Using the Millennium Developmental Goals website.
Read over all eight Millennium Developmental Goals (MDG).
As a global community which goal do you feel is the most important one that we should achieve and why?
Be critical and make connections to PEPS in your response.
I think that child health is the most important Millennium Developmental Goal because without propper health these children can die. I think this is political because every child has the rights to have good health and it is up to the Governments to make sure that everyoe has proper health.
ReplyDeleteLisette
The parliament building in Ottawa is significant to political in PEPS, because all the senate, prime minister, premier, and they are all in charge of the politics in Toronto/ Canada. Social relations involving plot to gain authority or power, the study of government of countries and other political units. The line of work devoted to governing and to political relationships.
ReplyDeleteSIRAYA ;)
I think that eneding poverty and hunger is the most important Millennium Developmental Goal and we should try to help accomplish that goal because first you need a full stomach before doing anything else. Also, having a full stomach would not make you as sick becasue you would have at least a little energy from the food.
ReplyDeleteI think this is related to Physical because if you are in poverty, you don't have anywhere to sleep which means you are outside and depending where you are at, some places has a lot of fresh air from the beautiful trees.
This is related to Economics because economics have to deal with money and if you are in poverty, you dont have any money and that means you can't have food to eat which costs money.
As well, it is related to Political because it is the government's job to make sure that everyone has food to eat and a safe place to live.
Lastly, I think it is related to Social because sometimes, on the streets, I see people in poverty join together to help each other and I think that is a really good way in making peace and getting together.
Even though I think that ending poverty and hunger is the most important Millennium Developmental Goal, I think that the other 7 goals are really important too!! CLARA :D
I think that the most important M.D.G is to eradicate hunger. This is because if I was in a war torn country I would want a stomach full with food since if I was ill at least I don't have to deal with hunger pains.
ReplyDeleteThis can be related to P.E.P.S. by:
Politically because the government controls the imports and exports and buying and selling. So if the government controls this much size of the economics than how come the people aren't getting food to eat if they're payed?
Even if the government doesn't pay them enough money to buy food to eat then why doesn't the government start something like medicare but instead it's for food. Of course this won't suite the economy easily but like medicare it slowly worked it's way in.
Socially there is a much bigger impact. If people don't get enough to eat than people can't do social events. Than the event can't go on until more people participate but they can't since they're to hungry to do anything. People can help this if they donate food to companies like Red Cross to deliver food to people around the world like they did in Pakistan.
Kevin
I didn't think about it that way Clara and it is tru if you have a full stomach you won't get as sick and yeah now that you have helped me understand why you think ending poverty is the most important one I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteIt is very true that this has to do with economical because if you are poor you don't have the money to buy the food.
I can understand why you would think that proper health is the most important goal Lisette but I think that to end poverty and hunger is the first goal we should accomplish because you want them to have a full stomach first before going to the docters because sometimes, the docters gives you medicine that you have to drink after you're done eating. I hope that everyone will have a chance to help end poverty and/or hunger someway like donating money! :D CLARA
ReplyDeleteI think that achieving universal education is the most important millennium developmental, because if you don’t get an education when you get older you wont know anything.
ReplyDeleteThis connects to physical because you have to build the school and put the school in a proper place. For example: you need to put the school in a place where there are allot of houses near by.
This connects to economical because you have to pay for the supplies that the students use. They need the supplies to write, read, and play with.
Also This connects to political because it is the governments job to make sure everyone has a good education. Also if the children don’t get a good education and when they get older it will be hard for them
To end of This connects with social because the teacher has to teach them by talking to them and teaching them. Also the children talk to each other.
Sarah
We think we should focus on Education because if the next genaration can gets a good education then when they grow up they can get a good job and aford food and clean water in their homes. Education is related to economic because if people have a good education they will end up with a great job and will be able to put food on the table.
ReplyDeleteUbiversal Education can relate to PEPS because it falls under political, because of the following firstly education gets own by the government and someone caled the minister of education would look and be in chare of education secondly the government is supsed to enforce that all children should go to school, if they can't aford to go to school make it at a ruduce price in their taxes if possible.e.g children in Shri Lanaka should be going to school instead of going to get water. They should also not make but tell adults to go back to school to suport their families. That is why we think that we should focus on Universal Education.
SIRAYA & SABRINA ;O)
That goal is important Sarah, Sabrina and Siraya but I disagree with you. This is because if you don't have the energy because you have no food, then how are you suppose to walk to school. I think that ending poverty and hunger is important because if you are hungry, you can't really learn, well thats how I feel. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI think eradicating hunger is more important since you get the energy TO walk to or build a school. This comment is to agree with you Clara.
