Synopsis How Economic Environment Influences Social Change by : Johnny Ch Lok

In my discussion concerns that environmental damage has not only created obstacles to economic development, but it is also posing great threats to human health and life, to ecological systems and natural world, and to the socio-cultural environments in which human beings lead their daily lives. Hence, I suggest that different countries' governments need to concern mobilization of political risk and socio-economic resources. The concept of "sustainability" was formulated as a result of the linkage between pesticide use and widespread pollution, of the effects of pollution on the health of humans and other animals and plants, and through proposal for managing resources in a way which doesn't destroy supplies of resources needed in the future. A country is considered "developing" when it is experiencing expansion of its productive capacity, the indicator is used, such as gross national product (GNP), and/or GNP per capita. The well being of all people depends largely on economic growth. However, when a country, such as developing countries Hong Kong and India both countries which populations are increasing, indeed it is difficult to imagine development without economic growth. As a result, however, nature has been scarified in the name of economic development. The pursuit of wealth and exploitation of the planet had taken place on an individualistic basic or collectivist basic, environment problems are began to cause increasing concern in growing segments of societies, mainly in the developed countries, such as India and China.We emphasizes quality of life, but the bio centric view, gives greater recognition to the planet, regarding the pursuit of wealth through industrial expansion and economic growth as incompatible with the earth's resource base. This view also takes the position that economic growth at the expense of natural represents consumption of what belongs rightly to future generations. However, becomes human kind is seen to be living within ecological constraints, economies will have zero growth in quantitative terms. Instead growth should be measured in qualitative terms, such as clean and healthy natural environment level, in other words, on the basis of quality of living rather than standard of living. Quantitative growth may occur only in certain areas, for example, in developing countries, such as China or India and poor areas of developed countries, such as USA, but there must also be negative growth in areas which are already highly developed.In General, the economy growth is always the attention focal point to every country. The economy growth impacts the protecting environment, on the contrary, the protecting environment also impacts the economy growth whether the environment is a factor considering the economic growth.

Synopsis U.S. Health in International Perspective by : National Research Council

The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

Synopsis Economic Environment Factor Influences Consumption Behavioral Changes by : Johnny Ch Lok

How living economic environment influences our daily livingIn the future, when our economic environment causes to change suddenly variable significantly, it can also influence our living environment changes, then it will also influences our living behaviors change in order to choose to earn the most large benefits in effect. I shall our daily some living cases to explain why it has relationship between our living environment and our living economy and our living behaviors.The first living changing case, I shall indicate how living economic environment influences students' learning behaviors and social employable behaviors change both.When one country's students have much pressure to learn and there are many students need to enter schools to learn, but the country has less schools to supply to them to learn. Then, this living economic environment changing factor, e.g. there are many parents need to go to work, but they have no enough money to support their adult age students, e.g. 20 years university students to let them have enough money to continue to enrol universities to learn. IN this less universites supplying number and many poor families living economic environment both factors, it will cause many students feel pressure to enrol any one univeristy, if every year, there has about 100,000 number secondary school students at least, they prepare to pass examination to enrol any one university to study in the country. But, every university has only100 to 200 secondary students who have enrol to any one univeristy successfully. However, the country has only two universities are existence. So, it has possible that there are 98,600 to 98,800 secondary students, they can not enrol to any one university to study in the country every year. These secondary only choose to find jobs to do.But, their educational level is low, they will feel find jobs to do in difficulty. If the country's jobs supplying number is less. For example, in the year, there are only 80,000 secondary level jobs to be supplied to these secondary level students to do. Hence, in the year, this country will have 18,600 to 18,800 secondary students who can notfind any jobs to work, even they will lose jobs ( unemployment) in the whole year in possible.So in living economic view, this low jobs supplying environment and the low university number graduation and many secondary schools students unemployment factor will only cause this society's economic environment to be more poor, because when it have many secondary students who can not find any jobs to do easily, then they do easy to do stealing, fighting etc. crime behaviors to influence the society's living safety to it living people every day. It is due to this country lacks enough universities to provide to these secondary students to learn as well as they must feel more pressure to examinatoin, due to the univeristy enrolling demand must be raised, e.g. five A grades at minmum. They need to earn in order to enrol to any one univeristy to learn. Even, although some secondary students, they can enrol to any one university to study, but many their parents are poor families and they can not continue to them to enrol any one private university to study, I suppose this country has none any government universities existence. So, these private universities are only for the rich families whose children can enrol to learn successfully. I will let many poor students who feel unfair because they have the best examination result to enrol to any one of these two univeristy to study, but because their parents have no enough money to support them to enrol to either one of these two universities to study. So, they will also need to attempt to find low education level jobs to do in society.

Synopsis Rationalizing Rural Area Classifications for the Economic Research Service by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA/ERS) maintains four highly related but distinct geographic classification systems to designate areas by the degree to which they are rural. The original urban-rural code scheme was developed by the ERS in the 1970s. Rural America today is very different from the rural America of 1970 described in the first rural classification report. At that time migration to cities and poverty among the people left behind was a central concern. The more rural a residence, the more likely a person was to live in poverty, and this relationship held true regardless of age or race. Since the 1970s the interstate highway system was completed and broadband was developed. Services have become more consolidated into larger centers. Some of the traditional rural industries, farming and mining, have prospered, and there has been rural amenity-based in-migration. Many major structural and economic changes have occurred during this period. These factors have resulted in a quite different rural economy and society since 1970. In April 2015, the Committee on National Statistics convened a workshop to explore the data, estimation, and policy issues for rationalizing the multiple classifications of rural areas currently in use by the Economic Research Service (ERS). Participants aimed to help ERS make decisions regarding the generation of a county rural-urban scale for public use, taking into consideration the changed social and economic environment. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Synopsis Social Change and the Global Environment by : Lynn Shields & Leslie Armstrong

Over the last two decades radical transformations have been taking place in the social and economic systems. Through the process of globalization increased opportunities exist for some but disenfranchisement and social dislocations for the great majority are also increasing. Globalization has produced tension between traditional bases of livelihood and emerging export-oriented commercial production of non-traditional items. And finally, globalization has contributed a great deal in deepening the distinction between 'work' and 'leisure', and defining the contours of leisure's activities. Providing a number of empirical and historical studies of leisure from different cultures, this will be of immense book to the students of social sciences and humanities. It is useful for all those students, social scientists and policy-makers who are interested in analyzing social change in the light of this unstoppable process of globalization.

Synopsis The Systems Work of Social Change by : Cynthia Rayner

The issues of poverty, inequality, racial injustice, and climate change have never been more pressing or paralyzing. Current approaches to social change, which rely on linear thinking and traditional power dynamics to 'solve' social problems, are not helping. In fact, they may only beentrenching the status quo.Systemic social challenges produce bewildering results when we try to solve them due to their complexity, scale, and depth. While strategies to tackle complexity and scale have received significant attention and investment, challenges that arise from deeply-held beliefs, values, and assumptions thatno longer serve us well have been largely overlooked. This book draws on stories of committed social changemakers to uncover a set of principles and practices for social change that dramatically depart from the industrial approach. Rather than delivering solutions or being lured by grander visionsof 'systems change', these principles and practices focus on the process of change itself. Simple yet profound, these stories distil a timely set of lessons for leaders, scholars, and policymakers on how connection, context, and power sit at the heart of the change process, ensuring broader agencyfor people and communities while building social systems that are responsive in a rapidly-changing world.
