At my spot, it is assumed that people will respect nature and keep it pristine. However, this is not an ethical thought. Ethics entices one’s morals, and people do not typically treat the beach in an ethical manner. They poison the beach, with their chemical-soaked skin. They pollute the beach, with their garbage and waste. Would you poison your sister with foul chemicals? Or drown your brother in a sea of garbage? No. The beach is a mere place to go. It is not something to care about for it’s own well-being. It is a thing to be kept neat for human use.
Stories of going to the beach continue the tradition. The beach is someplace to go and spend time with friends. The beach is someplace to party. The beach does not get any respect, even though it deserves endless respect. The plants and animals that live on and by the beach are fragile, and the constant pollution ravishes their home. The beach tradition will always continue, but hopefully as time goes on, the land will become a being worth ethical attention.
