Stage 1 - Introduction: presenting the documents
Similarities: Both documents deal with sustainable development in the world, so on a world/global scale. .
Differences: The 1st document is an article about achieving sustainable development by Olga Adhikari and published in International Nature Friends on the 15th August 2015. The 2nd document is a cartoon about unsustainable development by Zapiro and published in the Los Angeles Times on the 28th August 2012.
Announce structure: In a 1st part I’ll focus on SD as an ideal & in a 2nd part I’ll analyse the reasons why SD is difficult to achieve.
Stage 2 - Analysing the documents
DESCRIBING - What you see (docs) |
INTERPRETING - What you know (notions) |
1. Sustainable development, an ideal (article§1) |
|
Article P1 SD an ideal but important for the future so we need to solve problems like less natural resources and more migrations |
- Sustainable dvpt (give the definition), |
2. Why so difficult to achieve (article§2 & cartoon) |
|
Article P2 What prevents SD: SD is difficult to achieve because we live in a world of violence and inequality. |
- Developed (def) countries, |
Stage 3 - Concluding
Assess docs (reliable/biased justified): To conclude, these documents are reliable as we have their full references, and both are biased as we can see the authors’ opinion (both pessimistic).
Sum-up ideas These docs show that SD isn’t possible yet because of the way we act and the world we live in.
+ Open We may wonder if SD can be achieved on a local scale, a city for example.
