Week 6 Discussion: Can the Global Problem of Water and Food Shortage be Solved?
The topic of this week’s Discussion Forum is the global shortage of water and food. After you read all of the materials associated with this week's topic, you probably will have formulated your own personal opinion about the following issue: can the global community solve the problem of water and food shortage?
For this discussion, express your opinion from one of these sides:
- "Yes, the global community can solve the problem of water and food shortage" or
- "No, it cannot solve this problem"
Please provide arguments explaining your position.
If both opinions are present in the discussion, we will have a real debate on the issues of water and food scarcity.
Please remember that all submitted posts: essays, discussion forum and journal reflection posts you can use in your Final Research paper. Please save all your posts.
Discussion Expectations
- Visit the Forum site at least twice a week during two different days of this week and make a minimum of two direct responses to your peers. The responses should be well thought out and present relative information that has not already been posted.
- Post a minimum of two responses to your peers and show where you agree or disagree with their analysis and explain why. Be sure your posts are relative and succinct.
- As I read each week's posts, I will be looking at the content of the posting as well as the overall subject matter. I am looking for quality of the post vs. the quantity of words of your posts.
