Courses in Social Standards
Project development and execution, apart from the risk of undermining the environment and basic life support systems, can also undermine the societal social structure and support systems including traditions, culture, morals and character. Governments, politics and economy thrive on the basic building blocks of environment, culture, tradition and character. Infrastructural project development is supposed to act as the lubricant that oils the societal flywheel of prosperity. But if adequate precautions are not taken, they could also become a clog on the flywheel that will eventually destroy it. Thus, a project development and execution that undermines the basic societal building blocks sets both the society and the project itself on the path of self-destruct. The process of development must also lead to inclusiveness and guarantee existing social cohesion.
