Haiti mini study

source

After the earthquake, Haiti is now in all kinds of distress. They have no shelter, no food, water and many of their lives have been lost. This puts them in a bad mood, making them unable to think right. Important people died in this event such as ; parents, officials, policemen and such. Children are a big problem too, they can't build anything, they can't take care of themselves so they are something that also troubles them. Many people are not taking action in the least. But all they do is pity them. That is not needed. Haitians need help, they need supplies of food and other human needs. Many countries can help. Countries with several sources can help. However almost all the companies want something in return. Therefore, they don't help. If the countries manage to help, all the Haiti disasters would be dealt with easily.

The Haiti Game was extremely difficult. You have to constantly balance everything in your life such as Happiness, Wealth, Health, etc. In the game my main goal was happiness. But I still needed to get the good balances for my other basic needs. My theory is that it is almost impossible to get highest in every single status. It is possible to get the max in one status though. I never did won this game.

Going back to the real Haiti, I really believe that Haiti can recover and hopefully be better in status than before.

Action Project Reflection

In the shark fin awareness project, we tried showed the school the shark fin crisis. We made students more involved in crisis. We also made money to help the sharks. Many students came to our action project. We had bake sales, videos, games and many fundraisers. However, most of the people who came were 7th graders, we should have moved the project somewhere more public. I never knew how big the shark fin trauma was and hopefully the students are also changed by our project.

Sharks of the World

After the years, the media has changed the way we think about sharks. Now the world thinks as sharks as vicious and deadly creatures who crave for anything that steps into the sea. But, these are not facts. Only opinions. The truth is that sharks are way more afraid of us than we are afraid of them. Sharks are the ones who control the sea, they are the reason why animals of the ocean adapt. They control the seas, stabilizing the amount of living things in it.Since sharks are known to be a threat to mankind, no one cares about them. Sharks have been killed for their fins, meat and other parts.

Sharkwater is about one man's strive to show the world what sharks really are. This film is a guarantee to change your opinions about sharks.

Malaysia Week Review

After seeing a ridiculous amount of trash being washed up from the sea, the group decided to clean it up. The Group Leaders and Guides showed us the impact on the environment, it was a heart breaking result. But after we cleaned up the shore, it shows how easy it is to make up for all the mistake if everyone did their fair part. It doesn't have to be big, you don't need big events to clean the world. Even the smallest of things can help. It feels good to do your part.

What Is Global Issues

If the world is our home, then why are we killing it and everything that lives on it? Why are we being unfair? Why do we take but never give?

These questions are only part of Global Issues. Global Issues are all the problems caused mainly by people. Examples of Global Issues are littering, wasting, poverty, financial problems, uncaring minds and much more. And even to the ones who don’t contribute in wasting and or inequality, we still need to help.

It is normal to use resources; it is fine to use plastic, electricity, water and other resources. However, wasting is a huge issue. People usually think that to save the economy, it has to be big helps, with big company sponsors and such. But the smallest of things like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, not using plastic, eating all your food could help.

There are many people whom are homeless, sick and have nothing. It is not their fault, it may the cause of strong storms, earth quakes, not being able to get enough education, etc.

But since the world is filled with people, it should be easy to save the world and the helpless people. But most of us are just too lazy to do anything. People who can help need to understand more. People have to learn to care and know what is t is like to be in a situation. Everyone needs to learn to help, that is why Global Issues is an ISKL subject. It actually it is easy to help. If everyone does a small part in helping, the world would be much more peaceful and happy.

Third World Farmer Refletion

This is a game and or simulation that makes us think about strategies, daily lives of people in farms and challenges our way of thinking.

A tip for this game is to NOT think short term. It might be worth it for a short period of time, but it almost always have backfires. For example, if you dumped some garbage in front of your house for a few hundred dollars, your family will eventually get sick therefore making you pay more money. Selling your children, accepting army camps, showing off and even marriage might be danger to your profits and life.

The best kinds of strategies involve long term thinking. Saving up money, having secure water and food supply, having support suchas a voice or insurance. Long terms might not work immediately, but they do have better benefits and advantages. It is all mainly choices, making the right choice. Real farmers have to think about these things too. It might be easy for us to just take risks and say whatever to them. Imagine yourself being in a position where your family membbers were dying or you needed money badly.

In this thinking game, you really have to Think Creatively and Reason Critically. Taking too many risks dangers your chances while taking too little or no risks also dangers your chances of survival. Logic is what this game is about.
