in-text citations and a Reference page with formatted references.
All assignments unless otherwise noted must be in essay format, double-spaced, and in Times New Roman Font.
Please do not use contractions in formal writing assignments. Please answer every one of the questions.
Please allow enough time to submit assignment. The assignment automatically cuts off at time and
you will not be able to upload after that. Please allow at least 20 minutes for upload.
A. Discuss the connection between large cities, overpopulation and their effect on the environment.
B. Discuss the cycle of how poverty precipitates AIDS and AIDS spreads poverty. Make sure to address this on each of
the levels of social work practice.
C. Go to https://www.footprintcalculator.org to calculate your ecological footprint. (Should be free–make sure to use
whichever one is free) How many earths do you need to sustain your life? What is your total ecological footprint?
How do you fare compared to the rest of the United States? How do you feel about your consumption versus
someone in a South country, like India? So, utilizing alternative energy, how could you decrease your own ecological
footprint and your effect on the environment? Then, what are some suggestions for a plan could you have for
sustainability for the world?

If we could meet face-to-face, we would be taking brain breaks.
These breaks are mindfulness techniques allowing your brain to
rest. They are valuable tools in helping you pause, breathe, and
refocus. At this point in our class, I believe a brain break would
be helpful. Let us try one!
If we were in class, I would ask you to stand, turn to your
classmates, and wave hi. While doing so, I would show my hello
kitty (see below). If you are comfortable, take a minute to stand,
wave hi to anyone around you or yourself, and enjoy the hello
kitty. I hope this silly activity brought a smile to your face, and a
brief break for your brain.

HIV/AIDS has been around for decades and the fight against this tremendous health concern has taught us much in dealing with Northern and Southern countries’
perspectives. In addition, there are other health concerns and issues that span across the globe that has to be considered; many new every day and how to address
them as a global unit. Environmental concerns and overpopulation cannot be topics ignored as both have a tremendous impact on how we view the global, work and
interact in the globe, and learn to live with the effects of both.
