Group Decision Making Project–Students will participate in a small group to research one of the seven critical issues identified by the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20 conference, 2012) concerning the reduction of poverty, advancement of social equity and ensuring environmental protection on a global level. Each student should be aware of and understand the Group Decision Making process as presented in the text. In addition, each student should serve as the groups secretary keeping track of what occurs during group meetings. An analysis of how well the group functioned will be required. It will be based on the steps of the small group decision making process: define/analyze the problem, establish criteria for evaluation of solution(s), identify possible solutions, evaluate solution(s), select solution(s), test solution(s).
Informative Speech each student will present a 5 minute informative speech on some aspect of the issue researched by the group: what it is, who it affects specifically, how it affects everyone globally, possible solutions, etc. Some topics may need to be covered by more than one group member.
Sustainable Development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It includes economic development, social development and environmental protection.
