6. The Human Footprint Refers to total human impact on earth  Includes how we affect ourselves US is not typical – we are at the rich end Many systems we depend on are stretched now Will get worse  Population growth, economic growth, safety margin 61/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

7. Review of Overview Course topic: The Human Footprint, 25 pg  A research paper  Huh? (What does it mean)  Subtopics (topics for paper) on next slide  Five suggested Chapters, avg. 5 pages each 1.Human footprint with focus on your subtopic 2.Present status for your subtopic 3.Trends for your subtopic 4.Sustainability for your subtopic 5.Human footprint and interactions with your subtopic 71/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

8. The Human Footprint Subtopics - pick one for research paper topic  Population  Urbanization  Development / disease  Food / fish  Institutional Capacity and Failed States  Water  Ecosystem services  Energy / Global Warming  Sustainability  Consumption & waste  Land: dwelling & food  Tragedy of Commons 81/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

9. Scope: Six Aspects The range or scope for each topic has six aspects: a.Adequacy of current supply b.Adequacy if current trends continue  Population, development c.New technology and methods d.Sustainability e.Subtopic scope: all types (e.g. for food), a class of types (e.g. grains) or one type (e.g. rice) f.Geographical scope: worldwide, world region or single nation? (NOT local, e.g. Detroit except as an illustration or contrast of other content) 91/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

10. Choosing Your Scope On your own, you can narrow one of e or f by one level If you want to narrow two aspects or more than one level of the scope, you need to:  Describe what you want to do  Get my approval If, when you submit your topic on Moodle, you just use the one-word topic, you are choosing the full scope (all 3 aspects) 101/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

11. Stick With Your Choice In the past, many people said they kept changing their topic because they “found more research resources” on another topic  They did not finish the paper (did not even get a good start)  You will be able to find more than enough resources on any one of these topics  If you do change topic, you have to repost on Moodle. Do not erase old topic, just put the new one underneath 111/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

12. All Are Interlocked Cannot solve one while making others worse  Yes, this is interdisciplinary  This is why I want your paper to begin and end (Chapters 1 and 5) with the overview 121/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

13. The human footprint Many of these areas are in trouble now Will get worse  Population growth  Economic growth  Safety margin World population now about 6.9 B, headed for 9.1 B by 2050 (UN) Will increase need for resources in all areas 131/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

14. Content: Urbanization Urbanization: mass movement of people (especially poor) into cities  > 50% in cities worldwide, greater in developed countries, but will grow to 75%  Not in PIP  In SOP, part of Human Population chapter – pg 16 ff  UN projection: almost all growth will be in cities in the poor countries 2.2 B ↑, 2.1 B ↑ in cities, 2.0 ↑ in poor countries 141/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

15. Urbanization (Vital Signs 2007-2008) “Megacities” – more than ten million population – number is increasing What causes this:  Higher urban birth rates  Rural poverty  War Problems:  Poverty – UN defines this as lack of at least one basic necessity (water, sanitation, housing, secure tenure) 151/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

16. Urbanization Problems  Poor move to cities without housing, sanitation  “Squatting”  No education, jobs, etc.  Will need to recycle more resources within urban areas 161/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

17. Urbanization (2008 NYT Almanac) Rank1975200020052015 1Tokyo 2NY- Newark Mexico City Mumbai 3Mexico City NY- Newark Mexico City 4?São Paulo 5?Mumbai NY- Newark 171/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

18. Other Demographic Trends Urbanization is a demographic trend Aging is another – world population will get older in all regions Life expectancy:  World: 67  More developed regions: 76  Less developed regions: 63  Least developed countries: 27 Another: increasing literacy, worldwide 181/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

19. Global Life Expectancy 191/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

20. Research: Why References/Citations? A citation or reference gives the information needed to find and, to some extent, evaluate a reference Purposes:  To give credit to those you borrow from  To trace your influences  To let the reader check up on you  To let the reader build on your work 201/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

