This document discusses four challenges for geography teachers: 1) Encouraging students to question dominant views of human well-being and economic growth, and consider alternative measures like the Happy Planet Index; 2) Ensuring climate change is taught in a way that leads to action, not just understanding science; 3) Helping students understand the implications of peak oil and the need to transition to renewable energy; 4) Preparing students to facilitate major societal transitions to sustainability in response to climate change and resource constraints.

"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment.
The recently published Global Risks 2014 report of the World Economic Forum identifies environmental risks as highest in terms of impact and likelihood. Those risks include both natural disasters, such as earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, and man-made risks such as
collapsing ecosystems, freshwater shortages, nuclear accidents and failure to mitigate or adapt to climate change. Failure of climate change mitigation and
adaptation is the fifth top risk concern according to
multi-stakeholders communities (see figure beside).
Climate change is evidence proven and this paper doesn’t intend to explore the causes. However, one can state that climate change is a systemic problem – it is one that touches all the others. As such by its systemic nature, it can cause breakdowns of entire systems and not only a component part. (
This document contains excerpts from various sources discussing MIT's relationships with fossil fuel companies and climate issues.

Overview
Our
obsession with continual economic growth deters us from studying the role that an expanding population plays in global warming.
[1]
About 3 billion years ago, the Earth suffered through a mass extinction caused by catastrophic volcanic activity in Siberia and wildfires that covered the entire planet. Since then, four more extinctions have eradicated up to 80% of all species each time. The world’s climatologists and scientists overwhelmingly agree that we are now on the verge of a sixth mass event that, over the next few tens of thousands of years, will wipe out nearly all living species on Earth — including mankind.
This is not the stuff of science fiction or speculation, but rather the studied view of the people who are most qualified to make this kind of assessment. As anthropologist Richard Leaky, author of
The Sixth Extinction
,[2] wrote in 1995, “
Homo sapiens
might not only be the agent of the sixth extinction, but also risks being one of its victims.”
This brings us to two issues worthy of reflection:
Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?
To what extent does human population growth impact global warming... and what can be done about it?[3]
The answer to the first is quite simply “yes,” but the solution to the second is more problematic. The damage humans are doing to their climate is ruining the atmosphere surrounding their planet. At the rate this damage is increasing, at some point in the future there will be no atmosphere left to protect life on Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Earth has mild temperatures, thanks largely to the protective gases of its atmosphere.
However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1775), those gases have become stuck in the atmosphere, causing heat radiating from the sun to reflect back to Earth (rather than exiting to space). The result is that oceans have become warmer and glaciers are melting, including parts of Antarctica. If we think of that continent as the stopper in a bottle, its melting away will release all the water it is holding back. This will raise sea levels to uncontrollable lev.
This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted among citizens in G20 countries about their attitudes toward protecting the global commons and transforming society. The key findings are:
1) Most people (73%) believe the planet is close to tipping points due to human actions and are worried (58%) about the state of the global commons.
2) The vast majority (83%) want to do more to protect nature in the future.
3) While many (59%) recognize the need for energy transition, few (8%) understand the scale of societal transformation needed this decade to safeguard the global commons.
4) Most people (74%) support prioritizing well-being

It provides guidance to complete an assignment detailing the steps, procedures, best practices, legal obligations and potential pitfalls at each phase, including: processing the initial crime scene; gathering information and interviewing witnesses during the investigation; identifying, locating, apprehending and interrogating suspects; assembling the final report and presenting the case to prosecutors; and preparing evidence and testimony for prosecution and trial. The assignment criteria include describing responsibilities at each phase, examining relevant procedures, analyzing strategies, and citing references.
The military plays an important role in responding to domestic disasters by providing personnel, equipment, and logistical support. During 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, fighter jets patrolled cities and the National Guard and Coast Guard conducted large-scale rescue operations. While the military is effective at disaster response, there are also debates around federalizing the National Guard, authorizing deadly force, and declaring martial law during relief efforts.
Role of telemedinine in disease preventions.docxwrite4
Telemedicine can play an important role in preventive medicine by allowing medical professionals to monitor patients remotely, collect health data over time, and intervene early if signs of disease emerge. However, the source material did not include a full research article describing a study on this topic. It only listed keywords and did not provide details on goals, methods, findings or impact. More information would be needed to fully evaluate telemedicine's role in prevention.

