Essays due: October 30, 2007
Essayists may choose to write on any ONE of the following
three prompts or topics:
-
Watch the movie, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" (Note:
this could be a great chapter Scholarship activity!) Then respond
to the following: Which of the identified "suspects" is
most guilty of killing the electric car? Justify your decision and
discuss the implications with respect to the global dynamics of
sustainability.
-
The level of belief in something by its followers is of utmost
importance to the success or failure of an idea or movement, but
acceptance comes only after awareness and understanding have been
achieved. Successful progress toward the goal of sustainability
requires this belief. How successfully have the proponents of global
sustainability promoted awareness and understanding and how might
the cause be better served?
-
Discuss Sustainability vs. Consumption. What steps must be taken
on both a local and global basis to assure their co-existence?
The purpose of this essay contest is to stimulate intellectual
engagement with both Phi Theta Kappa’s current Honors Study Topic
and our International Service Project, “Operation Green: Improving
Our Communities.”
For the purpose of this essay contest, we are defining
“sustainability” as “any concerted effort to help
assure that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to achieve economic, social and especially
ecological well-being."
