SOC 331 Week 3 DQ 2 Distributive Justice and Scarce Natural Resources


SOC 331 Week 3 DQ 2 Distributive Justice and Scarce Natural Resources


Distributive Justice and Scarce Natural Resources. In Chapter 3 of the text, the author calls attention to how struggles for scarce natural resources will pose increasingly difficult problems of distributive justice in the future, on both the local and global levels. “Case 3.4 – Fracking Friction” (in Section 3.4) explores this issue in the context of fracking for natural gas.


Suppose that the connection between fracking and adverse health effects is as yet an unproven possibility. Do individuals’ health interests outweigh the property interests of energy companies in withholding information about fracking chemicals, which they claim are trade-secrets? Why or why not?


Your initial post must, from the perspective of distributive justice, explain your response to the above questions as they relate to Case 3.4. Consider the issue from both sides (the pros and cons). Incorporate arguments that draw upon libertarian, utilitarian, and egalitarian views of distributive justice.


To help you successfully complete this discussion, review the following required resources:


a. Fracking secrets by thousands keep U.S. clueless on wells


b. Fracking: Abundant energy, but at what cost?


c. Is fracking making people sick? [Radio broadcast]


d. Fracking our food supply
