Miguel Huerta Anth 231 Dr. Pitchon 12/4/2016 References Goldman, Laurence R. Social Impact: An Applied Anthropology Manual. Oxford, 2000. The book for this week focused on Social Impact Analysis. Social Impact Analysis is an assessment of the social effects of projects, construction, and disaster preparedness. This was a manual that gave insight on how to conduct SIA, information that affects SIA and how various different issue affect populations. Social Impact Assessment (week 15) Social impact assessments (SIA) are used to identify the impact of projects, programs, epidemics or natural disasters. SIA are important in determining the impact these events may have on specific populations. In the world we live in there are constantly infrastructural projects, SIA are important because underrepresented communities are usually the ones greatly affected by such projects, they are the ones that suffer the most and ironically are the ones that may have virtually no voice and sometimes vaguely considered when such projects emerge. In a world where corporations and governments place the economic above the well-being of certain people it is important to have social impact assessments to assess the pros and cons …show more content…
This is a way to prevent as much negative impact that a population could experience. Since marginalized populations are the most vulnerable to big infrastructural projects and natural disaster SIA is a way to prevent as much harm as possible. One of the main responsibilities of SIA is to determine the effects of the project, whether it have a short-term or long-lasting effect on the given social group (Goldman 2000). By doing SIA this method allows for the evaluation of social impact on any given event that will allow to improve the system or issue so populations could be better prepared for what the future

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) play an essential role for sustainability establishing. As Anzecc (1991) mentioned that EIA producers would take a responsibility for issues like improving the efficiency of the contribution made by making sustainability and environmentally decision, which means the government responsible for EIA process which have the power to recommend environmental conditions.
"We need to activate people," said Thomas Allison, "Activate everyone—those who are suffering and those who are not."
Environmental Impact Assessment is very advanced process of forecasting influence on environment of planned operation, in this case- High Speed 2. It is crucial to do EIA before any construction works commence, it will allow designers to change or improve the project in order to minimise negative consequences of it.

Choosing the right pocket knife is not easy. There are different types and sizes. There are different shaped handles and blades that are made of different metals, with one of the newest type being a composite blade. We are here to help you try to decide if composite is best. We have searched and will try to explain what we discovered while searching for the best knife steel and is the Kershaw Leek composite the answer to your knife search. All you have to do is read our Kershaw Leek review.

Data obtained by assessing social vulnerability must be implemented within each phase of the emergency management process; mitigation, response, and recovery. First, to effectively respond and recover from incidents emergency management agencies must concentrate on the mitigation phase to prevent incidents from happening in the first place. This is achieved through a thorough hazard/vulnerability analysis (HVA). This type of analysis assesses the risk of physical, economic, and social vulnerability within all communities of a given jurisdiction (Lindell et al., 2006, p. 165). Additionally, the basis of the HVA allows emergency managers to effectively plan for disaster by creating pre-planned responses to disasters (rather than improvised response) and staging resources to locations with the highest probability of risk; ultimately contributing to the mitigation and response phases.
Culture is universal and inescapable. Its expressed through different beliefs and ideas. It follows someone through their ethnicity and communities. The cultural impact is inevitable and permanent. Someone’s culture has a significant impact on the way they view the world and others. This influence is communicated through the individual's upbringing, their culture, as well as their current environment. Situations are perceived differently by those with different values. The fairly full extent of one’s cultural impact is clear.

As the Marxist approach puts it, “underlying states of human marginalisation are conceived as the principle cause of disaster.” (Pelling, 2001, p. 179). This resource exclusion to particular categories of people within society creates their vulnerability to risk, and in turn disaster. McLaughlin and Dietz (2007) suggest there are three dimensions that make up vulnerability including exposure, sensitivity and resilience. An example displaying the vulnerability of lower classed social categories is in North Bihar, India, where floods have been managed through engineering works to create embankments. While the Government appears to be reducing the hazard, this has increased the vulnerability of the local people. Soil fertility has decreased reducing agricultural success, dangerous flash floods are occurring due to embankment walls collapsing and communities have settled on apparently safe embankments and are now highly exposed (Pelling, 2001). The natural flood hazard was dangerous, but these works by society have created a natural disaster (Pelling, 2001). Power inequalities have created this disastrous situation where lower classes are at high exposure to floods due to profit hungry management bodies. This technological approach is clearly failing but the Government and other managing groups make large profits off flood engineering works and have the power to decide how to control the issue (Pelling, 2001). This has resulted in creating
