The literature on the epistemology of ignorance already discusses how certain forms of discrimination, such as racism and sexism, are perpetuated by the ignorance of individuals and groups. However, little attention has been given to how speciesism-a form of discrimination on the basis of species membership-is sustained through ignorance Of the few animal ethicists who explicitly discuss ignorance, none have related this concept to speciesism as a form of discrimination. However, it is crucial to explore this connection, I argue, as ignorance is both an integral part of the injustice done to animals as well as an obstacle to improving their treatment.

We begin both by introducing a nuanced account of conscience that is grounded in moral psychology and by providing an overview of discriminatory and non-discriminatory forms of objection.

Objective: This integrative review aimed to identify the common characteristics of moral distress in nursing and distinguish it from other types of distress by examining nurses' perspectives in the literature. These insights will help update existing tools and create new ones to capture moral distress better, guiding the development and implementation of strategies to support nurses in addressing this challenge.
Methods: Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review method was employed to guide a systematic search for literature in three databases (EBSCO Medline, CINAHL, and PubMed).
