Focus
This paper focuses particular attention on the problem of “ecologic racism” from the point of view of discrimination, inequality, and infringement of the rights of the “oppressed” category of society. This study is devoted to the holistic disclosure of environmental inequality’s essence, nature, and features. Moreover, the authors of the study emphasize studying the consequences of the impact of this situation on certain citizens, as well as ways to combat and cope with such issues.
Angle of Approach
Significant shifts in the perception of a particular category of citizens, as well as several social and political events, gave rise to this research topic – “The problem of environmental racism.” Recently, activists and scientists have outlined a highly negative trend of pollution and waste disposal in the territory inhabited by black, colored, and poor classes of society (Wright et al., 2021). Unfortunately, many “victims” have to put up with such illegal and egregious actions, which the Government does not want to pay attention to. An insufficient amount of relevant information about the problem, adequate elaboration and disclosure of the topic, and significant changes in the dynamics of the development of science revealed the need to write this work.
Research Questions
The questions to which it is necessary to give a clear, unambiguous, and objective answer are expressed in the following form. First, it is required to determine the causal relationship that led to the actual problem and identify factors that directly influenced the formation and development of environmental inequality. Secondly, it is recommended to assess the consequences of the impact of environmental injustice on minority representatives. Thirdly, emphasis should be placed on the search and selection of methods, methods, tactics, and strategies for the comprehensive, systematic, and consistent eradication of such mistreatment.
