Use environmental sociology theory to analyse and critically discuss society’s response to environmental problems or challenges and the notion of social justice and social resilience in this regard, with reference to the SA context.

 

Buckle’s, identified two eras in the world history to say that the environment is a critical factor for  nations to flourish. The Eastern nations grow because of their very large quantity warm climates, fertile soil, rain. The Northern nations being located to survive the cold, producing a scale of food, while the Southern nations become trapped. In South Africa there are different climate change, that result in some areas to have fertile soil, rain and produce a large scale of food and other areas have dry land making it hard to grow food, the soil unable to produce as the is no enough rain. 

Huntington established a correlation between climate and intrapersonal factors and external factors, that a productive climate result from some of the industrial efficiency which was later criticized, In South Africa the are lot of mines that pollute the air affecting our Ozone layer, leading to shortage of rain that result in water shortage in South Africa, rural not having access to clean water polluted by mines and shortage of rain to fill the rivers and dams with water. 

The environmental problems within society are resilience,  according to Hosu et al. (2018) South African service delivery is not key, the leaders are promising the society change but it takes time. In South Africa a policy documents for water suppliers were introduced in 1994, but there are still areas facing water shortage, this still shows inequality.
