“The Green Revolution: The Transition to Sustainable Ships and the Drivers Behind It” “Converting Ships to Green Energy: The Challenges and Opportunities of the Energy Transition”
You will only have ONE chance to submit the final paper. If you submit the wrong version, you will NOT have a second chance to submit another version this semester.
Final Paper Spring 2024
The due date for the term paper is May 8, 2024.
Length: 10 pages minimum, no maximum length
Two students may partner on and submit the same paper, if they choose. If they do partner, each should submit the paper separately, but the names of both should appear on each submission.
Papers must be submitted, and will only be accepted, on Blackboard. No hard copies OR EMAILED COPIES will be accepted.
Papers which I can detect to have been written by any artificial intelligence program will receive a grade no higher than C.
The topic for the term paper: Green Ships
This is the only topic permitted for the term paper. A paper on any other topic, no matter the quality of the paper, will receive the grade of D.
Structure of the paper:
After an initial introduction, in the first part of your paper, which you should caption as Part I, you should discuss the drivers of the renewable energy investment story that we have reviewed in class, and any others that you think are significant. We have discussed, or will discuss, in class the following drivers. Each must be discussed under an individual subheading, in bold:
–global warming (also called climate change). You must use, at a minimum, the IPCC as the reference for this—without this reference, the maximum grade on the paper is C;
–comparative costs of renewable and fossil fuel technologies;
–the amount of money likely to be in play;
–energy independence in the name of national defense.
–pollution, obviously one of the main drivers for green ships, and its role in pushing investment into renewable energy in general; the collision of a giant container ship into the Key Bridge in Baltimore could be discussed under this heading
–government regulations—Biden’s inflation Reduction Act; state/regional, or municipal laws; international agreements, such as that of Cop 21–including taxes and subsidies which may favor (or disadvantage) investment in renewable energy;
–the element of belief, sometimes called dreams, in major investment shifts;
–the potential role of millions of electric car owners as a lobbying force to shift the world into renewable energy.
In the next part of your paper, which you must label as Part II, you should explain the reason for the transition into green ships—including yachts that sleep at least six persons. Why yachts too? The transition into electric cars started with expensive cars for the rich; maybe the transition for ships will follow a similar path. For ships, this is the transition out of bunker oil to power the ship into an energy system which is viewed as materially less polluting. Among the systems discussed in class are: ships running on methanol; liquefied or compressed natural gas; wind (including wind turbines); solar; hydrogen; electricity; nuclear; and hybrid systems that combine two or more of the above. You should discuss the comparative costs, the maturity of these technologies, and the practicality of converting current ships to these technologies. This raises the question of the size of the industry and the number of fueling places that would have to be considered. You should discuss a specific, actual, company or project which advances one or several of these technologies.
You may focus on any aspect of the topic that interests you: technologies used in green ships; the possibilities of combining the technologies; the possibilities of using different technologies for different types of ships. For example, inland shipping may change in a different manner than deep water shipping; cruise ships may use different technologies than container ships. You should look at current major companies or minor ones, including start-ups, devoted to green ships. One interesting angle is the potential number of oil and natural gas tankers that may suddenly be available for other uses, because of the energy transition itself. If these ships are not scrapped, they would have to be converted to green ships.
Your paper must be fully documented using footnotes, with citations for specific claims. Papers without full documentation, using footnotes, will receive a very low grade.
Also, if you simply add footnotes to a paper that uses some other system of references, the paper will receive a very low grade.
Under no circumstances should you infringe the copyright on published material. Setting aside all ethical issues, it is now fully detectable using the internet. So Brooklyn College’s strong position on the matter is easy to enforce.
NOTE: No one will get an A in this course without getting an A on this paper. Discussion Board assignments are simply to help you to research this paper. They can help you to get a good grade, but not an A.

“Combating Corruption: A Comparative Analysis of Anti-Corruption Policies in the United States and Singapore” Title: “The Global Fight Against Corruption: A Review of Key Literature and Lessons Learned”
“Beyond Borders: Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Policies”
Question Which anti-corruption measures are most effective in reducing corruption across The Unites States and Singapore?
Thesis statmenet-
When anti-corruption measures are thoroughly examined, it is clear that policies that combine mechanisms that promote transparency, strong legal frameworks, active participation from civil society, and strict enforcement mechanisms are more effective in reducing corruption. Effectively combating corruption on a global scale requires a multifaceted approach that integrates preventive measures like transparency in governance, strong accountability mechanisms, and the promotion of ethical conduct alongside punitive measures like effective law enforcement and prosecution of corrupt practices.
