FINAL RESEARCH PAPER-ALTERNATIVE FUELS
The Assignment:
(Due at the end of week eight)
Throughout the Liberal Studies program you will find that we ask the big questions and try to come up with important answers. Just as important as the answer is that we approach these types of issues in a researched, thoughtful way. We have to be objective and have the correct information if we hope to come up with the right anwers.
One of the great issues of our time is alternative fuels. Fossil fuels won’t last forever, so at some point we are going to have to find alternative energy sources. As important as this is, the average person really doesn’t know that much about it. In addition, it is a very emotional and political issue, so often people take sides based on biases and political affiliation without having much information.
Studying alternative fuels is also a very good interdisciplinary exercise because it contains elements of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanites. In addition, on this particular issue, they all effect each other. We think you will find this a great opportunity for exploration and discovery. Choose ONE of the three alternative fuels to write about. Click on the item for detailed instructions about writing the paper.
