When does poverty end.

 Did you know that, “as of 2021, 1.3 billion people suffer from poverty world wide? ‘“  Why is it that, people work 40hrs, 7 days a week and still seem to fall below the poverty line. We live in such a well resourced world, especially in well developed countries, why don’t they help those less developed countries, with reallocation of resources. Helping smaller countries, with modernization and growing should be a human right.

    There are many consequences of resources not being equitably distributed. This is a direct violation of, refusing to help. The UDHR says that equal freedom, but “First world countries” have more than enough resources, we choose to keep them. So many countries are falling behind due to “Political Suicde” “Military Coups” and “Assassinations”.  We can help, looking back at the OXFAM foreign aid guide, we can see what comes out of helping those smaller countries. Some consequences to not helping these countries, is destabilization of countries; destabilization of that countries government and the fall of that region.



    If countries share their resources, there are many benefits to the world at large. Some things include, better diplomacy, stronger relations in the region, stable and sustainable governments.   Some ideas of ways this could be fulfilled, is that we can give foreign aid to countries, we can send diplomats, and start coalition’s.




    There are 195 “First world countries, 2 of which are ‘observer states the Holy See and the state of palestine’ “  Some of these countries are fully devolved and others are on the way to full development, if we send resources to the ‘second world countries’ we can help them get to the same level of modernization as us. “



    In the end, we have so many reasons as to why so many people suffer from poverty, but we do have many ways to help, we have the 195 countries, who are devolved, we have the OXFAM foreign aid guide, and we have our own diplomacy. How can you help? Get out, use your voice and show the world others voices matte.

How deep do your values go?

Welcome to my first AP of the term in  Forbidden Books . This class, as the name states, is about censored/banned books and literature. We will dig deeper into understanding the reasons why books and texts were banned. We have had the opportunity to start the book  Fahrenheit 451  by Ray Bradbury, which was banned in the United States, South Africa, and multiple school districts around the US. For the first portion of this unit, we learned about a Socratic seminar and the "Socratic method." The Socratic method is a form of teaching and learning that involves asking questions instead of providing answers. It is a method of discussion, often used in philosophy and critical thinking. The goal of the Socratic method is to encourage critical thinking and understanding by asking questions that challenge assumptions and lead to deeper understanding. For this Action Project, we had to have two people: Person one (Joe Walters) plays as Socrates, the questioner, and the second pers...

Am I really a Global Peace Maker?

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I last made a blog post. First I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas, and an amazing new year! This term, I was in a class called Global peace, this term we focused on methods that would and should bring attention to issues in our community, in nonviolent ways. Global peace also focused on the Gandhian principles of truth, nonviolence, Sarvadoya, and Satyagraha. In Global Peace, we went on some inspiring FEs like the neighborhood walk. On this FE we got to walk through two different neighborhoods and observe the differences between them. For this AP I had to make a plan to combat an issue, I chose gun violence, and the purpose of this is to promote a sense that we are all welcome, and we can all live in a community without violence. The purpose is also to show that we are on a united front to stand against gun violence. I hope you enjoy my slide show, and I hope it will help you understand why gun violence is a prevalent issue in all...

Redefining Queenship: Gender, Power, and Ambition in Shakespeare's Macbeth

Welcome to my blog,  In our first Drama unit, we tackled the question,  "How do we respond to gender norms and stereotypes?"  To explore this, we dove into the works of William Shakespeare, examining how theater can inspire social change. We focused on  Macbeth , using the play as a lens to question traditional gender roles and the evolving concept of what it means to be a queen. This was the perfect foundation for the unit, letting us dig deeper into our own ideas of strength and duty. To me, a queen is someone who puts her role before herself, making difficult choices—even ones that might be considered morally complex. While we didn’t have many field trips, we had inspiring guest speakers. Regina Taylor, known for her role as Michelle Obama's mother in  The First Lady  and her work in  Lovecraft Country , shared her insights on how storytelling can bridge divides of race, gender, and class. She likened the influence of media to the civil rights movem...
