I am a little bit late to post about my book session. Because I was having a problem with my laptop. so today I am here to talk about my topic. I joined the book session on the land topics. we discussed the land according to the topic. this topic was very helpful for us because we related it to ethics. initially, when I studied the article I did not think that it is going to be related to ethics. but now I understand that we can relate anything to ethics.
Leopold did not define the land ethic with a litany of rights and wrongs in A Sand County Almanac. Instead, he presented it as a set of values that naturally grew out of his lifetime of experiences in the outdoors. Leopold wrote that “we can only be ethical in relation to something we can see, understand, feel, love, or otherwise have faith in.”

Hi Mahinder,
I read your blog article and followed the link provided in the blog post. I read the article attached with the link, and it seemed excellent to me because it was based on our obligation to use the land ethically. However, I discovered a few grammatical errors in the blog article, making it appear a little unprofessional.
For example, “I am a little bit late to post about my book session. Because I was having a problem with my laptop.”
The first statement ends with a full stop without explaining why you were late, but the second phrase begins with the word “because”, which reveals why you were late in writing your blog post. “The word “because” is a conjunction that means that for the reason that” (2021, september 10 ). It must, however, represent a whole idea to be a complete sentence. It would be more attractive if you could link the first two lines to form a whole sentence.
As I continued through the blog article, I saw that the second paragraph lacked in-text citations. It is critical to provide credit to individuals whose work we are copying; else, plagiarism will be penalised.
Ok let’s take your second paragraph which I am going to rewrite with text citations.
A land ethic broadens the idea of community to include not just humans, but also all other living things on the planet: soils, waterways, plants, and animals, or the land. According to Leopold, “ Land ethics is a set of values that naturally grew out of his lifetime of experiences in the outdoors” ( 2020, June 1). Humans can only be ethical in relation to something we can see, understand, experience, love, or believe in. Scholars in a wide range of academic areas, from philosophy to conservation biology, have discussed Leopold’s land ethic concept for decades. According to Jennifer Kobylecky, “Leopold explains what a land ethic is, but he doesn’t define the specific rights and wrongs that should govern our relationship to land” ( 2018, September 14). The next paragraph is the closest he comes to expressing a clear set of norms or standards that help us assess what behaviours are good and what actions are bad.
