=EDER 631.20 L10 Globalization and Human Rights.=

Saturday Evening (June 2, 2012 at 7 PM)
=== Hey Brendan, I have combined the word documents as below. Have a boo at it and we can discuss if you wish. If you are okay with it, I will have one more look over it tomorrow and then upload it into the Bb course. === **Doug**



Week Four Questions:

 * Drafts;**


 * 1 ) Like the economic split described by Pogge in last week's readings, the use of resources also skewed toward North American over usage. It naturally follows that if we can reduce our global footprint we can help reduce the need to take the resources of other countries. What steps are necessary to educate North Americans to use less?**

Hey Brendan, I added a number of words. You may wish to remove the majority of line 4 if you think it is too leading in asking for a type of answer. Doug


 * 2 ) Clover's article suggests that society has been educated since the early 50's to over-consume, which creates greater demand,** ** and drives up corporate profits. This practice has led to massive ecological imbalances** ** across the world as** **more resources are** ** created and consumed for just 10% of the world's population.** ** What steps do you feel are necessary to re-educate the consumer to ****reduce** **further** **imbalances**?


 * Scandrett et al discuss the extensive amount of learning that occurs, formally and informally, when a person joins and is active in a social justice movement. Please explain your understanding as to how this learning experience takes place. You may want to give a brief example which supports your explanation, if you have experienced this phenomenon. **

 * Ettore Gelpi is described by Scandrett et al (2010) (wk4.2 reading) as a pioneer in connecting the environment and social justice. How can Canadian educators use this research to explore, with their students, the connection and results of learning from social justice work relating to the environment? **
