Global - "Racism in healthcare systems is a global issue that results in many unnecessary deaths." "A May 2020 study estimates that Black people were 3.57 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than white people."

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 16:42:38 UTC

Healthcare is one of the most important things that should be equal to everyone. It doesn't matter what race you are everyone should be equally treated. The fact indifference is going on in the healthcare system is horrible. Everyone needs healthcare and it could save many peoples lives. It is getting better but not good enough. This is because there isn't enough people trying to help out.

Local - "Demand for our services is increasing. Youth make up the fastest-growing population of homeless people in Canada, and their needs are changing, requiring longer stays and deeper support."

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 17:10:08 UTC

Toronto is one of the most wealthy cities if not the most wealthy city in Canada. That said, there are still many homeless people living there. Homelessness of all ages is a bad thing but the amount of youth homelessness people is horrible. A high amount the homelessness in Toronto is made up of the youth. This is a problem because there is currently a slightly low amount of awareness on this situation and something needs to be done about it. Some people are indifferent towards this major problem and don't really care that much because it doesn't affect them.

Local - "Toronto remained under a special weather statement on Thursday [June 6, 2023] for the third day in a row, but the level of air pollution dropped slightly in the evening, according to Environment Canada."

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 17:33:54 UTC

Pollution is a serious thing that not enough people care about. Many people are not concerned about pollution at all and are negligent about it. Air pollution is a very important thing that we can reduce but don't. This is because lots of people don't care and just want to live on with their day but something needs to change. If everyone even did one less thing ever day that could help with air pollution, even if it was something small, then everything would be better. Unfortunately, there is only a small group of people trying to do something about this issue.

Global - "The majority [of wildfires] are caused by humans — including from off-road vehicles, campfires, fireworks, ammunition, industrial activity, agriculture, power lines and some arson"

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 17:58:56 UTC

Wildfires are a huge problem all around the world. Because of humans the Earth is getting hotter and forest are getting burnt down by accident. Because the Earth is hotter fires will last longer and trees are dry from a lack a rain. Because of this lack of rain the trees are more likely to catch on fire. Along with that lots of people don't pay attention around their fire and it can end up spreading and burning down an entire forest. People need to pay attention because if they don't more fires will keep happening. There are 2 simple ways to fix this. First, People need to be more careful and second, people can also donate to companies that deal with these types of problems.

Local - "Canada's indifference to the deaths of seven First Nations teenagers is 'just plain racism"

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 18:26:09 UTC

Seven First Nation teenagers died from 2000 to 2011 in Thunder Bay. These seven were forced to leave their families and go hundreds for miles away from them. This is just wrong. Canada's indifference to the deaths of these seven teenagers is horrible. This happened many years ago and Canada has gotten better but this is still horrible and not nearly enough was done about it.

How to solve indifference

jadendawkins17 — 2024-07-05 18:35:00 UTC

Indifference is all over the place. It is on global scales, local scales, and even personal scales and there are many ways to solve it. Depending on the level of indifference there are different ways to solve it. If it is on a global or local scale then you can use your voice and try to tell people about the problem. You can put up posters about it and try to spread the word. After that people will know about the problem and try to help out.