The document provides guidance for writing a close reading analysis of a text excerpt from Robinson Crusoe. It advises analyzing specific quotes in detail over multiple sentences rather than a brief interpretation. For example, it suggests explaining the language techniques used in a quote that describes Crusoe's relationship with Friday, and analyzing how the quote reveals Crusoe's desire to control Friday despite using the metaphor of a parent-child relationship. The purpose of this close analysis is to provide concrete evidence and make insightful observations about the text that may not be obvious at first reading.
The document provides instructions for writing a literary analysis paper on the short story "The Rocking Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence. It prompts the reader to develop a three-part thesis question and use it to structure a three-part outline answering the question, with each part supported by evidence from the text.

Finally, the document instructs the writer to develop a rough draft and final draft of the paper following MLA formatting guidelines.
Rodrigo Diaz, known as El Cid, decided while in exile to remain loyal to King Alfonso and serve him if called upon, though he was willing to contradict the king if he felt Alfonso was wrong. The document asks if Rodrigo was right to maintain his loyalty to Alfonso over many years despite any mistreatment, or if he should have withdrawn support sooner given the king's imperfections.
Role in Decision Making What is should be.docxwrite4
Nursing's role in decision making for selecting information systems is an important issue. Nurses should be involved in the decision making process to select systems that support the delivery of quality patient care and meet nursing workflow needs. Research shows nurse input is valuable for choosing systems that align with nursing practice and improve patient outcomes.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation should be considered when the disease prompting intubation has improved and daily screening for weaning potential is performed. Studies show most intubated patients should have scheduled spontaneous breathing trials following daily sedation breaks. For SBT, the patient must be alert, able to follow commands and breathe spontaneously, with stable oxygenation and hemodynamics before extubation. Daily SBT involves at least 30-120 minutes of breathing without ventilator support using an open breathing circuit or minimal pressure support. A successful SBT is when the patient can breathe without distress and their vital signs remain stable.

Ruth Milikan critiques Fred Dretske's teleological theory of intentional representation from his book Varieties of Meaning. Dretske claims that some items have the function of carrying natural information and when they do this, they come to represent intentionally and can be false representations. Dretske's theory of items gaining intentional representation through naturally carrying information provides an example of a completed teleological theory of representation as described in Milikan's book.

This led to a diagnosis of appendicitis, ruling out the other differentials.

In addition to the written component, students must include 4 pages of existing images and 2 pages of original diagrams. They are expected to find at least 10 scholarly sources to cite and the final paper should be approximately 14 pages total. The goals of the assignment are to develop research, analysis, graphic, and writing skills related to architectural subjects.
The document discusses the tension between privacy rights and national security in the digital age. It notes that while civil liberties are highly valued, they sometimes conflict with safety concerns. New technologies now record people's activities more through cameras, smartphones, and other means. The assignment asks readers to analyze privacy versus security by addressing questions about which part of the Constitution protects privacy rights, whether those protections still apply today, and how courts have balanced privacy and security when national security issues arise.

