Hum Ecology & Environment week 6 discussion

Instructions

Pick any one question and respond in an original discussion post by midnight, Day 4 of Week 6.

After the initial post, you must also provide substantive responses to at least 2 of your classmates’ posts and remain active on at least 
2 additional days during Week 6.

Discussion prompts: 

1. Research any two scenarios of international trade or environmental policies impacting local businesses. Then discuss if the policies encompass all races, genders, and socioeconomic groups, ensuring equity. What challenges do nations and governments face when streamlining energy costs, reducing fossil fuel use, and moving toward zero-carbon energy? As a global citizen and a nurse, how would you influence policies for tackling environmental problems? (USLOs 6.1, 6.2, 6.3)

OR

2. Why is a global perspective necessary when addressing climate change and other environmental concerns? Use at least two specific examples when formatting your response and support it with scholarly literature. What happens if governments focus only on the regional or state level when drafting climate policies? Next, as a nurse, how would you disseminate this often complex, global perspective to others? Can you contribute to system/global issues from an individual level? (USLOs 6.1, 6.2, 6.3)

Each week, your discussion will be graded on a point scale. To successfully complete each weekly discussion assignment, you must address all items included in the discussion topic/question in the initial post and 
thoroughly respond to at least 2 peers on 2 different days.

25% of your final grade comes from discussion forum participation.

All posts should be thoughtful, add value to the discussion, and apply ideas, insights, or concepts from scholarly sources, assigned readings, lectures, or course materials in APA format. Your responses should consist of your informed input. One or two-sentence peer responses will not fetch full points. Do not merely recite the content you read in the unit; don’t simply give your opinion.

Your input should be in your own words (to avoid plagiarism), demonstrating your understanding and comprehension of the topic. Be sure to support all your posts (initial post + responses) with specific references to the assigned readings, lecture material, and other relevant research you find appropriate in APA format.

For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the syllabus.

Note:  
This fast-paced baccalaureate-level course will sometimes require significant effort to complete all assignments thoroughly, accurately, and on time. Late submissions will not be accepted for grading without prior approval from the faculty. Please ensure that you plan accordingly and take steps to ensure you meet the set submission dates.
