The Sustainability Framework in Anthropology:Applications to Accounting Ethics

Abstract

The anthropology literature has examined sustainability within the broader context of ecological environment, and business and society. Anthropology has addressed how cultural and social forces have evolved in ecological and land ethics in accounting education and practice. The research contribution of anthropology in accounting education is that anthropology has been concerned for a long time with sustainability, ecology, environmental management, and conservation of natural resources. The purpose is to integrate ecological and land ethics to study the integration of sustainability into the accounting curriculum. When anthropology is integrated with accounting ethics, it broadens the attitudes of students and accounting professionals.
