Chapter 10 Summary
Chapter 10 focuses on the composition of an effective evaluation and all the aspects around it. Our
major is business sustainability, and as listed above, has many different
perspectives that make it up. Therefore, after reading the chapter on
evaluation, I cannot come to a conclusion of the evaluative process in
sustainability. There is no set process of elimination for any argument
other than you can conclude that what you've already tried will not
work. Depending on the situation or topic, it differs from problem to problem. Business
sustainability will have a completely different view than environmental
sustainability. However, this chapter provides valuable information on how evaluations play an important role in our current writing project as a whole.

The
reason I have chosen to use this ebook rather than an article more
relative to our genre is because the author's of this book provide
evidence backing what we have already concluded from an interview. In
the first chapter of this book they break up sustainability into three
main categories; Economic, social, and environmental. Each of these
provide a wide spectrum to cover when engaging a problem related
to sustainability.
The author's, after breaking it up into three parts, introduce a new
working definition of sustainability. "Sustainability refers to the
long-term maintenance of systems according to environmental, economic,
and social considerations". The chapter continues by explaining each of
the three factors more in depth. It explains how each perspective was
developed and how it is used. After each section of writing the author's
have added in a question, a question pertaining to the perspective that
was just noted, explaining a problem that you are to solve. Each
problem is accompanied by a solution for those who dont want to
challenge themselves. Although whether or not my partner and I could
answer any of these questions they have introduced us to some of the
questions sustainability majors are answering at their own jobs. Mere
exposure to these types of
questions has given us a better understanding on the process described
in one interview. Unfortunately the major of sustainability has
conflicting systems. Many different perspectives needed to be taken in
order to come up with a hypothesis. The job of the sustainability major
will be different each time they start a new project, and there are
relatively infinite solutions to each problem. It is their job to figure
out which solution will suit then situation best.
