Migration00:53

Migration

8.6K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.6K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.2K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Motivational Bias01:25

Motivational Bias

276
Cognitive bias results from limitations in thinking and information processing, leading to systematic errors in judgment. Conversely, motivational bias stems from personal desires or emotions, causing distortions in perception to align with self-interest. Motivational bias influences how individuals perceive and attribute causes to events, often shaped by personal needs, goals, and self-esteem preservation. This bias can distort judgment, leading to inaccurate assessments of success, failure,...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.6K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Climate Change Studies
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Climate change and environmental degradation are increasingly recognized as drivers of human migration.
  • Millions are projected to migrate due to environmental pressures, creating complex societal challenges.
  • Existing research often overlooks the nuanced ethical dimensions of environmental migration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and describe environmental migration, moving beyond simplistic categorizations.
  • To articulate and analyze key ethical issues, specifically justice and responsibility, related to environmental migration.
  • To explore the unequal distribution of risk and contribution to environmental problems.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of environmental migration and its ethical implications.
  • Examination of justice and responsibility through the lens of structural injustice.
  • Application of Iris Marion Young's framework to understand moral responsibility in environmental migration.

Main Results:

  • Environmental migration risk is unequally distributed based on temporal, geographical, and social factors.
  • Significant disparities exist in contributions to environmental problems, with a small percentage causing a large portion of emissions.
  • These inequalities underscore profound issues of justice, as vulnerable populations often contribute least to the problem.

Conclusions:

  • Environmental migration presents complex ethical challenges, particularly concerning justice and responsibility.
  • Addressing these challenges requires understanding the structural nature of environmental injustice.
  • Further inquiry into moral responsibility is crucial for developing equitable solutions to environmental migration.
