Environmental Science in Today 's World

In a market economy , food flows in the direction on the economic demand . Need is not taken into consideration . This statement is a justification of the realities of life in today 's world . Various people have different needs , but in for this needs to be fulfilled , that person should be willing and able to acquire it . The willing part is easy to fill in , but sadly , not all of us could continue with the able part . Many of us lack the resources necessary to acquire our needs

. This is where poverty comes in - when you have the need but you don 't have the means to acquire it . Consider this situation : there are a lot of hungry children in the world today , and at the same time , there are domesticated cats that go hungry . When these cats are hungry , their owners buy them food , thus satisfying their need for food . But for the hungry children , not all of them are able to satisfy their need for food . They have the willingness to eat , but they 're not able to do so because they lack the money to buy food . They have a poor family which can 't provide their needs , unlike the hungry cats whose owners are able to buy their cat food

This is the underlying theme in Environmental Science itself , wherein environmental problems have a cultural and social context , wherein man and his society directly or indirectly affects the environment . That is why it is necessary for us to comprehend the roles of the society culture and economics in to solve these problems . These problems and interactions revolve on man , and he is the only one who can solve it . Also , human survival is said to depend on the practices of development so that it could attain sustainable systems , wherein it could support the coming generations of man , without jeopardizing his needs today . This requires proper management of common resources so that it would last for a long time . Also , conservation and development should go hand and hand with each other so that people can live their lives to the fullest , and this is the concept of sustainable development
