Global Concerns Post-Cold War: MicroTeaching Lesson

5/18/2015

32 Comments

 
I’ve a fantastic way for you to both celebrate and flex that sharply-trained historical perspective you have worked so hard developing throughout this course. As per our learning community goals, this MicroTeach lesson is the most efficient and beneficial approach to cover a wide breath of subject matter in a short allotment of time all-the-while stimulating and enticing one’s audience to learn and do more on their own at a later time. This is not a presentation; it is a micro (small) teaching lesson (where a lesson is taught). You have 7 to 10 minutes; I will need to adhere to a strict cutoff unless you are rocking my stinking socks off. You have a few ways in which to satisfy the main requirement of this MicroTeach lesson (remember, “teaching” can happen in many settings):

1. Drones - Kassandra C.
2. Palestinian / Israeli Conflict (including Egyptian Wars) - Michael B.
3. Russian / Ukrainian Conflict - Kaimen D.
4. Human population / Green Revolution / GMO’s / Food Printing - Celine C.
5. Nuclear proliferation - Sarah S.
6. Human-caused global warming  / Earth’s water crisis - Hannah W
7. ISis – Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Syrian Conflict / Iran and “West”) - Kaylee R.
8. Genocides of Africa (Rwanda) / Diamond mining in Africa / Boko Haram - Adryana M.
9. Digital Divide: Internet legislation in USA and allies (Free for 3rd World?) - Gary G.
10. Edward Snowden - Chance D.
11. Species Extinction: Bees and Tuna - Caleb G.
12. Income disparity in USA and World - Ariel J.
13. Global Recession and Corporate Bailouts of ‘07 - "C"
14. New Pope - Alexis R.
15. Indian Ocean Earthquake in ’04 / I.O. Piracy - Danny R.
16. America’s War on Drugs - Cheyenne L. 
17. European Union / Greece - Patrick
18. Human trafficking - Ariadna P.
19. China post-Mao / Tienanmen Square in China - Wendy X.
20. Military-Industrial Complex - Erik D.
21.Tesla / Elon Musk and “Future” Corporations - Dalton L. 
22. Apartheid in S. Africa - Brandon A.
23. India since independence / Pakistan Relations - Angela S.
24. Standardized testing in American schools: The Commodification of Education - Christina P.
25. North Korea - Fabian K.
26. Oil Extraction: US Dakotas and Alaska and Canadian Pipeline - Jazzmon
27. USA’s War on Terror / September 11th attacks (including Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay) - Sherer

I have researched this subject before and I feel very strongly about it. For as you have noticed, every time we talk of women's suffering I start to twitch. I also want to further look for solutions to this problem.
