Ethical Issues In Social Justice

Global Warming is a major world problem that we have but people don’t seem to realize that and it may end all life on earth as we know it. We are causing many problems to the earth that we don’t realize what we are doing we may think everything is ok but it’s not. Global warming is all our fault and we need to stop!

Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isn’t the only environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world,

When I polled a few of my friends about “what is the single most critical problem facing us today?” I got a frequent response that’s not so shocking, climate change. So why climate change? Why not obesity, or population control, or education? While all of those are problems that deserve discussion, no single topic is so fundamental to us as humans as climate change. In 2007 Al Gore stated in his person of the year interview that “Today we 're dumping 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. Until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, I will feel that I have failed.” (Walsh) Perhaps the paradigm has changed. Climate change is now talked about at every level of government, in large and small businesses, and communities across the globe. It’s a topic that functions to affect our economy and our environment. Moving forward, it’s important to understand why our way of life will be affected by the way we tackle these issues surrounding climate change. Climate change is the single most important issue affecting the human race today due to its widespread impact on our survival; impacting food sources, transportation, weather, geography and other life forms on the earth.

Undoubtedly, health care is a social justice issue, because it is the product of unequal distribution of wealth and health care resources. Associatively, Barusch (2015) claims that in the United States, “the distribution of health care makes life itself a social justice issue and survival becomes a function of privilege, as class, race, and gender influence the risk of becoming ill and the likelihood of receiving appropriate treatment” (p.193). In my opinion, there are many reasons health care should be addressed as a social justice issue; 1) poor health is often the product of the “deprivations of severe poverty”, 2) without legislation, disease of epidemic proportions will go unreported due to their economic impact, 3) physician incentive plans jeopardize patient care, 4) the lack of pharmaceutical company regulations, limit the availability of affordable treatments (generics), . . .

My beliefs upon global warming is that it is a very serious matter that should not be taken lightly. I chose global warming as the topic of my research paper to raise awareness of the deadly effects that the Earth’s warming can cause. Many people go about their day not realizing how much energy they are omitting and how much of that energy contributes to the growth of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It should be the duty of every individual to recognize their involvement in the Earth’s warming and what they can do to reduce it. I personally believe that the Earth provides for living organisms but it should not be taken for granted. With many years of drilling for fossil fuels and polluting the Earth I believe it is well overdue

The Global Warming is one of the biggest issues of our time. Most people don't care or think that one person can make the difference. These people, including my self, continue their life like waiting for the problems to fix themselves. Scientists have said that in a few years many parts of our planet would be lost due to the big amount of water. If it continues like this there is going to be a time where lands would be extincted.

Climate change. It has been on all of our minds as more and more controversy and panic are induced by new data being collected all the time. The very thought of it as the truth begins to fade into the foreground is enough to make many people sick. As this problem begins to take political forefronts, the question is, what are we going to do about it? Fortunately, public opinion and political concern as it has in the past and still does, has motivated individuals and even entire nations to take action against the upcoming threat. However, not all individuals are open to the truth of the existence and significance of climate change.

In conclusion, there are many different social justice issues that the American society, along with societies across the world, need to enlighten themselves about to become more knowledgeable about and learn how these issues can be solved. From racism, to women’s rights, to homosexuality and homophobia, problems still preside across the United States whether or not they affect you personally or are covered by the news on a daily or weekly basis. These social justice issues can only be solved if the community as a whole educates themselves of these issues and commits towards an effort to eliminate the problems. Solutions like these not only apply in the United States, but across the world; especially on the topic of poverty, and how first world

The fundamental pillars for such mess are too many, and the reason to that forced to choose Global Warming as a complexity its because it affects all countries and humanity. A complexity that isn’t trivial at all, in fact, I think it’s one the hardest issues to be handled thoughout history. In addition, the reason for addressing this is because the vicious implications that will reflect on us both in the short and long-term. Some of the implications would be, climate change, rising in sea levels, extreme weather, shortage of food and water, extinction of species and animals, famine, starvations, diseases and many other gigantic negative effects (Report, 2007). Thus, there must be an action to be done in order to stop this issue. Some of the possible solutions that might help to face Global Warming

Teresa Feldhausen’s article about global warming focused on the various opinions or beliefs people form based on where they reside in the world. The excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans, as well as other threats to the environment, has been studied by scientists for many years. Large numbers of people, however, are either unaware of the issue or simply do not agree with the scientific evidence. Everyone in the world does not have access to education and technology, which leaves many societies at a disadvantage and prevents them from staying up to date on global concerns.

Elizabeth Kolbert’s Field Notes from a Catastrophe was my first in-depth look into climate change, global warming, and the contribution of humans to these things. Global warming was something I vaguely knew about before reading this book, but it never really caught my attention or seemed like a major issue in the world. After reading Field Notes from a Catastrophe, I realized that it is in fact a major issue that must be addressed by every community. In this essay I will argue that it is our job as the human race to do all that we can to take care of our planet and reduce the amount of global warming that humans are responsible for. This essay is significant because this is our world.

This article critically examines the ways in which individuals could help reduce the impacts of global warming. The author challenges that every individual could significantly minimise the effects of global warming by adopting to a more responsible lifestyle.

Many people simply don’t believe global warming is a serious problem. The president, Donald Trump, even has mixed feelings on the topic. In 2012, he made a comment that he fears global warming was made up to negatively impact United States manufacturing. However, he has since said he is open-minded on the issue and will look into it. Global warming is not simply an American problem but a global issue, and something must indeed be done. The rising temperatures have already caused numerous negative effects on the environment, but the temperatures could potentially cause negative effects on the human population as

In recent years, the controversial subject of global warming has been more predominantly brought to our attention. Is the threat of global warming real? Is it man-made or is this just a natural cycle of earth? Does it really affect earth’s inhabitants? Should action be taken against it? If so, what kind and to what extent? It cannot be only a coincidence that the alarmingly rapid climate change coincides perfectly with the increased amount of pollutants that humans release into the environment. The once stable climate has in recent years begun to skyrocket, thus altering the delicate structure of earthly life. This proves to be hazardous to the future of the planet; some people worry that many of the resources the environment provides that

Climate change otherwise known as global warming has been an ongoing issue for decades. Beginning in the 19th century, climate change has increasingly affected Earth and its atmosphere. Rising levels of carbon dioxide are warming the Earth’s atmosphere, causing rising sea-levels, melting snow and ice, extreme fires and droughts, and intense rainfall and floods. Climate change has and will continue to affect food production, availability of water, and can add to many health risks in humans and animals. In fact, in an article by Justin Gillis titled, “Scientists Warn of Perilous Climate Shift Within Decades, Not Centuries” he focuses on a paper written by a former NASA climate scientist, James E. Hansen, explaining the effects of climate change on Earth today. Although many believe Hansen’s theories in the paper are quite far-fetched, the author mentions, “Despite any reservations they might have about the new paper, virtually all climate scientists agree with Dr. Hansen’s group that society is not moving fast enough to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, posing grave risks” (Gillis). Gillis validates the fact that climate change has been rapidly expanding throughout Earth and society has not been able to reduce it fast enough. Many negative risks are being posed and will continue to mount if the issue of climate change is not taken seriously. Although climate change negatively affects nearly all aspects of Earth, it poses a big
