What is a community?

We were given the task to talk about what a community is and what it means, from our perspective. Personally for me I think community is a place where you live. Having neighbours who live in the same area as you.  There are many characteristics that have in common. Some things my community have in common with other community, is that young teenagers who are under eighteen use things that are unhealthy for their body. Such as smoking, alcohol and using all the bad things that they should be doing under the age of eighteen.  Besides from all the negative things young kids use, here are some positive things about our community. We help people who are in need, and who are struggling. We worry about other people who are in need, that is one thing that our community provides. 

Empathy - what does empathy mean?

For me empathy means to be able to understand and also care about how someone else feels. Personally I think empathy means to put yourself in there shoe, that way you could understand the kind of situation they might experienced. If I was to show empathy towards my classmates or anyone around me, I would ask them if they are alright.  That way they would know that you truly care about their feelings and the situation they are in right now.  Empathy is important because it can help people understand why in that kind of situation.  They could help you by making sure your alright, or even hang out with you so know that your not alone.  You could also show your gratitude when they have opened up.  Many people struggle to open up to people, because they overthink things like "could I trust you".  Show that your interested, that way when they going through a difficult time you could connect with them by asking them if they need anything, or if they will be alright.

Climate Change - Summarie

From reading this article I have learnt that when you are from a place that is dangerous, people tend to move to other countries due to their homes being damaged by the water rising.  They also heard good things about another country and decides to move with their families to live in a better place and a better future.  People who are residents of their countries have rights to do anything in that country, and move to another country after losing their homes. There are many families who are threatened by their government to leave the country that they migrated from immediately. Most cultures are ethnocentric judging from this article I think we have different behaviours, customs and religion.
