ocial factors are things that affect and influence our lifestyle in a given manner. Since there are a conceptual framework and cycle concept, decisiveness is a factor that must be observed in order to overcome these challenges. In the field of engineering and project management, these factors play a very vital role in decision making as discussed below.

Poverty – Decision making is vital to every society regardless of its social status. Technology is a very vital aspect of our livelihood makes it further critical in decision making. However, poverty leads to the urgency of acquiring something. This implies that one is likely to set for something that is substandard. Third-world countries, where poverty rates are so high, have always suffered when it comes to technological choices. The emergence of new technology is always accepted without a second thought. This may lead to wrong decision-making since little is done to assess the impact of such technology before it’s put into use thus leading to even acceptance of obsolete technology.( Parnell et.al.,29)

Education- The use of technology requires a certain level of literacy. Lack of proper education makes one very gullible and submissive to others’ opinions on what is good or bad with respect to technology. As opposed to people with proper education, the illiterate in society have the inferiority complex that makes them feel that their little knowledge cannot allow them to make the right decisions. However, those with good education always tend to make informed decisions even without necessarily being a luminary in that field.&nbsp.People with poor education have always suffered as a result of relying on decisions make by the learned, which may be based on self satisfaction rather than common benefit.

Majority of the population of the society belongs to a certain religion and belief. However, religions believe in divergent doctrines that may lead to acceptance or rejection of certain technologies. Their belief in different things leads to several ethical issues. These ethical issues influence decision making in both direct and indirect ways.&nbsp.
