This discussion post has two parts:

1. Now that we are heading into the research modules/final parts of this class, lets dig into social issues and their solutions. Please watch this Ted Talk. Once done, share your thoughts on this idea, and any info you have regarding this specific problem/solution. Have you seen something like this? What community does this benefit most? Do you think it is helpful? What would you add to it?

1. Share your topic/idea for your problem-solution paper: what is it about – be specific. Share your why? Why have you chosen it? Why is it important? What is the PROBLEM and what possible SOLUTIONS do you have? THEN, review your peers’ topics as well. If you have similar topics, you can join up and collaborate. NO – you are not writing the same essay, so be careful. However, you can review each other’s sources, peer review each other’s drafts, etc. HOWEVER, if you don’t find anyone with your topic, you may then provide feedback to at least TWO peers: how can they narrow the topic? Do you have any info on the topic? And so on.
