Explain the role of history in shaping current circumstances
Scenario
You work for Agua Sin Fronteras (ASF, or “Water without Borders”), an international nonprofit committed to providing access to clean drinking water, improving sanitation facilities, and delivering health education programs around the globe.
Dr. Paige Turner, a historian, has asked ASF for help writing a policy brief for the United Nations (UN). Dr. Turner’s organization gives presentations about the history of current issues.
Since ASF has studied issues like climate change, pollution, and deforestation for a long time, she wants to collaborate. Your supervisor, Sue Edge, knows you’re interested in history and has asked you to work with Dr. Turner on the presentation.
Directions
During your first meeting, Dr. Turner was so impressed by your enthusiasm that she asked you to create part of the presentation for the United Nations.
Use the following directions to guide your historical analysis and develop your presentation.
Choose the issue that you want to investigate for your presentation. Select one issue from the following list to research:
Climate change
Pollution
Deforestation
Research your issue.Read and analyze the resources about your chosen issue in the the Primary and Secondary Sources for United Nations Briefing PDF document. These resources provide important historical context for current discussions about these issues that you’ll want to discuss in your presentation.
Note: You can do some of your own research to add to the resources provided. If you decide to do so, make sure that you choose reliable sources.

How did you analyze primary and secondary sources on the issue? What questions did you ask about the documents?
How did you identify the facts to make your point? What did you learn from the documents about the history of your issue?
Analyze your issue.
What is the history of the issue? Describe the issue based on your analysis of the primary and secondary sources that you researched.

Instructions
Directions:
Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it
to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in
complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and
grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be
four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” link on the
course homepage for specific format requirements.
In your course,
turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next,
carefully study and review the section titled “Measuring Technological
Progress.”
Use your own words to write a short
compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct
perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you
are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short,
write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to
alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more
readable.
Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Mei Quoran
Your essay should include five paragraphs, as follows:
Paragraph
1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have
to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski,
Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of
technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph
5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, you’ll compare the three
perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast
the three perspectives to describe how they’re different. You’ll end
this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of
these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the
evolution of technology, in your opinion.
Use direct quotes
from your reading to support your ideas, but don’t use too many. One to
three such quotes should be your limit. This means that you must include
citations and a reference page. Be sure to put a direct quote in
quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is
both our friend and our enemy.” Also, be sure to include a citation for
any material you paraphrase.
Begin by writing a first draft. Then,
edit and rework your material to make it clear and concise. After you
have reached a final draft, proofread the essay one last time to locate
and correct grammar and spelling errors.
