It has a lot of impact on people. For example, exercising from sports allows the body to lose weight and increase stamina. However, age matters when doing sports since some age groups are unable to do very spontaneous sports due to their body. Some people are unable to do certain sports due to their physical well-being such as their health or any physical illnesses. Some sports are able to be done by multiple people at once. For example, exercising with family and friends. They are able to play sports with each other like a match of football against each other. However, we do have to remember to have great sportsmanship and not allow some sports activities to get very intense and cause some fights. Sports' impact on the world can allow the world to maintain great physical health which can reduce the number of physical illnesses and diseases such as diabetes.

sports that are popular globally are: soccer/football, tennis, basketball and cricket.

major events for sports include: Olympics (every 4 years), FIFA World cup(every 4 years), Superbowl (American football, annually), Wimbledon (tennis, annually).

recent developments:

In the 2024 Olympics, breakdancing was introduced as a sport, however, it was shortly removed after the Paris Olympics and will not be part of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as it did not fit their vision of the Games.

Sports has taken a sustainable route like sustainable equipment design, manufacturers are looking into eco-friendly materials such as bio-degradable components and recycled fabrics

Athletes benefit from these technological developments through biometric monitoring, wearable devices now track advanced biometrics like muscle activation and hydration levels. This provides a deeper insight into an athletes performance and recovery.

Not so recently, in 2021, SUSS (Singapore University of Social Sciences) launched a program "the Sports for Good Fund", this program supports SUSS Competition Groups in creating sports programmes for the underdserved.

In my experience, my grandmother wanted to go to the park to exercise early in the morning and she suggested me to follow with her and we not only did exercises but also had a little talk and bonded .

In my experience , my grandfather has to always go to his weekly clinic health checkup and it is usually cheaper for him because he uses his CHAS card and it subsidises the bill for him and carries the burden of his cost of living.

content knowledge:

schools teach a variety of subjects that will later on help students when they step into the working world.

Primary education focuses more on the base subjects of Mathematics, Sciences, English and Mother Tongue/ Second language

Secondary education focuses on the same 4 base subjects but with Humanities and Coursework on top of its syllabus

Tertiary education, just a step below University, allows students to choose a course they aspire to be in, a course that would allow an advantage in the working world or in University.

there different types of schools in the world, including: Public schools, Private schools, Magnet schools (public school but with specialised programs such as the arts or sciences), Religious schools, Homeschooling, and Online School (like Home-based Learning but for the entire academic year), there are also schools that cater to special needs students (students on the autism spectrum or cerebral palsy)

Many children in underdeveloped countries are not able to attend schools as it may be too expensive or that their household could only send one child to school, resulting in about 14% of the global population above 15 years old are illiterate, they do not know how to read or write.

Impact:

basic education allows for anyone to find a job, though it may not be the most financially stable job or even a job with flexible hours

with more advanced education like a University degree, the options for jobs are wider, leading to a larger income

along with better jobs, education also helps to boost the economy, due to a more skilled workforce

Just for example, 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing is a technology that creates three dimensional objects from digital designs by adding material by layer and layer.

The BMW group has been using 3D printers since 1991,which design components for special models, concept cars, prototypes and race cars as well as for production models.

This practice things bring multiple benefits for everyone. The most important beneficial is that 3D printing uses only the necessary material, minimizing waste compared to subtractive manufacturing processes. BMW's 3D printing cuts carbon emissions. It uses recycled materials, which helps save resources and reduces pollution from car production.

Exticntion definitions : the complete disappearance of a species from earth

over 900 species have been extinct since 1500s

impact on the world: reduces biodiversity, disrupt the ecosystem, have a potential cascading effects that can threaten human beings and the stability of global food system

kids recently born will not be able to see the extinct animals in real life and will only be able to see them through pictures - this is very sad

a decrease in a species will cause a decrease in another species due to the food chain

example: In 2021, Colossal Biosciences, are attempting to "de-extinct" the woolly mammoth by aiming for a hybrid "mammophant" by genetically modifying elephants to express mammoth traits.

Public transport is cheaper and eco friendly since we do not need to fork out money to pay for the certificate of entitlement (COE) like we do for cars instead we pay for train/bus fares which is at most $1 for students and $1.19 for adults when taking the train. Even though the fare increases by 6% every year but it is not as expensive as COE which is $302,368. Hence, Public transport is cheaper. In addition, the impact of public transport is not as severe as private owned vehicles since they have a lesser carbon footprint. Besides public transport being more eco-friendly, it is very financially friendly. Hence, taking public transport is like killing two birds with one stone since it is friendly towards the environment and good for your wallet.

However private owned vehicles are more convenient in terms of desperate times for example when a person is late but if multiple people it will add on to the congestion on the road which will make everyone more late. On the other hand, public transport is not as convenient as private owned cars but they can help with the congestion on the road which can still result in a person being on time.

Thus, I feel motivated when I see the SBS transit employee of the month because he/she motivates and push me to be a better commuter and person on public transports

SUMMARY: It is most important that we look after and care for our nature as it underpins our economy through tourism and farming, and indeed, our very most existence. Our forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate our crops with. We need to look at the value of nature in economic and social terms to help us better understand the full implications of the choices we make. For example; the WWF is an organisation based in the United Kingdom which is taking the most action towards preserving and protecting our nature. They are the leading global environmental charity working to bring the earth back to life. Their most recent and recognisable motive - The Living Planet Act, is a petition which would mean the UK government has to take ‘joined-up’ action to stop the climate crisis and look after nature in hopes that not only the UK, but other countries take action in reaching the common goal of a healthy, green and prosperous Earth.

wildlife has been affecting people, community in all around the world.

-Due to deforestation, it caused wildlife to lose their habitat which leads to them to find a new home in neighbourhoods nearby.

-When they venture into neighbourhoods, this would make them see humans as a threat and attack them as most humans do not know how to act when they see wildlife and they might provoke the wildlife.

-For example, when humans are trekking they might see a monkey and give them food. I've came across an article where people would feed monkeys and ended up getting attacked as they didn't give them more.

-When there are a lot of people getting attacked, the government will start to implement laws. For example in Singapore, they made feeding wildlife illegal and the fine is up to $10 000. This way it prevents people from getting attacked which educates people about the dangers on feeding wildlife.

positive

-Widlife can help with pest control by keeping pest populations in check. for example, bats save billions in pest control by eating crop-damaging pest, saving our crops supply for humans and animals.

Also, there are more and more AI tools available nowadays to help assist students with not just academic concepts but as well as daily life tips and future suggestions. Allowing students to be more familiarized with their education, dreaming career pathways, as well as to have a much clear understanding of their subjects topics and solve the questions they have in mind with answers that have clear explanations and specific elaborations with examples or evidences generated by AI tools, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Notion AI and others.

In addition, technology plays an important role in Entertainment and Medias. For example, apps like Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Whatsapp,Threads, Youtube and others, allow people from all over the world to meet each other on social media, as well as share individual thoughts and posts with everyone. This helps to promote friendships as well as maintain social well-being. People are also able to listen to music, watch videos as well as be updated by the recent news and announcements, so that they are aware of what is happening in their countries and others, which provides people with basic political knowledge as well as logic senses.
