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.
 

1. 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.

2. Section I. Background

 
What are greenhouse gases?
How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?

3. 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)?

4. 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?

5. 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.

Question Description

Each student, in consultation with the instructor, will choose a musical repertoire or genre and prepare a Research Paper and Presentation. How does the repertoire you’ve chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity? Bear in mind that while lyrics and performance are important, you must address musical issues as well. Cite 3-4 scholarly articles using MLA style formatting as your resources for the background paper.
Provide a listening example of the genre that can be played by your classmates. Include lyrics, if your music has lyrics, and some guide or explanation of the music itself that guides the listeners through the performance. Videos found online may be used if the video enhances or explains the music in some way. If a video of the performance is used, a listening guide should be provided as well.
Submit your Research Paper Topic to the Dropbox no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT of Module 2.
Submit your Research Paper to the Dropbox no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT of Module 7. (This Dropbox basket is linked to Turnitin.)
In addition to the Research Paper, you will also be creating a presentation (including a playlist) for your fellow classmates to read and hear. In the Module 7 Discussion Board, you will post a brief description of your project and attach the Research Paper and Presentation (including music sample). Then, read at least two of your classmates’ presentations, listen to their music samples, and post your comments.
Write a brief description of your Research Paper and post the Research Paper and Presentation (with listening examples) no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT of Module 7.

The Saint Leo University Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) develops students’ decision-making skills through applying critical thinking and the university’s core values. Certain University Exploration courses instruct students in the QEP and allow them to practice with these ideas through a set of structured assessments. This class includes instruction in the QEP concepts and an assessment of the students’ ability to apply these concepts within the academic discipline of the course.

Question Description

ABSTRACT
The title of Term Paper: What Impacts does violent parent have on kids and their development?  Current research concentration on the outcomes of the exposure of children to violence covers a broad range of violence in the community, the family, and the media.

• What is the author’s thesis or major point he or she is trying to make?
• What are the major assumptions the author makes (and expects you to accept) in arguing that thesis?
• What are the implications for theory, research, and practice?
• What are some important or useful concepts the author presents?