ReplyDeleteKevin
Siraya I liked how you listed the levels and the people who are incharge of them and how u related it to P.E.P.S. in social. jr grade 6
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin. Also, for the person who commented on the fourth comment (forgot to write you name), when you look at something in a different way, it makes you think about it differently doesnt it, and thats one of the reasons I think the blog is so great because You get to see other people's point of view. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteTO add on what Siraya and I said before it would also be social becasue of the folowing reasons. When you are going to school you would be talking and hanging out with your friends. That is another way of socializing.
ReplyDeleteSabrina and Siraya
I think that hunger is a global problem involving the p in PEPS political because you need money to buy healthy and enough food to stop hunger.
ReplyDeleteJacky(O)
Wouldn't that be econmics Jacky since econmics has to deal with money and you said that they need MONEY to buy healthy and enough to food to stop hunger? CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI am focusing on "ECONOMIC".(followed by PEPS)
ReplyDeleteMost families are living in extreme
proverty!..That is very though...The global
economic crisis has taken the time to progress,but the world is still on track to meet proverty reduction.Most likely jobs are lost and more workers have been forced into volnerable employment.Aretha
I think that both, poverty and hunger relate to econmics in the same way. This is because econmics deals with money and when you are in poverty, you have no money and that means you can't buy food. CLARA
ReplyDeleteI think Child Health is most important because children are the future children are the only ones that can help continue their family traditions and the existences of their family.
ReplyDeleteIf the children aren't healthy or diagnosed with diseases such as stomach worms that eat up your nutrients and I think your flesh as well.
Jennifer 308
I agree with Calra. Poverty and hunger does fall under economics. Econoics does have some things to do with finincinal stuff. With hunger you don't have enough money to bye food. Also the same and poverty.
ReplyDeleteNina :o)
I agree with Aretha because Most families are living in extreme poverty and the economic problem is that people have lost there job and our being forced to work as volenter.
ReplyDeleteNIYA:D
I would like to extend on my thinking for how poverty and hunger is related to political. I think that it is the government's job to make sure people are not living in poverty and that people have something to eat because people means population in other words so the government deals with the population of his/her's country. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI think child health is the most important MDG because the children today are our future and if they are not safe and healthy maybe earth could turn out to be a disaster.
ReplyDeleteI think this is economical in PEPS because if the children don't have enough money for docters and good health they could get really sick.
I also to agree with Aretha because like she said most families are living in extreme poverty and economic problems
ReplyDeleteYasmine :P
the last one was Jacob's
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important Millennium Developmental Goal is goal number 1, eradicate extreme poverty & hunger.
ReplyDeleteI can relate this to political because in places where people are in poverty, it is the government's job to make sure they have a safe food & water supply.
I can relate this to economical because when you are in poverty, you have no money to buy food, and without food, you can't work, or go to school. In many developing countries, this is a major problem, since in poor communities they sometimes can't wait for sustaining programs to be implemented.
I can relate this to physical because when you are in poverty, you most likely have substandard housing, and in a lot of these places, the country is a dry and barren land, and might not have many resources.
I can relate this to social because to end poverty and hunger, sometimes it takes the social conscience of people around the world to help out.
Katie :)
I think ending hunger, or cutting in half the amount of hungry people is the most important, because hungry poor people are stuck in an unending cycle of poverty, because whatever money they do have is spent to buy them food, thus they have no money for anything else. Aurora
ReplyDeleteI think ending hunger is the most important one because poverty is the berier to education so if you are poor you can't get an education.
ReplyDeletePolitical...
This is political because the governments should check that every one has a roof over their heads, education,and food. None should have to die because of hunger or poverty.
Economical...
This is economical because we need money to buy a house to have food and water. Every thing costs money the thing is that people who are poor probably do drink water but it is not clean water and CLEAN water costs money.
Physical...
This is Physical because our oceans are really dirty and these people need clean water to drink because or else they can die because of the bacteria that is in this dirty water.
forgot to put my name Lisette
ReplyDeleteI think that ending poverty and hunger is the most important Millennium Developmental Goal because these days, if you have money, you can get whatever you NEED in life. Also, I agree with you Aurora how poor people are stuck in an unending cycle of poverty. I think that if we help them and give them food donations, they can use the money for something else and then eventually earn enough to handle their lives by them self. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteAs a glibal community I think the most important goal is Enviornment sustainibility I think it is the most important because without the enviornment the natural resourses we cant have any clean water or food and if we cant sustain the enviornment we will die. jr
ReplyDeleteI think that the first paragraph is very inportant the one that talks about world hunger because we take food for granted I can prove that statemaent by saying how many people go and take food and don't like it and therefore through it out.
