HIS 100 Module One Activity Template: Project Topic Exploration Nicole Keramedjian You must pick a topic from the Research Topics Lists in the Library Research Guide. While it is a good idea to choose your topic early, you may change it until the next module. Replace the bracketed text below with your responses. Support your responses with specific details and examples. Identify the topic you chose to explore: Creation of Earth Day Explain what you already know about the chosen topic based on your personal history or experiences. I don’t know much surrounding the creation of Earth Day but I am eager to learn much about the topic. In very simple terms I understand Earth Day was created in order to address environmental issues in a large enough way to gain attention and receive action in the political area. I hope to gain insight on how the information was initially collected in order to convince people to make changes. Lastly, I would like to understand how Earth Day made its way into schools and universities as topic and how environmental education has even become required for certain individuals in certain careers. Describe the beliefs, assumptions, and values you have related to the topic you chose. I believe this is a very important topic that although has been talked about more is still not discussed enough to see the change it needs. Environmental changes and climate change have always been a topic that people are afraid to talk about as there tends to be a bit of controversy. In addition, I think the one main assumption surrounding this topic that as a whole people and myself included are beginning to see is how one event is connected to the next. All together as a whole we need to continue to make small changes in order to create environmental change, and right now I don’t think enough people have a concern for this. Explain why this topic is relevant to current events or to modern society. The topic of the creation of Earth Day is relevant to modern society as the changes in the environment begin to worsen and climate change becomes a more talked about issue. The creation of Earth day to voice the environmental concerns which we still face in today in modern society. Earth day is still a known holiday that falls on the calendar once a year and is celebrated by people all over who host different events or fundraisers to bring awareness to climate and environmental changes as well as even host town cleanups as a way to give back to the community and bring positive change. By learning about the events and debates that took place to put certain acts in place that are still enforced today in order to better the environment. Learning about this topic will help us understand the history of events that led up to todays society. 1