1. Making Geography relevant in the Caribbean
Description It is proposed that a more developmental, problem-solving approach to the
teaching of Geography is both relevant and realistic (Griffith 1998). Assess the need to
rethink the purpose and direction of Geography in the Caribbean. Spring 2011 ? Teaching
Geography 9 If you are thinking a year ahead sow seeds If you are thinking ten years ahead
plant a tree If you are thinking a hundred years ahead educate the people Kuan Tzu,
720?645 BCE While possibly a sound maxim for 2700 years ago, does this Taoist insight still
hold good today? And, if one of the tasks of geography is to ?educate the people?, do we
actually think a hundred years ahead ? or even fifty? While geography has begun to take up
the notion of a futures perspective, how serious is the subject about this really (Hicks,
2007)? And what is there to be serious about? The world is now changing in critical ways
that we had not anticipated. To cope with these changes we need young citizens who
understand the nature of local-global connections and are prepared to work for positive
change in their local communities now. Is that an appropriate curriculum goal for school
geography today? I ask, because I am looking at a headline which reads ?World faces
?perfect storm? of problems by 2030, chief scientist to warn?, and the opening paragraph
continues: A ?perfect storm? of food shortages, scarce water and insufficient energy
resources threaten to unleash public unrest, cross-border conflicts and mass migration as
people flee from the worst- affected regions, the UK government?s chief scientist will warn
tomorrow. (Sample, 2009) In this article I throw down four challenges to teachers of
geography. Not because I don?t think they are doing a good job ? I see all sorts of good
things happening in schools. But sometimes it all feels a bit too neat ? another case study on
development, globalisation or climate change. I wonder what happened to the dissenting
tradition in school geography which really pushed against the boundaries and aimed to
create a ?better world? (Walford, 2000)? My four challenges relate to: i) the nature of
human well-being; ii) the impact of climate change; iii) the dilemma of peak oil; and iv) the
transition that needs to occur as a result of these. Human well-being In studying the
production and consumption of goods and services across the world ? whether a pair of
jeans, a cup of tea or opening a bank account ? geographers need some understanding of
economics. The dominant litany is that economic growth is ?good?, that lack of it is ?bad?
and that progress depends on constant economic growth. Now, however, in the face of
serious economic recession, this is increasingly being called into question. As John Gray
(2009) points out, the notion that free market economics would solve all known human
problems was fatally flawed from the start since it totally ignores its destructive impact on
2. both society and environment. Take GDP, which it is assumed tells us something about a
country?s growth and progress. While the sale of arms to another country or the strip
mining of coal will increase GDP, it has nothing to say about the consequent damage to
people and the environment: both are ?externalities? considered irrelevant by economists.
So growth in one place can generate greater inequality and insecurity elsewhere. This
doesn?t mean that growth should be abandoned; in poorer countries it really makes a
difference, but in affluent countries the research on happiness and well-being shows that it
does not. The constant mantra of growth, in which wealth is supposed to ?trickle-down? to
the benefit of all, has never been true and 300 years of rapid material growth has also
caused untold damage to the biosphere on which life depends (Boyle and Simms, 2009).
Other measures of human well-being, such as the Happy Planet Index (2010), show that it
isn?t constant consumption that makes people happy but rather family, friendship, health,
peer approval, a sense of community and having a purpose in life. In countries with average
incomes higher than $15,000 per annum there is little correlation between increased
income and greater life satisfaction. The rampant consumerism and individualism of the last
thirty years seems to have resulted in a breakdown in family structure, a loss of community
and increased inequality. Some questions that follow: ? Do you encourage students to ask
questions about the nature of human well-being across the globe? ? Do you encourage them
to question different indices of human well-being such as GDP and the Happy Planet Index?
? Do you encourage them to question the causes, nature and consequences of unchecked
consumerism on both people and planet? Climate change Global warming and climate
change provide opportunities for all sorts of enquiries, both local and global (Worldwatch
Institute, 2009). However, I am a little uneasy about the way in which these topics are
sometimes treated. Initially there was simply an emphasis on the science of it all. How do
we know whether this is happening? What is the evidence? There is now a wider concern
about the effects climate change may have in different parts of the world and discussion
about the action that needs to be taken. I sometimes fear, however, that geographers study
climate change because it?s a good ?geographical? issue rather than asking how the subject
can contribute to action that will help mitigate climate change. David HicksA sustainable
future: four challenges for geographers Geography has great potential to educate young
people to help create a ?better world? for the future. This article asks geographers to
consider how their teaching covers the nature of human well-being, the impact of climate
change, the dilemma of peak oil and the transition that needs to occur as a result of these.
10 Spring 2011 ? Teaching Geography to agriculture and medicine (fertilizer, herbicides,
drugs and medicines). In Figure 1 the bar graph shows the changing rate of global oil
discovery since the 1930s. Despite improvements in exploration and drilling techniques the
discovery of new oil reserves dropped steeply after the mid-60s peak, and if the curve
follows the usual track of resource discovery and use it will decline to nearly zero by mid-
century. The line graph shows that global production of oil is about to peak and will decline
quite steeply over the next forty years. Demand will continue to rise and therein lies the
dilemma: i) the cost of fuel and electricity will increase as oil becomes more scarce; ii)
global oil supply will soon be unable to meet demand; iii) burning what?s left will
contribute to global warming. As with climate change, the big oil companies argue that there
3. is no problem, that developing new sources such as the tar sands in Alberta and the
discovery of new fields, will put off any problems for the foreseeable future. It is in their
interests to do so. Other oil experts, who have now left the industry and broken its rule of
silence on this matter, are at the forefront of arguing for a rapid move towards an economy
based on renewable sources of energy. The world consumes more than 80 million barrels of
oil a day, 29 billion barrels a year, at the time of writing. This figure is rising fast, as it has
done for decades. The almost universal expectation is that it will keep doing so for years to
come ? Our society is in a state of collective denial that has no precedent in history, in terms
of its scale and implications. (Leggett, 2006, pp. 21?22) Fortunately, some elements of
government and business are beginning to face up to this issue, as witnessed by
investigations into the impact of peak oil on the UK?s energy future and an expert report
from the Centre for Alternative Technology (2010) on how to create a zero-carbon Britain
by 2030. Some questions that follow: ? Are you helping your students to understand what a
world without oil would look like? ? Are you helping your students to understand the need
for a zero-carbon economy in their lifetime? ? Are you helping students to understand the
changes that will be necessary to create such an economy and the part they have to play in
this? Transition times Issues of human well-being, climate change and peak oil all point to
the fact that the future will be very different from today. Many of the practices of the last
200 years are now seen as unsustainable in that while they have brought benefits to some
they also created global inequality and long-term ecological damage. The order of change
that is needed to adapt to climate change and a post-oil economy is qualitatively different to
any other changes in human history (Heinberg, 2005). One of the most interesting recent
developments is what is known as the Transition Town movement (Hopkins, 2008). A
transition community emerges when a group of people find they share a common concern
for the impact of climate change and peak oil on their local area. The key purpose is the
creation of community scenarios and timelines for a more There is now a general
consensus among scientists that climate change is a major global problem. It should be
noted that many deniers are associated with the oil and coal industries which have a vested
interest in ?business as usual.? Many of the differences of opinion about climate change
arise from competing ideologies, whether free market economics or environmental concern.
Hulme (2009) argues that climate change now needs to be discussed in relation to wider
issues such as the social meanings it holds for people, the things we choose to give value to,
our beliefs and fears, the way we communicate and the way we are governed. In short it
raises questions about the very nature of the human endeavour. Until recently, most
discussion on CO2 emissions focused on the need to keep the average global temperature
from increasing by more than 2?C. A study by the Met Office, however, challenged the
assumption that severe warming will only be a problem for future generations, saying that,
if unchecked, global warming could bring an average temperature rise of 4?C by 2055.
Should this occur, deforestation and fires could destroy over 80% of the Amazon rainforest
by the end of the century; in southern China and northern India the monsoon rains which
supply the water for drinking and for crops could cease; 200 million people could become
refugees as a result of rising sea levels, lack of water and crop failure. The overall
consequences for food, security, water and health would be enormous ? if this scenario
4. were allowed to come about. Some questions that follow: ? How can we teach about climate
change in such a way that it does not worry or disempower young people? ? How can we
ensure that climate change is not just one more topic to ?tick off? in the curriculum? ? If
climate change requires a new generation of concerned and active citizens, how can we
ensure that school geography contributes to this? Peak oil The term peak oil may not be as
familiar as that of climate change but it will create just as many changes. Oil is essential to
our transport systems (road, rail, sea and air), the production of electricity (with its many
uses), and its by-products are central 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 1930 1950 1970 1990 2010

