Week 2 Discussion
Class, before you begin reading and responding to the discussion questions, please review the Weekly Discussion Guide and Examples (Course Info section of Blackboard) and adhere to the discussion post requirements. SOC 450 has specific discussion requirements for content, formatting and discussion grading.
Please review the following information: Chapter 3 of your textbook (Hite) focuses on "Population." Chapter 6 focuses on "Climate Change” and presents scientific studies that show how the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate due to a rise in CO2 and methane gases.
Chapter Reading: Answer the following main discussion questions from the Hite (2021) chapter readings and course media, and provide at least one reference citation (yes, you may cite the textbook). Present substantial information written in complete sentences only (minimum 175 words), do not write content in a list or bullet point format—this is not a memo. Label each task according to the Weekly Discussion Guide Instructions.
For question 3, you will find the World Bank List of Developing Nations 2020 in the Course Information section of BlackBoard.
