This assignment is worth 10% of your final grade for this course. The overarching goal of this assignment is to identify and apply a systematic method for problem-solving guided by your sophisticated use of the LOs. Choose one of the following topics: Online Scams https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2023/04/09/is-it-worth-having-personal-insurance-to- guard-against-online-scams/ Plastic Bags https://www.thenationalnews.com/climate/environment/2023/01/12/what-does-the-uaes-ban- on-single-use-plastics-mean-for-the-environment/ Workers and Summer Heat https://www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/editorial/2023/08/17/uae-summer-heat-workers- employers-health/ Note: (1) Make sure to select a tractable sub-topic within these broad topic areas. This will allow for a more effective application of LOs, and a sub-topic is rarely too specific or narrow./n(2) The resources linked above are intended to serve as a starting point for your research. You must identify additional readings and sources. Part I: The Method. Clearly summarize your method by identifying the steps you would use to approach your specific sub-problem, including where you would apply specific LOs. Include your systematic method as a flowchart, outline, or list of bulleted points (this should not be a narrative, and should not include any additional content not included in the narrative section below). (Note: Refer to the pre-class reading about fishbone diagrams in Session 5 for an example of how to outline your strategy/process). Part II: Application. Apply your systematic method by characterizing and proposing solutions for one of the topics listed. Research and learn about the problem and then apply the Problem Solving LOs to propose solutions. This narrative portion of your assignment should include three sections (900-1100 words):
