You might consider, for example, how your own connection to the subjects or ideas for post-pandemic reform—perhaps in terms of jobs, educational goals, social concerns, community needs, or future prosperity—might help you explore and expand the extant conversation about the issue(s) related to your subject.

To set the conversation of your project, you’ll be using at least five sources, one (or more) from each of the following types:

 

The Unit 2 Folder Sources [see the Modules section of Canvas]
The Harari Chapter
The Bastani Chapter
The Unit 1 Authors
Your goals are to identify a specific problem, analyze the current set of solutions your readings present, and then create an original argument that responds to a gap in that conversation. This argument may draw from any of the texts we have read in this course, and often the best presentations draw connections to various issues and sources we have discussed throughout the quarter. Consider the TED Talk a culminating showcase of your growth arc during the quarter; marshal the full suite of our course skills and techniques to the best of your ability.

Unit 2 Folder Readings
1: Climate Change

Harari: “Justice” Chapter “21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari”

Drilled. “The Climate Deniers Have Lost Their King, and Still They Soldier On” (Podcast)

Examine how COVID-19 impacts food security in two different countries—the United States and a country of your choosing in Africa or South Asia. Next, research and write an essay examining how COVID-19 impacts food security in these two countries..’ Make sure to gather information and answer the questions listed below. (Must address all question and use following words: Food and Agriculture Systems, Food Choice and Policy, Industrial Agriculture, Sustainable Development).’ 1.How does Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Number Two (Zero Hunger) fit with your understanding of development from the course material?.’ 2. How does COVID-19 impact food security in the two countries you have researched? How do the problems of access differ between your two countries?.’ 3. How do the similarities and differences in food security and food access in these two countries impact the way you think about development?

Endangered Species

A challenge of addressing all problems, not just environmental ones, is limited resources. One issue with the Endangered Species List is that there has to be a recovery plan and money to fund that plan in order for organisms to be federally listed as endangered and receive protection. Choose one of the following organisms to save as you only have the funds to save one:

Hawaiian Monk Seal

Manatee

Gray Wolf

Grizzly Bear

Florida Panther

You must justify your response with at least three reasons why this is the you feel should be saved. You must also give your plan to save this organism.

 

 

Regulations associated with water and air.

Posted on | by

 

You examined various regulations associated with water and air. Using the information you learned last week, make some predictions about what might happen if environmental policy is ignored.

What might happen to the air and water in your community if environmental regulations are not enforced? How might your life be impacted? How might your community be impacted?

A fossil fuel (coal, oil, or natural gas)

Posted on | by

 

 

 

For this assignment, you will write an essay describing a fossil fuel (coal, oil, or natural gas), a conventional energy alternative (nuclear power, bioenergy, or hydroelectric power), and a renewable energy source (solar or wind). There may be other types of energy sources in each category, but only choose one from each category that is listed. IN your essay, describe each of your three selected energy sources. Be sure to mention if you are discussing the energy source as an electricity source or as an overall energy source. For instance, natural gas can be used for heat by simple combustion or can be used for electricity by heating water to steam and then using the steam to turn a turbine generator. Your essay should address the following for each of your three energy sources:

impact on the environment and ecosystems,
conservation strategies,
energy use,
environmental policies related to pollution prevention,
energy options for industry, and
power company initiatives related to sustainability.
Your essay should be at least three pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages.
