b. Research on the internet about “the sustainable development goals”, you can use this link
(https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/envision2030.html), some of these goals “promote
responsible management and effective control of e-waste”. Explain briefly how do they expect to

Even though these ideas are not presented in these sites, suppose: What could be some actions that
they apply in terms of social and economic aspects?
Social actions Economical actions
To conclude:
Analyze and support your ideas: What must be the role of some technologies in relation to improve the
development of sustainable development (considering the three aspects) in different fields?
(Include complete and meaningful ideas)
Social: technologies such as automation in the industries to replace the work of some people will
help people in a long term objective, at first sight is possible to think that this kind of technology
won’t achieve goals in the social criteria but it will increase the living standards of humans by
replacing routines and time-consuming duties and it will make more free time for more quality of life,
also it will change the culture of the humans in a positive way by making the jobs evolve into
innovate jobs instead of routinary and time consuming jobs.

such as sun-energy cells we will keep using fossil fuel, or fuels that aren’t renewable such as coal
and oil, so in this order of ideas we can say that technology in the development of a sustainable
environment is very important, so if humans develop technology to prevent using materials that
aren’t renewable such as water, air and soil, it is contributing to a more sustainable world.
Economical: There are a lot of way that technology can play a role in the development of
sustainable economy, tech advances in health, business and environment provide opportunities to
communities through the introduction of new jobs, looking to the big picture, investing in sustainable
agriculture and fisheries that don’t use pesticides, antibiotics, or hormones on their products,
preventing the depletion of natural resources, will increase the economy by gathering a big amount
of clients and governmental beneficts.
Final challenge:
In this final point you are going to apply learned ideas in a concrete action:
This final point requires that you research on the internet about one Colombian
company that you choose, identify and show its sustainable program. Create the
following chart in a different word, complete the required information:
Strong actions: present the actions that through your research, you consider that the company has
strong and therefore, they guarantee the achievement of its real purpose.
Weak actions: consider the actions that as a result of your research do you think that company is not
considering or implementing (take into account nature of the company).
