Paper details:Chapters 11/12 – Discussion Topic Many economic growth theories identify the acquisition of physical capital and modern-day technology as key components for helping developing nations move towards the lifestyles enjoyed by developed nations. Over time, this has led to charitable organizations and for-profit firms promoting the idea of sending new and used technology to African nations because it was believed to be a humanitarian effort while it simultaneously addressed a waste-management problem for industrialized nations. Watch the following video about E-waste in Africa and answer the questions that follow (remember that your first post needs to be 200+ words long and proofread for errors): Briefly summarize the information conveyed in the video. What are some of the implications of policies based on the economic growth theories covered in the chapter? Explain the unintended consequences that may occur as a result of these policy decisions? What are some of the possible solutions to the current e-waste problem in developing nations? Use your problem-solving skills to come up with your own original solution to the problem. You may want to check out these additional resources and there are also many videos available on YouTube about this issue: Christopher Olver, “U.N. Report: Findings on E-Waste Problems in Africa,” Journalist’s Resource, March 5, 2012, journalistsresource.org Campbell, Katie and Christensen, Ken, “Where does America’s e-waste end up? GPS Tracker tells all,” May 10, 2016, PBSNewshour.org Discussion Instructions You will not be able to see other students’ replies until you post your response to my question. Type your initial response to my question in substantially more than eight sentences (minimum 200 words), then read through the other entries and post a thoughtful question to at least one classmate who does not have a thoughtful question. Then, please write a one paragraph (4+ sentences) response to another student’s thoughtful question about your post. If you do not receive a thoughtful question about your post , you may write a second thoughtful question to a student who does not have one to count as your third post. If you are posting late, you must wait 24 hours before posting a second thoughtful question to another student in order to allow other students time to ask you a thoughtful question about your post. Please use professional grammar and punctuation in this college level course in all correspondence. Please avoid “text” or “twitter speak” when corresponding. Grammar counts here.
