Challenges You Expect/Want to Meet

These are the challenges you identified on Day One:

- Social Apathy/Unawareness
- Sustainable Living
- Decrease in Biodiversity
- Disease Prevention and Treatment
- Food and Agriculture
- Water Shortages
- Sustainable, Renewable Energy
- Waste Management
- Rise in Poverty
- Depleting Resources
- Diplomatic Cooperation
- Advances in Technology
---How they affect future jobs
---How they change social interaction
---How they impact the environment (+/-)
- "Nerve Research"
- Education

Sounds like we're all in the same ballpark, and we should be touching on most of these topics at some point, to some degree during the semester. Remember, too, that you're in charge of your own angles of inquiry. If we don't "cover" something you're interested in now (or something you become interested in), your blog, your inquiry essay, and your final project are all tools you can use to explore that area of interest.
