I learned that art is one of the most effective ways to highlight social concerns in modern society. Art allows people to communicate ideas that society would otherwise discredit. Artistic expression is a powerful tool that can support societal change. PōhakuI sit, stoic. People walk past and move I see it all. People are themselves with me I am not noticed. People change and make change I sit, stoic. My poem is a reflection on how compared to Earth, humanity and our lives seem inconsequential. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the problems we face in our daily lives and it can be comforting to remind ourselves that in the grand scheme of things, most of these things don’t matter.

Organization and peaceful demonstration is the most important connection between World History and current event advocacy. Current event advocacy requires collective effort to enact change. Peaceful protest has forced all major social changes and enacted social justice thus far.
The most impactful idea that I have gained from the Rock Your World Curriculum about the importance of media advocacy is using your skills to inform others about social change. Changing the methods used to inform others has changed since the creation of social media. The most effective way to spread awareness is no longer a PSA. Instead, protests, art, music, and other creative projects can inform and convince the public. |
