Social Life Cycle Assessment

Prior mentioned, socioeconomic statuses play a role in determining our societal circumstances, but they also play a role in determining our environmental risk indicators. Since those with higher socioeconomic status are more privy to preparing and coping with a natural disaster; they can evacuate readily and have more means to deal with the aftermath, e.g., society might shun the environment, but we still have flood/earthquake-insurance (Mavhura & Collins 2016). While those who have a lower socioeconomic status are more affected by hazards because they do not have the means to cope appropriately. On top of that their infrastructure tends to be less resilient than those with higher socioeconomic status. Thus examining the placement of those who have a lower socioeconomic status is especially crucial to understanding risk assessment of a potential hazard.

The final ethical dilemma refers to the fact that the Salton Sea issue only directly impacts a small portion of the human population. To truly address all of the ethical dilemmas listed, the people managing this issue have to be guided by concepts and rationales that look beyond the needs of corporations and the wealthy and seek to fix issues so that they do not disproportionately impact non-human animals and oppressed groups. Within the article, the author talks about how the Salton Sea issue impacts the local birds as well as the human population. As the water continues to disappear, the pelicans and grebes have less fish to eat. If the fish disappear, the migrating birds would have almost nothing to eat.

This topic can be highly controversial at times, and seemingly easy answers are often more complex than people think. Greed and incentive: both have a purpose in the workplace, though they are far more similar than they sometimes seem. Greed is the lust for more than you have, for far more than one could need. Incentive is the motivation one has to complete a task, a reason to finish regardless of whether they 're enjoying themselves or not. Greed and incentive are similar in that they both motivate people to better themselves.

Another reason so many industrial jobs have left the most developed nations is because of the environmental regulations their governments have imposed. In order to protect the environment, strict limitations are placed on pollution and waste. A consequence of these restrictions is that the companies that employ people send the jobs to countries where the environmental standards are much less stringent. Thus, although the environment is better served by the laws against environmental degradation, the economies of those nations suffer. And although jobs come to the less developed nations, boosting the economies there, the environment suffers because the restrictions against pollution are less strict.

There are two main courses in which populace issues can be connected to environmental change. Both Migration (lessening the gasses that cause environmental change) and minimization of the use of greenhouse gasses (diminishing powerlessness to the unfriendly impacts of environmental change) play an important role in the minimization of future global populations. Very few environmental specialists do not connect the rapid populace growth with negative and increasing impacts to climate change. However, the direct connection between population growth and climate change alleviation is more controversial. Saying that 'individuals cause environmental change ' is used by many in order to remind the public that this is a man made environmental

Context 2 Social Contextual Research Ontological design, in a social context, is the creating or the designing of a product, system or structure that affects the way in which people within that area communicate with one another. This is done by creating a relationship between the design and the end consumers. These end consumers then, in turn, affect the types of social interactions that take place within that space. The purpose of this type of design is to create meaningful and civil conversations amongst people. These type of design mostly have a Human Rights focus, such as access to education, food and shelter.

Although “The Problem With Overpopulation” might be outdated it has many statistics and claims that don 't change over time and coincide with the information found in Everything Connects and other sources. Overpopulation is an issue, that although doesn 't have a lot of attention, that does result in lower living standards in developing countries, scarcity of natural resources and high crime

715) Hearn further discusses that linking poverty and neglect would have political and social implications that make it difficult to address and that acknowledging that poverty and neglect are “intertwined” would create the need for “an intervention that would require a great deal of cost and a shift in ideology of many of those in positions to change policy and the way the system works with poor families.” (Hearn, 2011, pg. 716) Instead of focusing on the link between poverty and neglect often the cause of neglect is associated with other underlying issues, such as substance abuse or mental abuse. (Hearn, 2011, pg. 716) Hearn is not saying that these “issues are not fundamentally related to child neglect” (2011, pg. 716) but instead is concerned that they “may draw attention away from underlying factors (such as poverty) that also need to be addressed.” (2011, pg.

Prominent researchers such as Coleman, Burt, Lin, Bourdieu and Putman developed this theory in the early 1990s (Fine 2008:1). The term social capital can be traced back to the theory of social science where the term is defined as resources people provided one another to solve problems on the basis of mutual assistance and trust-based social relationship. It encompasses the resources people might have within a community or an organization based on the specific relationships people holds with others: the knowledge people have that can instrumentalise through the relationships with others: and the knowledge and information, which are embedded within social networks, such as those within and amongst families and mutual acquaintances (Bourdieu

It is difficult to know however, how such an analysis might be translated into practical social policies. This is because the Hart program would appear to require in the first place a radical restructuring of the economic system. Whilst this may be desirable for some, it is not achievable in the present political climate. Hart is right however, to suggest that much marital conflict can be linked in some way to the economic circumstances of families. This is borne out in many statistical surveys which show consistently that rates of divorce are higher among socially disadvantaged families (McDonald, 1993).
