Six-Point Critical Analysis of Current Event My blog posting is available online at:  1. Exploratory Probe basic facts and knowledge found in the reading and video. ( What research evidence supports _________? Type up several facts and basic knowledge from the reading and video. Relate this to what you find in other resources, prior activities for stronger scores.) ) The video Tipping the Hat and the article by Fesenmyer (2016) describe collaborative efforts between the Bureau of Land Management, ranchers, and conservation groups to restore degraded riparian zones in the Intermountain West, particularly at South Fork Salmon Falls Creek, Nevada. They used a combination of rotational grazing and beaver reintroduction to improve habitat. This approach resulted in up to 40% more vegetation productivity in managed areas (Fesenmyer, 2016). The article also mentions that encouraging natural processes, such as beavers building dams, can be a cost-effective and ecologically sound me...

Frame Type Davis & Lewicki (2003) Bryan (2003) Vincent (2009) Identity / Values Identity: Who am I in this conflict? What are my beliefs and values? Cultural context: Shared beliefs, traditions, and ways of life shape perceptions. Frames rooted in community identity and historical context; local vs. outsider perspectives. Characterization How parties perceive each other, often in terms of blame or trust. Demographic: Background factors (class, race, age, etc.) influence perspective. Community members and external stakeholders often stereotype each other’s roles and motives. Conflict Management Attitudes toward resolving disagreement (e.g., collaboration vs. confrontation). Political: Decision-making power and authority in managing conflict. Competing governance perspectives (federal vs. local control); lack of collaborative framing. Risk / Threat How parties define and prioritize environmental and social risks. Ecological: Objective vs. perceived environmental dangers. Risk framed ...

  Environmental thought in the United States has changed over time, shaped by social, cultural, and political influences. This change has been driven by a growing understanding of sustainability and how environmental, economic, and social factors are all connected. From early conservation movements to modern concerns about climate change, U.S. environmental views have shifted, influencing the way policies address environmental problems. This post looks at how environmental thought in the U.S. has evolved, focusing on key cultural and intellectual changes.  Before European settlers arrived, Native American cultures had a deep respect for nature. They saw the environment as something connected to all aspects of life, and their sustainable practices reflected this view. Every action humans took was thought to impact the environment and the community. However, when European settlers arrived, they viewed nature differently. They saw it mainly as a resource to be used for economic g...

     In recent years, concerns about microplastics have gained significant attention due to their increasing presence in both the environment and human food sources. Microplastics are small particles that originate from a variety of products, including cosmetics, clothing, and plastic waste, which eventually break down into tiny particles. Two articles help shed light on this issue: one by Carbone (2019), which discusses how microplastic levels in the ocean have reached alarming new heights, and the other by Shultz (2025), which reveals that chewing gum may contribute to human ingestion of thousands of microplastic particles annually.  The purpose of the article by Carbone (2019) is to highlight new findings about the increasing presence of microplastics in the oceans. It aims to alert the public about the scale of microplastic contamination and its potential long-term environmental consequences. The article seeks to answer how microplastics have accumulated to such ...
