The instructor wants us to start the work with the topic definition, sings and symptoms, available diagnostic test and treatment. Following by a case study scenario where applying the previous data and with the outcome of the case.
Global Solutions for Sustainability
Homework 2
1. Read the Case in Point on Hurricane Katrina on page 79 of your textbook as well as from
external resources. Then, use Google Maps to investigate the region and try to identify
hills/mountains nearby, if any are present (you may benefit from the street view function).
Based on numbers given in the text, and the prospect of more severe hurricanes due to
climate change, comment on the potential outcomes of the next hurricane, supposing it
hits in 2050. By keeping in mind the reasons why the city was built in its current location in
the first place, propose a sustainable solution to the problem.
2. Billions of barrels of oil are transported over water bodies for nations to run their
economies. Inevitably, mistakes/accidents happen and the end result may be disastrous.
a. Investigate the 1989 Alaskan oil spill through online sources. Do you think the end
result of the lawsuit was fair in terms of its societal, environmental, and economic
impacts?
b. Next, investigate the 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil spill. Do you think the end result of
the lawsuit was fair in terms of its societal, environmental, and economic impacts?
c. Further investigate the chemical dispersant used during clean-up efforts and discuss
whether it was a good decision made by BP.
d. Next, give examples of oil spills that occur outside the U.S. (i.e. internationally) and
compare the actions of affected governments/societies, and oil companies involved.
3. Read “The American Dust Bowl” on page 296 of your textbook as well as from external
resources.
a. Use a satellite imaging software (e.g. Google Earth/Maps) and explain what you see in
the affected area shown in Figure 14.11. Also, comment on how climate change is
expected to affect precipitation and temperature patterns at the same location (go back
and check the lecture on climate change).
b. Back when it happened, California was not as populated as it is today and survivors
were able to migrate at the expense of leaving everything behind. If aquifers of the
region feeding agriculture were to dry up or become contaminated, what do you think
would happen? (This is not a remote possibility when you consider slide 32 in the
‘water’ lecture slides)
c. Now suppose a similar environmental problem occurred in a different part of the world
and national boundaries prevent people from moving to neighboring states/countries.
What do you think would happen then?
4. Bangladesh had a population of a little over 150 million in 2011, and a population density
of 1046 people per square mile. 81% of its population lived on less than $2/day, after
adjusting for purchasing power. As a comparison, the U.S. population was close to 312
million in the same year, with a population density of 32 people per square mile, and
negligible (less than 0.5%) portion of the population living on less than $2/day (adjusted for
purchasing power).
2
Majority of plains in Bangladesh have elevations less than 10 m (33 ft) above sea level, and
the elevation of the coastal south is at sea level. Look at the figure on page 18 of your
textbook for per capita energy use, and hence contribution to global warming. As sea
levels rise and more frequent storms are observed in the region, it may be possible that
millions of people will become refugees.
a. Look up the term ‘climate refugee’ from Wikipedia and describe what it means in your
own words. Do you think this scenario would qualify those people as climate refugees?
b. What do you think will happen to those people who lost their homes to rising sea
levels, or cannot find food as agricultural areas are inundated with seawater?
c. While some people believe that they will be unaffected by such events occurring in
distant foreign countries, others believe that they will be directly or indirectly affected
by it. Discuss your opinion.
d. By comparing the predicted effects of climate change from previous lectures
(temperature, precipitation, agricultural yields, water etc.), identify other critical
regions/countries that may experience similar problems. (You may also benefit from the
2011 world population data sheet posted under additional readings, or the one that
came together with your textbook)
Authentic Assessment Curriculum Based Assessment (150 total points)
Students will develop and describe Curriculum Based assessments. These are all student-centered and developed for the individual student in order to link the IEP to daily instruction targeting individual needs. Authentic assessments allow for frequent individual monitoring for progress to determine needs for instruction. Utilizing the collaborative approach to determine assessment needs increases parent, teacher and student participation in the assessment process.
