You are one of the producers of a television reality show. The show is very popular in the country and has a wide viewership among all sections of the society and across various regions. However, a controversy has emerged wherein in the latest season of the show, a contestant from the film industry who has been accused of sexual harassment by many of his co-workers has been accepted as a participant. Several media houses have reported it and have criticized the show for giving a national platform to one of the country's most high-profile alleged perpetrators of female harassment. They term it as a denigration of those women who had bravely spoken up about their harassment. In a personal capacity, you also feel the same and are of the view that such a controversial person should not have been invited to the show. However, when you talk to other producers of the show, it is very close to the host of the show, who is an extremely popular public figure in the country.

Jomath is known as the winter abode of lord Badrinath. Tourists visit for religious pilgrimage as well as for its scenic beauty. One of 6 tehsils, it was all quiet and business as usual in the city until the last few months of 2022 when forces of nature began to push back and residents began to protest. Their homes -- and other manmade structures in the city -- started developing cracks. Upon consltations with experts, it was determined that the town sits atop ancient glacial debris, and the region is hit by a geological phenomenon known as land subsidence, which is a gradual settling, or sinking of the surface due to the removal of water, oil, natural gas, or mineral resources from the ground. Jomath was always vulnerable to earthquakes as the region falls in the seismic zone V. What made things worse is the weak foundation of the city. Every structure needs a strong foundation, but Jomath, which houses over 20,000 people, apart from the heavy tourist influx, has none. In the last several decades a boom in construction has made this region extremely vulnerable and susceptible to major land deformation. Experts blame the rapid rise in construction activities in the area to the widening of the Yatra road and National Highway 7, which runs through the town taking tourists and cargo to the holy shrine every year. The land subsidence was also triggered by an incessant spell of rain in the region in the last few years, which deposited more water on the surface. There is an increasing thrust on economic development all around the globe after the pandemic. At the same time, there is also an increasing concern about environmental degradation caused by development. Many a time, we face a direct conflict between development activity and environmental quality. It is neither feasible to stop or curtail the developmental process, nor it is advisable to keep degrading the environment, as it threatens our very survival. a) What are the ethical issues involved in the conflict between development activity and environmental quality? b) Discuss some possible strategies which could be adopted to eliminate this conflict and which could lead to sustainable development.
