Your initial post should have two parts.1. First, post a media-based meme, image macro, or animated gif (I’m assuming you all know what these are, but in case you don’t, click on the terms for definitions) that you think communicates the concept, or shows some aspect/example of, settler colonialism or post-colonialism. You may post a pre-existing meme/macro/gif or make one yourself. Then, explain (in ~100-150 words, or more if you’d like) how your chosen meme/macro/gif embodies this concept. It doesn’t have to be a long or elaborate explanation, but it does need to clearly state and rationalize how/why the meme/macro/gif is related to settler colonialism or post-colonialism.*Note: you can add links to things like a Tweet or a TikTok, but in order to directly embed multimedia to your post, select “Reply” and click”Advanced”, then use the “Insert or edit image” or “Insert an audio/video file” button (located above the reply text box, near the right side).2. Second, pose a discussion question or two drawing from any of the readings: provide a substantive question for discussion; that is, do not postquestions that can be answered in full with a “yes/no”, a list of things, or a direct quote from the text.This week’s readings:1.

Step 1:Develop a thesis statement. It is important that the thesis statement can be effectively supported in the amount of space you have. In other words, be specific!Step 2:Find material that supports your argument. Because this is going to be such a short essay you are really only looking for 1-3 journal articles. Hint: The internet is great (specifically Wikipedia – they list references 🙂 when developing your thesis statement and figuring out where to look for the supporting information.Step 3:Work up a bullet form essay outline. The outline contains the idea of the thesis statement, the list of supporting evidence, and the idea for the concluding statement.Step 4:Write the essay. Max 250 words.

Task 1 ) Main Discussion Question:  As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 5: Climate Change, reputable scientific studies continue to show that the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of CO2 and methane gases.  These chapters are provided in the EChapter section of the Course Homepage:  Please answer the following the following questions: Task 1) What is the relationship between population increase and climate change? 2) Discuss possible benefits and/or negative consequences of intentional governmental control of an individual or couple’s decision to have children.  Task 2) From the “World Bank 2020 List of Developing Countries” (See the Course Info section), select  at least ONE developing country (that might interest you for the Week 4 Assignment).  Post the name of the developing country (to this discussion).   I chose Zambia as developing country for my week 4 assignment.
