Social Experience

Social Experience Key Points:

  • “A social issue is that people in developing countries and low-income communities are more likely to experience issues with food insecurity and the impacts of climate change firsthand. 
  • Currently it's estimated that there's a technological difference gap of about 25 years between first world countries and developing countries and with global climate change looming above all that is quickly becoming a reality for everyone. We can only imagine that this divide is going to increase further and slow the already lagging advancement. 
  • The only way that we can move forward to an equal and Sustainable Global Society by 2100 is by bridging the development gap that we have between developing and developed countries. 
  • It is up to the engineers of today to find the solutions for the problems of tomorrow. 
  • We see an equitable world with equal gender pay no matter what sector you're in and an equitable distribution of the world resources and technologies.  This may appear idealistic. 
  • The changes needed to achieve a sustainable, equitable and prosperous society on a global level brings a complexity that is almost unimaginable. Global society will be challenged to make these changes.   
  • It is not logical to expect the same rates of change from country to country. People living in the developing world have not had access to the “cheap” carbon-emitting resources that helped advance the developed world.  Scarce renewable resources, technologies and processes will require support and leadership from developed countries to assist developing countries achieve their growth aspirations.  Therefore, it will be necessary to create equitable, interconnected   global supply chains to support sustainable circular economies and in doing so allow for a better world.”
