Sociopolitical Solutions

This week of class I have realized how complex our society is with coming to an agreement.  I have looked at how natural sciences approach issues as well as social scientists and even the differences within these disciplines.  It is interesting to see the different areas of emphasis or places that different scientists find more important than others.  As I am getting further along in my undergraduate career I am realizing I have a different focus and take on some issues than my peers in another majors have.  When investigating the policy document I found it so interesting how vague some areas were with the brackets of word choice.  I would be interested to see how the policy negotiation plays out and if even individual words could cause some problems on agreeing on implementation.  I am starting to see the difficulties in trying to translate natural science ideas as well as social science views into policy for everyone, especially a universally binding agreement.  Even within fields there is disagreeing among focuses that makes it more difficult to come to agreements.  With all the wordings I saw in the policy packet I got a look at how important it is to get everyone on board with the issues at hand and how even a one word can change the way some people look at the document and it’s meaning.  My group looked a lot at how a lot of the document had plans as to how to makes changes but was much less clear on what needed to be changed.
