Christina Parrish SCS-200 5/12/22 For this project I am going to choose Climate change. The climate changing is due to human beings and their behaviors. Basically, climate change is happening because there is an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. The CO2 creates a type of blanket that keeps the heat from escaping our atmosphere and forces the heat to increase all around the earth thus changing the climates around the world. As the world grows hotter the Ice shelves melt, the sea level increases, coral reefs are dying, hurricanes are growing more violent, wildfires are spreading and becoming more frequent, more rain is falling causing rapid floods, and there are so many other effects. This is fixable if humans change what they do, and how they do it. This issue is significant because if we don’t stop climate change where it is, it could kill the entire earth, thus wiping out the human population. We need to raise awareness to the serious issue of climate change to hopefully save the world and our species along with many other. Politics have been unsuccessful thus far in forming a widespread realization because they have not focused on social scientists to help see further into climate change to the root of the issue, human behaviors that are behind it. By studying the way humans react to certain situations social sciences can help determine how to better spread the plea to help change the climate for the better. Recently the ICPP has brought in more social scientists to try to help push the issues and find fixes by studying human behaviors and the human drive force behind it.
The principles that apply to my social science issue are social institutions, social roles, and social norms. Social institutions apply to climate change by the way of education and government. We need more education about climate change and how to stop it in order to be more effective in saving the world. We also need the help of the governments around the world to get behind educating people and putting in place prevention measures. Social roles apply to climate change because we essentially need to change the social norms of society. Over the last few hundred years taking care of the earth is something that comes last on most of everyone’s mind, if at all. In order to make it a habit we need to change the social norms around the world. Social roles apply to climate change because we need to make roles common in preventing climate change for people to follow. By incorporating social roles into society that pertain specifically to climate change prevention I feel like it would become a wider spread habit among everyone. By doing this it would help kick start incorporating climate change routines into being part of a social norm. A few questions that social scientists would be interested in researching further would be: what are the consumption patterns that drive climate change? What are the biggest contributing factors of the human behavior that effects climate change? how does the economy growth effect climate change?
