The classical environment theories and their usefulness in South Africa.

-Buckle states that the environment is a critical factor for nations to flourish. For example, the eastern nations flourished because of warm climates, fertile soils, rain and others. The northern nations were innovative and industrious to survive the cold, producing a large quantity of food, but the southern nations stagnated. For example, in South Africa some areas are receiving a small amount of rain whereas some receive little or no rain at all which makes it hard for the agricultural industries to produce food. The soil is unable to produce as there is no rain. Extreme heat with no rain at all also has a negative impact on the production of food which plays a huge role in SA.

Huntington established a correlation between climate and external factors and intrapersonal factors that sine of the industrial efficiency criticized subsequently resulted in a productive climate. There are many cars polluting the atmosphere and the ozone layer which leads to us not receiving rain and results to water shortages and dry rivers and dams.

According to Hosu et al.(2018)South African service is not crucial. The leadership promises society change but it takes time. The environmental issues in society are a pliability . There was a policy paper in SA for water supplies in 1994 but water shortages remain which shows inequality. The leaders are skeptical about supplying water to the rural areas; they only want the resources to themselves.
