Prompt: Did thinking about this topic cause you to see the world differently in any way? (or perhaps re-evaluate your beliefs, goals, actions, etc.?) Is there some important lesson here that you think we could all benefit from learning? If so, say a bit about how this reading affected your worldview.

Paper should include a table of contents, a reference list and all references should be cited in the paper using the footnotes.

The focus of this paper is on the question of legitimacy
and representativeness in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on its performance
in the Syrian civil war.

Makes an attempt to critically review the role of the
United Nations Security Council in the Syria civil war.

Examines the inability of the UNSC to resolve the Syria
civil war which has led to worsening the security situation by referring the
adopted resolution in Security Council from the beginning of Syrian conflict
till today. (Try to raise some examples of its failures in this case)

Demonstrates that the UN is perceived as the primary
global collective security organization to maintain world peace and security in
the world. But to what extent the UN Security Council has demonstrated
deficiencies during latest important international crises ,in this case ‘Syrian
War’, to be solved by joint international effort, which is questionable in
international community and almost approached current international order to a
revision.Focuses on the challenges that prevent the Council from being
equitably representative and explores proposed reforms to this effect.

Overview: An effective presentation includes a summary of the main points in the slides, but the presenter should add additional content in the speaker notes to help explain each point. Some presenters have the the ability to memorize the details through cues in the outline of the presentation, and some can even speak off the cuff. However, for this project, you will create speaker notes for the slides in your presentation, which is due in Module Eight. This will help you consider the outline of your presentation and the content you want to include on each slide.
Prompt: For this assignment, you will be drafting the speaker notes that will accompany your 5- to 7-slide presentation. The speaker notes can be bullet points related to each item on the slides, or more developed paragraphs that help you fill in the details you wouldn’t include on the slides. This choice is up to you, but either way, the speaker notes should contain substantial details that address each of the required parts of your presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Provide a brief overview of the scientific background of your issue and question. How does the issue relate to the natural sciences?
Explain how the issue impacts the audience. In other words, how is the issue relevant to members of the audience? Why should the audience care about
the response to your question or the outcome of your hypothesis? Support your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Describe the empirical evidence you have to support your conclusions about the impact of the issue on you personally and on your audience. Support
your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Explain why this issue is important to you personally. In other words, why did you select this issue to investigate?
Illustrate how your investigation of the issue impacted the way you thought about the issue. In other words, how did thinking like a scientist to research, develop a question, and formulate a hypothesis affect what you thought about the issue you selected? How did scientific thinking change the lens through which you viewed the issue? Support your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Communicate your message in a way that is tailored to your specific audience. For instance, you could consider your vocabulary, your audience’s potential knowledge of current natural science (or lack thereof), and what is specifically important to the audience. This element will not necessarily be a separate slide or step in the process. In your notes that address the previous six prompts, note word choices or pieces that are specifically tailored for your audience.
Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: The draft of your speaker notes can be bullet points or paragraphs related to each item on the slides. Submissions should be 2–4
pages, double spaced, with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. You should use current APA guidelines (or another format approved by your instructor) for any references. For your final project, please keep in mind that these speaker notes will accompany 5–7 slides.

Greetings – Welcome Back for Week2!
For those that need a refresher on WHAT TO DO, and how to participate, please see the Discussion Instructions document. Be sure to read and follow the instructions before posting a response in the discussion.
Briefly:
Thoroughly read through the 1-page Earthweek Diary below. THEN select ONE featured topic in the Diary that you found especially interesting or significant in some way.
Do a quick search to find out anything more that you can about the topic that interested you. Or select a similar, related item you discover in your search. It need not be of the specific example in the Diary. Select a map, photo, diagram, or other item to share and then,
POST to the discussion board a comment or brief description of what you found out and include the photo, map, etc. in your posting so the entire class can check it out and learn something new as well. That’s it! Embed the actual map or photo instead of just a LINK. SHOW us in your posting. Also, when posting links, (for video clips, web sites, etc., – be sure to use INSERT > LINK > EXTERNAL LINK to enter the URL so it is “HOT” for us anxious readers who want to just click and go see for ourselves!
Tips:
Keep it brief – a few sentences to a paragraph or so is all that is required. Pick a single concept or point or two to remark upon – this is not the place for a FULL book report.
It’s perfectly ok to remark on a topic that someone has already contributed on. Simply add to the discussion with a different map, photo, or link, and offer your own commentary. Do not just repeat what is already in the EarthDiary.
You may freely reply to each others posts, introduce yourselves to each other, share additional stories if you like. Only your original discussion posting on the Weekly Diary topic you selected is required and counted for point value however. Anything additional in the way of comments you contribute between each other are quite welcome, but optional.
All right! Here’s the CURRENT Earthweek Diary for the week ending Friday, June 11, 2021. Look it over, find something out that you can add to any one item (don’t forget to grab a map, photo, doc or link!) – and then Post to Share!
