Looking back Global Issues class...


In trimester 1, Global Issues class, we have learnt a lot of things. We leanrt what is Global Issues, how can we make a difference, and why is peace so important. There are alot more questions but these are the main ideas. I found out that our earth is full of trash, so we made a rap about recycling. We also had Socratic Seminar about how is Peace linked to Development. Global Issues are Main Issues around the world. I learnt that to reduce the Global Issues, we need to have PEACE. During our last 2 weeks, we played many type of games, such as 'the 3rd world farmer' and 'Ayiti, the cost of life'. These games were not a easy game, because I had to make careful decisions. However, it was fun and exciting. Global Issues class was fun and it was truly a difficult subject. I had to know about issues around the world in political, religious ways. After I listen to this class I felt that I am lucky to have parents and lucky that I can go to schoo. I also felt that there are many people seeking for our help. So, this class was a chance for me to look around the world and see if there's anyone who needs help. Lastly, I think Mrs. P made our class so interesting and exciting, so THANK YOU!

Peace Day


Can we live without peace?
No, we can't live without peace, because 'Peace' relates to everything. Peace relates to violence, health, hunger...etc. If there's no peace, people will dying from war. Because of the war, the environment gets dirtier so people can also get diseases. If they spend money on their health, there will be no money for food. So, we can't live without peace and we shouldn't live without peace.

What is the link between peace and a country's development?
The link between peace and a country's development is similar to question above. If there's no peace, anything we hope not to happen happens. If a country's people keep dying out and live in poverty, the country can't develop, because they have to take care of their citizens and because citizens are fighting to stay alive, they can't increase tax. As you can see, without peace can even make the whole country miserable. So, we need to have peace.
