CMAF 3640 Media, Technology, and the Environment
Response Paper # 1
Due: October 6, 2022 (Blackboard Drop-Box)
Your submission should be a 700-800-word response that answers the following question:
In the reading assigned for Week Three, Jim Stanford deconstructs the apparent opposition between economic growth and the environment. Drawing from the ideas he presents, as well as those covered in the corresponding lecture, and in the podcast assigned for Week Three (‘Is our obsession with GDP killing the climate?’), discuss where you fit into these analyses. Do you see yourself as being able to make a difference? Are your choices in the future likely to be influenced by the considerations covered in this week’s materials? How so? Or, why not?
Use this paper to show that you have reviewed all of the content mentioned in the question AND that you have given it careful and critical consideration. The paper should be typed, double-spaced, and should provide your comments in full prose (not in point form). Make specific reference to ideas from the reading/podcast/lecture and provide references in APA format, whether for an idea or a quotation.
Please provide a word count as the final line of your paper!
A grading rubric will be posted in Blackboard with the assignment. This paper is worth 15% of your course grade.
