Social ecology (ethics)

Not to be confused with Social ecology (academic field) or social ecology (disambiguation).

Social ecology is the concept of how people interact with their surroundings, how they respond to it, and how these interactions impact society and the environment at large.[1] Think about conventional ecological studies, where students investigate how various natural processes must interact to form the world's ecosystems.[2]

The same methodology is used in social ecology, which looks at society as a whole. Social ecologists examine the larger picture of our "system" by examining how individuals, collectives, and institutions interact and depend on one another. This perspective enables a more efficient method of addressing the collective issues facing society[3][4]
