...CONSTITUTION AND ENVIROMENTAL LAW Environmental protection has found a special mention in the Indian constitution. The preamble to the Constitution provides that our country is based on socialistic pattern of society. The basic aim of socialism is to provide a decent standard of living to all, which can be possible only in a pollution free environment. Also, in a democratic republic, people have the right to know and access information on government policies which is very important for the success of environmental policies. The starting point of environmental protection is the fundamental rights and directive principles of state policy which underline our national commitment to protect and improve the environment. The interpretation given to article 21 of the Constitution contained in the Fundamental Rights has added new dimensions to the quality of life and its relating effect on the environment. The Constitution of India as originally enacted did not contain any specific provision to deal with environmental pollution though Article 47 made an indirect reference to improvement of public health as one of the primary duties of the state. Article 51 (c) provides that the state shall endeavour to foster respect for international law and treaty obligations in the dealings of organised peoples with one and another. Article 253 of the Constitution specifically empowers parliament to make any law for the whole or part of india for implementing any treaty, agreement or convention...

...Enviromental Law There are many differences between corporate law and environmental law; however, the similarities that exist are numerous as well. Although the environmental and business world are constantly changing due to advances in technology, law ethic, and human rights issues, the world of law changes and develops just as quickly to govern the two ever changing types of law. Although changes are made to corporate and environmental law somewhat often, the differences and similarities are always easily seen. To begin with, lawyers interpret the law through actions and words for the protection of an individual, a business, concern, or an idea. They must be highly educated in several important areas: the law, economics, history, human motivation and behavior, and the practicalities of day to day living. The education of lawyers never ends because they must constantly be informed of important information, which may be of use to the client. Their education is also considered never to end because of the fact that the law is always changing and evolving. Environmental law is one of the newest entries in the legal world. Environmental law requires a concern for the nation's resources, knowledge of where the resources are, what they are used for, how and why they may be endangered, damaged, or exploited. Environmental law also requires a concern for those whose job it is to protect them (Vig 120). Environmental lawyers may work alone or in a group. Environmental lawyers...

...The Theory of the Leisure Class proposes that economic life is driven by the vestiges of the social stratification of tribal society, rather than by social and economic utility. The supporting examples, contemporary and anthropologic, propose that many economic behaviors of contemporary society (c. late 19th century) are variants of the corresponding tribal-society behaviors, when men and women practiced the division of labor according to the person's status group, thus, the high-status people practiced hunting and war, whilst the low-status people practiced farming, cooking, et cetera. Such a division of labor was due to the barbarian culture of conquest, domination, and exploitation, wherein, once in control, the conquerors assigned the labor-intensive jobs to the vanquished people, and, for themselves, assumed the military profession, and other less labor-intensive work, the elementary leisure class. In practice, it was sociologically unimportant that the low-status occupations provided greater economic support to society than did the high-status jobs of soldier, hunter, etc. Moreover, within an unconquered tribe, certain men and women disregarded the collective division-of-labor system, and emulated the behavior of the leisure class, the high-status social group of the tribe. Although the leisure class did perform some useful work, and so contributed to the collective well-being of the tribe, such work tended to be minor and peripheral, functioning more as symbolic economic...

...Running head: ENVIROMENTAL SCIENCE Environmental Science Star Heard ENV/100 July 14, 2012 Professor Restrepo Environmental Science When I hear Environmental Science I think of how science plays a role in the environment but the proper definition is Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines information from many disciplines, such as biology, geography, chemistry, geology, physics, economics, sociology (particularly demography, the study of populations), cultural anthropology, natural resource management, agriculture, engineering, law, politics, and ethics Berg and Hager (2009). Environmental Science is all about understanding the environment, how it works and how to protect it in the future. Science and technology has affected the environment for the good and bad. One thing that has been good for the environment is hybrid cars because it cuts out the toxins that other vehicles give off which is a whole lot better for the environment. Environmental sustainability is very important because we need to know the changes the environment goes and make changes where need be. I feel like this should be studied because the world is changing everyday and it is an important to know what’s going on. Air pollution is getting worse and by having somebody studying this they can find a solution and help improve air pollution. Mankind impact on Earth has really affected the way the world is today, this wasn’t internal but sometimes with technology there is a positive...

...Environmental Concerns Technology is an ever-changing entity. As soon as a company goes through the time and expense of upgrading their hardware and technology, new technology emerges in the industry. With all of the new and emerging technology, the concern of what to do with the old technology and how to dispose the old so that the company can install and use the new technology. One of the biggest concerns when recycling old hardware is the effects that the recycling process will have on the environment. With this becoming a bigger concern every year, old computer hardware has become commonly known as electronic waste or e-waste. We are a world driven by the new and the shiny. With new technology always on the cusp of being developed, consumers always have something new to look forward to and purchase. One of the first concerns of computers was the amount of electricity that the machines needed to consume in order to make them work. Many do not think about the amount of carbon that is produced through the electricity that is consumed during the use of the system. Carbon being released into the air can be harmful when considering the composition of the air that we breathe. The next concern is the chemicals that are used in the composition of the computer and its components. Computers contain metals such as arsenic, lead, and mercury that are hazardous to those who are exposed for long periods. If these chemicals are not disposed of properly they can seep into the...

