Carefully watch the documentary film 13th (available on Netflix and YouTube).

Carefully watch the documentary film 13th (available on Netflix and YouTube). I recommend taking notes–even if it is just to jot down things that catch your attention. Remember–in a couple of weeks, our next essay will concentrate on this film as well, so these activities are leading up to a more challenging assignment. For your discussion post this week, write an SEER paragraph of approximately 200 words that summarizes the film using SOME of the Elements of Thought (Links to an external site.) https://theelementsofthought.org/the-elements-of-thought-one-by-one/
to help you identify its various components and strategies. Here is a basic outline that you will need to follow.
STATE what you perceive as the purpose for the film. Express this PURPOSE using a strong, descriptive, action verb. For instance, the film’s purpose is to demonstrate the injustices of . . .” or “The film argues for a reform of . . .” Rather than referring to an author, refer to the director (Ava DuVernay) if you need to.
ELABORATE on the statement in the first sentence or two. Consider commenting on the film’s POINT OF VIEW or the KEY QUESTION it is addressing or attempting to answer.
Provide an EXAMPLE of some key INFORMATION that caught your attention in the film–how does it support the overall purpose, argument, or point of view? This information could be in the form of history, footage, personal experience or anecdotes, interviews, etc. Do not try to cover everything–pick out what you consider to be the most compelling data or evidence showcased in the film.
Finally, REVISIT the overall point of the film–what INTERPRETATIONS AND INFERENCES (sometimes thought of as conclusions) does the film ultimately arrive at or stress to the audience, based on the INFORMATION highlighted? Also potentially consider the IMPLICATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES of the film–if we accept what the film is arguing, how should this knowledge affect the outlook and behavior of the audience?
Feel free to address any of the other elements of thought–such as assumptions, etc.–but you are not required to do so.
Include an MLA Works Cited entry for the film at the end of your post

ONE MORE THING: This time, at the end of your post include a discussion question for your classmates to answer in their response. Try to construct a question that you are genuinely interested in seeing discussed. See handout for type of questions. Good discussion questions invite multiple viewpoints–they do not have simple yes or no answers. (we will be coming back to this handout quite a bit later on). Good discussion questions follow the multi-system model on this list, so check it out!

introduction about lifecycle assessment of carrier bags and plastic bags

1- write a introduction about lifecycle assessment of carrier bags and plastic bags
2- blind what i will write below to the page so total will be 1 page and a half

Environmental concerns have been increasing a lot during the last few decades which encouraged scientists to analyze the route cause analysis. Lifecyle assessment is a methodology that can be utilized to measure the impact of a certain product to the environment. in order to evaluate a product impact to the environment, LCA is utilized to identify products inputs, outputs and energy used during its lifetime. One of the most debatable topics in this regard is the different type of carrier bags which are used in the supermarkets. In this report, the focus will be on the carrier bags which are available in UAE only. There are different types of carrier bags however, this report will focus in two types of carrier bags which are HDPE plastic bags and paper bags.

Cellular Agriculture a Disruptive Innovation

The Paper is about Disruptive Innovation (more details below)

PAPER: Describe the industry being impacted by Cellular Agriculture. Identify core problems the disruptor is/will face in the industry. Then provide a recommendation on how best the industry and the disruptor you selected might address the core issues and thrive.
The paper needs to follow:
Key Problems
Analysis and Evaluation

Background on the Disruptive innovation (This was shared by my professor as a reference for Disruptive Innovation)
In business theory, a disruptive innovation is an innovation that creates a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market-leading firms, products, and alliances. The term was defined and first analyzed by the American scholar Clayton M. Christensen and his collaborators beginning in 1995,] and has been called the most influential business idea of the early 21st century.
Not all innovations are disruptive, even if they are revolutionary. For example, the first automobiles in the late 19th century were not a disruptive innovation, because early automobiles were expensive luxury items that did not disrupt the market for horse-drawn vehicles. The market for transportation essentially remained intact until the debut of the lower-priced Ford Model T in 1908. The mass-produced automobile was a disruptive innovation, because it changed the transportation market, whereas the first thirty years of automobiles did not.
Disruptive innovations tend to be produced by outsiders and entrepreneurs in startups, rather than existing market-leading companies. The business environment of market leaders does not allow them to pursue disruptive innovations when they first arise, because they are not profitable enough at first and because their development can take scarce resources away from sustaining innovations (which are needed to compete against current competition). A disruptive process can take longer to develop than by the conventional approach and the risk associated to it is higher than the other more incremental or evolutionary forms of innovations, but once it is deployed in the market, it achieves a much faster penetration and higher degree of impact on the established markets.
Beyond business and economics disruptive innovations can also be considered to disrupt complex systems, including economic and business-related aspects.

This is one example of Cellular Agriculture for your reference.
