The most important connection between World History and current event advocacy is connecting the past to the present. When looking at current events today, we can see both similarities and differences to the problems in our current times compared to the events that already happened. Observing and learning about our history can help us to understand how things came to be and how we can go about it or what the future of it could be. We can learn many lessons from history that could possibly allow us to solve problems nowadays with modern solutions. For example, we look at the events like the civil rights movement (1954-1968) and see how the current BLM protests/movements are similar. Therefore, taking what we know about the first black movement we can use that knowledge to not only build our understanding but also develop those ideas for new and modern solutions. The most impactful idea that I have gained, is to use our ideas and create modern solutions to modern problems. When learning about the different creative outlets that people utilize, it made me realize that there are so many different ways to bring advocacy to something whether it is through art, media, etc. In our current times, we can see that people from all around use things like drawing, film making, protests, cartoon images, etc. to communicate to kids and adults about the problems. In this generation, children are way more familiar with technology and using those media outlets to communicate. The use of media can be important to communicate because using social media, videos, articles, can be more efficient and easier for students to understand and comprehend. Also, media is a humangeous part of our society today wether itʻs social media, tv, commercials, youtube videos, etc. those outlets are key to expressing your ideas and using your voice because itʻs what the people will see/understand.
