Assignment: Analysis on the Threats Defense Argument
Overview: The information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.
Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.
Instructions: Step I. Consider the Issues
In the Presentation on the Threats to the Global Environment, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided:
• Energy sources.
• Globalization.
• Lack of educational opportunities.
• Inappropriate use of technology.
• Civil war.
• Poor health of entire population.
• Cultural taboos.
• Climate change.
There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on two of those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:
• Review the remaining four threats that you did not use in Presentation on the Threats to the Global Environment.
• Pick two of the four to focus on in Analysis on the Threats Defense Argument assignment.
• Identify the reasons why you think these two threats are less critical than the four threats you chose for your PowerPoint presentation.
Step II. Prepare Your Report
The U.N. has given you the following guidelines.
Introduction: Briefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words):
1. State the topic and intent of the paper.
2. Identify the two threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.
Section I. Threat 1
1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
2. Write one page giving three reasons that explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in the Presentation on the Threats to the Global Environment assignment.
3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.
Section II. Threat 2
1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
2. Write one page giving three reasons to explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in the Presentation on the Threats to the Global Environment assignment.
3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.
Conclusion: • Offer a summary (one page or less) of your defense of your choices that the United Nations can use to address their prioritization concerns.
Formatting Requirements: 1. Your paper may consist of up to four pages (not including the cover or reference pages).
2. Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:
• Introduction.
• Threat 1 (include the name of your chosen threat).
• Threat 2 (include the name of your chosen threat).
• Conclusion.
3. Use and cite 4-6 credible sources in your analysis. You may use the same source for more than one threat as long as you use a minimum of four different sources.
