Assignments

Read 3-4 books

*Philosophy paper* due Friday June 13 if not done already.

*For the historical assignment.* 5 or more pages. Due Saturday June 21. recommend doing it by June 15.
*Plan A*
If academia hasn't entirely destroyed your curiosity, please explore a question that came up for you during the first 3 days about an issue or NGO. Several questions were mentioned in class, such as are there international versions of these groups, and what are they doing in other countries? What NGOs were involved in the DDT controversy? What NGOs were involved in Air pollution issues. there were many others. I don't know all the answers, so please look into one of these questions that came up for you, with focus on NGOs.
*Plan B*
We discussed using the internship day format also. this is ok, but I prefer plan "A".
The idea of researching background issue for internship day fits into either plan. ie: ZPG and shadow of population group.


*Internship/shadowing day.* Let's stick to the agreed upon format for oral and written report:
15-20 minute oral report for June 21
Written report due June 29th.
5 or more pages.
