QUESTION

To explore the mechanism of eutrophication

What dilemma do scientists scramble with as it is well documented that eutrophication/nutrient enrichment triggers Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and deteriorates water quality?

  1. To suggest solutions for overcoming challenges (possible consequences of eutrophication). Solutions can involve individual actions, economic or political strategies.
  2. # Guidelines:
  3. Read the two articles from the links below, one from Environment Education Victoria and the other a release from a Nature Education-Knowledge Project that relate the dead zones mediated by eutrophication to indiscriminate use of insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers.

# Answer the following two questions-Thoroughly justify your answer by examining both your position and the opposing viewpoint:

How do changes in the ecosystem due to nutrient enrichment impact the health and wellbeing of species, including Homo sapiens?

How can advances in scientific understanding of eutrophication be applied to manage and mitigate the effects of multiple anthropogenic pressures?

Women’s suffrage movement

Question

part 1 :Write a post on the following topic:  Was the fight for women’s suffrage a united movement?  Base your response on  the section titled “Woman Suffrage” 

part 2 :Write a  response to a classmate that is insightful, engages the material and contributes to the overall discussion.

classmates post :

While  the fight for women’s suffrage had the common interest of women’s right  to vote, the approaches of which different groups made to achieve  liberation was not a unified effort. The movie Iron Jawed Angels  primarily follows two women’s advocate groups, the National Women’s  Party (NWP) and the National American Woman Suffrage Association  (NAWSA). Early in film the character portraying one of the leaders of  the NWP, Alice Paul, outlines the contention and apparent feelings of  precedence over NAWSA, calling them old servants of families and  societies and fighting in an outdated, overly conservative nature  whereas the suffragists of NWP are young, independent, and educated  whose hands-on tactics are more effective. There is another division in  the movement depicted by the exclusion of black women in an effort to  maintain relationships with prominent political figures.

Chapter 18 introduces Progressivism. The Progressive era took place  in the early twentieth century when social divisions afflicted America  among the economic expansion of goods that produced millions of jobs.  Women reform groups worked to protect women and children from exploition  which ignited a new fire under the movement for woman suffrage. Divided  interests led to slower progress in the movement and steps backwards as  groups worked against each other while trying to move forward in the  suffrage movement. 

Applying Cultural Relativism

Question

Overview

Two videos (one on food and one on language) offer interesting  comparisons and will help you practice applying cultural relativism in  preparation for the final project.

Prompt

Complete the module discussion before completing this journal assignment. Then, view Texans Trying to Pronounce WI City Names (2:36) and Would You Eat It? 10 Weird Foods We Dare You to Try  (6:14). Choose one of these videos to focus on as you make connections  between cultural norms, language, and personal identity. In your journal  assignment, you will explain the cultural norms and values you see  presented in the video and then note how these cultural norms and values  are different than your own. You will explain how you practiced  cultural relativism as you developed conclusions and ways that you can  apply your learning experience in this journal assignment to your film  analysis in the final project.

Be sure that your journal assignment includes each of the following critical elements:

Cultural Norms and Values: Identify the cultural norms and values with specific examples from the video.

Cultural Comparison: Describe how the cultural  norms and values you identified are similar to or different from your  own norms and values. Be sure to offer specific details and examples.

Cultural Relativism: Explain how you practiced  cultural relativism as you developed conclusions about cultural norms  and values within both the video and your own culture.

Application to Film Study: Suggest specific ways  you can apply what you learned by completing this journal assignment to  your film analysis, even if you chose other concepts for the final  course project.

Dream #2 (female respondent):“Had gone with a friend to a church I had never visited.

I acted in a very ugly manner (voice-wise) and I woke up. (Strange right!?)”
