UN Goal Influence

After learning about United Nations Sustainable Development Goals I started making sure that I wasn’t doing anything that could harm the environment or anyone. For example, I started recycling more often, when I was at a party I had asked if the host’s had a recycling bin instead of just throwing my water bottle away. This relates to goal 15: Life on Land because recycling is a huge way to help save the earth’s ecosystem. Another example is now when I go to a restaurant, I always bring home my food if I haven't finished it yet because I know how many people around the world don’t have food and I shouldn’t just waste it, which is the main purpose of goal 2: Zero hunger.

In the future I see myself being apart of organizations that help children in need. I will be donating food to food drives or I will buy a someone new clothes. Every year around Christmas time, I always donate food and clothes to children in need, but I see myself doing that more than just around the holidays because I now know that this is what goal number 1: No poverty is all about.

By doing little by little, I could start to help the world. Even just by telling people about how we could help, a beach could be saved. But I could also do something about all the pollution and the climate change and all the other problems caused by humans, so I think I will be a good influence on the world.

Candidates and Election issues of 2016

Through classroom examination of election issues and candidates, I learned many things about the issues and about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Garry Johnson, and Jill Stein.

One of the things I learned was that more than one candidate can agree on an answer. I had always thought that each candidate had a side and that was that. But it turns out that even the candidates that dislike each other the most can agree on many problems.

Another thing I learned was that issues that seem simple can have very complicated answers with both pros and cons. For example a simple question can be “Should we raise the gun restriction?” which can lead to huge debates on whether we should or not.

One last thing I learned was all the issues that were happening in the world and how people want to resolve them. For example I didn’t know that Syria wanted to send 5,ooo refugees to our country or even that there was talk about war on Isis. Every worksheet we did helped me learn about a different issue in our world.

Helpful Google Tips & Questions

1) You should use both closed and open questions because some questions you just need a quick answer too but others you need a whole response. So when you have an open question you are expecting someone to describe something to you and when you use a closed question you are just going to receive a one word answer. A benefit of a closed question is that there isn’t some big complex answer. And a benefit from an open question is that you will get a more detailed answer

2) You should use Google Search tips to get more specific, efficient searches. For example you shouldn't ask Google questions, instead if you just look for keywords, you get more results. Or if you put words in “...”  you will only get results that focus on those words. One last tip is if you are looking up a certain word and there are many matches to things that include your search word, but also a word you don’t want, you can just put a minus sign (-) in front of the word you don’t want and it won’t be included in your results.
