Thailand: Chiang Mai Reflection

by 084458 on May 21, 2013

At the start of May, I went to Chiang Mai, Thailand on a school trip. We stayed at the Maekok River Resort. This trip was very fun and I had the chance to do many new things.Throughout the trip, we did many different activities that were organized by the resort leaders. We stayed there for 6 days and on each one we did something different. Everyday we had 3 activities to do. One in the morning, afternoon and night.

On this trip, one of the learner attributes I think I showed was inquirer. This is because throughout this trip, I was given things to me that I have not done before. This has made me think and inquire into how I can overcome these things that were thrown at me. An example of this is when we went kayaking. Neither me nor my partner have ever done such thing. We had to work together and figure it out ourselves.

Another attribute that I think I showed was open-minded. I think so because in this trip, many activities required group work. I gave ideas and I also took other’s ideas and added the to mine so we were all contributing. A couple of the things we did in groups were jungle survival, Thai cooking, team technology and others. Each one of those things required all of us to be open-minded and work together as a team.

Article About Air Pollution

by 084458 on May 15, 2013

>Here< is the link to an article that talks about air pollution.

Here I will speak about the Millenium Goal the UN has, environmental problems.

It talks about the pollution in the air and how humans keep adding to that pollution. It also talks about how it affects human health. It also talks about how air pollution affects the environment and the ecosystem. The air pollution is caused naturally and human made. This affects the ecosystem drastically.

This problem is something universal and it is good that the UN is looking to help fix this. This problem needs to be addressed because if we ignore this issue, it will continue to spread and continue to destroy the environment. If we do not take care of our environment it will create a poorer life style for everyone. The ecosystem will also be worse so the animals will also have a environment that is not as good as a place.

Although this is a big problem, I wonder how the UN plan to fix it. Do they have good enough technology to fix this? If not than for now the least they could do is make people stop producing as much air pollution.
