SOC 450: Solutions to Global Issues:

DISCUSSION 1:(NEEDS TO BE 300 WORDS)

Week 9: The Most Critical Pollutants

In Chapter 6: The Environment – Part I, Hite and Seitz (2016) note that pollution and global warming were an important concern of the first world conference on the environment that was held in Sweden in 1972. Principle 6 of that declaration stated that we must stop the release of pollutants and heat that cannot be effectively processed by our environment (Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. 1972. Chapter 11. p. 2.

<https://www.ipcc.ch/apps/njlite/srex/njlite_download.php?id=6471>).

Thinking about the different types of pollutants and heat that cannot be effectively processed by our environment, which are the most critical to address? Identify three pollutants you consider to be the most critical to address and explain why you believe they are most important.

Review the posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other post, offering a substantive comment on that classmate’s position on the issue(s).

Be sure to inform your response with facts from sources. Use our ebook/textbook each week and at least one scholarly outside source. You must cite sources in-text and give a full citation at the end of your response using the Strayer Writing Standards.

DISCUSSION 2: NEEDS TO BE 300 WORDS

Week 10: The Cost of Economic Growth

In Chapter 7: The Environment – Part II,Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss the existing tension between development and the environment. Development brings economic growth as well as social and environmental changes. To a developing country, economic growth may be of a higher priority than the consequences to the long-term health of its citizens or its environment. On the other hand, poverty can also harm the environment such as how searching for land to farm contributes to deforestation.

Them:

Thinking about the everyday impact of race/ethnicity. Let’s begin with the profound statement made by writer Zora Neale Hurston as she said “I am not tragically Black!’ Think about the ways the ideas of race and ethnicity have constructed you and how the world sees you (please write this as Muslim female who currently living in the us , like how the ways and the ideas of race and ethnicity have constructed me as Muslim person specifically female and how the world sees me a s Muslim female in general ( when I say in general , I mean do not write about what the news usually show). Oh, and you can also write it as an Arab person and Muslim. Second, Confront these ideas! In the way similar to Leslie Silko’s confrontation of the US border patrol. Demand that society live up to aspirational notions of justice and fairness (recall the discussion of Angela Davis and her critique of the prison-industrial complex), and consider the ways that those who would let their presumptions about race/ethnicity guide their actions, can be constrained. Take some time to consider the everyday impact of racial and/or ethnic constructions on your life.
