I have a very particular way of looking at the world. When I do a social value analysis for myself, I want to know how a program impacts everyone involved, whether those people are intended targets of the program or not. Whether those people are geographically proximate to the program or not. All else equal, I generally do not differentiate between the impact on people nearby and those far away (in terms of space or even in terms of time). What I am looking for is the value of the program to the planet. I may also need to calculate the impact on non-human animals. See those elephants above? Yeah, they count for something. That sounds pretty lofty, I know.
