Ecological Sustainability- People of this framework emphasize ecological principles, arguing for the importance in environmental policy that preserves ecosystems and helps maintain a location's biodiversity.
Ethnic Identity- Depending on a person's upbringing and what groups they choose to associate themselves with, these influences will guide their decision making environmental decision from race, religion, political identification.
Fact Oriented- When deciding where an individual holds their position in an environmental policy, they will take into consideration and assess all knowledge that is available looking for points of views that are based on merit.
Growth Economic Oriented- Concerned how environmental policies will affect revenue to the economy, this framework centers around being in favor of profits for businesses and using resources available from ecosystems.
Conflict Negotiation- People from this framework analyse all parties involved in environmental policy decisions pinpointing in what it is that each side wants from each other, and aims for a fair compromise that all parties walk away from happily.
Reasoning: For ecological sustainability I feel much of rhetoric and themes about climate change and how we combat these changes are centered around sustainability long term. By prioritizing the long term health of ecosystems these laws protect companies from extracting resources and allow ecosystems to bounce back. Keeping regulatory laws in place habitats are allowed to keep a healthy balance of biodiversity, whereas if a company were to be stripping resources of that location the animals and plants would be stressed and in many cases die out in that particular area.
I believe very much the background of how a person was raised affects the moral guidelines and code shows up in how their environmental decisions. Ethnic identity shows how a person chooses to identify themselves to others and who they associate with. Such values instilled from when people were children such as religion, political alignment, and income help guide a person's decision making and what they choose to value. This is why it is very important to look at who a person chooses to be around and where they come from as these experiences guide a person. These experiences will even show up in environmental policy as do they find that important? And from what lens to they think about it from.
Fact Oriented- Sometimes people understand that there is a lot of knowledge that we do not know about certain topics. These people look at issues from a more logical point of view based on solid statistics to back any stance up. This framework aims to cut out opinions or personal bias and root itself in simple truths. This is personally very important as this is the point of scientists who research effects of climate change and the solutions that are being made to combat the warming of earth.
Growth Economic Oriented is a framework that I felt was important as with our new president elect. Trump views environmental policies from the framework of a businessman making him in favor of financial profits and using the resources available at America's disposal. While not all businesses, most businesses are looking out for profits and how to stay ahead, that is why many companies lobby for deregulation to make their businesses more efficient and profitable.
Conflict Negotiation is an important element of environmental policy. Environmental regulations and change are rarely not tied to politics. With so many government officials involved in making environmental regulations, all sides must be heard when debating and creating laws. Thus is why negotiation is as impactful as it is, for all parties to be satisfied there has to be a compromise that all sides are happy with. These production talks cannot happen if there is no ambassador or group aiming for satisfying resolutions on all sides.