ReplyDeleteI know that has happend to me .But just think of all the children around the world that will die for that food even if it was discusting and they eat that because they know that they need something to keep them going.
I think that I can make a connection to peps with this one paragraph because when it is talking about Pysical we all know that pysical has to do with the land and what it is like. For example when we talk about the land I can say that one resone is that the land is to dry or hot to praduce or harvest any food which in the long ran makes people hungry or even makes people starve to death.
Also when it comes to social ican say that it is hard for families that have more then one or two children because the mother or parents can not feed the whole family.
The govenment plays a big part when it cames to world hunger. Qeastions arouse such as Why does'nt the government look after the people in the different countries that can not support themselves.
Finally and lastly I would likie to talk about money and how that is a real problem people in those places live off $1.00 a day and if their lucky $2.50 a day now think about you and your family how much does your family live off of in one day.
So next time you go to eat something that you are not shure that you will like take alittle bit and see because when you through out all thaty food I can ashure you that alot of kids out there would just dream of that every night.
I tottlay agree with abigail eventhough I was the one who wrote about that but it is so true
ReplyDeletethat we do take food for granted.
Lisette
I agree with Aroura becauseI think ending hunger, or cutting in half the amount of hungry people is the most important, because hungry poor people are stuck in an unending cycle of poverty, because whatever money they have left they alaways have to spend it on food cause that is the only thing they can spend on so they won't starve or possibly die
ReplyDeleteNIYA:)
I think poverty and hunger is important and stopping that would be my dream. I want a world where everyone has the same education, food, water and shelter. I think this is related to economical in PEPS because people might not have enough money to bye the food or to get out of poverty. Also I think this is related to physical because most of the people living in poverty are in poor areas where it is hard to grow food like farmers.
ReplyDeleteJacob
I think that ending hunger is the most important, because if your family is poor and you are a girl you would have to work as a slave in child labour and still after many hours of work you barely have enough to support your family.I can relate to this because many children take food granted while in many developing countries children don't even have any food to eat.
ReplyDeletetiffany:0
I agree with Jacob because I think that the most imporant millennium developmental goal is poverty and hunger. Political relates to hunger because the government can't provide people with good paying jobs; there for they can not pay for food.Secondly economics relates to poverty because poverty is when someone has lack of things that a human need to survive (for example water, food, ect.) but they can not afford it because of the lack of money they have.Thirdly physical relates to hunger because if the land is dry and hot the crops will not grow for the season and they can not eat what they have planted and they have wasted the money that they have worked very hard for the seeds to grow the crops.
ReplyDeleteEmily :)
I think that millennium development goal #8 is good because all the countries will be united as one. This relates to political because the government of the richer countries could be donating the money that they use to make weapons to other countries in need. This relates to economic because these countries need money to build wells and other necessities that they do not have. This relates to physical because bigger countries are taking away the land of these people and using it for there own countries and growing populations. This relates to social because there countries are taking away their land without their permission and without eve talking to them.
ReplyDeleteNatasha :D
I chose the enviromental goal because it`s very interesting did you know slum prevalance in sub-saharan africa are being conflicted... wicih destroys the enviroment bailey :{D
ReplyDeleteI still think that stoping world hunger is the most important one like Clara.
ReplyDeletelisette
I think that ending poverty and hunger is the most important. This is related to political because there is a cycle. If you are in poverty, your children can't go to school because they have to help you make money and then when they grow up, they can't get a good job because they never went to school when they were young. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Clara and all the people who think poverty is the best millennium development goal but I think education is the best goal. To prove my thinking, I think children being able to go to school can help their and the following generations. But if you end poverty you are helping the people get richer but that doesn’t mean they can go to school. Even though that means children in third world doesn’t have to walk such a distance to get walk. But what if that spent all that money in a month or so; are you going to keep giving them money? So if this generation gets a good education they would get a good job to rise the next generation and they can get a good career to rise the next and next generation.
ReplyDeleteSABRINA
I think that ending poverty and hunger is the most important. The reason why I think those are the most important because the people in poverty can't eat and they also can't get a job without an education. If they're children are in poverty they can't get an education because they might be too hungry. If the children can't get an education the same thing will happen again and if they have children they won't be able to get an education either because of the same thing they're parents went through.
