Energy and Environmental Security in Qatar
Paper Subject and instructions: Environmental Security Analysis Project in Qatar (Energy lens)
- Objectives
The ESAP (Environmental Security Analysis Project) has two main objectives:
- Learn how to examine a set of an environmental security issues within a geographic region, analyze them, and discuss ways to address the environmental and security problems in a way that will enhance the security of that region.
- Appreciate the importance of factoring the potential effects and impacts of the natural environment into policy making before a situation requires U.S. intervention through humanitarian/economic relief or military
- Lens to analyze the environmental security in Lebanon: (Energy (use and/or production))
Question:
Your paper should answer BOTH of the two following questions.
- a) What is the relationship between Energy and Environmental Security in Qatar?
- b) What policy initiatives need to be implemented regarding Energy in order to create a heightened level of Environmental Security for Lebanon in order to avoid social, economic stress and conflict?”
Your paper should be between 1800 – 2200 words, excluding referencing. You are allowed to use any reference style you choose, so long as you are consistent and adhere to the style. Ensure you reference appropriately throughout your paper as a lack of referencing will be read as plagiarism.
Instructions for the outline of the paper:
- A cover page with your chosen country, lenses and your name
- A one page summary that begins to answer the questions above in a broad way. This summary should be informed by the readings done for the annotated bibliography and can also include citations from other sources.
- A detailed outline of your paper
- A reference page with at least 16 references, which must come from academic journal articles.
Note that the more detailed your outline is, the more feedback I can give you and the better your grade is likely to be.
- Summary: The summary should be a thorough overview of the entire paper; authors should avoid merely writing an introduction. A certain level of analytical critique and engagement with the literature should be present. Grammar, clarity, and referencing should be commensurate with marking descriptors.
- Outline: The outline should be thorough and detailed. Sources and research should be addressed directly and fully incorporated into the outline. Authors should show a factual basis for their argument as well as the progression of said argument. Thesis statements should be clearly represented.
- Bibliography and referencing: At least 16 sources should be present; the sources should be academic. Referencing should be prolific throughout the outline and summary. Both in-text and bibliographic referencing should be correct based on APA format.

Engineering Ethics
Your final paper for this course will be an in-depth analysis of an accident or mistake related to your engineering field. You should imagine your reader to be someone who is not a member of this class, but who has some interest in engineering ethics. And you should be trying to convince him or her that a serious but avoidable mistake occurred.
Your paper should have the same elements as all in-depth analyses from class and presentations:
- Briefly give a synopsis of your example (This can be your introduction)
- Identify all relevant people involved
- Give all the important engineering facts of the case
- Give all the important personal decision/managerial/cultural climate/political facts of the case
- Chose one moral theory (Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, or Virtue Ethics) to assess the example in detail. Explain the theory a bit before applying it to your case.
- Give two pieces of advice to your classmates for how to avoid this kind of mistake in the future (This can be your conclusion) I am conversant with this topic
The paper should be 4 pages, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. The entire paper should be in paragraph form (the only exception is for a possible utility calculation).
As for topics, you may choose whatever accident or mistake you want for your paper so long it has not been discussed in our classroom. That is, it cannot be something we discussed as a class (check the syllabus), and it cannot be the same topic from your in-class presentation or any of the other in-class presentations from your class (check the presentation groups). You do not need to have your topic approved by me (although I can certainly give you feedback if you want it).
Punctuation and Grammar counts for 1/3 of a letter grade. For each punctuation and/or grammatical mistake, I will put a small checkmark in the left-hand margin. If there are three or more checkmarks on a single page, then you will get 1/3 of a letter grade off for grammar. I’ll mark this explicitly on your paper by giving you the grade you earned, then saying “1/3 off for grammar,” and then showing you your newly calculated grade. You will get a checkmark for the following mistakes, among others: misuse of commas, semicolons, colons; subject/verb disagreement; possessive mistakes; misuse of ‘there’, ‘their’, and ‘they’re’; misuse of ‘your’ and ‘you’re’; misuse of ‘its’ and ‘it’s’; spelling mistakes.
Appropriate citation is required: If you look at a website for ideas, list the url at the end of your paper under “works referenced.” If you paraphrase someone else’s ideas in your own words, put the url or the author’s name and article title at the end of the paragraph you’ve paraphrased. If you cite something directly, be sure to put it in quotation marks, and put the author’s name and article title or the url at the end of the sentence. Remember that your papers will be checked for originality at www.turnitin.com.
NOTE: You may wish to consult your fellow students, parents, or friends about your assignment. I encourage you to do so. However (and this is crucial), any help you get must be acknowledged. If your mom reads your assignment over to check your grammar, include a footnote or endnote thanking her for this service. If you discuss the general ideas you have with a friend, write “Thanks to Lisa Kudrow for a helpful discussion” or something of the sort. If you borrow a specific idea from someone, put in a footnote saying “I got this idea from Mark Improvement” or whoever. ALSO IMPORTANT: although I’m all in favor of talking about philosophy assignments with others, you are not permitted to actually write together, or to write up shared outlines, or to share written work with one another, or even to memorize a shared answer. Be sensible here: don’t give a copy of your essay to someone else who “just wants to get an idea” for his own paper, since you will both count as cheating. The minimum likely penalty for cheating is E for the assignment, and possibly expulsion from the university. And that would be painful for both of us!
