ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENT:
In place of using a community issue for this assignment the teacher chooses a scenario or case study for the pupils to analyse. Please note that if the teacher selects a scenario that the pupil will have to use their imaginations or collect data from other sources rather than using locally-related facts to complete the assignment.
Scenario 1 – The city has been approached by a waste hauler from a wealthy country. The hauler has offered to pay the city $20,000 if they accept tons of electronic waste dumped on vacant land near the city dump.
Scenario 2 – The city would like to install a water purification plant for the city’s water system. Currently, the water in the system is not purified and many people get sick from it, especially infants, young children, and the elderly.
Scenario 3 – A real estate developer asks the city to purchase vacant property within the city limits to construct an office building. The neighbours oppose the idea because the land is the only nearby open space, which they use for recreation. However, the city needs money and is considering selling the land.
SAFETY: Not Applicable
