Project Summary: PROMPT: This week you had readings by Rachel Carson (Silent Spring" and (“On Population”, in the Readings/Preparations folder) by Thomas Malthus. This week's Discussion Board consists of two different parts. Thomas Malthus stated in the 1920s that there is a built-in control on the growth of human population. Watch the video listed for this week (provided by Population Connection) that illustrates the changes in world population over the course of human history. Be patient...the patterns become more noticeable as the video continues. Then, complete question 1 in the week’s discussion board: DISCUSSION BOARD QUESTION 1: Take a stand on this statement: New technology is the best solution to solve current environmental problems. You can Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, or Strongly Agree with this statement. (note: there is NO "neutral" or “undecided” option). Debate your stance with your colleagues in a professional manner with science as the the basis of your argument.
