Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories
This Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive. Providing analysis of core concepts, and with real-world relevance, this book should be of interest to disaster scholars and researchers, those working in ethics and political philosophy, as well as policy makers, humanitarian actors and intergovernmental organizations..
Fate
Ryan is nine years old when he first meets Steph in an encounter that binds them together in ways they can’t yet understand and that renders them inseparable. On top of having to navigate the turbulent world of adolescence, Ryan also has to contend with his sisters and their mother, who share a kind of sixth sense that baffles as well as helps him. A ghostly presence from Steph’s past further complicates their world. The two share a long-running correspondence through which they document the natural – and supernatural – elements of growing up. Blending elements of romance, adventure, and the paranormal, Fate plays tricks of poor timing and misunderstandings on its protagonists and their families and begs the question, are we ever really in control of our own destinies?