21. MLA Citations MLA – short in-text citations (minimize disruption to reader) All direct quotations and other references to authority must be cited.  To say that Lansing is the capital of MI, no citation necessary – this is common knowledge If a reference is cited but the text is not in quotes, then the words must be your own. Borrowed ideas must be cited also MLA citation in parentheses inside sentence 211/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

22. MLA Citations Full bibliographic information on “Works Cited” page in back – slide coming up Example (in body) - author’s name and page inside parentheses Some people argue that managing the commons will require harsh tactics (Hardin 3).  Means page 3 of the article written by Garrett Hardin 221/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

23. MLA Citations Three basic MLA styles EDW #48 Pg 367: 1.Author’s name in sentence, only one work cited by that author: only page e.g. (3) 2.Author’s name not in sentence, only one work cited by that author: include name page e.g. (Hardin 3) 3.Author’s name not in sentence, more than one work cited by that author: include shortened title, e.g. (Hardin, Managing 3) See variations in EDW or on OWL Next week: citing web pages 231/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

24. At back: Works Cited/Consulted Reference to work, without page number Reader must be able to find the right line! So, for book EDW #50 Pg 373:  Authors in alpha order by last name, first author with last name first  Title  Place of publication  Publisher  Date of publication 241/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

25. MLA Style for Works Cited Examples for book: EDW #50 Pg 373  One author: Hardin, Garrett. Nature and Man’s Fate. New York: New American Library, 1972.  Two or three authors: Appleby, Joyce, Lynn Hunt, and Margaret Jacob. Telling the Truth about History. New York: Norton, 1994. 251/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

26. MLA Style for Works Cited Periodicals: EDW #50 Pg 380:  Author  Title of article  Periodical title  Volume number  Date  Page, by periodical’s method 261/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

27. MLA Style for Works Cited Examples for Periodicals: EDW #50 Pg 380  Single author in a journal paginated by volume: Norris, Margot. Narration under a Blindfold: Reading Joyce’s ‘Clay.’” PMLA 102 (1987): 206-15.  Paginated by issue: Lofty, John. “The Politics at Modernism’s Funeral.” Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory 6.3 (1987): 89-96. 271/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

28. 1/24/11ISP 4860 Class 228 Number of References 12 research-quality references, i.e.  8 from WSU research databases  Scholarly books or articles  UN & other government websites  Websites of scholarly/research organizations  SOP textbook, references there Others may be mixed in  Examples: newspapers, popular magazines, Wikipedia  Put “RQ” in front of the research-quality ones or have two sections of Works Cited

29. Citing Electronic Sources, e.g. Web Pages This week, information requirements only Author (if any listed) Title of document or page Any information about print publication Electronic print information  Title of site, editors, version number, date, sponsor’s name (look at site’s home page) Date of your latest access, URL For some of this, right-click in blank spot, pick “Page Info” (IE) or “Properties” (others) 291/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

30. Research Help Debbie Tucker has retired but she said it would be OK for me to give you her email:  deborah.tucker@wayne.edu Research librarians are standing by to help you  Roving Reference on 2 nd floor of UGL  Each library has a reference desk UGL reference desk (313) 577-8852 List of libraries and reference desks at right on http://www.lib.wayne.edu/info/staff/  These are helpful people! 301/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

31. Research Sources CQ Researcher has good large-scale survey articles  Debbie had a recommended list Searching, say for “water” – gets a lot of information that you don’t need – the chemical formula for water, the freezing temperature of water, etc.  Can be hard to find the articles you need Searching for “water shortage” or “water supply” is more specific “Global” or “world” are also good terms “and” means all are required, global water supply means global or water or supply 311/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3

32. Due Dates The dates that matter the most are the dates for the final paper and the oral presentation  If these are not met, hard to pass the course If you do not turn in the drafts, or they are later, those grades do not count anyway  But I may not grade them at all if they are late To pass the course, keep up with the schedule  Note grades for in-class and other work, and keeping up 321/31/11ISP 4860, Class 3
