Question

Most environmental issues involve a debate over whether a problem exists or what is the best solution to the problem. In this paper you will examine and suggest a resolution to a currently debated issue concerning the environment or natural resource conservation.

Search the internet, magazines, newspapers and find an environmental issue that is currently being publicly debated. Make sure that you can find information from organizations on both sides of the issue. Examples of such an issue would be whether to allow oil exploration and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska or whether hand fishing (noodling) should be allowed in Missouri. You CANNOT use these issues but there are literally hundreds of other issues out there. 2.The first part of your paper will deal with a presentation of arguments from groups or individuals on both sides of the issue. At this point you do not take sides, think of yourself as a news reporter and just report their arguments. 3.The second part of the paper will deal with an analysis of the arguments. You will analyze positions on both sides of the issue and describe both the merits and faults of the positions from both sides of the issue. This analysis will be based on specific information gathered from your sources so citation of these sources is critical (see information on citations below). 4.In the third part of the paper you decide what would be the best course of action to solve this controversy. Base your argument on your analysis and on the principles described in the course. You may reiterate the arguments presented in the first part of the paper, but be sure to include why you feel this would be an appropriate course of action. Label the three sections of your paper as follows: I. Introduction to the issue and arguments from both sides. II. Analysis of arguments. III. Proposed solution. Parts II and III of your paper must be a minimum of 500 words. Cite within the paper all sources of information. You must have a minimum of 4 sources. Sources may include articles from scientific magazines/journals, newspapers, magazines, web based news outlets, organization's web sites, or any other source of information. The paper will be 1000 - 1400 words not including the literature cited page.
