Problem
You will synthesize what you learned in this class-especially drawing on knowledge about how race, ethnicity, class, and gender inequalities and power relations have created an unjust, unequitable, and unsustainable world-to develop a statement of your visions, values, and ethics.
Your statement can draw from any course materials, but you should particularly focus on the reading/materials of the last several sessions. These articles put forward arguments for connecting various struggles of freedom and equality--such as housing, food, and Indigenous liberation--to solutions for the environmental crisis. Overall, the statement answers:
What world do you envision given the knowledge and values you have learned about and what will your role be in constructing it?
In your statement, develop a thesis statement and include answers to the following:
I. What does it mean to have a relationship with a just environment?
II. What moral obligations or responsibilities do you have toward constructing just environments by resolving inequalities in the time of the climate crisis and Anthropocene?
III. What values& visions do you plan to live by? (or, what values will inform your relations with others and the environment?)
IV. What do you envision a "good life" to be in the future? and
V. What role do you plan to play in engaging your family or community with environmental decisions as part of living in a just environment?
