Once you’ve gathered information about the mine and its environmental impact, you will choose FIVE stakeholders (individuals, groups, or agencies involved in, interested in, or impacted by the mine project). For each of these stakeholders, write a short summary of the mine project from that stakeholder’s point-of-view. In particular, these different perspectives should reflect the different values and priorities of the stakeholders. Each stakeholder’s summary should be 1-2 paragraphs (about 200-500 words), for a total submission length of 1000-2500 words. Use the link below to submit your paper through turnitin.com.
This is not a research paper. No citations are necessary. The paper should be written in your own words, but if you absolutely must quote a source, you can make the citation in any form (e.g., LA Times, 2021). I’m more interested in the content of your work than the way you cite things.