Select primary area of “focus” to assess with the focus student social skills; behavioral concerns– other areas may be addressed as necessary. The assessments are worth 50 points each for a total of 150 points.
Develop and Administer
1) Curriculum Based
The student will submit the assessment developed and results of the selected authentic assessments with a brief (one to two paragraph) analysis of each assessment administered to the “Administered Assessments” module. (50 points each). Assignments that are missing the summary/analysis are subject to loss of points.
In this activity we want you to choose one of the social networks below and investigate the technologies that are needed to make it work. Then we want you to find software components that could be assembled together to build a similar service. These could be Open Source or commercial software.. Find at least 3 tools and spend some time deciding which one would be most useful to a brand.
The whole activity should take around 2 hours.
1. Which service have you chosen for this activity?

The purpose of this assignment is to provide learners with understanding and skills to assess the need for strategic
change in organizations and how to empower them to take engagement actively in the process of strategic change
management.
Scenario
It is the realities of today, change is imperative for a healthy and sustainable success of today’s organizations. To this
end, every organization undergoes a change process so as to compete with the changing market circumstances. You
are required to identify the need for change in any department or area in your chosen organization and you have to
state why there is a need for change and how will you plan and implement it effectively.
Task 1
Understand the background to organisational strategic change
1.1 Discuss models of strategic change and their differences (AC 1.1).
1.2 Evaluate the relevance of models of strategic change to your chosen organisations in the current
Economy (as of the current situation which is the best suitable model) (AC 1.2).
1.3 Assess the value of using strategic intervention techniques in your chosen organisations (AC 1.3).
Task 2
Understanding the issues related to strategic change in an organisation
2.1 Examine the need for strategic change in the chosen organisation (explain where or which part of the
organization you intend to bring change) (A.C 2.1).
2.2 Assess the factors that are driving the need for strategic change in your chosen organisation. (A.C 2.2)
2.3 Assess the resource implications of the chosen organisation not responding to strategic change in light of
financial, human and physical resources (A.C 2.3).
Task 3
Be able to lead stakeholders in developing a strategy for change
Develop appropriate and efficient systems to involve stakeholders in the planning of change. (A.C 3.1)
Develop a change management strategy for your chosen organization and show how stakeholders’
involvement in the change initiative is ensured. (A.C 3.2)
Evaluate the systems (which you have developed in 3.1) used to involve stakeholders in the planning of
change. (A.C 3.3).
Create a strategy for managing resistance to change; you need to address the issues involved and provide a
workable approach to overcome resistance to change. (A.C 3.4)
Task 4
Be able to plan to implement modules for ensuring ongoing change.
Develop appropriate models for change in your selected organization which have to reflect the circumstances
facing the organization (A.C 4.1)
Develop a plan on how you will implement the change plan. (A.C 4.2)
Develop appropriate measures to monitor progress by explaining how you will monitor the progress of the
implemented change (A.C 4.3).
Assessment
Learners need to research information from a chosen organisation and develop a report on planning strategic
change in that organisation.
For AC1.1, learners need to show that they understand the different approaches to models of change management.
They need to discuss a minimum of three established models, highlighting the differences in approach.
For AC1.2, in the introduction to their report learners need to evaluate the relevance of the models of strategic
change, using examples from organisations. They need to explain why the models for change are appropriate in
their selected examples.
For AC1.3, learners will be expected to assess the value of using strategic intervention techniques that are used in
organisations. These need to be applied to the organisation in their report.
For AC 2.1 and 2.2, it is expected that learners will show an understanding of the forces that are impacting on an
organisation and driving the need for change. Showing understanding needs to be more than just a list of forces and
change drivers. Learners need to demonstrate that they have researched and examined the current position of the
organisation and that they are able to assess the factors in the organisation that are driving the need for change.
For AC2.3, learners need to assess the resource implications of the organisation not responding to change. It is
expected that learners will assess the relevant financial, human and physical resources. They are not expected to cost
the resource implications for the organisation.
