Sociology Lesson Plan April 23 to 26th
This week we will watch the movie Soylent Green. We will be discussing the theory of Man-Made Global Warming, the effects of world population on the environment, the impact of pollution on the environment, and the potential for false science to be used to promote political agendas. This discussion is going to be approached from the social, not environmental, science viewpoint. We will not be making definitive statements on the impact of human society on the environment but rather looking at how these definitive statements on the environment impact human society.
