Justice and Change in a Global World
This essay is focused on criticizing a global issue and challenges associated with that
global issue. To do so, a global issue which has been chosen is ‘the global fast food market
and its adverse impacts on the health and society’. In this way, this essay will narrate shared
responsibility for the common good which has not been realized yet. In addition, this
discussion will propose different ways to address the posed challenges of the chosen global
issue within the professional community globally and locally.
In the context of common good principle in relation to the chosen global issue, the
common good is also known as common weal, common welfare, and commonwealth (Holz,
2017). Here, the common good can be referred to as whatever is shared as well as beneficial
for the entire members of a given community and achieved by collective actions, citizenship,
and active participation. In this context, the issues studied in the assessment 2 while focusing
on mutual responsibility for the common good are going to critically analyse here. The
critical issue which has been identified during assessment 2 was mortality and obesity both
globally and locally (Jacobsen, 2018). It is well-known that the shared responsibility for the
common good in relation to this selected global issue is not being realized. The above can be
observed within increased obesity rates and deaths because of the obesity issue caused by fast
food consumption by the common good largely. It has also been researched that as much as
the fast food offers a sense of satisfaction, they cause a critical challenge while realizing
objectives of the common good. Moreover, there are no strategies averting the fast food
consequences have been realized and implemented by the respective governments like
Australian Govt (Public Health England, 2014). In this context, shared responsibility for the
common good must be realized by the food agencies, food security firms, people and family
members, community members and most importantly relevant governments locally and
globally. The global fast food markets and providers are creating stress on society while
generating the causes of life-threatening diseases like diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular
diseases in terms of obesity. As we can see that trend of having fast food is increasing day-
by-day and hence its harmful effects on societal health are also exponentially increasing thus
addressing these global challenges has become essential (Skolnik, 2016).
Post analyzing the global issue of obesity and mortality, now different ways for
addressing these challenges is going to be proposed here in the context of professional
