Global issues are serious!



Global issues really leads to the SLR living ethically because we are considering how to help other people. In this class we are learning how to care for other people in other places. We are becoming more aware and responsible about our behavior and the environment. The environment is not just plants and animals but the social environment as well and even the economy. Global issues are really huge but we are learning to start small. This wordle I created represents what I think about what what global issues are.

Global Issues

Please respond to the following questions:
1) What are Global Issues?
2) Why should I care about Global Issues?
A global issue (the topic) is when there is a problem going on around the world and you discuss them in Global Issues (the class) to get a better understanding of them. You learn what needs to be done and you know that you can help.
I should care about Global Issues because there are people out there in poverty and there are wars going on and the human race isn't getting along well. If I understand it and take the time to learn about it, I can do something about it and I can make a difference.
Take a look at this video...how does it make you feel? Why does it work so well?
This video encourages me to help the people in poverty. It also makes me want to tell others about it so that they may help too.
This video works so well because they are repeating things a lot and that makes you get it in your head.
