Talk:Somebody else's problem/Archives/2013

Untitled

Article review: This article has an interesting breakdown and a good variety of sources and information. I am curious, however, if it would be relevant to look into this using both an anthropological and sociological viewpoint. That is, would there be any specific cultural or social circumstances that might cause people to refer to things as "Somebody Else's Problem"? And if so, what would that include? There are sections for this in psychology, in economics, and in the environment, so I don't know if it would be worth creating a whole new section for this, but it might be interesting to discuss it to some extent (if there were resources available). Otherwise, good article. MtADorey (talk) 16:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

This article has great potential. In the environment and public protection section I suggest relating some of these effects to environmental issues such as individual responsibility for environmental degradation, water pollution, overconsumption, composting etc. I would agree on having an anthropological and sociological viewpoint as well as a contrasting economic and political viewpoint. There could even be room for discussion on multinational corporations and how marketing persuades our minds in believing we need to consume more causing a bigger problem on the natural world yet we’re not taking responsibility for our excess waste. Some small fixes could be the capitalization in the titles such as In Politics and Economics rather than In politics and economics, depending on your preference.
