Option 1: Environmental Pollution Scenario Review and Summary

 

You are an associate-level environmental scientist in a large urban city. The growing human population within the city increases pressure on the infrastructure and natural resources, affecting the environment. As cities expand, they cut deeper into surrounding rural areas, causing environmental problems, such as the loss of wetlands, loss of biological habitats, and air and water pollution. The high density of automobiles, factories, and commercial enterprises in urban areas adds to airborne emissions, including particulate matter, various types of oxides, and hazardous volatile compounds.

 

Your selected city is experiencing rapid growth in population. The City Council is worried that this pattern of population growth, combined with concerns over climate change, is beginning to create a number of negative environmental, economic, and social consequences. These include deteriorating infrastructure, increasing traffic congestion, declining air and water quality, and the loss of open space. The City Council has charged you with writing a report that will recommend measures to address the pollution issues and reduce carbon emissions.

 

Make decisions on the optimal measures for addressing the pollution management issue. Choose four of the following measures based on pollution reduction:

 

·         Pollution control legislation for point sources

·         Random emission testing

·         Encouraging alternative transportation, walking, and bicycle use

·         Promoting fuel-efficient cars

·         Establishing green spaces or urban forestry

·         Improving roads

·         Encouraging carpooling

 

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary briefly describing the background information and details. Include the following information:

 

·         Describe your selected measures.

·         From an environmental science and climate change perspective, describe the potential effectiveness of your selected measures.

·         Trade-offs for the various pollution reduction measures, including potential improvements in human and ecosystem health: For example, bringing in legislation to install pollution control devices in factories may sound like an effective choice, but installation of such devices is a huge expense, and there is likelihood of strong opposition by business groups.

·         Explain the following statement: “Decision-making about environmental issues necessitates the maintenance of a fine balance between the effectiveness of measures and the public reaction towards them.”

 

Includeat least two outside references. Format your summary consistent with APA guidelines.

 

Option 2: Environmental Pollution Argument

Select a physical item. Your selected item must represent some aspect concerning environmental pollution as a direct result of human activities. Write a 700- to 1,050-word argument discussing how your selected item contributes to environmental pollution. Include the following:

 

·         Describe your selected item.

·         What is the significance of this item?

·         What relationship exists between your item and pollution? Identify the origin or causes of the pollution.

·         What is your item’s relationship to people and the environment?

·         What are the possible effects and consequences of this pollution to human and ecosystem health?

·         What does your item and pollution issue mean to the present and future quality of life to you, your family, your community, your region, the nation, and the world?

·         How does your object relate to climate change?

·         How does your item connect some significant attitude or action that people might use toward changing how others think, react, or take actions in solving, eliminating, or reducing your selected pollution issue?

·         Identify treatments and preventative measures for this pollution.

·         Identify and discuss what caused you to reconsider your attitude, mindset, values, and actions to change regarding your selected issue.

·         How or what might you do to suggest, influence, or be a role model who inspires individuals, your community, or region to improve the existing conditions of the environment in relationship to your item and your selected issue?

 

Additional Tips

 

·         Your argument is not valid if it is only your opinion.

·         In defending your stance, ask “So what?” and “Who cares?” to test potential challenges your audience may ask you to test if your argument is convincing or not. These are two questions to test if your argument is convincing or not.

·         You may include a short personal story with a limited use of first-person pronouns.

·         Your story must be relevant to your pollution issue.

·         Use APA guidelines including citations and references.

·         Include no less than one reference.

·         Demonstrate that you were reflective, innovative, or creative in constructing your argument.

 

·         Negative or resigned arguments are not valid.

 

Comparison Paper Instructions

Assignment 1: Public Administration ‒ The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Due Week 3 and worth 210 points

The purpose of the assignments is to introduce students to the field of public administration and nonprofit organizations by identifying and analyzing the challenges a public administrator faces in a dynamic organizational and political environment. Each assignment builds upon the previous assignment allowing the student to gradually develop an understanding of how public administration and its policies are addressed on all levels of government.

For this assignment, you will use the readings and e-Activities from Weeks 1 through 3.

In this first assignment, you will select a policy issue and evaluate its impact. Select one (1) policy issue of interest to you, which will be used for evaluation for all of your assignments.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Develop a brief overview (i.e., no more than one [1] paragraph) of the selected issue.
2. Recommend one (1) type of public policy out of the four (4) mentioned within the text and develop a reasoning as to why this policy supports the issue that you have selected. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Suggest two (2) policy modifications that may positively impact and two (2) policy modifications that may negatively impact the outcomes for the issue that you have selected. Provide a rationale for your response. Note: In this question, you are recommending change to the public policy in Question #2 and how the changes will impact the selected issue.
4. Suggest three (3) methods by which the Constitution—specifically the powers of Congress— addresses the role of government within business administration overall for your selected issue. Provide a rationale to support your response. Note: In this question, you are evaluating the relationship between government and business of the selected issue. Focus on the role(s) the government and businesses play in supporting and / or negating the selected issue.
5. Include at least four (4) peer-reviewed references (no more than five [5] years old) from material outside the textbook. Note: Appropriate peer-reviewed references include scholarly articles and governmental Websites.. Wikipedia, other wikis, and any other Websites ending in anything other than “.gov” do not qualify as peer-reviewed.

When writing the paper, use the outline headings below that correspond to sections of the paper:

• Policy Issue (for Question 1)
• Public Policy (for Question 2)
• Policy Modification (for Question 3)
• The Constitution (for Question 4)
• References (for Question 5)

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Reconstruct the historical development of the field of public administration.
• Rearrange public administration, both the traditional and the new approaches, from structural, functional, and process perspectives, as well as the key goals of the public and private sector.
• Evaluate the role and functions of public administration as it relates to executive branches of government and public policies at federal, state, and local levels.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in public administration.
• Write clearly and concisely about public administration using proper writing mechanics.
