The topic for Session 16 is the issue of severe environmental degradation in China. To address this issue, we will hold a debate in class. The debate is: “How effective is a given institution or actor for improving environmental conditions in China?” The PRO position argues that the institution or actor IS effective in improving environmental conditions. The CON position argues that the institution is NOT effective.

Protest (My stand is PRO)

I need a document with position, source(s), evidence, and argument based on Protest in China. My position is PRO.

1) reflect your understanding of the operation of political institutions as covered in the course, 2) support your position with facts from syllabus readings

You may use media (images, video, etc.) to enrich your group presentation. All links, ppts, etc. must be submitted to me before class on Tuesday so that I can queue them up.

Your job is to argue FOR the effectiveness of protest in improving environmental conditions (air, water, soil, etc.) in China.
