What if anything did you learn in this class that you either did not know before, and did anything we learned made you think differently about how our Planet and Universe works. Be honest!

some topic learned in class, feel free to chose any of those.

A Global Ethics for a Globalized World

Virtue Ethics and Modern SocietyLinks to an external site.
Classical Stoicism and the Birth of a Global Ethics: Cosmopolitan Duties in a World of Local Loyalties
Reflect: The change of our world from a local economy to a national economy to a global, international economy means that increasingly diverse populations will have to work together to achieve common goals. However, as the economy becomes increasingly global, local economies and people may suffer economic disadvantage or may find themselves marginalized from the rest of the world. Globalization creates ethical dilemmas for which we will need to find solutions.

Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts:

Explain the implications of globalization.
Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global societal topic you have chosen – international drug trafficking
Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical dilemmas.
Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible financially, socially, and culturally.

Architectural Techniques

 

choose ONE of the following options and create ONE post in response:
● Architectural Techniques. Create your own “architectural structure” demonstrating the use of both post-and-lintel and corbelled arch techniques. Use ordinary objects in your home (Legos excluded.) The most impressive “building” (out of cans, books, whatever) will receive extra credit.
● Architectural Comparison. Find two works of architecture in the textbook that are *not* found in the chapter specifically about architecture. Compare/contrast the buildings in terms of techniques used, formal qualities, function, and context.
● Architecture in Your Neighborhood. Look around the neighborhood where you live, work, or otherwise hang out. Take photographs of three buildings and discuss how you think they compare with some of the buildings discussed in the PowerPoint or chapter. You should discuss issues related to both formal qualities and function.
