Discussion Forum 3 – Ranking of Cultural Geographic Issues.
It is important for us, as global citizens, to reflect on critical cultural geographic issues. While we may not have power to make decisions, we do have the opportunity to participate in ways to influence and vote for the policymakers.
For your Discussion 3 entry, rank (re-order) the following issues according to what you think is the most important, with number 1 being the most important down through number 10. Then add an additional issue (or issues) that you think may be missing. After you place your entry, do not forget to respond to two other students’ entries.
How would you rank them and why?
Add an 11th issue; something you feel was not included.
