The aim of the study is to examine the influence of altruistic values, egoistic values, and perceived consumer effectiveness on eco-friendly purchase intention, with moderating effect of subjective ...norms and ecological consciousness using the stimulus organism response paradigm. The primary data were collected from 491 Indonesian customers using snowball sampling, and the data were analyzed using a structural equation model. The results revealed that altruistic, egoistic, and perceived consumer effectiveness had a significant impact on consumer attitude and perceived behaviour control. Similarly, customer attitude and perceived behaviour control influenced eco-friendly purchase intention. Subjective norms showed positive moderation between attitude, perceived behaviour control, and purchase intention; similarly, eco-friendly consciousness had a positive connection between attitude and purchase intention but not between perceived behaviour control and purchase intention. The study's results will help green marketers devise new strategies for attracting and increasing sales volume in Indonesia's growing markets.
In the past two decades, Indigenous faculty and graduate students at research-intensive universities have been asserting a kind of cultural and intellectual sovereignty over their own academic ...production and participation. While colonization through assimilationist education suppressed - and continues to suppress - Indigenous community knowledge and Indigenous scholars have been drawing on Indigenist revival movements creating new academic works and challenging the conventions of what constitutes research. This article presents conversations in contested spaces regarding Indigenous identity and expression. It draws, in part, on the author's own experience traveling between Indigenous communities and universities while supervising Indigenous PhD students. Universities are in conflicted positions as they ostensibly invite Indigenous expression, but resist the undoing of conventional hierarchies that maintain hegemonic equilibrium. Are Universities that open spaces for Indigenous knowledges and the place-based blending - and bending - of metaphysical and physical realities leading a paradigm change in ecological consciousness? Can Indigenous scholars and Indigenous communities be represented in academic locations in ways that redirect the goals and purposes of research and knowledge production? This writing is a reflection on emerging, and ongoing, questions of Indigenous advance in academic spaces.
يعتبرالحفاظ على البيئة المرتبط ارتباطا وثيقا بالنظام البيئي الداعم للحياة ، يعتبر من القضايا العالمية والدولية الهامة والحيوية في القرنين العشرين والحادي والعشرين. تعتبر الدراسات الخاصة في البيئة ...والتحول المناخي واحدة من أهم الدراسات الحالية التي تتحدى التلوث و السريع للبيئة والحياة البرية. ف هذه الدراسة الى البحث في الرؤية الإيكولوجية الحيوية للشاعرة كاثلين جيمي (1962-) التي تعكسها من خلال كتاباتها الشعرية والنثرية التي تتكلم عن اهمية التغير البيئي وارتباطه بشكل مباشر مع الانسان وعلاقته مع الطبيعة. لا تصبو الدراسة فقط الى نشر الوعي البيئي من خلال مناقشة اشعار مختارة لجيمي، وليس فقط لإعادة اكتشاف قيمة العالم الطبيعي ، ولكن تهدف أيضًا للتأكيد على أن الطبيعة هي شكل آخر من أشكال النفس البشرية، هي كيان ثمين بحد ذاته مرتبط ارتباطا وثيقا بالبشرية، ومن دونه يعيش النسان في عزلة عن النفس. وهذا ماتحاول كشفه جيمي في اشعارها، وهو أن عيش واختبار الترابط الفعلي ما بين الانسان والطبيعية القائم على اساس الايمان باهمية البيئة والحد من دمارها، سيجعل من الفرد المعاصر فردا منتميا للارض وللعالم الطبيعي ، انتماءا يتعدى الانتماءات الوطنية والثقافية النمطية المعروفة، بل سيكون مواطنا للطبيعة.
One of the global and crucial concerns of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries is the ecological preservation of the life-supporting system of the earth. It is considered one of the most important current studies that challenge the rapid degradation of the environment and wildlife. The purpose of this paper is to explore Kathleen Jamie’s (1962) vital ecological vision that she conveys through her ecopoetry and some of her nonfiction writings, arguing that developing ecological consciousness is crucial not merely to rediscover the value of natural world but also to realize that it is another form the human self. The paper also argues that ecological degradation as revealed by Jamie's ecopoetry paradoxically stands as the very reason that would foster the ecology of mind to observe the natural world as a valuable entity in itself. Jamie’s literary output extends to generate citizens of the natural world, a world that is based on comprehending the interconnectedness and interdependence between people and their physical landscape. Otherwise, the contemporary individual would be inclined to live in self-isolation. To examine Jamie’s portrayal of the relationship between man and his environment, ecocriticism is employed as an interdisciplinary approach that emerged in the 1980s to interrogate man’s patterns of relationships with nature, questioning the common notions of belonging and dwelling. In so doing, ecopoetry is demonstrated as essential in cultivating a new canon of nature poetry that promotes a maneuver beyond the politics of place and the limitation of nationhood. Jamie is a prominent contemporary Scottish poet who endeavors not only to promote ecological consciousness but also to advocate a breakdown of all the barriers between the human and non-human world, man's individual 'I' and the assumed 'Otherness' of nature. It is the construction of a new poetic and ecological mode towards an ecology of encounter, a path towards empathy between man and nature that would render the former more human and the latter more natural.
