The study’s objective is to identify factors that can have a productive and positive impact on the formation of environmental culture. The authors use an interdisciplinary approach in the study. Thus, the methods of system analysis (methods of integration, convergence, structurization, optimization, etc.) focus on a comprehensive study of contemporary problems of ecological culture. Applying the methodology of legal taxonomy allows outlining the basic principles contributing to the level of ecological culture. Among the special methods, the method of ecologization is of particular importance in the study. The results of the study were the identification of a complex of factors. There are positive and negative factors among them. Negative factors are due to the lack of environmental values in people’s minds, the state’s perception of environmental relations as insignificant or secondary in the life of society, the rejection of innovative concepts of ecologization of economic activity, etc. Positive factors include the effectiveness of the principles of environmental law, the development of a system of environmental education of citizens, education of environmental responsibility, the collective search for adequate solutions to address the growing environmental risks, etc. The novelty of the work lies in the statement of the problem, which is that the formation of environmental culture is of paramount importance for sustainable development and environmental security of states and the entire world community.
The paper raises ethical and social problems of biolaw, consideration of which is necessary to improve its principles and norms. The authors are convinced that biolaw is designed to take into account both the advantages and problematic aspects associated with the impact of new technologies on the human body that can change a person as a physical individual and, accordingly, transform society and humanity as a whole. The paper touches upon two key aspects of biolaw: the development of biorights or rights related to the human body in the system of rights of a new generation and the definition of principles of biolaw that ensure the unity of legal and ethical-social regulators in biotechnology. One of the important conclusions is that, although human biorights and the principles of biolaw are interrelated institutions, in the system of legal regulation they have features of content and action. Having identified the need to develop a new approach to understanding the principles of biolaw, the authors emphasize the need to create a theory of biolaw taxonomy or biotaxonomy, within which special importance should be given to the principles of biolaw as a dogmatic and sustainable means of legal regulation that form a systemic relationship with the principles of bioethics, constituting a single, dialectically interrelated homological series. Thus, the paper gives an opportunity to think about the development of the theory of biopraw and the prospects for its development in the paradigm of interaction with ethical and other social regulators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
