Global climate change, looking from the theory of the social fields

Abstract

Unplanned progress and development bring with it a significant increase in Global Climate Change, where responsibility is intrinsic to the State and individual to each. The negative impact on the environment generates an environmental crisis, which threatens not only economic relations or any type, but even life itself on the planet. Methodologically, it is an interpretative hermeneutic investigation, with a qualitative approach and documentary design, through a bibliographical revision, texts and on-line documents of different authors to develop the pertinent analyzes, generating a process of interpretation and theorization of the observed reality. We studied the environmental crisis inscribed in a new historical social process, from Bourdieu's theory of social fields. The management of the environment has changed in structure and content, so another form of management has been established, which deserves to be debated and studied in its components, effects and consequences. Symbolic struggles and domination on the part of the power groups are mutually agreed upon, and common sense, a sense of the social, only makes the functioning of the structures of domination obvious. An exacerbated consumerism is induced that prevents to minimize the impact on the global warming, reason why it is necessary to generate the environmental citizenship to form the culture of the good use of the resources and services.
