Sumario:Part of a special section on the intersection of ideologies of violence. The writer examines the idea that professional ethics are important, but are insufficient for evoking the broader “reverence for life” needed to deal with the current social and environmental malaise.

He highlights the difficult options that poor people face when deciding between self-preservation and self-actualization.
