What is global issue and why should I care?

I think that global issues is an important class that shows us the issues that are happening in the world. This is important because I think its good to know what happens around us and I think that global issues is not just that buts its also learning how to stop these issues. We learn that it is not hopeless and there is lots to do but we can do it.


I care about global issues because it shows that the world is very different. The world is not at all like taking a taxi to KLCC and getting all your supplies. In Africa people have to walk at least a mile to get a days supply of water. That water is not even clean. Who know, there could be animals bathing in it, bacteria living in the water and it could have bad consequences. Like getting sick. There when you get a small sickness like a cold or a cough, it could be life threatening because there is no medication or food there. But people still take the river/lake water becuase if they dont drink water, they die as well. Global issues tells us all about these problems and tells us how we can solve them by doing easy things like playing the free rice/flour game or doinating $10 to them. Global issues also makes experience this by making us do activities and games. It also makes us represent diffrent countries/continents and find out what their diffrent problems are. It makes us relise what the world really is and its fun at the same time
