L06: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance

This year, I have joined economeast. In this activity we have to write two articles related to economics for the magazine. Up till now, we have only chose our topics, however while researching for our topics I learnt a lot of the world around us and how economics links into everything. I read an article on Uber being discontinued in London and it make me think of all the repercussions, including unemployment and a reduction in the GDP. Upon realising this, I started to think about all the impacts our seemingly small actions have on the environment around us. Everything we do has a consequence and although that seems shocking at first, it is really what helps the earth run. Causes lead to effects and effects have causes. This is evident in every global crisis, the world has seen up till date. As a result of understanding this, I have become more keen on reading news about the world and have started documenting articles I read and answering questions about them. The articles I read a primarily related to economics, to help me with that subject, but this task will help me in all aspects of my learning.

Here is an example of my record:

L06: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance

In my local service last week, we were discussing whether disabled people are looked after throughout their life. In places like Singapore, the government aims to integrate these people into society and supposedly have certain jobs kept for specially abled people, however we also discussed that this is generally not evident. In most countries expatriates who are disabled do not receive proper care and thus, it changes many families lifestyles as they are forced to stay in their own country to get that necessary support. On the other hand, as of now, there are some international schools in Belgium that provide extra help to support students with cognitive disabilities.  I feel that although we are trying to improve these students motor skills through this service, there is still a greater picture that needs to be addressed, in which these students are not kept away from the rest of society but are rather assisted in merging with the rest of society.
