| | Ethical consumerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alternatively, the decision may be the application of criteria reflective of a morality (or, in the terminology of ethics, a theory of value) to an individual, family, union, or other group's (corporation, university, government) purchasing decisions. | | | Alternative terms for this are Ethical purchasing, moral purchasing or ethical sourcing. | | | Often, moral criteria are part of a much broader shift away from commodity markets towards a deeper service economy where all activities, from growing to harvesting to processing to delivery, are considered part of the value chain and for which consumers are "responsible". |

| | * Chasing - (Numismatic): Definition |
| | Typically all three types of laws must also be changed to implement any program of moral purchasing, fair trade, safe trade, or any tying of money supply to methods of measuring well-being... | | | This drove down the value of money, reduced the purchasing power of the traditional coinage (the penny and groat) and forced up the cost of services and supplies... | | | They will then use this knowledge to their advantage, usually by purchasing coins at normal prices that they can sell later for modest or even substantial profits... |

| | The purchaser becomes a member of a community-based team whose joint purpose is to maintain or improve the health of the community as a whole. | | | Thus, it may only require that 10-15% of purchasers in some health care markets become morally conscious purchasers for the Just Caring-Purchasing approach to be widely disseminated; the remaining 85%-90% of the purchasers will become moral free-riders, who will over time come to expect moral outcomes as a normal feature of their health care purchasing. | | | The essential feature of this approach is that the purchasers of health services demand from health care providers that the care they purchase produce moral outcomes, in addition to quality of care and acceptable cost. |

| | These critics often argue that stricter standards of moral purchasing, especially for governments, are of more use than attempts at measuring intangible 'well-being' across the whole population. | | | Both sides agreed that some standards of moral purchasing should apply, but differed sharply on which products, and which impacts, mattered. | | | See also: economic growth, political economy, measuring well-being, moral purchasing, money supply, welfare economics, human development theory, ecological economics |

| | Who Pays the Price for Motherhood? |
| | Paying for services like pregnancy and birthing through insurance leads to the twin problems of adverse selection (those who purchase the insurance are those most likely to be planning a pregnancy) and moral hazard (purchasing insurance increases, at the margin, the likelihood a pregnancy will occur). | | | Self-insurance, however, is typically more costly and less efficient than purchasing insurance from companies that specialize in providing it. | | | If provided at all, group health insurance must be purchased for everyone in the group; all employees are eligible by law. |

| | Pharmaceutical companies claim that lowering the price will not generate enough profits, and cannot be justified given these drugs' high development costs. | | | The patents, enforced worldwide by the World Trade Organization, bar the cheap generic manufacture of these medications, and third world countries often lack the economic resources to purchase expensive brand-name drugs from their American and European manufacturers. |

| | Therefore, there exists a strong moral obligation on health care providers and facilities in Canada to support breast-feeding. | | | Hospitals accepting money and/or free formula run the risk of: 1) violating basic values of the health system by not providing the best care available - indeed of possibly causing relative harm, and 2) being "penny wise and pound foolish" looking after short term financial interests instead of long term fiscal responsibility. | | | Accordingly, the goal of all health care activity is to protect/advance the well-being of those in our care. |

| | Moral relativism - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary |
| | Moral universalism is a humanist neologism that exhorts the use of logical and universally-common ethical standards, which together may form a philosophical alternative to both static absolutism and murky relativism. | | | A moral relativist, on the other hand, would hold that even people in such a circumstance do not follow a common moral code, but are simply unable to follow their varying personal urges due to social pressure. | | | Moral relativism refers to a view that claims moral standards are not absolute or universal, but rather emerge from social customs and other sources. |

| | Experience economy - Simple English Wikipedia |
| | In moral purchasing, Natural Capitalism and other theories of how consumers make choices, they are actually choosing experiences or comprehensive outcomes of their choices. | | | For instance to buy local is to choose a whole experience of local suppliers, such as in a farmers market or Slow Food, that is quite different than the experience associated with factory food or fast food. |
