2017 Midterm Question #3

Consider how important it is to remedy global poverty. Choose one of the following sub-topics for global poverty reduction and summarize what you have learned about how and why it works in reducing global poverty, and how you would carry it out, from the readings and your own opinions.

·      Micro-lending: Grameen Bank
·      Educating women and girls
·      Reducing health care and health outcome disparities
·      Empowering through skill development and employment: See http://www.tedxberlin.de/mallence-bart-williams-change-your-channel
I      2017       Midterm Question #2 
I         Imagine that you are writing a policy memo to President Donald Trump in U.S., the Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskyte, or President of Uganda Yoweri Museveni about the kinds of policies and programs that they should support in order to reduce global terrorism. What would be the main points you would make (drawing from our readings)? Include a child development point of view, considering our readings on child development.
2017   Midterm Question #1

Watch the following TED talk:
