Justice for Julius Jones

Welcome to my final project of the Elective Term. This term I took a humanities course called Global Peace. In the past 3 weeks, we learned about Gandhi and his principles for peaceful protesting. We also learned about other examples of peacemakers like Martin Luther King Jr by watching Selma. Throughout the course, we also learned terms like Sarvodaya. Sarvodaya is the answer to all isms like socialism and capitalism because isms create separation and Sarvodaya is about raising together. To explain this concept Gandhi once said, "After I go, I do not want any ism. There should be no Gandhism." For the global part of this class, we compared ruling documents from countries around the world. For this action project, we were assigned to pick an issue we wanted to peacefully protest against. I chose to protest the death penalty. It would mean a lot of you could take a couple of seconds to sign this petition!

Acknowledgments:   TN is an aspiring actress and has a lot of background in film. She naturally led our group and pieced the video together and wrote a majority of the script. I helped with the research, but the video would not have been possible without her hard work! AG was also in my group and she helped come up with solutions to SDG2. She was always available and ready to work!  Works Cited:  Sophiabasa “ extreme poverty and hunger ” 2015 Nayan Hello World “ sustainable development goals ” 2019

GR's Survival Guide to Becoming a Lawyer

Welcome to my final humanities action project! This year, I have learned to endure difficult situations, which is why I am so thrilled to graduate. In this unit of Endurance , we about the different types of endurance. The two kinds of endurance we learned about are endurance by force and endurance by choice. An example of endurance by force would be holocaust survivors. They are an example of endurance by force because they had to endure all the pain and suffering they went through. An example of endurance by choice is Laura Dekker who chose to become the youngest person to sail world the world alone. I have decided that I wanted to go into the legal field ever since sophomore year. For this action project, we were assigned to create a survival manual. My survival manual is focused on my path to becoming a lawyer. I hope you enjoy my project!

Hello, welcome to the second and final action project for my STEAM course Economy: Risking Value. In this unit, we read Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist by Kate Raworth. The book is about how traditional economics is broken and how its outdated theories allow for the super-wealthy to continue to become super-wealthy while they are people living in poverty. It also covers the dangerous policies that threaten our future. We were split into seven different groups (one group per chapter). My group was assigned to read chapter 7 which is Be Agnostic About Growth. The other chapters were: 1. Change the goal, 2. See the big picture, 3. Nurture Human Nature, 4. Get Savvy with Systems, 5. Design to distribute, and 6. Create to Regenerate. Our task for this action project was to create our own economic perspective as the 8th chapter Following the guiding question, How do you view the economic world, keep scrolling to view my project.
