Kolbert, Elizabeth. The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History. New York: Picador, 2014

In the chapters we read for today, Kolbert further discusses the impact of humans on various species, and how it differs from non-human impact. We’re now in a human-focused time, she writes, and geologists and other scientists want to recognize that officially. Why is Paul Crutzen insistent that our current epoch is the Anthropocene and no longer the Holocene? Use at least three examples from the reading in your discussion.

Additionally, we read about the underwater volcanic vents near Ischia and how they release carbon dioxide into the nearby sea, making it more acidic. This is a naturally occurring phenomenon, but Kolbert reminds us of all the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere, which also affects the oceans on a much wider scale. Is there a way for us to slow the acidification of the oceans, or are we too close to the tipping point? Finally, we may be living in the Anthropocene, but do you think humans have a place in the natural balance? Or is the balance completely thrown off? Again, are we overstepping our bounds with our impact on the planet?

DC (QP) – Discussion Question 1 – CLA2 Preparation & Course Learning Outcomes

Welcome to week 5 of your course. This discussion question will help you prepare for your CLA2 paper and final CLA2 PPP and as such, will have a fair amount of detail. Read the CLA2 assignment listed in week 8 of the course in your Syllabus. Then, please provide an outline that itemizes the concepts that you will include in your CLA2 paper and final PPt. Please be sure to include concepts learned in the course and information (findings, conclusions) from your PA1 and CLA1, papers. Provide some brief details for each item that is outlined. Please keep in mind that you should have place-holders for material not yet covered in lecture from week 6 and 7. Here is an itemized list that summarizes the requirements of this DQ (include every item in the bullet list below, or you will not receive full credit):

● Outline that itemizes concepts learned in the course

● Include information (findings, conclusions) from your PA1 and CLA1.

***For the attached scenario, write a 100-200 word discussion post with some sort of descriptive thread title, that fully describes:***

• What you feel could have been the root cause of each of the variances

( i.e., price and quantity)

• Based on your answer above, what would you, as a manager or owner, do about it?

(Be very specific, not just “do better”!)

***Also respond to two other classmates’ posts! Will provide the postings in comments.***

Points will be earned if (and only if):

• You post a substantive original post meeting the word requirements, appropriate specifics, plausibility.
• You appear to understand and be able to clearly communicate the concepts of what each type of variance could indicate.
• You appear to have tried to come up with an original underlying reason for the variances (i.e., not just used the exact same reason already posted in someone else’s thread, and also not just something like “the variance is $200 because it is the difference between $1,600 and $1,800”).

Points will be deducted accordingly based on any deficiencies (variances?) of the above

Based on the results of below given research study, please explain following points;

‘Variations in health: What can the Department of Health and the NHS do?

1. Discuss the kinds of explanation for these observed variations in life expectancy

– Life expectancy at birth is currently around seven years higher in the registrar General’s social class I than in social class V.

– Children in social class V are four times more likely to suffer accidental death than their peers in social class I;

– Of the sixty-six major causes of death in men, sixty-two were more common among those in social classes IV and V combined than in other social classes;

– Of the seventy major causes of death in women, sixty-four were more common in women married to men in social classes IV and V;

-Women in social class I have a registered incidence of breast cancer 1.5 times higher than women in social class V.

1. Could it be argued that the lower social classes are responsible for their higher mortality rates? What alternative explanations can you give?