ReplyDeleteTommy
I still think that the most important goal is ending poverty and hunger because it is so true and I am still agreeing with Clara because many people such as you and I have breakfust lunch and dinner and if we skip a meal we can't concentrate at school. Imagine those people and not only random people, no kids the same age such as you and I are so poor that they don't have money to buy food to eat so they skip meals and their water isn't clean the water they drink is dirty water which means they would often be faced with health problems. The thing is that any sickness or health issue that will arise it will be from something that could be prevented if only they weren't poor. Also it is true what Clara says that eventually if they don't have food to eat they will eventually die of starvation.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Tommy because if these parents loose their job their children will starve and if thaey starve they wouldn't go to school and it will be a chain reaction.
LISETTE
I still think education is the most important and next comes ending poverty and hungry. Lisette I understand what you and Clara were saying about ending poverty and hungry, but have you guys thought of how ending poverty and hungry may only be for this current generation. What if the next generation spent all the money are we going to keep giving them money to spend?
ReplyDeleteSABRINA
I think ending poverty and hunger is the most important because:
ReplyDeletePoverty:doesn't allow families to buy food for themselves nor their children. Poverty also prevents servile of many families,since poverty means pore or moneyless I think governments all rowan the world should at lest help a bit because every little thing counts but not doing nothing will never count.
Hunger:Hunger;a sad thing indeed,something that is I think is almost impossible to beet if no one cares or not even lift a finger to help the pore and needy.Hunger is something that can be beet we all(as in every one from the rich to the middle class to people who have enough to give)pitch in and help.
(We can beet Poverty and Hunger together.)
Jennifer 308
I think that ending poverty and hunger is the most important goal and is related to political because children are in child labour becasue their family is in poverty and need money to survive and buy food. If we end poverty and hunger, families won't have to send thier children to child labour. ( I related this to my social studies wiki, it was really helpful) CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteSabrina I do understand what you are saying but I mean if you are Poor and you can't eat then if you go to school you won't be able to concentrate because your stomach will be hurting. Also if you don't have money to eat food or to help your children/family then you realy wouldn't be thinking in sending your children to school you would be worried about getting food for your children because you wouldn't want them to starve. I still keep on thinking that ending poverty and hunger is the most important goal because without food or propper nutrtion you can die and having an education when you are poor and don't even have money to buy your food isn't going to help you stay alive so Sabrina I do understand what you mean but think of this question...
ReplyDeleteIs having a propper education going to help you stay alive if you are poor?
I mean if you aren't poor than having an education will help you as you get older to can get money from your work to buy food for yourself and you wouldn't be poor but if you are poor an education won't help. That is the way I think but if you think a different way and you can justify it and I'll see if I can understand your thinking.
Lisette
To add on to what Lisette was saying, think about it if you were in their shoes. If you were really hungry and your stomach was growling, you can't really concentrate and then school would be no use since none of the things the teacher is saying is getting in your head. Also, if you give the children an education but no food, they will edventually die because of starvation. CLARA
ReplyDeleteTo connect to economic for the price f one missile you can feed a school full of hungry children every day for 5 years.
ReplyDeleteSarah
I agree with clara because if you give the children an education but no food they will die because of starvation and the education isn't going to help. Also I do think this is the most important goal to stop hunger and poverty because many kids in different countries and even here in Canada die because they are poor, and don't have food to eat and if they go to school they can't concentrate because they have stomach pain. This is a huge problem because many kids don't have food to eat for days and they start getting really fat and all this fat is actually air or bugs because they don't drink clean water and this water might have bugs and their stomach gets full of air because they don't eat. This is really sad and sometimes we don't think about it but maybe one of the kids in our school or even class could be poor and sometimes have to skip a meal because they don't have enough food for their whole family and maybe that person lives in a shelter. Like Clara sayd always put ourselves in their shoes.
ReplyDeleteLisette
I think the most important Millennium Development Goal is to end poverty and hunger.
ReplyDeleteTo end hunger is important because to stay healthy you must eat and drink properly. Many people in the third world countries have food or clean water. Ending hunger will help them stay healthy to take care of their families who are sick. Ending poverty would mean you have money to buy food to stay healthy and shelter for your families.
PEPS
Physically, ending hunger will mean that you are physically fit you have energy and your healthy because of the food that has been provided for you. Being healthy would give you energy to take care of your family who could be ill.
Ending hunger & poverty is related to POLITICS because, depending where you are in the world whether you have a president or a mayor as a leader, they are in charge of the Government in a way as your Government they must protect the citizens and help them to grow a better community. They could provide food or
Ending Poverty & Hunger is also related to ECONOMICS because in some parts of the world the only way for you to survive and help provide food it must be bought and to buy food you have to money and that's where economics comes in.
