CUC100 Assessment 2: Report and Annotated Bibliography Analysis

This report and annotated bibliography analyzes the concept of sustainability, focusing on the sustainability triad and its application in the nursing field. The report summarizes key arguments from two articles: one emphasizing the triad's role in understanding the interplay of social, economic, and environmental dimensions, and the other discussing the evolution of sustainability models, including the three-pillar framework dependent on financial incentives, governance, and technology. The report highlights the relevance of these concepts to nursing, emphasizing how the triad's dimensions intersect to bring about desired changes in the profession. The annotated bibliography provides summaries and relevance assessments of the cited articles, discussing their methodologies, findings, and implications for understanding sustainability in both theoretical and practical contexts. The document examines how the authors use modeling, description, and interrelation concepts to explain their ideas. The bibliography also covers the evolution of sustainability models, from descriptive to strategic, and the significance of the three pillars framework in translating complex sustainability issues into actionable ideas.

A summary Report
One of the argument that the authors pose is that the triad could be used in determining whether
the three dimensions are congruent or they conflict. The three dimensions involves social,
economic and environmental. The three dimensions are the major interactions that interplay to
bring about sustainable development. Also, the interactions between the three under optimization
results to formation of sustainable development. Another argument is that the sustainability triad
could be used as framework for teaching sustainability in the classroom context. The interplay
and interaction between the three components makes it easy to explain some of the crucial
developmental concepts regarding sustainability. In other words, without the interaction of the
three components, it would be very hard, rather difficult to understand sustainable
developmental. Lastly, the sustainability triad is a very essential tool in understanding
sustainability concisely and not just in an abstract form. It promotes understanding of the wide
picture of the three components. One does not need to understanding sustainability superficially
but dig deep into understanding the true meaning of the development with a very opened eye. It
is for this reason that the authors would be applauded for their great work; not because they came
up with sustainability triad but because their arguments are scientifically based.
Relevance to the chosen scenario
It is important to understand first that the chosen scenario is nursing. The source is very relevant
to the nursing because as a nursing profession, there are always instances when the three
components or dimension intercept to bring about the desired change. For instance, in nursing,
the experts have an idea that the nature has its own way of eliminating weak species or weak
individuals that do not fit in the society. To make it simpler, the nature itself balances the
ecosystem and ensures that what is happening is what is supposed to happen. Even in nursing,

the sick die, get buried and forgotten living behind their generations that would continually pass
their genes from one generation to another. As a result, one could easily state that it promotes
sustainability. Sustainability of life is dependent on economic and environmental states. The
source is very relevant since it helps define various aspects in nursing and, they provide solutions
to some of the impending problems that might be affecting the nursing field and the nurses
themselves are not exempted.

The researchers clearly utilize their analytical skills to explore on the significance of the
sustainability triad as a framework for teaching in classes. They succinctly use
modelling, description and interrelation concepts to bring their idea home. The study is
reliable and valid since the design method of their research would ultimately achieve
outcome that could be relied upon. Also, in their article, the authors have integrated
various views and point of concern regarding other sources or other researchers who
had to talk about a similar topic. For instance, they quoted a significant number of
references from other research experts who had ideas to say regarding sustainable triad
and its relevancy in promoting easier classroom learning, easier explanation of the
sustainability and understanding sustainability concisely and not superficially. The
authors conclude by stating that sustainability triad is one of the tools that could have
hidden golds only that people who are supposed to use do not use. The ‘hidden gold’
here means the hidden treasure. The tool is a treasure that could change lives of both
the trainer and the trainee.

to strategic, to the three pillars framework for applied solutions. Sustainability Science,

The authors have a fresher, time and season oriented ideas on sustainability framework
since it is just a recent research. Unlike the sustainability tried in the first article, the
second article researches state that the three pillars frameworks are dependent on the
key and connected roles financial incentives and economics, governance and law, and
technology and innovation. One unique aspect that the authors realizes is that over the
last several decades, a review of sustainability of models has happened and therefore,
they have proposed that the framework pillars could be essential in helping translate
issues on complex sustainability into ideas. Clune et al. stress that a combination of full
transparency and three pillar frameworks, creates the necessary and most often enough
foundation for successful, more rapidly deployable sustainably solutions. In the
discussion they recognize that. technology, good governance, implementation and
creation of the market incentives are among the most durable and effective. The study
is also reliable and valid because of the design method applied and reviewing of other
researchers comment on the same
