The Current Events is a responsibility that is due weekly. To complete this assignment, we must research a recent article that relates to a certain topic that we learn each week in Biology. The article must relate to a speciality that you as an individual are interested in. You must explain the who, what, when, where, and why of the article, as well as how it helps the environment, the economy, and the community in the process and the outcome.
The main goal for this assignment is to participate and grow in Global Awareness. This relates to Global Awareness because it helps you grow and get a chance of what being a citizen in society really means, and allows you to incorporate your opinions on why society needs help, and how to help it. This assignment also makes you more aware of what many people are trying to accomplish worldwide to benefit their local and worldwide communities. It also makes us incorporate and explain how a certain biology subject can help the environment, the economy, and society, which extended my area of interest in that subject of biology.
I chose to share this assignment in my portfolio because I believe in the betterment of the environment, the economy, and the community. This assignment gives the participants and the readers the knowledge and encouragement to make a change to the corrupt pieces of the world, like our society and the health of the environment! Being a citizen in society gives you the right to make a change for the better, which is a big privilege and duty, but it can also be easy to abuse and harm. This sample demonstrates my current growth because I am aware of the problems that are going on locally. The articles that I have come across in my research weren't just about inventions to help society, but multiple things that individuals can to to make an impact! Some are the most basic things, like volunteering, giving back, and helping others, but they make a bigger impact then you already know! I also know many activities and studies that people are conducting to make a change, and make an impact! I am way more aware of the events going on around me then I was at the beginning of this school year! This assignment also extended my interest and knowledge of multiple biology subjects like photosynthesis, genetics, cells, and much more.
Something I would like to change my next Current Event is to describe more how to help the community, and to use more articles that can involve the community as a whole, as in something everyone can help with. An invention may help make an impact for the community, but not many people get to be involved in that. If I find a article that involves everyone, it might be more effective in a faster way because people are working together to make a change!
