This course focused on the interactions between society and the environment. I learned the ways that humans affect the environment and how the environment shapes human society. I learned the most prominent theories in environmental sociology, as well as the major environmental issues facing society.
For this class I read the book Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle against DuPont By Robert Bilott. This is the book that inspired the film Dark Waters, it is a true story about how DuPont was getting away with poisoning a towns drinking water. It is a must read for Erin Brockovich fans as it tells a similar story 26 years apart. Below is a copy of my book report that mixes course elements into the story of Exposure.
