fact, it has been a concern for some time. This
c.
Protypical
customer: Households
and businesses
d.
Opportunity
easy/difficult to exploit: This opportunity is easy to
exploit because there is still more we can all do to help in this fight. I know
over the years as we have become more aware of the negative effects of global
warming there have been a lot of positive changes in our world. However, even
with that we are still seeing increasing environmental concerns. Such as,
rising sea levels and increasing wildfires.
e.
Why:
In my opportunity belief assignment, I felt there was an unmet need for more
options for those living in apartment complexes and business to have access to
recycling. Recycling is an important weapon to fight climate change and global
warming. Recycling reduces deforestation, saves energy, and minimizes
greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.

The opportunity here to exploit would be quickly finding a vaccine or treatment
to stop the continued rapid spreading of this.
e.

The outbreak of the coronavirus has affected our economy very quickly. It is a
major concern in our world right now and a solution needs to be found.

Regulatory
Change – Opportunity to include LGBT individuals in the Civil Rights Act of
1964
b.
Opportunity:
I believe an opportunity exists here. According to the text
on “govtrack.us,” 28 states still allow discrimination based on sexual
orientation or gender identity on the state level.”
c.
Protypical customer:
LGBTQ community
d.
Opportunity easy/difficult to
exploit: I believe this will be relatively easy
to exploit because clear legal protections for the LGBTQ community are still
lacking.
e.
Why:
We all need to be understanding and accepting of one another. No one person
should be discriminated for being who they are.
4.
Regulatory
Change – Vaccination Requirement for Children
b.
Opportunity:
I believe an opportunity exists here. The
bill was introduced to the House on May 3. However, it has not been passed yet.
Vaccinations aid in the prevention of diseases spreading. Right now, especially
with the Coronavirus outbreak, a lot of individuals are concerned about disease
prevention.
c.
Protypical customer:
Pharmaceutical companies
d.
Opportunity easy/difficult to
exploit: The one problem I see with this is parents
having an issue with not having the option as to whether or not they want to
vaccinate their children. A lot of parents have chosen not to already for
religious reasons or concerns that vaccines may be unsafe,
e.
Why: I
saw this opportunity because there have been so many outbreaks in recent years of
diseases that could have easily been prevented by vaccines.
I fully agree with your point on climate change. As an issue that has only recently been emphasized in the political realm, the next step is taking actual actions to remedy the negative effects that have already occurred, while also preventing continuous environmental degradation. Climate change as a whole causes numerous, significant macro-level changes in the world that must be accommodated to prevent population displacement, food shortages, and other widespread issues.
