Imagine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis on how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects a developing country of your choosing: A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal oil and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things like electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels. The UN has asked that you choose a developing country from this list: https://www.mrs.org/developing-countries-list. The UN has also given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. It has asked that each section be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; Identifies the developing country you will consider; Tells the UN which causes of greenhouse gases you will explore; and Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background What are greenhouse gases? How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming? Section II. How Emissions Causes Problems for the Developing World Which countries produce the most greenhouse gases? What are the economic challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? What are the security challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? What are the political challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? Section III. Causes and Solutions of Greenhouse Gases What are two causes of greenhouse gases? What are potential solutions to address each of the causes you identified? What is the relationship between population control and greenhouse gases? Conclusion Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research. Formatting Requirements Make sure your paper consists of FILLER TEXT Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: Section I. Background Section II. How Emissions Causes Problems for the Developing World Section III. Causes and Solutions for Greenhouse Gases Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. Include a cover page with your name, the country you selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor's name.

Part A:  Chapters 3-4 in Women in the National Experience Pg. 36-Barilla Taylor, pg. 38-Harriet Hanson Robinson, pg. 41-Sarah Bagley, pg. 62-Caroline Healy Dall and pg. 64-Dr. William W. Sanger. Parts B and C:  Chapters 5-6 in Women and the National Experience The history of North American slavery is complicated.  North American slavery is a dynamic institution that dramatically changed from the colonial era to the Civil War.  Before European settlers colonized North America, a person of any skin color or religious persuasion could be a slave.  For example, millions of Irish people were enslaved by the British over a period of several hundred years.  The British brought many Irish slaves to the New World (including North America) in the earliest days of exploration and settlement and treated them worse than animals.  The "peculiar institution" eventually became a color based system but it did not start out that way.  White and black slaves often lived together in the same "slave quarters."  This led to the blossoming of relationships between white and black slaves, which angered white land owning masters.  When these relationships contributed to open rebellion, like with Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia, the elites took action and passed laws which curbed the liberties of free black people as well as black slaves, creating a division between white and black slaves as well as free white and black people. Gradually, the planters stopped importing white slaves and increased their dependence on black slaves.   The experience of female slaves further complicates the history of slavery.  Slave women did the same back-breaking work as men, worked the same long hours and endured the same barbaric and cruel punishments; however, they faced another danger unique to their gender, rape and other forms of sexual assault.  Part B:  In your primary sources there are a few different accounts on slavery, escape, sexual assault and abolition.  For Part B of this discussion, please answer the questions outlined below for the following sources: Pg. 80-Harriet Tubman, pg. 84-Harriet Jacobs and pg. 91-Mary Boykin Chesnut Questions: How are the experiences represented in all three sources different?  How are they similar?  Be SPECIFIC, no vague generalizations.  Use examples from each source, not just one or two.  Show me you read the sources by using them in your answer. Please also answer both parts of the question. How does reading all three of these sources give us a more complete understanding of the early American slave system and specifically, the experience of female slaves?  Again, be specific, no vague references that could easily be taken from the introductions, text book or lectures. Vague answers will not suffice.  Use all three sources in your answer. Part C:  The abolitionist movement is critical to understanding women’s history.  The abolitionist campaign helped launch the women’s rights movement and served as a training ground for female activists to learn how to organize a campaign, petition the government, write speeches and find their political voice.  To fight for the rights of slaves, one had to understand the constitution and how the institution of slavery violated a citizen’s rights.  For this next section of the discussion, students must answer questions for the following sources: Pg. 100-Elizabeth Emery and Mary P. Abbott, pg. 105-Pastoral Letter to New Churches and pg. 106-Sarah Grimke. Questions: What arguments did Emery and Abbott use to support the position that women should be allowed to participate in the abolitionist cause? On what basis do Emery and Abbot argue that slavery is a sin? How do Emery and Abbott suggest that the United States is not honoring it’s legacy and core values as a nation? According to the Pastoral Letter, when does a woman forfeit the protection offered by men? How is the Pastoral Letter an example of cultural construction of gender? On what basis does Grimke argue that men and women are equals? How does Grimke suggest that the bible is a misrepresentation of god’s intentions? On page 107, in the left column, evaluate the passage where Grimke says “Rule by obedience, and by submission sway” . . . “or in other words, study to be a hypocrite, pretend to submit, but gain your point.” What does Grimke mean by this statement? 

Topic for Initial Posting Managing Workplace DiversityReply Posting: Managing Workplace DiversityIn this discussion board, we are talking specifically about your course project. A brainstorming session is a fantastic way to get ideas down on paper. When you do this kind of creative thinking, no answer is wrong. It is just a possibility. Brainstorming with peers is a fun way to get the ideas flowing. Remember, you want to be passionate about your project topic.Discussion Requirements:Initial Posting: Brainstorm five problems. The problems can be job-related, service problems, product problems, or community issues. What might the positive outcomes be for the people affected if they were solved? Are there any negative outcomes for the people affected?Reply Posting: Reply to at least one other student regarding their project topic ideas. Do you have any information about this topic that might help them with the research? Do you have any connections where they can interview a person about the topic? Have you read an article on it lately? If so, where?Plan on writing 2-3 paragraphs for your reply posting.Why do we brainstorm a student's response? Brainstorming is important because you don't know what you don't know. This is an example of how brainstorming can help you write your paper. A student came into class frustrated because he had just found out that he needed to interview the person about whom he was writing a paper. It was a small piece of the requirements that he hadn't read clearly. As he was explaining this to his peer, she asked whom he was needing to email. He told her he was writing his paper on the CEO of a major hardware store, and he had to actually talk to and interview the CEO. His hopes of earning an A on this paper were quickly dwindling. His peer reached down to her phone, clicked through a couple pages and handed him a phone number. She said, "Here is the number of the CEO; he is my dad's best friend. Just tell him you are my classmate." The student called him the next day and earned an A on the paperThe point is this: by using the discussion forum to get to know your peers, you may find out that one of them is an expert on the topic you are choosing to write on.
