<span>"One of the main gains from this course is that there are different discourses and competing understandings of what sustainable development means. The readings and the lectures offered insights on how sustainability is understood in relation to different
social layers, class, capitalism and what ideologies appear as being neutral in the context of public information.
<br>
</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<span>The concept of sustainability has been identified as playing an important part in the “depoliticisation” of modern society. It is often invoked not to question the main power inequalities but rather to prevent the critique of power structures in modern
society. Since many ideological discourses develop through relations between various institutions such as the media, politics, science, and everyday life, what became the “non-ideological character” of sustainability and the way it is highlighted in public
information have led to it being identified as a topic that allows for avoiding confrontational class politics, instead emphasising collaboration and consensus."
