Portfolio Assignment
SUS1501 – Sustainability and Greed
Student Name:
Student Number:
Date:
Teaching Assistant Name:
Declaration:
By submitting this portfolio, I implicitly declare that this is my own work except for the “Introduction” which was kindly written for me by my lecturer.
Introduction
My aim in compiling this portfolio was to reflect on the things that have struck me throughout this crazy module.
My starting point for doing this was to revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions which were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present these current opinions, together with my original opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled: “Back at the Crossroads!”
Once I have done this, I draw some key conclusions about this crazy module and about the things that did indeed strike me.
Back at the Crossroads!
Instructions:
First, go through the MCQs again, and record your current choice
We suggest that you don’t look at your original opinions before you have been through all questions
Second, for each question, record your original choice AND
Third, jot down any notes which explain why your opinion changed if it did, or why it didn’t if it didn’t.
Note that we would expect to see comments for at least 6 of the questions. These comments should be quite substantial. Rather put fewer comments and make them worth reading.
Delete all these Instructions (the stuff in red) before you submit this assignment!
1. “The assets of the three richest people in the world match the combined annual GDP’s of the 48 poorest countries.” My personal opinion on this statement is most closely described by:
a. Good for them – they worked hard to get their wealth
b. The only problem I have with this is that this money is in their bank account and not in mine
c. No problem with this – many of these people give huge amounts to charities
d. I think that it is morally wrong for anyone to have that much money
e.
