Throughout history we have experienced many things. Now these events in our past can be used and tied into bettering the future. What I will be referencing more specifically include: the well known silk road, the impacts of exploration, and the time period of "Expansion and Enlightenment". These topics tie into my current Kahiau project along side their importance to the UN goals as they show how the coming together of people from diverse backgrounds have led to some of the most progressive eras in history. Times like the Era of enlightenment reveal how self reflection and challenging our ideals while being open to change is in all sense "progressive". I say this as it was a time of incredible shift in the way that societies both functioned and understood the world around them. Changing the ways in which the world understood and utilized science. This was much like the silk road in the sense that the spread of knowledge, technology, and good were direct contributors for cross-continental collective learning. The effects of which influenced the course of history for centries to come. These two monumental time periods impact the way that I address my Kahiau project as it reinforces the notion that education and a flexible mentality are key for positive progress in our society. It makes my project and goal stand out in a unique way. This is as I think that it could have a domino effect towards addressing many other UN Sustainability goals at the same time. Which is important considering the ticking timer set on our planetʻs survival. While teaching history and ways to understand it, can help garauntee that our actions are progressive, and not repeatative of past mistakes. This on itʻs own is one of the many ways in which education can change the world. Once again reflecting to history, we can see that times of interconnection were also times of much progression. While eraʻs of divide, were sources of violence and even more conflict for the times that followed. This highlights the importance of teaching acceptance, empathy, and an open/respectful train of thought to our children. For both their futures, and the the worldʻs. APA Citations:
