If an essay is asked on Environmental Management what exactly do we have to include in our essay?

 

[bmn]

Whatever the question asked, with reference to aspects included in the syllabus.

 

[gabgab]

they'll probably ask something to do with the consequences of focusing on environmental management if they do.

so like, the negative effects the government experiences by making the enviro its main priority.

 

[Sam91]

what thats weird? so we talk about opportunity cost and stuff? will they expect us to know ETS in depth? and all the policies ?

 

[gabgab]

uhm, possibly the objectives of economic policy, cuz they involve recent issues and changes to them.

so like;
- Eco growth
- full employment
- price stability
- external stability
- income and wealth distribution
- and enviro management

and then the conflicts...

and the current stance.

because its relevant to Aus,,

im only guessing though.


damn BOS have thrown lots of spanners in many works this year, so why not be all nit picky and ask specific annoying questions in eco?

sigh.

When looking at Environmental Management, I always find it useful to refer back to the policies that the government has established.

These are the following dot points under the syllabus for EM:

• ecologically sustainable development

• private and social costs and benefits - market failure

• public and private goods - free riders

• issues:

- preservation of natural environments
- pollution control
- externalities
- depletion of renewable and non-renewable resources

For each of those dot points, I suggest you describe what they encompass and then IF it asks for an explanation go into greater depth WITH reference to policies. It should help strengthen your argument. Also make sure you're familiar with the economic models with also show how EM works in theory (if in an extended response).

In most cases though, the BoS hasn't set a question which specifically asks you to discuss ONLY about EM. I believe in one question, it asked for something along the lines of the relationship between globalisation (in your case study) and environmental management. Consequently, always make sure you reflect back upon what the question is asking when you go through the above points.
