Our new theme is the environment.
The environment is provides the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the resources we need to survive. Some ways you can choose to interpret this theme could be to understand how political frameworks examine the laws, policies, and power structures that shape environmental protection or exploitation, such as climate regulations or resource management. Economic frameworks could focus on how markets, incentives, and consumption affect the environment, highlighting issues like sustainability, externalities, and inequality. Philosophical frameworks explore ethical questions about humanity’s responsibility to nature, including ideas like environmental justice and whether nature has intrinsic value beyond human use. We are looking forward to see what you guys come up with!
