What are the historical trends in population growth? What impact does population growth have on resources and international conflict? What policies have states adopted to deal with population growth?
 
  Analyze the success of those polices and whether there other approaches that might be more successful.
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Few effective international agreements have been reached to solve the problem of global warming. Given the severe difficulties associated with managing this problem, what creative international solutions can you think of?
 
  What would be the strengths and weaknesses of your solutions in the short term and in the long term?

Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Outline the historical trends in population growth, taking into account the mechanistic continuing expansion of the global population.
2. Explain how resources and international conflict are impacted by population growth.For instance, not only will water resources potentially dwindle, they will, in turn, be fought over.
3. Discuss policies, such as China's one child policy, adopted by states to deal with population growth.
4. Explore how well those policies are working, and /or present alternative approaches. Again, China's one child policy, and the citizenry's preference for male children, has created a context in which there is a marked gender imbalance, with men finding that there are too few women with whom they might couple
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Describe the extreme complications connected with managing global warming and with creating effective international agreements to curb global warming.
2. Explain what creative international solutions might be put forward to transcend the substantial costs and dangers. For instance, scientists may work to create plant species which are resistant to the stresses climate change otherwise places on plants. Waste heat from biogas generators might be captured to cool or warm farm animals, or incubate eggs. Food crops might be modified for resilience to drought, among other creative solutions.
3. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solutions, both short term and long term. For instance, some states in the U.S. have put forward aggressive environmental legislation that might be overturned in the future.
4. Provide a succinct summary and conclusion.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
