ABSTRACT

Geographers study processes, both human-caused and natural, writing themselves on the face of the earth. Geography encompasses human/nature interactions and all the possible worlds and spaces that humans create in actuality and imagination (Lukermann 1961). Ethics is people’s character (ethos) and conduct. When we think about ethics we focus on the values and norms by which people measure their lives and in which they find meaning. We ask how we (or others) should live, mindful of ends, means and intentions (see Midgley 1993).
