1. Flint water Crisis, I once lived in Flint, MI and wanted to know how bad it really was.
The Crisis started in April 2014 with the decision to switch the city’s water from a contract with Detroit water from Lake Huron, to the local Flint River. The only reason why for the switch was to save money. The switch, approved by Darnell Earley, Flint’s state-appointed emergency manager, was supposed to be a short switch because Flint was going to use a new pipe line that was connected to Lake Huron.
2. All of politics had something to say about this issue, but I wouldn't stop there. This issue had many social institutions involved i.e. family, education and economy.
3. Health concerns i.e. Blood Lead Levels (BLL) where extremely high. The city …show more content…
class action lawsuits to the state and city.
Congressional ramification: many people were fired or step down from their political chair in the city and state.
April 2016, Michigan attorney general Bill Schuette announced criminal charges against two state officials and one city official in connection with the crisis. In June, he filed a civil suit against two companies accused of allowing the water crisis to “occur, continue, and worsen.” (Flint Water Crisis 2017).
5. Conflict Theory, the city of Flint where under multiple financial emergency which lead to cutbacks and short-cuts to get the city back on its feet. This only made more of a conflict because the water contract was terminated and the government was trying to hide it every step of the …show more content…
I do believe conflict theory best describes this social issue because the basic competing issue of saving money was the problem. The city was broke and had multiple finance advisors who all agreed in switching back to Detroit water would of rise the city bill by millions a year.
7. Consequences are hair loss, rashes, stomach pain, state officials being fired, multiple law suites against the state, between 2014 and 2015 12 people have died from the water crisis according to CNN.com
In December 2016 the US Congress passed legislation that provides $170 million to Flint and other communities suffering from lead-contaminated water. According to the Detroit Free Press
8. Postmodern because of history over two millenniums ago, 95% of Rome left due to the lack of leadership. Just as Flint during the water crisis people begin to pack up and leave. The city of Flint went through finiancial mangers more then four times. The communication wasn’t good enough and history kept repeating its self with the city having to issue water boil emergency over and over again.
9. Conclusion: One thing doesn’t happen because of one force, it’s a buildup of multiple issues that lead to good or bad in one’s social life. I do believe that on an everyday basis, multiple theoretical paradigm takes place, its never just
