Written Assignment - What Cultural Themes Teach Us About Diversity?
Given the recurring themes of being torn between two cultures, writing against stereotypes, and negotiating racial tensions that have surfaced for authors throughout this course, so what do these stories about the struggles of coming to America to find a place amidst two cultures teach us about diversity?
A sample thesis (which you are free to use) might be:
• Minority writers: A, B, and C, write against stereotypes, cross-cultural issues, and the importance of diversity in America.
• Minority writers through their shared stories about living cross-culturally and being impacted by stereotypes highlight the importance of celebrating diversity as seen in the writings of A, B, and C.
Remember that a theme in a piece of fiction is its view about life and how people behave. We might ask ourselves: what do the characters, action, plot, setting and conflicts in this piece show us?
Please respond in a five-paragraph APA essay format with quotes, proper in-text citations, and references.
Environmental Controversy - Ecosystems Biodiversity
Should we mount a massive effort to restore ecosystems that we have degraded even though this will be quite costly? For this week's environmental controversy we explore this question.Write a 2-page response to the questions posed to you. Remember to cite your sources using APA.
Ecological restoration, which is discussed in your textbook, has a critical role in protecting and understanding the Earth's environments. Unfortunately, even if personnel and financial resources are available, many sites are too damaged to be effectively restored. In such cases, alternatives to restoration must be pursued, including: rehabilitation, remediation, replacement, or the creation of artificial ecosystems.
Some individuals worry that large-scale ecological restoration could mislead the public into believing that any amount of environmental damage can be undone. Ultimately, a massive and expensive restoration program could be offset by weakened regulations and increased environmental damage in other areas. Furthermore, alternatives to ecological restoration may be able to repair more sites at less cost.
Based on what you have read and researched, do you believe that the loss of biodiversity is a concern for humans? Should the government not only preserve but restore ecosystems that we have degraded the biodiversity even though this will be quite costly?
