. Using an example of one of the “isms” (i.e. racism) in your discussion, explain the difference between stereotyping behaviors, prejudice, and discrimination. Why are humans “hard wired” to behavior this way? How can we counteract these tendencies in our attitudes and behaviors?

1. Human Impact/Conservation

Okay...you’ve (hopefully) learned a lot about biology this semester. We have gone

from atoms, molecules, and cells through organisms and homeostasis, to populations,

communities, and ecosystems. Whew! Even though we started small, we still addressed

larger topics early on. Conversely, now that we have ended our intellectual journey with

ecosystems, we have circled back to talk about elements and molecules and cells. Over

the last couple of lectures, we have talked about human impact and conservation issues

that are challenging the global community.

1a. Of the human impact issues we talked about in class over the last week or two,

take one of them further.

• Clearly identify the issue you will be focusing on, and explain why

it is an important issue to address.

• Explain the biological principles addressed with this kind of

human impact.

• Examine what the natural order of things would be like without

humans being a part of the picture

• Next, re-insert humans into the picture. Identify the normal

biological properties that are impacted by this human activity,

and explain the impact disruption.

the issue would be deforestation.

In your answer, be sure to use specific biological examples and facts from your

notes and text. Use your new-found knowledge by applying it to show the

scientific basis behind one of the environmental crises our planet faces.

1b. Okay, now that the problem is identified and the nature of the disturbance is

explained, let’s talk solutions.

• How would you resolve this issue? What kind of societal things

can you install to bring about solution? Be practical in your

response. Identify stakeholders in the problem/solution, and the

(sometimes) competing interests

• Using what you know from this course (your notes and text),

explain how your above solution(s) resolve the underlying

biological problem(s).

In your answer, be sure to use specific biological examples and facts from your

notes and text. Use your new-found knowledge by applying it to show the

scientific basis behind a solution to one of the environmental crises our planet

faces.
