Josh sits in his kitchen in the city projects trying to sip his coffee while inhaling the nauseating fumes wafting from the town dump that was relocated to within a mile of his home. he desperately wishes he could move, but he works two jobs just to make ends meet for his family. josh lives in the poorer part of town; the part that is greatly overlooked by local government officials. what might a sociologist call this phenomenon?

Respuesta :

A sociologist would likely call this phenomenon as environmental racism. The environmental racism involves of having to point out injustice with mixed racial context in the environment. It could be seen from Josh’s actions and behavior as he views the environment differently and that he wants to move but he couldn't and he probably thinks that he is living in a place like that solely because he is from a poor part of the town.
