Description
OPTION #1: HELPING SAVE A SPECIES : GORILLAS

CONSERVATION IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY SUBJECT WHERE EVERYDAY ACTIONS OF HUMANS HAVE AN IMPACT ON SPECIES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. TO HELP SOLVE THESE IMPACTS IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR ACTIONS AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR THIS PORTFOLIO OPTION YOU WILL CHOOSE ONE SPECIES THAT YOU WANT TO ENSURE WILL BE AROUND FOR MANY GENERATIONS. IT CAN BE ANY PLANT OR ANIMAL NATURALLY FOUND IN THE WILD (GORILLAS). YOU WILL PRODUCE A PAPER ABOUT THE THREATS YOUR CHOSEN SPECIES IS FACING AND HOW WE CAN HELP OVERCOME THEM. YOU WILL ALSO CREATE A PRESENTATION THAT YOU COULD USE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE ISSUES YOUR SPECIES IS FACING AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO HELP THEM. YOUR PAPER WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS:
Describe your species (GORILLAS), including where they are found, what they eat, who eats them, and how they interact with humans.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

Discuss the IUCN Red List status of your species (is it endangered?) and research the threats to its survival. Use the IUCN Red List (http://www.iucnredlist.org/ (Links to an external site.)) as one of your sources for this section.

Describe the threats facing your species and how these threats affect other species as well. Are humans or organizations one of the threats?
Discuss solutions to the threats facing your species. What solutions have been presented by people in the field? What solutions can your think of based on what you know?
Initiate contact with one person knowledgeable about the species. This could be a university scientist, or perhaps a researcher at a non-profit working to protect the species. In your interview (via email or phone or in person), ask the person to share about what threats the species faces, why it is important to conserve the species, and what actions he or she would recommend to those eager to help with the conservation effort. Document your interview with a transcript or summary paragraph in an appendix page at the end of your paper. BIO121 Week 3 Saving a Species Paper

Choose two ways you can help save your species. These might be the ideas suggested to you by the researcher, or could be other approaches you came up with on your own. Try them out during part or all of the last three weeks of the course and record data to show how your changes had or did not have an impact. Help an organization working to protect the species (ideally, volunteer to do something, instead of just sending money). Launch a social media campaign about the status of your species. If the species is local, educate your community in some way about the species. Make a lifestyle change that will benefit the species—just make sure it is not one of the five steps you already took in your footprint-reduction project. What else can you think of to do? Whatever actions you take, you will need to figure out a way to gauge whether or not they were effective to any degree.

Discuss why you chose the method to help that you did and how it went.
Present the data you collected from before and after the change to show the impact your change had.
Is this something you could continue to do? What would be the impact on the environment if you did continue to implement this change?ternal site.) homepage. BIO121 Week 3 Saving a Species Paper

Read Steven Kelman’s “Cost-Benefit Analysis: An Ethical Critique”

Description

Read Steven Kelman’s “Cost-Benefit Analysis: An Ethical Critique,” which, alongside its critique of cost-benefits analysis, provides a detailed explanation of the ethical theory called utilitarianism. On pages 126-127 of the essay, Kelman explains four scenarios that he thinks poses potential challenges to the strength of utilitarianism as an ethical theory.

The first example tells of “an old man in Nazi Germany who is hostile to the regime.”

The second example tells of “two very close friends who are on an Arctic expedition together.”

The third tells of “a wave of thefts that hit a city and the police are having trouble finding any of the thieves.”

The fourth example starts, “Imagine two worlds, each containing the same sum total of happiness.”

For your assignment, choose ONE case that you’d like to ethically evaluate in some detail.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT:

First, reread each of the four cases and choose the one you think is the most ethically complicated.

Next, explain the case you’ve chosen and make an argument for what a Utilitarian would do to resolve this case. Support your answer by referring to the texts (Kelman’s and John Stuart Mill’s) you’ve now read that explain Utilitarianism.

Third, make an argument for whether or not the Utilitarian solution is the right solution. Your response should be between 250-500 words in length. You will write your response in a word document.

Kelman seems to use these examples to try to convince his readers of the problems with Utilitarianism, but don’t be swayed unnecessarily. There are times when we might argue—along with Utilitarians—that the right choice is not always the most noble choice. Sometimes doing the right thing in the long term, might mean making a difficult or ethically complicated choice in the short term. So, think through these four scenarios independently and write a thorough and thoughtful defense of what you think is the correct ethical action .

Introduction to Education for Development

  1. ‘Decolonising’ has become a buzzword in debates about education in recent years. To what extent can a ‘decolonizing’ agenda help address persisting inequalities in education? Please choose a specific focus for your essay and use examples.
  2. In times of climate and ecological emergency, do formal education systems present more hindrances to responses than opportunities for responses? Discuss with reference to at least one case study.
  3. There is extensive research on how to tackle inequalities of gender, disability, rural/urban status, and socio-economic status in access to schooling. Is this research relevant to education in conflict zones?  Your answer should discuss ONE or TWO of these aspects of inequality and should make reference to real-world examples.

  1. What is the role of systems of measurement in improving access to schooling, and reducing inequalities?  Your answer may consider one or more specific types of disadvantage
  2. “Low-cost” or “budget” private, fee-paying schools are promoted by some policymakers as empowering parents through choice, and children through raising the quality of education.   Do you accept these claims?  Your answer should refer to one or more real-world examples in developing countries.
  3. Why might the achievement of gender parity be an inadequate route to gender equality in and through education?  Please critically discuss with evidence from at least one country.

Question 2

Imagine that you work for an energy tech company, namely, Gsunsolar. The company is active in selling and installing solar panels for homeowners. The recent increase in the price of oil and gas has increased interest in new renewable energy sources; therefore, Gsunsolar wants to get the most out of this situation.

In this regard, the CEO decided to run an ad campaign on Facebook. The CEO decided to run the following two different types of ad campaigns on Facebook:

  • ‘No targeting’: do not target any specific user on Facebook
  • ‘Targeting’: target users who are interested in one of the following topics
    a. “Vegan food”
    b. “Saving on energy bills”
    c. “Saving the planet”
    d. “Luxury products”
    e. “Green energy”

The CEO of GSUNSolar is now done with the campaign and is asking you to evaluate the results. In particular, the CEO would like to understand the following:

  • Did the ‘Targeting’ campaign generate more shares?
  • Which topic(s) should be considered for targeting users in future campaigns?
  • Did the ‘Targeted’ campaign generate more profit than the ‘No targeting’ campaign? Discuss ‘why’ based on your results. University of Wolverhampton :Marketing & Strategy Analytics

Question 3
