Reflection and Inspiring Quotes
Poverty is everywhere. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed in our country and across the world. Children are our future and we adults, not just educators, are responsible for making sure that children grow up as productive members of society.
The past 4 months has been such an insightful, learning experience. I have learned so much about global perspectives and the importance of culture. The children we teach come from all over the world and are very diverse. Many educators are in their rooms with their doors closed(and I mean in every sense). I was that teacher until this class opened my eyes to the world outside of my classroom. It is a beautiful world. I hope to continue my education so that I can continue to learn about the diversity in my classroom. My goal is to reach every child in my classroom and better understand how he or she learns.

ReplyDeletePoverty is the state for the majority of the world’s people and nations. Why is this? Is it enough to blame poor people for their own predicament? Have they been lazy, made poor decisions, and been solely responsible for their plight? What about their governments? Have they pursued policies that actually harm successful development? Such causes of poverty and inequality are no doubt real. But deeper and more global causes of poverty are often less discussed.
ReplyDeleteBehind the increasing interconnectedness promised by globalization are global decisions, policies, and practices. These are typically influenced, driven, or formulated by the rich and powerful. These can be leaders of rich countries or other global actors such as multinational corporations, institutions, and influential people.
In the face of such enormous external influence, the governments of poor nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, in the global context, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle.
