Abstract
Sustainability
Sustainability is a societal goal that relates to the ability
of people to safely co-exist on Earth
over a long time.
Specific definitions of sustainability are difficult to agree
on and have varied with literature, context, and time.
[Sustainability is commonly described as having three
dimensions (or pillars): environmental, economic, and
social. Many publications state that the environmental
dimension is the most important.
For this reason, in everyday use, "sustainability" is often
focused on countering major environmental problems,
such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services,
land degradation, and air and water pollution. The concept of
sustainability can be used to guide decisions at the global,
national, and individual levels (e.g. sustainable living).
The vision is: Our globe lives in peace, development
The Objectives :
1-Redusing the number of inhabitants who live under
the low level of income.
2-Saving people infected with serious diseases.
3-Reducing deaths from tuberculosis.
The problem:
The problem is: We, the researching group, noticed
that our planet suffers from poverty, injustice, violence,
pollution, ignorance, intolerance, wars, terrorism,
climate changes, low incomes and illiteracy.
The reason for doing such research is that I and my

The United Nations (UN)
defines sustainability simply as
“meeting the needs of the present
without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
“I like this definition,” said Mike Weinstein,
director of
sustainability at SNHU. “It asks us to consider two things;
first, what are ‘needs?’ And secondly, what is life beyond
ourselves?”.
Human communities across the globe are able to maintain
their independence and have access to the resources that
Universal human rights and basic necessities are
Thus, the authors consider sustainability to be a paradigm
for thinking about a future in which environmental,
societal, and economic considerations are balanced in
the pursuit of development and improved quality of life.
Sustainability is a broad discipline, giving students
and graduates insights into most aspects of the human
world from business to technology to environment and
the social sciences.
The core skills with which a graduates leaves college or
university are highly sought after, especially in a modern
world looking to drastically reduce carbon emissions and
discover and develop the technologies of the future.
Sustainability draws on politics, economics and,
philosophy and other social sciences as well as the
hard sciences.
Sustainability skills and
environmental awareness is a
priority in many corporate jobs at graduate level and over
as businesses seek to adhere to new legislation.
Therefore, Sustainability graduates will go into many
fields but most
commonly civic planning, environmental
consultancy (built and natural
environment), agriculture,
not for profit, corporate strategies, health
assessment
and planning, and even into law and decision making.
Entry-level jobs are growing and over the coming years,
bachelors graduates can expect more and more options
and opportunities.
Why sustainability?
The motivations behind sustainability are often complex,
personal and diverse. It is unrealistic to create a list of
reasons why so many individuals, groups and
communities are working towards this goal. Yet,
for most people, sustainability comes down to
the kind of future we are leaving for the next generation.
Sustainability as a value is shared by many individuals
and organizations who demonstrate this value in their
policies,everyday activities and behaviors. Individuals
have played a major role in developing our current
environmental and social circumstances. The people
of today along with future generations must create
solutions and adapt.
Environmental sustainability is important to preserve
resources like clean air, water and wildlife for future
generations.
Another important sustainability definition that Weinstein
likes is: “Ensuring that human society operates with
ecological borders.” This definition is known as the
planetary boundary (PB) concept. It was introduced in
2009 to define where humans can operate safely within
the environment's constraints, according to Science, an
online research organization. It’s important to understand
that humans do have boundaries, and it’s important to
understand where those
are to maintain sustainability.
Although, most of the world is very disconnected from the
basic
functioning of the planet and it’s easy to lose sight of
essential
factors, according to Weinstein. For example,
humans are members of Earth and live in the same
spaces as the rest of the living beings on the planet.
“Our current economic activity ignores these boundaries,”
Weinstein said.
The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and
describe the significance of our findings in light of
what was already known about the research
problem being investigated and to explain any
new understanding or insights that emerged as a
result of our study of the problem.
DISCUSSION provides the explanation and interpretation
of results or findings by comparing with the findings in
prior studies. Then, I can
say that: compared to the
previous study about (Education for sustainable development),
I say that my research is different . My research
recommended the following:

What Can You Do?
You can install solar panels, use an electric car, ride a bike or
use other
practices that minimize your economic footprint.
Still, these can be
costly, often more so than non-sustainable
solutions, Weinstein said.
While expense doesn’t rule out
those practices, there are other
solutions you can pursue as
well.
You can also focus on pressuring large systems to change.
Weinstein
said that SNHU has an Office of Sustainability
because SNHU President Paul LeBlanc
and the university’s
Board of Trustees and senior leadership understand
that it is
the right thing to do—and, because SNHU’s staff, faculty and
students expressed interest in a university-wide commitment.
The empirical results reported herein
should be considered in the light of some
limitations.”
1-Time constraints
Just as researchers have deadlines to turn in their
class papers, academic researchers also must meet
the deadline for submitting a research manuscript
to a journal. Therefore, the time available to study
a research problem and to measure change over
time is
constrained by the deadline of my
“assignment.”
I should have Made sure I choose a research problem
that I will be able to complete well before the
assignment’s deadline. If time constraints negatively
impacted my study in any way, acknowledge this
impact by mentioning a need for a
future study.
2-Conflicts arising from cultural bias and
other personal issues
Researchers might be biased views due to their
cultural backgrounds or perspectives of certain
phenomena, and
this can affect a study’s legitimacy.
Also, it is possible that researchers will have
biases toward data and results that only support
their hypotheses or arguments.
In order to avoid these problems, the author(s) of
a study should examine whether the way the
problem was
stated and the data-gathering
process were carried out appropriately.
