Goals: Problem Solving and Population Reference Bureau

Abstract To prepare for solving a conundrum, we essential first acknowledge that the problem exists. Then, we must accept it, and clearly define or identify it. Finally, we must commit to solving the problem. Without some period of personal commitment, the problems that we acknowledge, accept, and identify might never be resolved. 1. using a current local or international newspaper, identify an important local, national, or international lodge in that unavoidablenesss to be solved.Use the Library and development Resources Net flirt (LIRN) link by clicking here to locate two or more credible articles that bear background information and an analysis of the problem. You can also access LIRN in your online course by clicking on Course Home tab, then the Online Resources link. Contact your Campus for your LIRN password. 3. Using the articles you found as a resource, explain the concern using the five Problem Solving Methods found on page 104 of your textbook. Use Microsoft Word to answer to your problem.Your response should consist of 1-2 pages. Cite your articles using APA guidelines. Visit the APA Guide for assistance with APA formatting. Week Two one-on-one Work (1) Introduction Using the articles I found as a resource, I am acquittance to explain the concern using the five Problem Solving Methods. This is a big issue and I call up we should all be actively trying to solve this issue. Environmental Problems I am spill to be discussing environmental problems. I will use the problem solving methods as they are sketch in our text.Problem- Solving Method (Advanced) bill 1 What is the problem? a. What do I know well-nigh the situation? b. What results am I aiming for in this situation? c. How can I define the problem? Step 2 What are the alternatives? a. What are the boundaries of the problem situation? b. What alternatives are possible within these boundaries? Step 3 What are the advantages and/ or disadvantages of each alternative? a. What are the ad vantages of each alternative? b. What are the disadvantages of each alternative? c.What annexitional information do I take on to evaluate each alternative? Step 4 What is the solution? a. Which alternative(s) will I pursue? b. What steps can I take to act on the alternative(s) chosen? Step 5 How well is the solution mildewing? a. What is my evaluation? b. What adjustments are necessary? (Chafee) The problem is environmental problems, such as we squander been polluting our planets bank line, water, and land depleting its resources and accumulating a lot of use up for which we need to find places to store.I know this situation needs to be suppressed on some take because if we continue at this rate, then our environment will not be fit to live in. We arrive 6. 8 billion people on Earth today (Population Reference Bureau, 2009) and all of these people need food, water, clothing, and shelter. In addition to these minimal needs to survive, millions of people in developed nations stool cars, large homes, melodic line conditioning, heated houses, washers, dryers, heated water for bathing, refrigerators, stoves, and so on.Hence, having nearly 7 billion people on Earth, compared to 5.2 billion people just 20 years ago (Population Reference Bureau, 1990), and having many people with a senior high school standard of living, means that we humans will pollute a lot, deplete a lot, and build up huge amounts of waste that need to be stored. A second major reason why we have a big problem of polluting, depleting, and storing of waste is that during the past 200 years, we have gone from an agricultural behavior of life to an industrial way of life. Instead of living off the land, growing grain to eat, and tending to maturate animals, we builtfactories and machines and created a new status called the factory worker to produce all kinds of products to consumeas a stroll through a typical shopping mall will show.To create these products, we have used a lot of resource s and polluted the air and rivers. One of the most dangerous consequences of our polluting the environment is that we add huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as the result of burning fossil fuels, such as crude and gas, by industries and automobiles.The result is the warming of our planet and the possible change of Earths climate, which could wreak slaughter for the growing seasons. What can we do about this? More and more people are coming to the actualisation that we must consider the long term, what is good for the global community, and what is good for future generations if we want to survive as a species. This will require us to think, plan, sacrifice, and change our ways of living. Many people in our country, and throughout the world, do not realize the seriousness of our environmental problem.Hence, part of the solution is to make Americans more witting of the problem and to educate them about the problem. We must find ways to give these Americans incentives so that they want to lot the environmental problem or at least accept the notion that we must address this problem, unheeding of their vested interests. The environmental problem will not go away by denying its existence or by denying that it is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. The oceans and the air are common property that we all share.If air and water pollution stayed only in the country that produced it, the nation producing this pollution could take the initiative and accountability to clean up the pollution it produced. But air and water pollution does not stop at state boundaries rather it spreads throughout the world. We as citizens of this world, not just citizens of a nation, will need to work together to clean up our oceans and air. Probably, we will eventually need to agree on some oecumenical goals for the planet. We have been moving in this direction by attempting to decrease carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbon emissions.We will likely need to make saving o ur environment one of the main goals of our world community. Within this goal, we will need to agree on more specific goals such as decreasing carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and chlorofluorocarbons change magnitude the amount of rainforest finding new, better, and safer ways of storing hazardous waste and producing more energy without polluting more, depleting more, and creating more waste. determination This is an issue we must all lay out together. We must realize that there is a problem and work on long term goals to correct this problem.Eventually, we may be able to turn this around. However, we must think long term, not only think about the here and now. Probably, a severalise factor, if not the key factor, in solving our environmental problem is time. Can we, as a world community, act short enough to head off environmental trends that could be difficult, if not impossible, to reversefor example, rising carbon dioxide emissions lead to rising temperatures, melting glacier s, rising sea levels, and changing cli- mate patterns throughout the world? We must face this with a sense of urgency.
