HW #3-2 Global Problems Documents

Document #1

What is the Green Revolution?

The Green Revolution refers to the wave of technological development [research] that started in the 1940s to increase crop productivity in order to help developing countries face their growing populations’ needs.

The technologies of the Green Revolution broadly fall into two major categories. The first is the breeding of new plant varieties; the second is the application of modern agricultural techniques such as chemical fertilizers, herbicides, irrigation, and mechanization.

Beginning in Mexico in 1944, the Green Revolution continued in the 1960s to India and

Pakistan, where it is credited with saving over one billion people from starvation.

Dr. Norman Borlaug was the agricultural scientist who led the program. In 1970, he won the

Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. . . .

2. What evidence supports your answer?

Document #2

Implementation of the First Green Revolution

The [implementation of the] first green revolution—from the early 1960s to 1975—

introduced new varieties of wheat, rice, and maize that doubled or tripled yields. The new

varieties were highly susceptible to pest infestation and thus required extensive chemical

spraying. But they were also responsive to high rates of fertilizer application under irrigation. So, large- and medium-scale farmers in regions with adequate irrigation facilities, easy access to credit, sufficient ability to undertake risks, and good market integration adopted the new varieties. But these requirements meant that the new technology bypassed most poor African farmers.

Another reason that Africa did not benefit from the first green revolution was the research

strategy used. To short-cut the process of varietal improvement, researchers introduced

improved varieties from Asia and Latin America rather than engaging in the time-consuming

exercise of identifying locally adapted germ plasm and using this as the basis for breeding new varieties.

After the early euphoria with the high-yielding varieties, several problems became evident.

First, the need for significant use of pest and weed control raised environmental and human

health concerns. Second, as areas under irrigation expanded, water management required

sophisticated skills that were in short supply. As a result poor farmers growing staple food crops in Africa could not adopt the new varieties. What was crucial for Africa was to develop crop varieties that could thrive in water-stressed regions without heavy use of fertilizers. . . .

. . . Industrial agriculture has not produced more food. It has destroyed diverse sources of food,

and it has stolen food from other species to bring larger quantities of specific commodities to the

market, using huge quantities of fossil fuels and water and toxic chemicals in the process. . . .

Productivity in traditional farming practices has always been high if it is remembered that very

few external inputs are required. While the Green Revolution has been promoted as having

increased productivity in the absolute sense, when resource use is taken into account, it has been

found to be counterproductive and inefficient. . . .

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the Earth’s physical and biological systems are under

unprecedented strain. The human population reached 6.3 billion in 2003 and is projected to

increase to about 9 billion in the next half century. The United Nations estimates that one-third

of the world’s people live in countries with moderate to high shortages of fresh water and that

this percentage could double by 2025. Many of the world’s largest cities are increasingly choked

by pollution. As carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases build in the atmosphere, the average

surface temperature of the Earth has reached the highest level ever measured on an annual

basis. The biological diversity of the planet is also under heavy stress. Scientists believe that a

mass extinction of plants and animals is under way and predict that a quarter of all species could

be pushed to extinction by 2050 as a consequence of global warming alone. Without question,

the human impact on the biosphere will be one of the most critical issues of the century. . . .

AIM: What was the Rwandan Genocide?

Video

Rwanda
The Rwandan Genocide

Beginning on April 6, 1994, groups of ethnic Hutu, armed mostly with machetes, began a campaign of terror and bloodshed which embroiled the Central African country of Rwanda. For about 100 days, the Hutu militias, known in Rwanda as Interhamwe, followed what evidence suggests was a clear and premeditated attempt to exterminate the country's ethnic Tutsi population. The Rwandan state radio, controlled by Hutu extremists, further encouraged the killings by broadcasting non-stop hate propaganda and even pinpointed the locations of Tutsis in hiding. The killings only ended after armed Tutsi rebels, invading from neighboring countries, managed to defeat the Hutus and halt the genocide in July 1994. By then, over one-tenth of the population, an estimated 800,000 persons, had been killed. The country's industrial infrastructure had been destroyed and much of its population had been dislocated.

Bosnian Genocide[1][1] - Presentation Transcript

1. Bosnian Genocide 1992-1995
2. About Bosnia
   
   • Bosnia is located in South East Europe
3. Before
   
   • In 1991, a new Croat was elected and the government was seen to be fascist by the Serbs it enacted discriminatory laws targeting Orthodox Serbs.
   • Leader of the Serbs was Slobodan Milosevic at the time
4. War starts in 1992
   
   • Serbs invade Bosnia to “protect the Serb minority
5. War starts in 1992
   
   • During the attack on the city of Vukovar, they bombarded the outgunned Croats for eighty six days and destroyed all the city’s structures.
   • After the Serbs took the city they began the first mass killings.
6. War starts in 1992
   
   • Serbs rounded up hundreds of men and shot them.
   • Serbs targeted Croats and Muslims
7. 
   
   • Picture of a Bosnian man captured by Serb forces about to be executed
   • Serbs began executions after they took Bosnian towns and villages
   • Men and women were separated, with many of the men sent to be executed, the women where raped repeatedly
8. Serbs attack civilians
   
   • During 1994 and 1995 Serbs massacre civilians at places that the U.N designated as “safe havens”
   • These pictures are from a video which shows Serbs rounding up Bosnian men and shooting them in the bush
9. Srebrenica massacre
   
   • July 1995, Srebrenica Bosnia
   • paramilitary unit from Serbia known as the "Scorpions" carry out the massacre
   • On July 10 th Bosnians living in Srebrenica knew that Serb attack was imminent, fearing that if they fell into Serb hands they would be killed fled in a large column of 10000-15000.
10. Srebrenica massacre
    
    • The column of fleeing civilians was mostly men. (Serbs massacred only the men in most cases)
    • There where a small number of women and children in this column and the Serbs allowed them to leave.
11. Srebrenica massacre
    
    • Only one third of the column of fleeing men managed to get out of Serb territory
    • The men that didn’t escape where rounded up and sent to execution fields were they where shot.

    • After the war ended, it was hard to find evidence of any genocide taking place because the Serbs where very careful when hiding the evidence (bodies).
    • The Serbs usually made everyone that was involved in this genocide kill atleast 1 person to deter them from becoming witnesses. An example of this would be the truck drivers that transported victims to area’s of execution where forced to shoot atleast 1 man
13. End of the war
    
    • On December 14, 1995, the leaders of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia signed the Dayton peace accords
