For example, our projects we just did were great ways to be an active global citizens. For me, I learned more on how I can help for my issue that I already knew about, but now I know ways on how to help. ]]> 2021-05-04 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490252474 mruf115047 https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490263739 I believe the most important issue the world faces today is acceptance. Almost every country has struggles accepting minorities and I believe that it isn't prioritized as much as it should be. For example, the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar is something I only learned about this year, these people are being ethnically cleansed, but I only just found out about it. Along with that, the muslim crisis in China. A lot of these issues can cause violence and could even possibly lead to war. Many countries like those in the middle east are fighting wars over their differences in religion. A lot of these acceptance conflicts have led to nuclear proliferation which doesn't just threat the countries in conflict but the entire world. If we were able to focus on acceptance I believe that a lot of other global issues like war and refugee programs could be solved. ]]> 2021-05-04 15:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490263739 mruf115047 https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490290087 As a global citizen, your job is to allow yourself to be engaged in different international issues and formulate opinions or even act on them if you can. As a national citizen, your job is to be active in your country's politics, policies and other things which could also help your global citizenship status. ]]> 2021-05-04 15:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490290087 mruf115047 https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490301859 Starting with local responsibilities, your job is to be actively engaged in things going on in your community. Communities being your neighborhood, schools or clubs. Participating in your community also helps your local citizen status due to your engagement with different communities. At a national level your responsibility is to be active in issues at a national level, and voting. Voting helps you get your voice heard and helps with solving the national issues you wish to conquer. And at a global level, your responsibility is to be engaged with different issues world wide. This could be drought, pollution, immigration among many things, but being actively engaged in world issues is a big step a lot of people don't do. ]]> 2021-05-04 15:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490301859 mruf115047 https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490322501 To act locally on global issues, your job first is to research the issue and make sure you understand the issues throughly. Then, look up different non profits, communal groups or clubs your could participate in. Things like for example UN Human Rights' #StandUp4Migrants website to do activities to help with immigration stigma.]]> 2021-05-04 15:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490322501 mruf115047 https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490345999 Thanks to this class, I will be able to continually educate myself on global issues and participate locally on the issues I deem important. This class was very useful to not only me but I'm sure it was useful to the communities affected by these issues. The more knowledge the more power we have to help others. Thank you so much Mr. Boyd for the amazing class not only this year but last year. I always looked forward to learning something new and I'll never forget all of the interesting things you taught me. You are by far my favorite teacher from High School and I hope your years in school will continue with greatness. Thank you!]]> 2021-05-04 16:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mruf115047/f4kajyvj4oafvwhp/wish/1490345999
