Sustainable development is the key to the stable growth of the the economy. It will not only lead to the development of the present economy but will also lead to its development in the future. It means that development should take place without damaging the environment, and development in the present should not compromise the needs of future generations. This concept stresses the role of the environment as capital that, if exhausted, cannot be replaced. It requires the preservation of human capital, physical capital, and natural capital.

The three core elements of sustainable development are briefly discussed below:

Environmental Conservation: The primary focus of sustainable development is to protect the environment so that the resources provided by it do not get destroyed.

Social Development: It aims to attain the well-being of an individual and society at large. It entails the availability of necessary resources, proper healthcare, and good quality of life for people.

Economic Progress: It encourages people to invest in sustainable efforts by persuading them through its long-term benefits and supporting both the environmental and social elements of the cause.

Characteristics:-

Real per capita income and economic welfare should continue to increase over the long run. Simply said, sustainable development means

that resources should be utilized organically and without overusing them.

Sustainable development aims to use natural resources and the environment to raise the standard of living while preserving future generations’ capacity to meet their own needs.

Promoting environmentally friendly and biodegradable products is a goal of sustainable development, as is establishing sustainable plans for resource replacement or replenishment. Green architecture and other environmentally friendly building techniques are emphasized in sustainable development.

Scope :-

Sustainable development is observed as the mutually beneficial interaction between the legal interest of a business and the economy, government and politics, and civil society, and culture. However, these social interactions do not exist alone. On the physical and material side, the society is bound by the carrying capacity of several ecosystems, landscape ecology, and eventually the biosphere of the Earth or Nature. On the spiritual and psychological side, the three fold functional differentiation of society is inspected by the caring capacity of an individual. Therefore, we can say that sustainable development is a multidimensional concept, involving not less than four dimensions.

History is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. There is a history of every field and topic, from medicine, to music, to art. To know and understand history is absolutely necessary, even though the results of historical study are not as visible, and less immediate.To study history is to study change: historians are experts in examining and interpreting human identities and transformations of societies and civilizations over time. Historians use a wide range of sources to weave individual lives and collective actions into narratives that bring critical perspectives on both our past and our present. Studying history helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas by examining how the past has shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people.

The Past Teaches Us About the Present

Because history gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems.

History Can Be Intensely Personal

In learning about the past, we often discover how our own lives fit into the human experience. In October 2015, a UW alumnus named Michael Stern contacted Professor Aand mos Bitzan for help translating letters from his grandmother, Sara Spira, to his parents. Bitzan was able to integrate some of the letters into his class on the Holocaust to bring to life for his students the day-to-day realities of being Jewish in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Everything Has a History

Everything we do, everything we use, everything else we study is the product of a complex set of causes, ideas, and practices. Even the material we learn in other courses has important historical elements – whether because our understanding of a topic changed over time or because the discipline takes a historical perspective. There is nothing that cannot become grist for the historian’s mill.
