About This Topic

Environmental issues sit at the intersection of science, policy, economics, and ethics, making them a frequent subject of study across disciplines including political science, environmental studies, business, law, and the humanities. The topic covers a broad range of concerns — from emissions and global warming to nuclear power, pollution, and natural resource management — and carries academic weight because the consequences of environmental decisions affect current and future generations alike. Courses in environmental economics, environmental law, and politics regularly assign essays on these subjects because they demand students think critically about tradeoffs between development and sustainability.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a wide variety of approaches. Historical analyses examine how environmental awareness and policy evolved from the 1990s onward, while political essays explore how Democrats and Republicans have shaped environmental issues since 1965. Other papers take an industry-specific angle, focusing on sectors like air transport, or apply risk management frameworks to environmental problems. Legal and comparative approaches appear as well, including critical comparisons of pollution law effectiveness. Some writers engage ethical or values-based perspectives, such as Christian views on preserving the environment, while others work through economic concepts like externalities, private costs, and social costs.

A strong essay on environmental issues begins with a focused, arguable thesis rather than a broad survey of problems. Evidence drawn from policy records, economic data, legal analysis, or documented environmental effects tends to carry the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating "the environment" as a single unified subject — strong essays narrow their scope to a specific issue, time period, industry, or policy debate and develop that argument with depth and precision.

Corporate social responsibility concepts and practices

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has recently reached an unprecedented level of salience with the emergence of global protests that seem to be driven in a large part by concerns over social issues such as equality as wells as environmental issues such as the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Although the protestors are occupying various parts of the world for a plethora of mixed motivations, it is reasonable to speculate that much of these individual motivations are embodied in the concept of CSR. CSR may actually prove to be the last hope for the future of capitalism.

Engineering ethics principles and practice

The tension between business and ethics—such as that robustly illustrated by the Ford Pinto debacle—fits extraordinarily well with the consideration of vehicular technology, the use of which may pose safety hazards for drivers and others in the vicinity of preoccupied drivers. The question then begs: where does the responsibility for safety belong—with the consumer who is in the driver's seat, the manufacturer who will quite obviously have mixed motivations, or with the government that will need to balance cost with benefit. Or perhaps the responsibility ultimately goes to watchdog groups and consumers demand—through legislative process—that human lives are not well matched to economic cost-benefit analysis made from a particularly economic frame.