...• Analyze the influence of global economic interdependence and the effect of trade practices and agreements. The global economic interdependence for corporate Toyota is very important in order to increase revenue sales by focusing on both purchasing vehicle parts and materials from specific countries and as well as in increasing market share in each region in where they do business. Toyota must also consider the targeting of specific groups and classes of people within a country because those groups may be dependent on the success of Toyota. The effect of trade practices and agreements play a major role in Toyota’s strategies and operations within the boundaries of countries. For instance, Toyota must consider different trade barriers, and agreements when pricing and developing marketing strategies for China compared to India compared to the United States. To address the recent quality issues and safety concerns Toyota established a Special Committee for Global Quality which had to be further separated into Regional Quality Task Force divisions for North America, Europe, China, Japan, and more (Toyota, 2010). • Examine the importance of demographics and physical infrastructure. The demographics and physical infrastructure of a country participate largely in the makeup of the magnetism to Toyota and the decision of how to structure the company’s presence and open manufacturing plants. Toyota has the ability to create jobs in a developed country where manufacturing infrastructure...

...What is Environmental Psychology? Lara Spalding PSY460 October 3, 2011 Dr. Simone Senhouse What is Environmental Psychology? Environmental psychologist focus on how the environment affects one psychologically as far as behavior and social reactions. “Environment” was defined as the physical (rather than social) context, including both natural and built components.” (Clayton & Myers, 2009, p.6) Some people become anxious and nervous during storms and some relax during storms. Whenever the seasons change some become ill with allergies and sinuses as other feel better in different seasons. One may experience fear when thinking of a major drought in different parts of the world and others do not have this fear as he or she is not dealing with drought issues in his or her area. Environmental psychology focuses on how the environment affects different ones in different environmental issues. “Environmental psychology is a specialty within psychology that studies the reciprocal influences of people and their environments, characterized by both systematic theory and a concern for practical application.” (Clayton & Myers, 2009, p. 209) Discipline of Environmental Psychology Psychologist discipline in environmental psychology is not only to research but also to have an understanding of human behavior and promote human welfare while in research, studies, and treatment (Clayton & Myers, 2009). “Psychology is one of the core disciplines that contribute to the broad set...

...Assess the claim that secular approaches to environmental issues are of more use than religious approaches (35) When looking at the Maldives and other quickly diminishing countries, coupled with raising temperatures and huge variations in extreme weather across the world, it is clear that environmental ethics must be taken very seriously. But there have been a number of ethical approaches towards the environment trying to tackle and provide moral guidelines on how to treat and use the earth. During the course of this essay I will attempt to outline a few of the main secular and religious approaches to environmental issues and then through evaluation come up with a conclusion on which I feel is the best to follow. To make a good environmental theory, the ethical approach must provide moral guidelines for governments, big businesses and individuals alike. One secular theory, which tries to achieve this, is Conservationism. The conservationist theory aims to look at the value of that the environment has to humans and how looking after it and using it will affect us. The conservationist approach takes a shallow ecology approach, which believes that the earth has instrumental value. This means that if lowering the carbon emissions to protect the Maldives will benefit human life then a conservationist approach will argue that this is a good thing to do. The conservationist approach can be closely linked to Bentham’s hedonistic approach to Utilitarianism, sharing the ‘ if its...

...Since 1980s, the environmental matter as trade barriers between the North and the South countries has feature prominently in the world international forums Developing countries that struggles to improve their economies and attract more investors to enhance their economies is term as pollution haven. The word pollution haven as proposed by Zarsky (1997, 1999) is a claimed that the South have reduced and relaxed their environmental regulation to attract foreign investors. The southern countries which are endowed with lots of natural resources has long been staying under poverty and the only way to be out of this situation is opening up their economies and speed up industrialization development through the foreign investors. On the other hand, the North countries business feared that if the developing countries lower cost of operation through labour intensive and resources then they stand a chance to lose value or capture the market. The developed countries argued that they have more severe and effective regulations on environmental (Duchin et al., 1995, Xu, 2000) compare to the developing countres, but the World Trade Organization has protected the exported products from developing countries. The North claims that this is unfair business and they requested global environmental standard to form level playing field (Chudnovsky and Lopez 1999; Xu 2000). This claim however was seen as another form of trade barriers by the developing countres. The environmental problems such as...

...Environmental Health Student’s Name University Affiliation Environmental Health Define food desert and present some reasons why food desert exist. A food desert is a demographic area of any country whereby there is a shortage of fruits, greens among other healthy foods and this is mainly the case in many poor and developing countries. This describes an area where the obtaining of nutritious food is very difficult for people living in the area especially with the lack of automobile to enable them to move around in search of these foods. Food deserts are mainly attributed to some major factors such as the absence of food providers who produce or sell healthy food, absence of stores that sell groceries as well as bad conditions for farming and the lack of a market for farmers (Babu, Gajanan & Sanyal 2014). This problem is mainly but not solely associated with individuals that live in rural and remote areas because they lack means of transport to bring food to them or move around to get the food. This case is very rare in the urban areas mainly due to the presence of so many means of transport. However, this does not mean that urban areas are not affected. The main cause of the few cases of food deserts in the urban areas is economic conditions whereby the grocery stores are evicted out of the urban areas and thus taking they further away from the people. According to research in the United States, the problem is mostly prevalent among the black communities since...