Research design-
My chosen research design is a qualitative case study. Case studies offer a chance to comprehend anti-corruption initiatives within their distinct socio-political, cultural, and institutional contexts, which is why I choose this study design. This makes it possible to comprehend these measures’ workings and the elements that influence whether they are successful or not. Case studies make it possible to analyze particular occurrences or examples in great detail. You can thoroughly examine the complexity and intricacies of the anti-corruption measures put in place in those environments by concentrating on one or a small number of examples (Gerring, 2004).

“Growing Justice and Sustainability: Implementing a Community Garden in Downtown Phoenix’s Tent City” “Improving Neighborhood Socioeconomics and Infrastructure: A Proposal for Homewood”
This research paper but you will be making it as a STORY MAP and it is diving deep into my proposal which is implemented into a neighborhood of my choice. That neighborhood is in downtown Phoenix. The neighborhood is “Downtown Phoenix’s Tent City”. So for my proposal I wanted to implement a community garden in the area which would at the end of the day help the homeless in many ways. For the proposal that i had to submitthis is what I mentioned.
. Why this city? Why this neighborhood/intersection/area? Phoenix, Arizona stands as a pivotal city for this research proposal due to its substantial homeless population and intense urban heat island effects. The city has been experiencing significant growth, which, while beneficial in some aspects, has exacerbated socioeconomic disparities and environmental stress. A community garden in the homeless community neighborhood, particularly around the intersection of 12th Avenue and Jefferson Street, could offer considerable benefits. This area is notable for its high concentration of homeless shelters and services, making it a strategic location for community based interventions.
2. Demographics, Built Landscape, and Economic Base: The target area is characterized by a high density of underutilized land and abandoned lots, surrounded by low income housing and homeless shelters. The demographic profile of this area primarily includes homeless individuals and low income families, many of whom face challenges such as unemployment or underemployment. The economic base of the area is relatively weak, with few job opportunities available locally, particularly those that offer livable wages without requiring advanced education or specialized training.
4. Purpose of the Community Garden: The primary goal of the community garden is to provide both a sustainable source of nutritious food and therapeutic space for the homeless and economically disadvantaged residents. Additionally, the garden would serve as a community hub, fostering social cohesion, offering educational opportunities about nutrition and farming, and potentially providing some residents with volunteer or even paid work opportunities
4. Challenges in the Realm of Justice, Sustainability, and Diversity (JSD)
● Justice: There is a significant lack of access to healthy food options and recreational spaces, which perpetuates health disparities among the homeless and low income residents.
● Sustainability: The area suffers from environmental degradation and a lack of green spaces, which contributes to severe urban heat and poor air quality.
● Diversity: Economic and racial inequalities are pronounced, with a large portion of the homeless population being people of color who have limited access to essential services.
Final Project
All sources must be cited appropriately, using APA, Chicago, or MLA formatting
A complete bibliography must be included
You should use at least 8 sources for your project; at least 5 of these must be scholarly sources
Be sure to proofread and edit the document
Most projects will be 1200-1600 words of text. People write differently. Don’t “fluff” up to reach 1200 words – if you have covered everything well, you’re done. Similarly if your essay is longer, don’t edit out critical information to get down to 1600 words (but do edit out redundant or irrelevant text).
Evaluation of the project:
(15%) Your understanding of JSD is clear and the links to the concerns of the 3 Es are clearly laid out in your proposed project (B) or your project comparison (C) or provides the context for your discussion of the book. Please note that ChatGPT believes that JSD refers to something that has nothing to do with this class.
(15%) Your final project or review is clearly linked to course material and concepts we have covered this semester.
(20%) Your final project or review is well-organized with supporting images where appropriate; sources, including images, are correctly cited (in-text and in the bibliography); your text is free of typos
(20%) Context: for “B” you have a rich description of the neighborhood and its place in the city, including a clear discussion of socioecononomics and infrastructure. Maps and tables are appropriate here.
This is what was posted by my professor.
This proposal should focus on a specific site and include specific recommendations that address the problems you have outlined in your introduction. For instance, you would not attempt to address air pollution in Pittsburgh. Instead, you would focus on a specific neighborhood, such as Homewood, and identify the challenges facing the area. You would then outline the specifics of a pregram that could address some of these challenges. For instance, if you are proposing a community garden, you would show where you would locate it, who would benefit and how (what are the demographics of the immediate neighborhhood? how will people get there? What challenges it would address (where are supermarkets and corner stores located? What do we know about public health in the neighborhood? Would this also address a lack of green space in the neighbohood? I stransportation (levels of var ownership and connectivity of public transit) relevant to your proposal? Are you creating jobs?
Including maps/data/images of the area since it is a story map -
