The Concept Of Subsidiarity: Catholic Social Teaching
Subsidiarity is the Catholic Social Teaching that focuses on the right of all to decisions in activities that affects their lives. It means that people should have a say in decisions that affect them, and they should be informed to the level to where they can be able to make the best possible choices for their future. Subsidiarity places a focus on individuals and communities handling their affairs without major interference from a large organisation such as governments- “nothing should be done by a higher or larger organisation that cannot be done by a smaller or lower one” (Resource 3) this is because people who are closer to the issue have a better idea of the problem and can truly get a come to a better solution for the population involved.

The idea of Subsidiarity is a Catholic Social Teaching that has been drawn from the Bible’s scripture two such examples are “Whoever is the greater among you, let him be your minister” (Mt 20:26) which shows how the ones who have the best capacity to be making the decisions should be making …show more content…
After undergoing countless hours of research most “climate scientists of today agree that he main cause of the current global warming trend is the human expansion of the greenhouse effect” (NASA 2017)- our atmosphere gases are trapping heat from exiting earth. Certain gases do this more so than others, and the increased human activity with gases such as Carbon Dioxide, and Methane mean our burning of fossil fuels changes the atmospheric composition. Creating an increased greenhouse effect is predicted by scientists to rise the earth’s temperature which will melt pole ice and expand ocean water, resulting in rising sea levels. Despite however the controversy over reasons why, sea levels have been rising at a rate that has increased in recent years. Sea levels have been rising at average of 3.4 millimetres a year (NASA, 2017). Higher sea levels mean that storm surges push further inland than they once did- creating many areas of impact from contamination of water or the spread of human waste. Some of these predictions have already been observed in the environment: glaciers are shrinking and an accelerated sea level
