This past semester in social I have learned so much about the way the world works, and doesn't. The injustices, human trafficking, human rights, and trades, digging deeper into those subjects was very different from what I thought at first. The way that some of the countries responded to certain issues, was kind of crazy. Human rights, a few countries promoted fair human rights, while others insisted it was religion. Now that I am more aware of all these injustices all over the world, the way I respond will be much different. I will take the time to acctually think about where all these clothes are coming from, and what amount of work went into it. How great it is to know that there is fresh water at my disposal, and to use all I need. The freedom that Canada has, and the way our justice system works. All of it will come to mind now that I know. I, as a Canadian citizen, will respond to the best of my ability, whether it is Alberta Tar Sands or eating banana's, I can no longer respond the same way.

Correcting injustices, are things the world could do more with. People working for the rights of others, and many times succeeding. All these active students, citizens, consumers, and corporations, are getting the right idea about how to respond to all these unfair issues that are faced every day. When Buckminster Fuller said "Weather humanity is to continue and comprehensively prosper on Spaceship Earth depends entirely on the integrity of the human individuals and not on the political and economic systems."
What I think he's saying is, if we want to live on a prosperous planet, it is not up to the government and economics, it is up to us as citizens of this earth.
Also when Jeffery Sachs quoted "Social commitments are commitments of individuals. Great social forces...are the mere accumulation of individual actions." I completley agree with that. I think if only one person tries to do something, but no one else, nothing is going to happen. Yet if everyone wants to, the actions of individuals working together, will make a huge difference.

The video I wanted to post on here wouldn't work so go to youtube, and it's called Hidden Face of Globalization.
