“Land art,” an art using the environment to make an artistic point, is consistently debated for its ethics. Many of its artworks are about the relationship between humans and the natural environment, including the harm we often do to our planet. While many deem this form of art as a necessary evil, others believe that the harm to the environment caused by land art cannot be justified by the intention to spread awareness to a cause, however laudable. Some infamous instances include surrounding islands with floating fabric, and wrapping trees in plastic. These works have not only sparked ethical debates but ecological and legal ones as well.

近年來,以真實犯罪為題材(Based on true crime)的媒體,無論是(regardless of)播客還是影片形式,其人氣飆升(be (all) the rage)的現象已經不再是什麼秘密。這個題材廣為流行,不僅僅是因為其娛樂性(entertaining),還因為這一類型的作品可能解決懸案(unsolved case)、讓久被忽視的案件重新曝光(Bringing long-ignored cases to light again)、並教育觀眾如何避免和預防(prevent)自己身陷悲慘的情境(in a miserable situation)。此外,許多人被真實犯罪媒體吸引,是因為它揭示了大多數人一生當中都不會經歷的黑暗人性(Dark Humanity)。然而,犯罪現場的細節該披露到什麼程度,以及在創作真實犯罪內容時是否獲得了倖存者(survivor)和家屬的同意,這些都引發了倫理上的顧慮(Raising ethical concerns)。
