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):

State the topic and intent of the paper.

Identify the two threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.

Section I. Threat 1

Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.

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.

Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

Section II. Threat 2

Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.

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.

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

Your paper may consist of up to four pages (not including the cover or reference pages).

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.

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. A list of potential resources is available at the end of this course guide.

Introduction
The twenty-first century is considered a threat to the global environment where several factors are included. Changing of climate, globalization, deforestation, lack of educational opportunities, cultural taboos, inappropriate use of technology are those factors. One of the reasons behind these threats is the rapid growth of the population.
Soil, water and atmosphere are the most essential components of living in the environment. Proper conditions are needed to live sustainably. But with the advancement of science and technology, urbanization, industrialization; the environment is getting affected and continuously creating a threat globally. A huge number of animals and plants are getting obsolete due to the loss of habitat. Recent reports have shown that human activities are the reasons behind these environmental threats. Scientists have stated that various types of species might become obsolete within the coming years. In this article, two types of threats such as inappropriate use of technology and cultural taboos will be discussed elaborately.
Section I.
Threat 1. Inappropriate use of Technology
With the advancement of technology, the environment has been affected rapidly. The three main bad impacts of technology on the environment are discussed. First one is environmental pollution that creates from the waste of manufacturing industries which are mainly non-renewable resources. For example, using electronic gadgets or computers which become outdated or broken get thrown known as techno trash (Fox, 2018). These gadgets can contain dangerous materials which are completely unsafe for the environment. Global warming is the second one caused by the use of inappropriate technology. Ecological imbalances are also created due to the technological use which is considered as the third one.
The increased production in the processing and manufacturing industries are the important causes of environmental pollution.
