IV; Hallman, GregThe causes of the 2007-2008 US financial crisis that nearly brought down the largest economy in world history are both complex and numerous. While the eventual bursting of the housing bubble that precipitated the collapse is the ultimate force that pushed the economy over the edge, the root causes extend all the way back to the Great Depression and the resulting government legislation passed in its wake. This legislation combined with future government intervention into the housing market and the rise of securitization from the private sector primed the economy for an apocalyptically catastrophic collapse, forcing millions of Americans out of homes, out of jobs, and into bankruptcy. While many suffers claim that the greed-fueled investment banks on Wall Street and their political counterparts in Washington are the ones to blame, the scale and scope of the crash are far too expansive to allow for any single individual, firm, or decision to be the sole source of blame. Ultimately, in order to answer the question of whether a lack of morals was what truly dismantled history’s largest ever economy requires revisiting nearly a century’s worth of build up. The following sections will attempt to do just that.Item Toward A More Moral Environmentalism(2023) Gravaas, Pernille; Mosser, MichaelThis thesis explores the differences in moral environmentalism between northern Europe and North America, using the comparative lens of indigenous and western perspectives. The study specifically focuses on the Sámi and Anishinaabe indigenous groups, correlating their perception and interaction with the environment to the western non-indigenous mode of thinking, analyzing the differences and similarities in the moral values held toward the environment. The goal of this research is to identify how individual's moral values are developed, and the distinctive qualities that influence how they view and interact with nature. The study makes the claim that indigenous cultures uphold stricter environmental morals and ideals, and therefore should be used in more exceptional environmental conservation measures. As moral standards differ by region and have an impact on how people value and treat the environment, the research also aims to address how different environmental policies and regulations relate to them. In the end, this study emphasizes the need for a change in thinking regarding ecological preservation from a western perspective to an indigenous perspective, as the indigenous viewpoint emphasizes a more significant spiritual and intellectual relationship between humans and nature, which can help influence more benevolent and environmentally conscious behavior.Item What Is a Moral Foreign Policy?
