Question 1.
Student Answer: Environmental sociology is typically defined as the
sociological study of societal-environmental interactions,
although this definition immediately presents the problem
of integrating human cultures with the rest of the
environment. Although the focus of the field is the
relationship between society and environment in general,
environmental sociologists typically place special emphasis
on studying the social factors that cause environmental
problems, the societal impacts of those problems, and
efforts to solve the problems. In addition, considerable
attention is paid to the social processes by which certain
environmental conditions become socially defined as
problems. Although there was sometimes acrimonious
debate between the constructivist and realist "camps"
within environmental sociology in the 1990s, the two sides
have found considerable common ground as both
increasingly accept that while most environmental
problems have a material reality they nonetheless become
known only via human processes such as scientific
