These traits associated with specific genders start from a very young age and follow people throughout their lives, and can affect people in different settings. For example, lots of traditional ideas that exist even now, such as the women can't be strong or men can't be vulnerable, affect everyone negatively. To achieve gender justice, we need to eliminate assumptions attached to genders and stop perpetuating gender stereotypes. ]]> 2022-04-21 05:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2151501436 Aadit https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2151501682 When people misunderstand issues such as gender justice, it becomes difficult to take action, as well as can lead to more stereotypes and can affect everybody negatively. One of the main misunderstandings of gender justice is that all genders will be totally equal. Genders such as males and females are biologically different, meaning it is not possible to attain gender equality as each gender has different needs that need to be fulfilled. Another misunderstanding is that gender equality is only for women, as they don't have the same opportunities as men. However, there are many more genders than male and female. Some genders need justice more than others, but that doesn't mean that it should only be for them. Gender justice is fighting for all genders to be treated in the right way.

- We must get non-OECD countries to reduce their usage of cheap harmful resources such as coal and adapt to using alternate resources, such as renewables. ]]> 2022-04-21 13:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2152080608 gephen https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2153113802 Gender justice will never be attained until everyone is clearly aware of the topic and the true impacts it has on all groups of people. There are many misconceptions about gender justice and what it means to fight for it. Many people make large assumptions and false accusations about gender justice without knowing what the strive for gender justice signifies. How does gender injustice influence and impact yourself?

1) According to undp.org least developed countries (LDC's) are the most vulnerable to climate change. They are also the least able to recover from climate stresses and their economic growth is highly dependent on the climate.
2) According to oecd.org about 96% of natural disaster-related deaths in recent years have taken place in LEDC's. Climate change has a high chance of increasing the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and storms and poor countries are least prepared to mitigate impacts of natural disasters.

In the article by the Times of India, we see that foods, like the iconic "Vada Pav", are now fully-vegan, demonstrating that humans want to help save animals. With this, came lots of support from doctors, nutritionists, activists, organizations, eg. PETA. This shows that once people create emotional connections with animals and environment, they take action!
An article from the Guardian explains how fishing companies such as "Nueva Pescanova" (mentioned in the article) are trying to use new unethical plans for octopus farming only for profit. However, news agencies, scientists, activists, etc have completely different perspectives and are raising awareness about animal welfare and championing a shift in mindset rather than economic opportunities. These perspectives have strong personal connections intended to take action to save and empathize with octopuses and prevent any unethical plans to them. ]]> 2022-04-24 13:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2155274521 Neil https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156145064 Racial Justice is a massive problem. A problem with people going as far as abusing it for their own financial gain, we might not be able to solve. 

According to the New York Post, The leaders of BLM, like most deceptive pastors, take advantage of good people. They are advocating for an unquestionably great cause.

There are also other examples of this claim being proven: A recent article by the New York Times suggests that those angered by the recent invasion of The Ukrainian People's Republic by the Russian Federation have gathered on the Chinese social media platform TikTok to create videos outlining and condemning the invasion has led to an almost discriminatory environment towards  Russian civilians who have not contributed to this devastating war.]]> 2022-04-25 10:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156296899 Sustaining Natural Resources - David https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156365415 GMO's may seem like something that could be harmful to our bodies as a common fear to a lot of people. but actually it's better for your body. According to the Plant Biotech Journal, GMO's improves someone's nutrient intake, preventing and/or treating leading causes of death such as cancer and diabetes.
And even in this world, such as the country Russia, 70% of the people in Russia believe that GMO's are harmful and unsafe towards our bodies according to the Pew Research Center. Even though tones of testing and evidence has been shown to the public, no matter the fact, people will still have a fear, from Harvard Researches to many more.
GMO's are crucial to help solve world hunger and good health and well-being, the fact right now is that there is enough food to feed the entire world population, but the accessibility to these food are difficult. GMO's are way cheaper than regular food and the benefit of consuming GMO's are the improvement of the consumers health.]]> 2022-04-25 11:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156365415 saanjali https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156547629 Racism is a complex problem with many different aspects to it.
To be able to achieve total racial justice, we need to stop stereotyping and pinpointing the blame on specific countries and look at the bigger picture. In an article by The ASEAN Post, they talk about a perspective that many of us have overlooked or not noticed. Racism in South East Asia. Since no one is talking about it people think that these things are normal and they don't need to be talked about. Whereas, actually we should make people more aware about this so that we can work towards Racial Justice.

A recent article by the cyber security of BBC who's job is to mainly hold companies accountable for cyber problems shared that social media makes it easier for people to communicate and help out others as it is a really diverse and widely use tool, so people could easily help and share their experiences with others. Social media if used in the correct way could potentially make some very big changes, for example, the climate change movements would have never took such a big knockout if the work wasn't spread out on social media for everyone to see.  Big companies also made tools to helping to make the world become a better place. A great example is donating blood, people became lifesavers with one click and this would've never happened without social media.
Although these great changes in such little years, social media is still relatively new to us, so we need to be more careful as it could still be very risky and we don't exactly know all of the knock on effect it could cause. We just have to hope that the next generation could bring up their game and continue to learn and research about social media and maybe we would be able to see more positive outlooks. ]]> 2022-04-25 14:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156624072 Saki https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156658993 Social media results in a source for specifically filtered entertainment from specific perspectives. According to the Washington Post, Russia's war against Ukraine has been termed the "TikTok War" by commentators. Social media platforms' algorithms are geared toward boosting emotional reactions and personalizing our feeds. What you see on the internet may not be the same as what others view. The fact that Syrians or Ethiopians have smartphones and have been shooting and posting films of their battles has not ensured overwhelming international sympathy. Additionally, The TikTok conflict is inherently devoid of context. During emergencies, people flock to social media sites in real-time to assess the situation. However, decontextualized and controversial posts are more likely to become viral than articles that have been well studied and validated. Ultimately, Disinformation is still a huge issue, and millions of TikTok videos with false information about the conflict have already been shared. This isn't specific to TikTok or even social media, though. Propaganda has always been an important tool of war, but now it's big Internet platform companies, not just politicians or war profiteers, who benefit.]]> 2022-04-25 14:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156658993 Sakura https://padlet.com/jra10/6bboytfqa3yu7o8/wish/2156754112 All animals, including humans, wild and domestic animals are entitled to their rights. One side argues that the consequences of accepting animal rights are positive. It could mean to take actions such as reducing experiments on animals, banning hunting and zoos or using animals for entertainment. On the other hand, people who go against animal rights argue that non-human animals do not have common senses and cannot think or behave morally.

issue which affects many, but still firms and governments aren't taking action on. According to forbes, because scientists often exaggerate the effects of climate the youth are panicking and this is causing over 90% more anxiety among the younger ages. Instead of spreading panic among citizens, if goverments and firms started taking action this would lead to a greater impact and reduce civilian worry.The effects of climate change affect many and that population will rise. With water droughts, and harsh conditions, the lives of humans and animals are being put in danger. But news agencies and goverments are chosing to focus on politics when goverments should be working together to stop this global issue. For example, even after the Greta Thunberg protest in sweden, there is little done by firms and goverments in order to reach their 2045 zero emissions pledge.
