This article analyzes a study on the
motivations and other factors that lead to corporations and peoples responses
to the ever so present ecological detriment. There was data collected from 53
firms in the United Kingdom and Japan and analytically reviewed. The three main
motivations that they found were competitiveness, legitimation, and ecological
responsibility. They also found that there were things that influenced these
motivations and what led to them, they were: field cohesion, issue salience,
and individual concern. The article seeks to understand cooperate decisions and
what led to the responsiveness to each.

This article by Brown studies closely the influence the
government has on technological studies. It has a very liberal cast of the
government and how the decisions they make influences the society and embeds
meaning of policy design on vehicle technology within society. A key argument
is California’s Air Resources Board decision in 1996 that revised the electric
vehicle program. The government controls everything, which then is embedded
into our society though the media.

All industrialized countries have a problem with air
pollution. This article speaks of the political bills of California and France
that they have been trying to implement since the 1990’s. They both have chosen
to try and improve air quality by technological innovation, electric cars being
one. California went as far as forcing the approach of “zero emission
technologies.” Oil and car industries actively refused, but it has helped the
formation hybrid and electric cars. Then goes as far as of how the developments
have impacted our environment and humans.

This article focuses on how the natural resources of America
have helped to translate a message to politics on climate change in our
country. It also includes socially constructed resources that are now available
to us, such as electric cars that can positively affect our nations climate and
our decision-making to solving the problems. Society input is crucial to
understanding national problems and how to fix them, and in order to solve our
problems Fisher recommends studying the link of our readily available natural
resources and social processes to create political decisions.

Now days all of the public is encouraged to go
green in all aspects of life. The media report all different ways to be
efficient and save energy, and this article shows how all citizens are being
advised to be 'green' and recycle household and garden waste. It also shows how
the NHS is lagging far behind. According to law all clinical waste has to be disposed of in a safe
way, and a lot of 'domestic' waste could be recycled and save trusts. It shows
some of the hospitals in the U.S have adopted this strategy.