For AC3.1, learners need to develop systems to involve stakeholders in the planning of change. The systems
need to be appropriate and workable in the selected organisation.
For AC3.2, learners need to show that they understand the different strategies that are available in the process of
change management. They need to develop an appropriate strategy for change in the selected organisation and
show how they would involve stakeholders in the development of this strategy.
For AC3.3, learners need to make judgements on the effectiveness of the systems used to involve stakeholders in
the development of a change strategy. They need to evaluate the process, taking account of anything that worked
well and anything that did not work well or could have worked better.
For AC3.4, learners need to show that they recognise that resistance to change can show itself in different ways. If
managed badly, resistance can become entrenched and spread throughout the organisation. Learners need to create
a strategy for managing resistance to change that is appropriate to their selected organisation. It needs to address
the issues and provide a workable approach to overcome the resistance.
For AC4.1, learners need to develop appropriate models for ongoing change in their selected organisation. The
models need to reflect the circumstances facing the organisation.
For AC4.2, learners need to show how they would plan to implement the model for change in their selected
organisation. Internal and external circumstances impacting on the organisation also need to be considered.
For AC4.3, learners need to develop measures to monitor the progress of the change model once it is launched. The
measures will need to be practical, workable and appropriate to the organisational context.

1.What information about the influences of gonadal hormones on human brain and behaviour is presently able to inform the debate about the medical treatment of individuals with ambiguous genitalia, according to Melissa Hines in “Engendering the Brain” from her book Brain gender?
Select one:
a. In cases where chromosomal and hormonal information conflict, chromosomes should not guide sex assignment as current information about the influences of gonadal hormones on human brain and behaviour suggests that hormones play the greater role in physical and psychological development
b. information about the influences of gonadal hormones on human brain and behaviour from other cultures suggests that the capacity of the United States and Western Europe to accommodate a category of people who are intersex should be extended by not assigning an intersex child as either a girl or a boy
c. information about the differences in the male and female brain identify neural characteristics that predispose a person to greater success in one sex versus the other, identifying and preventing the causes of poor outcomes in sex assignment
d. information about the influences of gonadal hormones on human brain and behaviour from those intersex individuals who have grown up without sex assignment or surgery provide a basis for evaluating whether or not these options are viable for intersex individuals in Western cultures
2. What does Melissa Hines decide on the question of male hormones making men aggressive and limiting their ability to nurture?
Select one:
a. The link between testosterone and behaviour is large compared to the influence of social environment, and the research is very conclusive; male hormones have a determining influence on behaviour.
b. The link between testosterone and behaviour is small compared to the social environment, but the research is conclusive: the male hormone androgen has an absolute determining influence on behaviour.
c. Research results are completely conclusive; questionnaire responses translate into an increase in actual aggressive behaviour.
d. The link between testosterone and behaviour is small compared to the influence of social environment, and the research is inconclusive; male hormones may have some influence on behaviour, but they are not deterministic.
3. What distinguishes popular magazines like Cosmopolitan from the scientific literature in their framing presentation of sociobiological arguments about the differences between men and women, according to Amy Hasinoff in her article ‘It’s sociobiology, hon! Genetic gender determinism in Cosmopolitan Magazine’ (2009)?
Select one:
a. Popular magazines like Cosmopolitan misrepresent sociobiological arguments, giving false accounts of the research findings, confounding variables or spreading alternative explanations to the proper ones offered in the scientific literature of sociobiology.
b. Popular magazines like Cosmopolitan present sociobiological arguments in a way that ties them to a self-help rhetoric that encourages women to see their problems as inevitable and solve them on their own.
c. Popular magazines like Cosmopolitan are less genetically determinist and more cautiously worded in their presentation of sociobiological arguments than the scientific literature on sociobiology.
d. Popular magazines like Cosmopolitan cannot be distinguished from the scientific literature as they get all their sociobiological arguments from the academic papers, which they generally represent accurately.