Last but not least SOCIAL, this is related to ending poverty and hunger because to take one seriously you would need more than one person. For example if I were living in a small town and I thought that it wasn't fair that we have to walk a gazillion meters to the water fountain to collect water, if I were to tell the mayor that it wasn't fair he or she would think "oh this is just one person complaining" If they were more people who have the same complaint as I do, would then the mayor finally see that the community was complaining and take action on it. Everyone would help each other out.
I admit I do take these two goals for granted. I do complain and whine about stuff I want, I do complain about the food I eat and I regret those actions. In Conclusion, I think Milliennium's Development goal to end poverty and hunger is most important.
YASMINE d[~_~]b ♫
Even though I am suppost to only choose one of the eight MDGs but I thought that these were the most important ones:
ReplyDelete-povery
-hunger
-education
I think that poverty would go under political because the government needs to step in to help the children get out of child labour. Since they are in poverty their parents send them to work in factories and mines to help the family. Hunger would go under political because once agein the government should be sending food to families and/or encouraging people to help the families that arent able to afford food them selfs.
I also think that education is a very important one out of the eight MDGs. I think that it would go under economics because to get into school you would have to pay, and most families cant afford to send their choldren to school so instead they are sending them to work.
(a.k.a, child labour)
Talia :o)
Hey Yasmine. What do you mean by how poverty and hunger is related to physical because physical is about the natural resouces and the land form in that area? CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important Millennium Development Goal is to end poverty and hunger.I think this goal is important because many people in different countries die because they are not able to eat food at the propper amount of times and this could cause greatly big problems and health issues to these children.
ReplyDeleteLISETTE
I agree with Lisette because i think that the most important Millennium Development Goal is to end poverty and hunger. I think that because when you are in poverty you can't buy food, shelter, water and again like Lisette said this will cause health issues because; when you can't afford food you get something called anorexia whitch bassicly means that you are dying of starvation.
ReplyDeleteEmily :)
To continue off my last post of why I think ending hunger and poverty is the most important goal...
ReplyDeleteEnding world hunger Millennium Developmental Goal relates to the physical of PEPS, because the people of the country might not have food or clean water because of how the land is, or the climate there. For example if the climate is very hot, very little will grow there, if it is very cold, the same thing will happen. It relates to the economical of PEPS, because it costs money to buy food, and so the people in poverty struggle to survive on $1.00 a day, and find themselves spending it just so they can buy food to feed themselves and their family. It relates to Political because the country's government might not be providing proper support for the people of the country, and they find themselves without the resources they need to survive. Lastly, this relates to Social of PEPS because some people might try to immigrate to another country, say Canada, and find themselves still impoverished because they don't know how to speak the language, and they have no money left. Aurora
Hey Talia!I don't think you have to pay for education because it is a LAW that you have to get one. I agree with you though on how parents are sending thier children to work because they are in poverty and I think that we should help make a difference to help them break out of poverty so children just like us can get an education. CLARA :D
ReplyDeleteI have not changed my mind I still think that ending Poverty and Hunger is the most important Millenium Development goal because without food to eat you can die and the worst thing is you don't die instantly you die slowly, and slowly by slowly you start starving to death. Ever since we got this Millenium Development question before I am about to throw my food away I think about those kids the same age as you and I and how they would just wish to have at least that little bit of left over we don't want anymore and this changes my mind and makes me realize I should finish my food even if it is not that tasty for me. We need to think in others before do things. My grandma always use to tell me when you don't understand someone always try to put yourself in their shoe and then you will notice how they feel and then even if you haven't gone thru it you would still be able to relate to them. All the time when we are going to do something n omatter what it is we should think how is this going to effect someone and or soemthing. By doing this we CAN make a CHANGE in this WORLD.
ReplyDeleteLISETTE
I think that Enviromental Sustainability is the most important MDG because if we repaired the planet, then there would be more food to go around and less people would be hungry. Also, if we don't fix things soon, in 2050, when were all like 50 or 51 years old (yeah,we're gonna be alive) the world may be completely ruined already and it will be a total wasteland....
ReplyDeleteElisabeth >:)
Elisabeth, can you please expand on how there would be more food to go around fi we repair the planet becasue I don't understand that. Thanks Clara
ReplyDeleteWith a strong environment plants and animals will have a easier time growing which will help the populations of these plants increase,Which will have a effect on us considering that we eat some plants and animals.With this much of these plants and animals we can supply the world.
ReplyDeleteOh, now I get it. Thanks Natasha for explaining it to me. CLARA :D
