¶ … Educational Priorities of the High Sage of New Toronto
The newly appointed High Sage of Education for the small city of New Toronto was conflicted. On the one hand, this was an opportunity to help this struggling community educate its young people to not only cope with their precarious situation, but to instill appropriate values that can help guide their future. On the other hand, though, there are numerous obstacles involved in developing relevant curricular offerings for these children, including most especially determining what lessons should be learned from the collapse of human civilization and how these lessons should be taught. Drawing on the teachings of Augustine, Plato and Alfarabi, this paper provides a succinct analysis concerning the main reasons for the collapse of human civilization, followed by relevant guiding principles for the ethical education of the next generation of New Torontonians and a summary of the research in the conclusion.
Main Reasons for the Collapse of Human Civilization by 2116
Although there were clear signs that humankind was headed for disaster more than a century ago, the mounting evidence of global warming was either ignored or discounted by some politicians, a process that gained momentum...
Likewise, despite cautions from the scientific community to proceed with caution in genetic engineering experiments, the earthquakes that rocked the United States in 2036 released experimental organisms into the environment that reproduced and further mutated at astonishing rates.
Taken together, the High Sage had much to consider in determining what type of curricular offerings and values were best suited for the needs of the young people of New Toronto. Fortunately, the High Sage had one of the largest libraries in the world (eight volumes!) including writings by Augustine, Plato and Alfarabi which he applied to the problem as described below.

Besides practical curricular offerings that provide young…

Global Warming Argument FACT OR FALLACY Critical Thinking World Health Organization (2013) reports that, in the last century, the earth's warmth increased by approximately 0.75 degrees C. And further at more than 0.18 degrees every decade in the last 25 years. This phenomenon, called global warming, is said to result from the greenhouse effect whereby deleterious gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat within the earth's atmosphere instead of getting released.

Global Warming, United States and the World There are concerns that the natural ecosystem and human society is not capable of handling rapid changes in climate.
