If I ditch natural science, I can see myself getting a job as a social impact assessor. If that day comes, ill def return back to this for the SIA variables & the international principles

I’d say this has a structural functionalist theoretical undertone. I think it puts the emphasis on individual projects and developments, but all that shit is futile if the dominant society is run under capitalist exploitation
