The most important connection between World History and current event advocacy is that the things that happened in the past were there to help shape the future, so the point of current even advocacy is to help inform others about things that are happening right now, which will have an affect on the future. First off, what current event advocacy is, is thinking about and recognizing the issues that are happening in the present, and then finding a way to inform others about it. Advocacy is the act by an individual or a group of people that want to bring awareness to something, particularly in the public, social institutions, economics, politics, etc. It’s important to not only educate yourself of what is going on around you and in the real world, but to let others know about it as well. See when only you know about something, something that is an issue, and you are striving to make a change or do something about it, it’s kind of hard to do it by yourself, it’s not impossible, but it would make it easier if there were other people there to help you. So, how this ties back to World History is because we use the things that happened in the past like the enlightenments, the French Revolution, protests, we learn from these events and we learn about what to apply to the current situation, and what to avoid. Rock your world: Creative middle &: high school curriculum, (n.d.), Retrieved March 03, 2021, from https://www.rock-your-world.org/ The most important or impactful idea or concept I’ve gained through the Rock Your World curriculum about the importance of media advocacy is that even though we are going through global pandemic right now, we are still able to advocate and reach out to other people. I think that this is important because there are still a lot of issues that are happening right now, and issues that need to be addressed and solved. This generation is provided with a lot of technology and things that will help us to create solutions for worldwide problems. But, it is still about whether or not this generation is willing to step up and be a part of a movement or advocacy. It shows whether or not this generation is going to make the most out of what we can do right now, to show that we care about what is happening in the world and the issues that need to be solved.
