Climate change is becoming an increasingly important issue within the field of sociology. The effects of climate change can be seen in a variety of ways such as changes to our environment, increased poverty and inequality, and shifts in social norms (McMichael et al., 2015). As such, it has become necessary for sociologists to examine how global warming is impacting society on both a macro and micro level.
One way that climate change can affect society is through its potential to cause displacement or migration due to extreme weather events or sea level rise (Smith & Reuveny, 2019). This could have significant implications for individuals living in coastal areas who may be forced to relocate or suffer economic losses due to destruction caused by natural disasters. Additionally, sudden displacement can also lead to physical and mental health problems as well as increased levels of violence due to the disruption of social bonds among affected populations (Vasarhelyi et al., 2018).
Another area where climate change impacts our lives is through its effect on employment opportunities; a study by Costa et al. (2019) found that rising temperatures may result in decreased labor productivity which could lead to job losses particularly for those engaged in manual labor outdoors. Climate-related food shortages are also problem which will likely disproportionately affect lower income households given their limited access to alternative sources of nutrition (Bentley et al., 2017). Moreover, some researchers have suggested that even seemingly small increases in temperature might reduce overall wages while simultaneously increasing wage inequality between high-wage earners and low-wage workers since the latter group generally earns less per hour than the former (Feng & Kahn 2020) .
In conclusion therefore, there are numerous ways that global warming can influence various aspects of human life making it clear why sociological research on this subject is so important for understanding how we might best prepare for these upcoming challenges.
Section I: INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY Introduction The country is encountering a basic deficiency of medical care suppliers, a lack that is supposed to increment in the following five years, similarly as the biggest populace in our country’s set of experiences arrives at the age when expanded clinical consideration is vital (Pike, 2002). Staffing of emergency clinics, facilities, and nursing homes is more basic than any time in recent memory as the huge quantities of ‘gen X-ers’ start to understand the requirement for more continuous clinical mediation and long haul care. Interest in turning into a medical caretaker has disappeared lately, likely because of the historical backdrop of the extraordinary and requesting instructive cycle, low compensation, firm and extended periods of time, and fast ‘wear out’ of those rehearsing in the calling (Wharrad, 2003).
A complex oversaw care climate in this country is restricting the dollars accessible to be spent on nursing care. Numerous wellbeing callings, particularly nursing, have the standing of ‘eating their young’ as opposed to offering compelling coaching to develop future medical services suppliers. Because of these variables, the quantity of medical attendants has diminished and businesses regard themselves as understaffed and seeking able work force. Before 2001 the decay had been apparent for a considerable length of time (Sadler, 2003). Nursing schools, public pioneers, medical services pioneers and the overall population is impacted by the absence of Registered Nurses (RNs) accessible.
As the populace ages, the assumption is that a rising number of RNs will be required essentially to keep up with the ongoing degree of medical care. Furthermore, the momentum ecological and political worries of expanding pandemic sickness, event of synthetic and catastrophic events, and expanding dangers of war, requires critical expansions in the medical services labor force (Jefferys, 2001). The public nursing lack and factors that increment the interest for expanding the nursing labor force notwithstanding public, state, and nearby debacles make the potential for a general wellbeing emergency. Nursing programs have endeavored to satisfy need for medical attendants by expanding enlistment and campaigning effectively for expansions in program subsidizing by schools and states for understudies.
Tragically, the issue of nursing understudy weakening hampers the best endeavors of nursing programs and irritates the public lack of Registered Nurses in the United States (Ofori, 2002). In 2003, the National League for Nursing revealed a positive vertical pattern in the nursing labor force supply in any case, the American College of Healthcare Executives (2006) detailed that in 2005, 85% of emergency clinic directors decided medical clinics needed more enlisted medical attendants to fulfill patient consideration needs. The United States Bureau of Labor insights showed by 2014, more than 1.2 million new and substitution nursing positions would be expected to meet the public medical services needs (Ramsburg, 2007).
Various broad endeavors to diminish weakening have been made by nursing programs including reinforcing affirmation methods and executing maintenance programs. Unfortunately, the issues of weakening keep on continuing nursing schools the nation over. Admission to a nursing program is serious and numerous potential understudies are denied confirmation every semester. Steady loss from nursing programs influences not just the particular understudy who is acknowledged to a nursing program and ineffective, yet in addition the understudy denied confirmation that might have been effective. Steady loss rates are expensive to understudies, nursing projects, and medical services the same by diminishing the quantity of likely alumni from schools of nursing and adding to the nursing lack. Many examinations feature the a lot higher than wanted whittling down rates for nursing understudies
