After watching the movie, The Merchants of Doubt (link on the class web site), answer three of
the following seven questions. Each answer must be at least 250 words long. While you can
include your opinion, your answers should be primarily fact-based, drawing on the content of the
movie and material in readings. You may (but are not obligated to) refer to outside sources (e.g.
a newspaper story youve read).
1. How is public opinion about climate change created/influenced?
2. What role do think tanks and conservative groups have in influencing public opinion? How?
3. What role do journalists have? Do they live up to their obligations?
4. In what way (and with what effect) does the movie draw parallels between climate change
and other industries/public health issues?
5. What role do scientists have in informing the public about climate change? How well are
they doing it and how could they improve?
6. Why do you think many people tend to reject scientific truths predicting future harm when
such truths threaten the status quo or call into question the sustainability of certain
economic and cultural habits and values?
7. What role should governments and politicians play in dealing with the effects of global
warming?

The paper will be about a country in the world that you choose. Please feel free to select a country you have an interest in and would want to move to study. The paper will consist of at least 2,000 words using the APA writing style. The paper will consist of 4 sections:
Physical Geography: This section will address the physical characteristics of the country selected. The types of characteristics that should be discussed are things like landforms, climate, resources, altitude, etc. This section will provide a good background site of the country and its habitability.
Cultural Geography: This section of the paper will address the cultural characteristics of the country selected. In this section, you should discuss such man related characteristics as the languages spoken in the country, religious practices of the inhabitants, foods, music, dress customs, etc.
Political Geography: In this section, you will discuss how the country is managed. Does a president, king, or prime minister administer the country? Also, what type of world & regional organizations do they participate in, i.e. United Nations, NATO, etc. What are the political relationships with their neighboring countries?
The Future of the Country: In this section of the paper, discuss what you think the future holds for this country. Your perception of their future should be based upon what you discovered about their cultural, physical, and political geography. There is no set answer to this portion of the paper, but your reply should be a result of the makeup of the geography of the country that you have discovered.
Use at least 6 references, with a list of them included with your paper.
This is video response assignment.
so I want you to create a speech script what I should say in video. so it can be verballyunlike actual essay.
I’ve attached the two readings. Those readings focused on the history of US environmental policy and politics. The Kraft article traces a thirty year time period where a great deal of our modern day environmental policy was passed.
The Layzer book, which you are reading a chapter THREE, traces the ongoing tension between environmental policymaking and conservative politics. This particular chapter is focused on the 1970s and 1980s, following the backlash to the so-called “environmental decade” of the 1960s.
To gain an understanding of the electric fields for point charge and superposition of electric field due a distribution of charges.
Use the site https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/charges-and-fields/latest/charges-and-fields_en.html (Links to an external site.)
A) Electric field for a point charge:
First turn on the Grid and turn off all the other options in the simulation. Each small square box is 10 cm on each side.
Choose a coordinate system so that you can conveniently find all four quadrants.
Place a +1nC point charge at the origin. Using the sensor, find out the magnitude of the electric field at (120,200) cm, (-300,100) cm, (-50,-50) cm, (400, 150) cm and (300, -100) cm. Calculate the distances and plot the magnitude of electric field (E) vs the LaTeX: frac{1}{distance^2}(frac{1}{r^2}) 1 d i s t a n c e 2 ( 1 r 2 ) . Find out the slope of the graph. Take the ratio of the slope with the point charge. Explain your result.
Note down the directions of the electric field at each point. How would you describe the direction of the electric fields for all the points with a simple statement?
Take a screenshot and add in your report.
B) Electric field for a dipole:
Choose a coordinate system so that you can conveniently find big enough first quadrant.
Place a +1nC and a -1nC point charges at the origin, 10 cm apart from each other along x axis. Using the sensor, find out the magnitude of the electric field at (0, 250) cm, (0, 200) cm, (0,300) cm, (0, 350) cm. Calculate the distances and plot the magnitude of electric field vs LaTeX: frac{1}{distance^3}(frac{1}{r^3}) 1 d i s t a n c e 3 ( 1 r 3 )
. Curve fit with the best fitting trendline using Microsoft excel (verify with your instructor). Find the slope and take a ratio with the point charge. Compare with the result of part (A). Is it same? If not, by what factor it is different? explain your result.

C) Electric field for a dipole:
Choose a coordinate system so that you can conveniently find big enough first quadrant.
Place a +1nC and a -1nC point charges at the origin, 10 cm apart from each other along the x axis. Using the sensor, find out the magnitude of the electric field at (250, 0) cm, (200, 0) cm, (300, 0) cm, (350, 0) cm. Calculate the distances and plot the magnitude of electric field (E) vs LaTeX: frac{1}{distance^3}(frac{1}{r^3}) 1 d i s t a n c e 3 ( 1 r 3 )
. Curve fit with the best fitting trendline using Microsoft excel (verify with your instructor). Find the slope and take a ratio with the 1 nC charge. Compare with the result of part (A). Is it same? If not, by what factor it is different? explain your result.
Note down the directions of the electric field at each point. How would you describe the direction of the electric field?
Take a screenshot and add in your report.
D) Distribution of charges:
The charges shown are held in electrostatic equilibrium and are centered at the origin of an XY system.
Draw the electric field vectors at the center on a piece of paper, showing the field vectors due to each charge and the net electric field. Be neat, explain your steps, making arguments where needed. Discuss the symmetry (if any) of the distribution.
Choose the values a = 0.60 m, b = 1.0 m, and q = 1.00 nC.

Calculate the net electric filed at the origin, and compare this quantitative result with your qualitative result from part 1.
AFTER you have sketched the lines to the best of your ability, go to the Phet simulation and create the charge configuration shown in the figure. Screenshot and paste the result in your report. https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/charges-and-fields/latest/charges-and-fields_en.html (Links to an external site.)
Discuss any differences you may have between your drawing of the electric field and the simulation. Dont cheat!
Part E: Electric Field Hockey:
Beat the Game! Copy and paste images of your victory using print screen into your lab report. Shrink them so they all fit on one page.

Main Purpose: comparative, critical, and annotated observation
. Focusing on the hidden histories of aboriginal settlement in the Toronto area, the virtual Great Indian
Bus Tour will expose you to a cross-section of central Toronto: the various residential, industrial,
commercial, transportation and leisure spaces built from the middle of the 19th century to now. How are
these various modern urban forms different from pre-colonial aboriginal settlement? How do
these modern forms hide or reveal aboriginal history from us? For these purposes, use the (1)
notes you take during the virtual tour, (2) the lecture notes from week 2, 3 and 4 (3) the required texts for
the weeks of September 24 (Freeman, Johnson) and (optional) the recommended texts of the same week.
