Question

Jonathan, the HR manager of a manufacturing company, asks all the employees to use public transportation and thus contribute to the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. However, the employees state that they lose time if they use public transport, and they continue to commute in private vehicles. In the context of social dilemmas, the employees' actions will result in ________ in this scenario.

Answer 1

the Tragedy of the Commons

Step-by-step explanation:

A lot of people still fail to consider our environment as part of ourselves and where we live. They choose to believe that pollution is not that serious because they do not see it or are not affected by it. But our world is one big house where we all live. The burning of the Amazon rain forests affects us all, the same as car pollution affects the whole world, even if you do not feel the negative effects right away. Since people do not see the bad consequences of pollution, they will continue to pollute until it is too late. Most people place their individual needs ahead of the collective needs of society and our environment.
