Global Issues

I studied Global Issues with Mrs. Psilides in trimaster 1. I learnt many things in Global Issues class and mainly we talked about Peace. Basically, Peace is one of the most important thing to survive in this world. If we don't have peace we have war and end up dying, but if we have peace we can live happily and pecefully. We also learnt about recycling and we performed the Recycling Rap show infront of middle school students. I think I had exciting time in this class studying with very nice teacher, Mrs P. Very thank you lah!

Playing for change

The massage in the video is telling us to change the world. In that video, all the people with different nationalities gathered around with music to create a message. The reaction I had was that I was very surprised that the organization of this massege traveled around the world for 4 years and recorded this incredible video. I think this will make a huge difference with other musicians in the other countries because they would feel that they are connected and peaceful. This is important because this video can make the world to be as one.

Finally!! Difference

I read this article and it said that 10,00 fewer children are dying. That is 30% of children age under 5 that died in 1990. It made me really happy and I was impressive because that meant that people in the world are trying to change the world. People made the change by giving them food with vitamin A and vaccinations. To make less children die, we should keep provide them food and money. In the article it said "Free Health Care can save millions more". I also think that we should volunteer to help them. I hope people in the world stand up and make a change to reach a peace goal.

Big ideas from the video " Peace One Day" and why is peace so important

Big ideas in the "Peace One Day" are that we need to have peace and be peaceful to everyone. When I saw all the people shooting each other, I felt really, really bad. I don't really understand why they kill and hurt themselves. Can't they have peace? In the video, the filmmaker, Jeremy Gilley was really trying to make peace one day.He made that video to tell people to get involve in peace. I think if peace one day happens, it can spread out to peace one week and peace one month and at the end, peace forever. Peace is really important because the wars around the world will stop and people won't die from the war. Peace can protect humans from danger. I hope peace comes soon.

What are global issues and why do I care?

Global issues are problems that are going around this world. There are most of the global issues are environmental issues and disease. For examples of environmental issues are global warming, Tsunami, water pollution and other serious pollutions. Examples of Diseases are H1N1, Mad cow disease (Around 2000~2008) and Avian Flu. I care about these issues because many people will lose their lives. If million people donate 1 dollar each, million dollars will be donated. Also, if we don’t solve these problems, our descendants will be affected to these issues.
