I learned that art is a way to spread issues and concerns in modern society. It also takes the forms of many things from music to paintings to even writing. One example I could use was a guest speaker who came to our class on Monday. Her name was Dania and she was a Syrian-American who used poetry to get her concerns and opinions about current issues. It was an interesting experience to get to know her experiences as a poet activist and how she uses this art to bring a voice to her minority in the country. The Poem I created I wanted to focus on the perspective of the wind. I chose the wind to be the perspective of the poem to show the world from its point of view and how it sees man hurting the world and those that live in it instead of using itself for help. This is because as you know, we can use the wind as a clean energy source but my main focus was show how most people refuse that and instead use the alternative source of fossil fuels. My point was to bring awareness to more people to consider converting to clean energy sources instead of using fossil fuels.

The most important connection between World History and current event advocacy is how these subjects relate to each other. The actions of the past can affect current events that are happening today. The events that are taking place now can relate to what is happening today. An example of this is the Ku Kia’i Mauna protest that happened due to the neglection of Native Hawaiian opinions about Mauna Kea and how it should be treated.The most important idea I got from the Rock Your World curriculum and the guest speaker is that anyone can voice their opinions. These people from the program are telling me that anyone can come together and bring change to their communities. It does not matter if it is big or small, all that matters is that there is an issue and it needs to be solved. |
