The final weeks of the first term were very brief. What seemed like so much to do in little time. This unit of Sustainable Development Goals was focusing on sustainable development. Sustainable development is very important when it comes to building cities, providing for people, and supporting energy for everyone. The definition I made for sustainable development is,  the growth of communities and societies where our natural resources are not destroyed. One assignment during this unit was to interview three people about sustainable development and why they thought it was possible or why not. From the interviews I conducted I found that sustainable development is possible but not soon. For this to happen people need to work together and look out for each other. Everyone must be on the same page because only a few people trying to create this cannot succeed without the support of the entire community. After this work we began to combine what we learned and create our final project. T...

Equal Representation In Sports In our second unit of our SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals class we started talking about gender equality. At the start we mainly talked about the United States, being the country we live in, and discussed the gender pay gap. That led on to our Field Experiences like going to the Center on Halsted in Chicago. This center is a place or comfort for all people no matter their sex, race, or otherwise. It specialized in helping the LGBT community and additionally helped people in need. We found out that they are also helping people that need housing and helping them with finding jobs and being able to live their lives. We then began to think of gender representation in the other countries and the media. We talked about Burka Avenger which was about a teacher who uses pens and books as weapons to fight against the evil of unequal rights for women. We also watched the documentary, Miss Representation and had discussions about that. Still thinking of oth...

In our Humanities or SDGs class, Sustainable Development Goals, we were talking about the certain goals that could be thought of as a need to be a human right. The options were no poverty, no hunger, and quality education. The goal that I chose was number two, no hunger. I believe that food should be a human right because it is primarily a basic need. We need food to survive and if we do not have it we will obviously die, since that is the only alternative. Before then we went on a field experience to Lincoln Park Community Services in Chicago. There we experienced people who are hungry and we also as a class, cooked for the people that attended the lunch. I personally enjoyed this because I was able to talk with people that needed food and they were really appreciative of the food that they had been given. This led to the action project which is an essay about our chosen goal. The essay is below. To, Hiu, LPCS 2019, One of the food items cooked was chicken. Could you imagine...