This article reflects on the process, challenges, and opportunities of conducting a graduate‐level class in environmental philosophy for Catholic priests who were seminary formators in the time of ...pandemic in the Philippines. The final output of the course is a participatory action research project. I developed an engaged pedagogical framework, which draws from the works of Jennifer Ayres that incorporated theological, philosophical, and ecological principles in teaching and facilitating students' research. The development of the tenets, the flourishing of all, right relations, and praxis began from a deep engagement with my students whose influence in the religious and cultural lives of the Filipinos could add to the flourishing of ecological consciousness of the Catholic community in the Philippines.
Functions and role of the epistemological optimism, its place in the modern disciplined inquiry are considered in view of ecological safety problems. The impact it produces on the process of building ...up a contemporary scientific view of the ecological stability on our planet is also described. Basic concepts of the environmental stability and safety are presented. They are considered as the theoretical basis for this research. The work objective is to draw attention to issues of the ecological safety of the planet. The ecological safety problems set the task of looking for new, unconventional ways of the science development which will allow the society create protection techniques against global catastrophes. The pressing challenge of the fundamental and philosophical knowledge unity leading to new comprehension of the current world crisis situations is studied. Some prospects of the fundamental and philosophical knowledge interpenetration are considered. The judgement on its great potentiality in the management of global processes including crisis ones is made.
While ecotourism has many positive attributes, perhaps the most interesting is its potential to foster transformations in ecological consciousness that some view as vital to achieving more ...sustainable human-environmental relationships. Frequently, indigenous peoples and their cultures have been associated with ecotourism because of the 'strong bond between indigenous cultures and the natural environment' Zeppel, H. (2006). Indigenous ecotourism: Sustainable development and management. Wallingford, UK: CABI.. In fact, there are numerous examples from around the world of indigenous communities using the opportunity that ecotourism provides to educate non-indigenous people about indigenous values and lifeways in the hopes of overturning the destructive nature of the Western environmental paradigm. This article offers a critical perspective on the capacity of indigenous ecotourism to foster more sustainable lifeways by transforming the ecological consciousness of participants and stakeholders in ecotourism. This is timely as non-indigenous academic Fennell (2008). Ecotourism and the myth of indigenous stewardship. Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 16(2), 129-149 has recently presented a controversial analysis of the 'myth of indigenous stewardship'. This paper focuses on the writings of indigenous experts to explore these complex issues. In addition to this conceptual analysis, this article offers a brief case study of Camp Coorong in South Australia, which demonstrates that some indigenous communities are using ecotourism to teach indigenous values in the hope of fostering transformations in consciousness.
Despite unprecedented global environmental changes with widespread health effects, and rapid advances in nursing knowledge and education, the concept of environment within the discipline remains ...restricted. Environmental health continues to be marginalized in nursing education and practice, with nurses struggling to get beyond the slogans to arrive at practical applications. Framed by ecohealth and radical ecopsychology theory (concerned with nature connection, individual wellness, and social/earth justice), this study employed an online survey (
= 40) with thematic content analysis. The study explored factors that influenced eco-consciousness, how it affected nursing work, and how it was integrated into practice The 40 participants from 3 Canadian provinces included 32 nurses employed in education and clinical practice and 8 student nurses. Three main themes emerged: awakening consciousness, challenges in the discipline and profession, and finding opportunities. In particular, the students expressed a need for early integration of environmental health teaching into curriculum. Results illustrate an ongoing knowledge-practice gap and highlight the frustration and dismay of nurses whose efforts remain marginalized. Motivations and opportunities for nurses to undertake an expanded role in adopting environmental health as central to the discipline and practice of nursing can and must be more intently harnessed. As curricular approaches are expanded, further inquiry is proposed into the role of both early experiences and nursing education to transform the response to the ecological crises of our times.
Ecological discourse, as object of ecolinguistics and cultural discourse studies, has far-reaching implications for fostering human beings' ecological consciousness. However, European ecological ...discourse is inapt for promoting ecological consciousness due to its roots in critical discourse, Eurocentralization and Cartesianism. This paper aims to pursue a Confucian-Daoist inquiry to Chinese ecological discourse concerning its Confucian-Daoist dimensions in Chinese discursive, cultural and philosophical traditions. This Confucian-Daoist inquiry can be conducted in three parts: a conceptual inquiry into Chinese ecological discourse, a comparative inquiry into Sino-European ecological discourses and a constructive inquiry into a harmonious discourse based on harmosophy. This approach has an important twofold role: first, it can offer profound discursive and spiritual recourses for fostering ecological consciousness in addressing the global ecological crisis. Second, and more importantly, it can help European ecological discourse transcend the negative influences from its roots, which may underplay its role in ecological consciousness. By so doing, an intercultural dialogue for a harmonious world can arise for mutually dealing with ecological problems.
