Reference no: EM133192087 , Length: Word count: 650 words

Assignment Discussion:

Objectives:

Discussions will help students demonstrate their ability to communicate
Discussions will give students an opportunity to integrate and apply what they have learned from lectures notes, readings and research with other scientific literature and popular media to analyze relevant topics to the Canadian North
Discussions will give students an opportunity to practice research skills

Description:

The idea is that answers and replies will keep the discussion moving forward and not just repeat the same answers and information. Therefore, students need to ensure they have read their assigned discussion forum before they post to make sure what they post is a useful contribution to the overall conversation. Student discussion should go beyond restating what is said in scientific and news articles and instead demonstrate an ability to assess literature and integrate related concepts.

Now, pretend you are a Laurier grad who has taken a job in Yellowknife and now after a year of employment you are considering a job opportunity back in Waterloo. What would be the push and pull factors that would make you consider the move back south?

Discussion #4: After reading through the reports linked to in the lecture notes on the relocation of High Arctic groups, share your thoughts on the key arguments for and against relocation.

Discussion #5: After reading through this material on the pipelines - what do you feel is the potential of developing these deposits? Do you think economic returns outweigh the potential impacts on social and environmental systems? Also consider how the viewpoints of First Nations towards economic development may have changed since the Berger Report. This has led to conflicts between various northern groups.
