Society

Society is the BIGGEST reason for global warming and climate change. As a result of a depletion in natural resources, people are fighting over minerals and land causing conflict or wars between countries. Population growth will put pressure on non-renewable resources which can cause a serious threat to global peace.

The following are some examples of society.

​

• Civility. Civility is respect for people and the established agreements of society. 

• Norms. Norms are shared expectations for behaviour. 

• Laws & Regulations. 

• Rights & Freedoms.

• Family. 

• Culture. 

• Politics. 

• Accountability. 

​​

Societies are formed of our social groupings at varied levels, from small towns, through countries, to broader cultural groupings such as a Western society. Within such societies people tend to form particular cultures, formed of the ideas, customs, and social behaviours that make one society different or stand out from another.

​

Sustainability is important to our society for many reasons including: Environmental Quality – In order to have healthy communities, we need clean air, natural resources, and a nontoxic environment to live and breathe in.

Sustainable development gives an approach to making better decisions on the issues that affect all of our lives. By including health plans into the planning of new communities, for instance, we can ensure that we have easy access to healthcare and leisure facilities.
