The Climate Crisis: Potential Solutions?

/in /by

1) Problem definition… what is the issue, who does it affect (e.g. Global North vs. Global South), and why is it a problem?

2) Who are the stakeholders?

3) Major debates/issues…what are some of the most widely held views/position

4) What are some of the solutions to address the problem (also, what are some solutions that might NOT be a solution)? What are governments and NGOs doing?  Are existing businesses part of the solution or the problem? How might the solution fail?  What stands in the way of this solution?

5) How might this be an opportunity for businesses or what firms are pursuing this or how would the industry need to adapt?

Within the topic you are free to focus on any angle you find particularly interesting and emphasize how it impacts the future of our world; you are encouraged to provide the main relevant perspectives about that angle and not just their own personal opinion. You are expected to support your assertions by clearly citing their sources and by referring to core course concepts.

A good project will incorporate a minimum of 20 cited sources (this is a general guideline and I expect you to research this issue extensively).

Learnings from Yuval Noah Harari’s: “Sapiens” A brief history of humankind should be used and referenced.

A fair amount of analysis should also be linked to the “Anthropocene” as it describes the epoch during which humans have had the most impact on the earth’s geology.

What does your neighbor think?

/in /by

Choose one person outside of your immediate family or household to ask about creation issues. This can be a co-worker, neighbor, friend, etc. If possible, try to ask these questions of someone who you think holds different views than you do, and ask them if it is ok for you to write up their answers (without naming who they are) for this assignment.

The questions are:

Do you think that the creation account in Genesis records history?
When the Bible talks about God creating in six days, what do you think that means?
How old is the earth?
Do you think that Adam was a historical person?
What are some of the reasons why you answered the way you did on these questions?
Talk with them about their answers, and provide a 250-word (minimum) summary of their reply, along with your thoughts on this experience. A reference is not required for this discussion board.

Collaborating to Decrease Minor Disruptive Behaviors

/in /by

To prepare:
Research evidence-based strategies for improving collaboration with general educators to implement interventions with fidelity.
Implement at least one evidence-based strategy with the general education teacher, and collect data on the behavior you identified in Module 2 with the interventions put in place.
Read the Kincaid et al. (2015) article in the Learning Resources. Consider the concepts you would like to be implemented in your school setting.
Using the course text and your own research, identify evidence-based strategies for decreasing minor disruptive behaviors and develop a professional development presentation on the topic.

Write 1-page in your cumulative paper that:
Explains how you collaborated with the general education teacher to ensure the interventions are being implemented with fidelity
Explains at least one evidence-based practice that you implemented to help support this collaboration

Cultural appropriation and cultural purity

/in /by

“Something about the story and the characters granted me a sense of freedom to write an American opera, an opera that is rooted in our peculiarly skewed political image of ourselves, an opera that aims to be both theatrically entertaining and psychologically acute.” – Adams

“The way culture works…is never pure — everything is pollination all the time. that is the energy of our period, which is by definition multicultural and multileveled…Nixon in China had ‘no overt Chinese references in it musically, but sets up a world which you regard as Chinese…Instead of using a kind of musical orientalism, it’s quite the opposite: what is the shared world here? one of the most important things about John’s music is that it’s not a colonialist viewpoint tapping into someone else’s music. It presents the texture of the world we are actually sharing, in which this interpenetration of influence and aspiration from all sides is creating something that is itself a new culture” – Sellers

“I think that one has to understand both cultures … When I was composing I didn’t really think about what was Chinese or what was western,” he says. “For me the idea of fusion has to come from the bottom up not from the surface.” – Sheng

Reading the above, do you agree that culture is never really pure? Is opera, as an example of art, something that by its nature is always something new and not a recreation or reinterpretation or falsification? Is it fair to judge opera as failing to accurately recreate or portray any culture?
