Insider trading is defined as buying or selling a company's stock using non-public, insider information that could significantly impact the stock price. It is considered unethical and illegal because it gives unfair advantage through theft of private information. While some argue it ensures accurate stock prices or does not directly harm others, critics say the information is not the insider's to use and it increases stock trading costs and reduces market liquidity, efficiency, and risk-spreading. Studies show insider trading ultimately harms all market participants and society.
La biodiversidad se define como la variabilidad de genes, especies y ecosistemas presentes en un espacio determinado. Las especies se extinguen cuando sus necesidades como el alimento, refugio y reproducción no se satisfacen en su ambiente, mientras que prosperan en hábitats ideales. El ser humano ha acelerado la pérdida de biodiversidad a través de la caza furtiva, sobrepesca, contaminación ambiental y modificación de ecosistemas, actuando en conjunto estos factores para aumentar las tasas de extinción.
