450 WEEK 1 DISCUSSION
Projecting the World
Population
No one knows what the
world’s population will be in the future, but the United Nations gives three
projections: high, medium, and low. Explain how each of these projections would
affect your immediate community. How would these population changes affect the
way you currently live your life?
Also, watch the video on
the announcements and comment.

Slowing Down Global
Warming
Reputable scientific
studies continue to show that the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate
because of a rise in the release of CO2 and methane gases. Reflect on your
daily life. How may the rise of these gases influence how you live your life?
What steps can you take to cut down the amount of these gases released into the
atmosphere?

The Cost of Natural
Resources
The high cost of oil in
the Global South continues to have a detrimental effect on its population. What
are the primary natural resources that are used in your state? If this natural
resource became unavailable, how would that affect the state’s economy? How
does the harvesting or collecting of this natural resource affect the natural
environment?
Review the posts of your
classmates and respond to at least one other post discussing how the natural
resource they chose to write about would influence your community.

resources?

The Pledge to Eliminate
Poverty
The Millennium

Feeding the World
This week you learned
that though there is, in fact, enough food available to feed the entire world
every day, this is not happening for various reasons. Look at the community in
which you live. If food became inaccessible to your community, how would that
affect your day-to-day life? How would it affect the immediate community?

The Evolution of a
Technical Solution
Consider how technology
has evolved in your life. These changes may impact how we can work to find
solutions for the global threats discussed so far. If we could remove the
current boundaries of technology and look into the future, how would you use
technology to resolve one of these global threats?

Using Technology to
Improve the Future
The benefits of
technology to humans are almost too numerous to list. As with anything, there

450 WEEK 10 DISCUSSION
Getting Thirsty
Water covers 75% of the
Earth’s surface, but most of it contains high concentrations of salt and is
unavailable. Desalination is expensive for developing countries, making that
salt water unsuitable for consumption or irrigation. Consequently, access to
fresh water is a growing issue as countries share the same water sources. This
even has the potential to become an issue of national security.
Think of the issues that
come from circumstances in which countries share the same water source. For
example, consider disputes over the Jordan river between Jordan and Israel, or
the Tigris River between Iraq and Turkey.
Now consider what would
happen if your state or community had only limited fresh water access. How
involved do you feel local governments should be in controlling water access?

Making It Personal
This course studied the
major threats to global well-being. In the readings, media, and assignments,
you were challenged to consider your stand on the issues covered each week. In
your personal life, what global issue (if any) affects you most today?
Reflect and share the
steps you can take to prevent this issue from coming closer to home.
