What is terrorism?

A threat to the security of a country or area. The use of threats or violence to advance a religious, political, racial, or ideological cause. Usually against civilians, for political aims/goals.

Reflection:

Radicalization can happen to anyone, especially vulnerable people. There are many terrorist groups, and many extremists as well, these may be people with extreme beliefs or views on how people/the country should be run.

Self-care and Mental Health

448250_1 — 2025-09-30 12:11:30 UTC

I found the statistics interesting and I found it interesting how you should be off your phone 30 mins before you go to bed for the best quality of sleep possible. A healthy diet can contribute to the amount of stress, as the gut is sends happy signals to the brain when eating good food.

Career development

448250_1 — 2025-11-11 14:13:18 UTC

I learned about being a clinical psychologist and what the job includes. I found it very interesting as there are a lot of variations as some require extensive education such as a doctorate and others only mention an undergraduate in psychology.

Financial Harm

448250_1 — 2025-11-27 08:59:26 UTC

I learned all about the different types of scams and acts which I found interesting. I also found it sad how easy that scams can be to extort people and cause harm. It also showed ways to protect yourself and who you can contact to seek help.

Health & Safety

448250_1 — 2025-12-02 09:09:26 UTC

The powerpoint was interesting it expanded on my knowledge about risk assessments and gave me a more in depth overview such as the 5 step assessment model that offers a template for employers. Also when controlling or reducing risk the workplaces will use the hierarchy of control measures.

Sexual Health

448250_1 — 2025-12-02 09:09:35 UTC

I know where to access help if needed, and I am aware of lots of services such as Yuno and SGS wellbeing services if I am need of support. The powerpoint also offered a lot of interesting figures, such as that 40% young people use social media search engines more than google.

Drugs and substances

448250_1 — 2025-12-09 13:29:44 UTC

I found this interesting as 68% of teens said they would refuse substances if they knew more about the effects. There are short term effects and long term effects that can vary, the short term ones can give temporary relief but long term it can be extremely detrimental to your health. There are many debates about whether drugs should be illegal, and some countries that have legalized it have had increased support for addiction, removed the stigma and various other benefits, however this doesn't mean that drugs are okay. I think that people should know more about effects of drugs as a society but not be quick to judge someone with addiction, as sometimes they could be using to cope. Not encouraging people to do it, just listening to those who do.

Career development

448250_1 — 2026-01-15 08:55:23 UTC

I liked making the timeline because I thought it gave me a better sense and options about what i can do after T level which is take a break and work in retail for a while or do HLTA course whilst working as a TA. I am still not sure what I am going to pick yet but I enjoy considering my options.

World Religion day

448250_1 — 2026-01-15 08:57:16 UTC

I liked learning about the major religions and a smaller lesser known religion, I learned the 3 largest religions are Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. I enjoy learning about different religions and I like learning about spiritual religions and how they influence peoples morals and daily lives.

Bystander

448250_1 — 2026-01-27 13:48:40 UTC

Holly Gazzard Trust

Created by her parents after she was fatally stabbed by her ex. A bystander is someone who witnesses a crime or a situation. Active bystander is someone who acts and reports. I also learned if pluralistic ignorance, which when you see others aren't reacting - you interpret the situation is okay.

Online Safety

448250_1 — 2026-02-24 13:47:50 UTC

Learned about lots of things such as phishing, scams and deepfake and AI and I learned lots about various websites that i can seek out if I need help.

I also learned about how easy it is for people to find out information about you and the importance of safety online, I really enjoyed it because it was informative and it covered loads of points about online safety.

Career development

448250_1 — 2026-02-24 13:52:48 UTC

I learned about different careers such as a TA, HLTA and teacher and explored some different options. I am feeling a lot more confident in my choice for after college and I also learned where to seek help from if I need it such as national careers service or booking a meeting with a careers advisor.

Colleges week

448250_1 — 2026-03-03 13:33:12 UTC

The powerpoint made me reflect and think about my life at college and the teaching and how comfortable I am here, as well as what drew me to this college in the first place and why I chose to continue my studies here.

What drew me to this college was the courses that it offered as it was recommended to me by my careers advisor in secondary school. Since then I have started to progress through early years.

Technical skills I learned on my course are patience and writing skills, as industry placement has helped me move out of my comfort zone and grow as a person.

I find teamwork the hardest as I feel like I am very quiet however I am working on this because I acknowledge my struggles and try and improve them which this course allows me to do confidently.

Its important that opportunities are accessible to all as everyone is equally important and matters, barriers that can easily be avoided should be avoided with no excuse.

It also made me think about my own skills and mentality by encouraging the growth mindset point of view.

International women's day

448250_1 — 2026-03-10 13:52:27 UTC

I really enjoyed learning about influential women, especially Frida Kahlo who went through tremendous life events but kept going and later fought for women's rights and reproductive rights too. As a woman I think its really important to learn about these people and see how far we have come so we can realize when things aren't being fair or equal. I think I will look into reproductive rights and women's rights to keep up to date with inequality in the world.

Your money matters

448250_1 — 2026-03-17 13:52:13 UTC

Job I am interested in: HLTA

Yearly income: £27,000

After taxes: £22,961.40

Each month: £1913.45

Two questions id like to ask:

How much savings do I have to have to get taxed?

The Starting Rate for Savings allows you to earn up to £5,000 of savings interest tax-free, but this amount reduces by £1 for every £1 of other income you have above your Personal Allowance.

How much savings can I save in one bank?

The amount you can save in one bank depends on various factors, including the bank's interest rates, the type of savings account, and your monthly savings contributions.

Staying safe online

448250_1 — 2026-03-25 12:40:31 UTC

I learned how to identify real and AI photos, and how AI photos have some small distortions which can be found, however I also learned the importance of staying safe online and how deepfakes are harmful, also I learned lots of websites I can contact if anything is harmful being spread about me.

Fast Fashion

448250_1 — 2026-03-31 12:33:05 UTC

51% of fast fashion is made of polyester

80 Billion garments are purchased each year

are just some of the figures i found out today which is extremely shocking. I knew fast fashion had extreme effects but It was a much larger scale than i had known.

to create a more sustainable future we could:

buy second hand clothes, shop at charity shops, not buy new clothes if we already have some that fit, minimise amount of fashion bought unnecessarily, buy from ethical brands which focus on environment.

Reusing and recycling can have a positive effect by:

not contributing for more demand in the fashion industry and using what we already have
