Energy Sources Civil War A Powerpoint Presentatio
Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues.
Many
of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium
Development Goals. They believe that the goals focus on the wrong
issues. There is a disconnect between the types of issues the developed
countries in the UN believe are priorities versus the issues that
developing countries of the UN want to prioritize. For example, the
country of Burundi has requested that one of the goals be focused on
food security. However, Austria is adamant that the major current global
issue is to mediate ceasefires within countries experiencing a civil
war.
You
have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the
four issues that have the biggest impact on the global environment.
Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical.
Energy sources |
Civil war |
Globalization |
Poor health of entire populations |
Lack of educational opportunities |
Cultural taboos |
Inappropriate uses of technology |
Climate change |
You
will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly. Your goal
is to provide a brief history of each issue, the number of countries
affected, and the effects of this threat on the world population.
The completed version of this assignment will include the following:
- A
PowerPoint presentation containing relevant information for the UN
General Assembly on four of the eight threats listed above.- The order of your slides should reflect the order of priority you assign to the four threats you have chosen.
- Create a minimum of four slides per threat (for a minimum 16 slides total) on the following topics:
- A brief history of the threat
- The number of countries affected, and how they are affected (giving examples)
- The effects of this threat on the world population as a whole
- Include a chart or graph (see #4 below).
- Each of the four slides will include:
- A
paragraph in the notes section to explain how the details you have
provided in the slide is pertinent to the UN’s discussion on selecting
and prioritizing goals.
- A
- For
each of the four threats, include one visual (graph or chart) to
represent the data you have collected. The visual should be incorporated
into the information/topics presented in the slides. - Cite at least five credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias.
