SOSC3043 M – Comparative Perspectives on Social Exclusion and Business
ANSWER
Title: Exploring the Intersection of Environmental Pollution and Racial Social Exclusion
- Introduction Social exclusion, a multifaceted phenomenon, is a critical issue that has garnered increasing attention in recent years. This research paper delves into the intersection of environmental pollution and racial social exclusion, shedding light on a less explored aspect of social exclusion within the framework of Comparative Perspectives on Social Exclusion and Business. This paper argues that marginalized racial groups are disproportionately affected by environmental pollution, contributing to their social exclusion.
- Historical Evolution of Environmental Racism To understand the roots of environmental racism, it is essential to explore the historical context. This section will draw on Galabuzi’s work on Canada’s economic apartheid to provide historical context to racial social exclusion and environmental issues.
- The Environmental Injustice in Highly Polluted Communities of Color This section will analyze the work of Robert and Shirley, which examines linkages between race, environmental concern, health, and justice in highly polluted communities of color. It will demonstrate how these communities bear a disproportionate burden of environmental pollution, leading to social exclusion.
- Environmental Pollution as a Barrier to Healthcare Access Environmental pollution’s adverse health effects create a barrier to healthcare access. This section will discuss research by Paula Braveman and Kitching et al., highlighting the healthcare disparities experienced by racialized communities due to environmental factors.
- Intersection of Race, Environment, and Socioeconomic Status Building on the argument, this section will explore the complex interplay between race, environmental pollution, and socioeconomic status. It will examine how marginalized communities face a double burden of social exclusion due to both racial and environmental factors.
- Policy Implications and Remedies To address these issues, it is crucial to consider policy implications. This section will discuss potential policy measures and community-based initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects of environmental racism and fostering social inclusion.
- Conclusion In conclusion, this paper underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of social exclusion, particularly in the context of environmental pollution and its disproportionate impact on racialized communities. By acknowledging this intersection, policymakers, researchers, and activists can work together to address environmental racism and promote social justice and inclusion.
