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.
