Question Description

I’m stuck on a Psychology question and need an explanation.

The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed.

—William Gibson, “The Science in Science Fiction,” Talk of the Nation

The creative use of economic and social forces to address equity and fairness in the dissemination of resources across cultures and communities is increasingly becoming a focus of social change efforts. In preparation for this Discussion, consider how economics and entrepreneurship might be effectively employed as tools of social change in the service of an issue or cause that is important to you. With those considerations in mind, select an action or entrepreneurial idea that might address an issue of economic equity and fairness within a specific community.

By Day 3

Post by Day 3 a description of at least one action or entrepreneurial idea that might positively impact a specific community’s economy. Briefly explain why this community has a need for social change and how this action might address equity and fairness across cultures and communities. Provide a brief analysis of any ethical implications or concerns related to this suggestion.
