It reveals how indigenous people have constructed narratives around plants, often anthropomorphizing them or treating them as passive objects. The plant humanities explore the relationship between human societies and the plant world. This emerging field draws insights from indigenous and scholarly traditions. The purpose of this study is to appraise plant humanities of the native centric ecology. Using philosophical analysis, this interdisciplinary inquiry has moral implications such as the anthropocentric narratives of the complex web, plant personhood, and many others. Despite the challenges,plant humanities contribute to a deeper understanding of biodiversity, indigenous life, and sustainable coexistence between humans and plants. This study concludes that vegetal humanities of the native centric ecology is a philosophy of interconnectedness between humans and plants that recognize the intrinsic value of plant life to foster sustainable coexistence in the environment.

This medical breakthrough is challenge with non-availability of organs for candidates on the waiting list, for organ recovery and transplant. Organ farming is the scientific method of using animals, such as pig, as an incubator in which to cultivate healthy genetically human organs. Such farming could to close the widening gap between the supply and demand for organs. This subject, however, entails ethical debate over the moral justification and the permissibility of organ farming. This paper will argue from a consequentiality standpoint that, if organ farming should turn out to be good for the greatest number of persons, then it should permitted to avert organ crisis and help to reduce the high death rate among candidates on the waiting list for organ recovery

Ongoing , necessary medical research involving animal subjects will be defended from a Utilitarian standpoint. Animal experimentation can be conducted in such a way that injury and suffering to the animal subjects can be minimized. Clinical studies have been necessary for the eradication of many diseases, such as smallpox and polio and promise similar results for other medical conditions in the future. The ethical and emotional demands placed upon the experimenter during clinical trials, as well as the suffering of the animal subjects, presents us with an ethical dilemma concerning the moral justification of animal experimentation for clinical studies. Get rid of this; philosophers use critical methods. This paper will argue that inflexible ethical absolutism is too restrictive to proffer solutions in significant areas of conflict and that Joseph Fletcher's "Situation Ethics" be the primary moral guide for animal experimentation.

This has generated debate from legal, social, and ethical perspectives, for and against the prohibition of sex selection for social reason in Nigeria. Adopting a critical experimental method, the paper argues that the criminalization of social sex selection is a negation of the sociological jurisprudence in the formation of laws that guides the social actions of the Nigerian people.

African history and culture may not continue to be view through the lens of another culture. Africans could liberate themselves from Eurocentric dislocations by spirited adoption of Afroncentric-education, method and it curriculum. This research adopts the method of hermeneutics and the data were sourced from primary and secondary literature, obtained from libraries and internet. Finally, Afrocentric education is an ideology that has no prejudice over non-African perspectives on reality. Rather, it integrates with other perspectives while affirming African identity.
