Sociology Energy sources united nations MDGs Questions

The  information you provided in your presentation on Threats to the Global  Environment has led to productive debates at the UN General Assembly!  There are now questions about prioritizing the issues at hand. Some of  the countries are challenging your recommendations and questioning your  reasons for not including the issues they believe are priority.

From  the initial eight global threats, there are four remaining threats that  you did not choose in the list of major global issues. Review the list  of topics and reflect on two that you did not use in last week’s  assignment. Defend your reason for considering these topics lower in  priority than the ones in your presentation.

Energy sources                                     Civil war

Globalization                                         Poor health of entire populations 

Lack of educational opportunities    Cultural taboos 

Inappropriate uses of technology     Climate change

The completed version of this assignment will consist of the following: 

Select two threats from the list above that you did not use in your Assignment 3a presentation.

Create a minimum two-page document in which you outline a counterargument for the two threats you selected:

Write an opening statement describing the perception of each threat. 

Write  one paragraph for each threat in which you give  three reasons to explain why the threat is less of a priority to the  global environment than the four you selected in Assignment 3a. Support  your reasons with at least three credible sources.

A conclusion statement for each threat.
