Global Issues Wordle
In the class, we are learning about how to take care of others. We are becoming more aware and more responsible about our behavior and the environment. The environment is not just plants and animals, but the social environment as well and even in economy. Global issues are really huge, but we are learning to start small. I created this wordle to think more clearly and simple to understand what poor people and people suffering around the world.
For me, Global Issues means important things that are happening around the world. More specifically, it is suffering and lack of basic needs and security of the Less Developed Countries. And I think it is our responsibility to stop this crisis. Global issues are really important because it is happening in our world, we must give a helping hand, then they will give us a helping hand when we are suffering. For the less developed countries (people) poverty, and lack of basic needs is a downward spiral, and a never-ending cycle; once they run out of money, they need to borrow money from a moneylender, and they will never be able to be free of it, because of the high interest (World Bank). In my opinion, when we can stop this, we can develop more and more. We can concentrate in our work when they can support themselves.
Not only less developed countries suffer; there are many problems in the whole world. For example, there are environmental problems. We will soon run out of drinking water and fossil fuels. Most importantly, we are wasting. We are wasting electricity, water and paper. How many of you brush your teeth while the tap is running? How many of you keep your room light on while your watching TV in the living room? Moreover, we are polluting the world while we are wasting. Using only 1 side of paper, not using all of the space provided… we could easily Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’ - Lao Tzu
