I believe a commitment to care is an important thing we, as humans, need to think about. When we are committed to helping something or someone, it shows that we care, it shows that we are trying to make a change for things that aren’t right, it shows that we are trying to make a better life, not only for ourselves but also for people and things around us. I often see advertisements of people helping others and seeing the smile on peoples faces just makes me smile as well because when you think, your life is so low and there’s no one here to help you but a stranger comes and cares about you and helps you, it is a beautiful feeling because just a small action can make a huge difference and I feel that more people should be caring about world issue like, woman rights, sustainability etc… because that is what we need to make a better place for everyone.
When I walk around Singapore, I see a lot of vegetation. and to be honest, I don’t really imagine Singapore without vegetation, or anywhere without vegetations because it is simply one of the bases of life. people don’t realise but the world is cutting down more and more trees each year and it’s getting worse and worse for the environment. Same for litter. Litter is destroying our planet more and more and what I find interesting, is that even though most people know that we cant live without trees or that pollution is bad for our body and our wellbeing or that animals are losing habitats, people still pollute the world, they still throw litter on the floor thinking that, “doing it once in a while won’t hurt” but yes it will. It always starts off with one small plastic bag from one person which can turn into a hundred plastic bags or even more. So why? Why with all that knowledge, do people still cut down trees and litter? People say, “Put yourself in their shoes for a day.” well I say “Put yourself in the shoes of the world for a day,” Harder said than done, but that’s what people need to do. I believe people need to be more mindful of their surroundings and I’m saying that but this counts for me as well. I am guilty of throwing rubbish on the floor but thankfully I learnt from it. People around me taught me not to and I am grateful for them. And now I get to teach people not to in the hope that they will teach others. So overall, I believe that people need to spread awareness around the world and make people care about the space they live in and not take it for granted.
Another thing we could care about is the education of others. Like I said before learning about the environment and what littering it does to it. I Feel like we learn about it too late or that not enough people know. But not only that type of education. The fact that not all kids get to go to school as well. education is one of the keys to success, awareness and happiness in life. So I think that education around the world should be one of the units added to a commitment to care because it is a huge topic that needs improvement.
