Ethics

I just read over the materials concerning the ethics of how one should respectfully use another person's comments, ideas, and identity for writing research papers. As a double major in anthropology I have read these and similar codes of ethics before and I am familiar with following these guidlines. I doubt that I will use other people in a face-to-face manner while conducting the research neccessary to complete my paper, if an oportunity arises where I will need to, though, I am prepared to treat them ethically, as laid out by these codes.

Abstract

i will have this posted on thursday when i better know the finer details about what i'm writing about

Paper Topic

Sustainable development is my concentration within the IDS Department, so naturally I would like to make that the focus and slant for the interpretations i derrive from the research sources i choose to include in my final draft. I do not wish to write a research paper, rather i intend to due substantial research to write an original scholarly paper on the topic of city development and sustainable city planning. My subject of interest within the realm of sustainable development is social justice and i would like to focus the goals that embody the principles of social justice in city planning, organiztion, and management. Since cities are expected to occupy 35% of the land area in the US by 2050, i would like to assess how sustainable theory and prctices can be applied to city design and a nation that is spotted with urban centers. To complete this i will i will need to lightly touch on many topics while going into more depth about only a few. I will decide which topics will consume the majority of my time as the paper develops thorugh out the semester. The topics I intend to evaulate will range from energy consumption to Economics to Forest Management to Architecture to Agriculture to Social Issues and so on. I would like to create a theory that will create a socially just and ecologically sound idea for city planning. I would like to discuss this in the body of my paper and discuss relevant issues such a a city that has followed a pattern of Smart Growth, New Urbanism, or other sustainable planning initiatives as a case study within the paper as well.

a past paper

i read anne furr's senior project about ------- i also looked at ----------- project about ---------- because he/she wrote a dual paper for an anthropology and an ids paper project. i read these because i thoght they would give me the best insight about what i should do to complete my paper in the best possible manner. reading a past paper that recieved a good grade helped me understand what it is that i should expect to do to suficiently complete this paper. this helped me with organization, citation, layout, and structure.

about me

hi, i'm bob kollm. i started at app state in 2002 to participate in the watauga college program. throughout my studies here i have become very interested in sustainable development issues mainly in the realm of social justice. i have a second major in anthropology with a concentration in sustainable development, so i have been exposed to many issues dealing with inequality all over the world. one of the most startling things to me is the affect of our american lifestyle on a large portion of the rest of the world, especially in the global south. i have recently taken up an interest in economics and i believe that solutions to change this trend that will have the quickest results will come through this sector of everyday life. there is much to do and i am hoping to have a role to play for the good of mankind.