Teaching Geography 11 for sustainable change. Geographers interested in sustainability,
Sustainable Schools and those aspiring to become so, can learn a lot from and contribute a
lot to such ventures (Hicks, 2011). Some questions that follow: ? How can you make sure
that sustainability is not something that is only taught about in geography but is also a
whole-school concern? ? What transition initiatives are there near you and how could your
school contribute to them? ? What can geography learn about sustainability from transition
initiatives that will inspire students to action in their own community? In the face of these
four challenges David Orr talks about the years ahead as the ?long emergency? so I wonder
how geography will contribute positively to the ?education for upheaval? that will
consequently be required (Hicks, 2010)? At the very least it needs all of the skills that
geography and citizenship teach combined creatively together. As a geographer I would not
wish my subject to be found wanting by future generations. | TG sustainable future out of
which come plans for an ?energy descent?: the shift that will have to occur from reliance on
fossil fuels to renewable sources and greater energy efficiency. As interest groups emerge,
for example on energy, food and transport, interrelated action groups are set up. One of the
reasons for the success of this movement is that it aims to be as inclusive as possible and
starts at the grass roots with people in their community (see Figure 2). In some areas,
Parish Councils and Local Authorities have asked to work alongside transition communities.
The emphasis is on local reliance. Hopkins (2008, pp. 54?55) writes: Increased resilience
and a stronger local economy do not mean that we put a fence up around our towns and
cities? It is not a rejection of commerce or somehow a return to a rose-tinted version of
some imagined past. What it does mean is being more prepared for a leaner future, more
self-reliant, and prioritising the local over the imported. The Transition Town movement
offers one avenue for becoming directly engaged in action David Hicks is Visiting Professor
