judged by the standards of their time?

•What values determine what counts as legitimate inquiry in the human sciences? Can knowledge be divorced from the values embedded in the process of creating it?

•Is the role of the human scientist only to describe what the case is or also to make judgements about what should be the case?

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

• A variety of technologies, such as mobile phone apps, digital probes, computer modelling and online

calculators, to determine sustainability footprints.

• Secondary data collection using databases, remote sensing and satellite data.

• The development and use of models and simulations, such as mesocosms, modelling cycles (both

hands-on and virtually) and online soil sampling.

with that comes certain privileges. We can manage the environment and we can exploit it; therefore, it

is our duty to look after it and treat it respectfully.

• Romantic—its value to humans is seen aesthetically, as a beautiful and unadulterated thing.

• Imperialist—science can be used to control nature.

• Utilitarian—utilitarianism holds that the greatest good is happiness and freedom from pain and

suffering. Actions with outcomes that promote the greatest good for the greatest number of humans

(those that have the greatest utility) are morally right. Nature is seen from a utilitarian viewpoint in

terms of what it can do for humans.
