Write a design brief for a ShelterBox Tent, in which you analyze on such design and explain how the physics of force and structure make it work. Evaluate the cost, advantages and any disadvantages of the shelter, and discuss these in your report. 

Think about these definitions/questions when you evaluate the benefits and limitations of this application of science in regards to one world factors.

	ECONOMIC is defined as “pertaining to the production, distribution, and use of income, wealth, and commodities.” The costs and benefits of using science. Who pays or receives the benefit? Is it worth it? How much will it cost? Are the potential benefits worth the cost? Who pays for it, private companies, the Government, consumers? (Obesity will cost governments millions but so does changing people’s eating habits and diet- is it worth attempting to deal with it?)
	SOCIAL is defined as “of or pertaining to the life, welfare, and relations of human beings in a community.”
The people affected or involved, from a few people up to the global community. How will this application of science affect society, will it affect everyone or a select group? Will it unfairly affect one group of society over another? Will everyone have access to the science/solution or only the privileged (An oil refinery is a local problem but global warming is truly global)
	ETHICAL is defined as “pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct.” Is it right or wrong to use science in this way and if we do, how ought we to do it? (Aborting foetuses is something we have to do in a caring way even if we think it is right or wrong. Who decides whether it is right or wrong, the Government, religious groups, individuals? There are ways of doing things and often a law to guide us - animal testing is highly policed).
	POLITICAL is defined as “of, pertaining to, or involving the state or its government.” Is the government involved directly or are powerful groups trying to influence people or the government or the UN etc? Notice how much diet advice is given in books by non-experts. Why would the Government be for or against this the application of this science and how would it affect other countries?
	ENVIRONMENTAL is defined as “of, relating to, or associated with the environment.” Is the issue an environmental one in some way, directly or indirectly? (Pollution is direct but what about binge-drinking?)
	CULTURAL is defined as “of, relating to, or associated with the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group.” A problem in one place is seen differently in another for reasons such as faith, tradition and different belief values. Would people from different cultures be affected the same way or have the same opinion on the scientific solution. Some religions are against certain medical procedures, from organ transplants to blood donations. Some cultures rely heavilly upon the natural ecosystem to gain their food and shelter, others live in a manufactured society and are diconnected from the natural world. Certain religions have rules about how males and females should interact, or what foods to eat.

Optionally, reference Government/ UN/Non government organization (NGO’s) reports and newspaper articles and scientific journal for key statistics, tables, graphs and diagrams.
