QUESTION 1
a. (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Anthropocentrism is a philosophical viewpoint arguing that human beings are the central or
most significant entities in the world. This perspective considers humans as the most
important factor in any given situation and interprets the world around us through a human-
centered framework. In the context of environmental ethics, anthropocentrism holds that
the environment is important insofar as it benefits and serves human interests and needs.
This viewpoint often leads to the belief that humans have dominion over the natural world
and the right to use its resources for their benefit.
