What Is The Importance Of Spreading Knowledge To The Community

Improved Essays
“Think globally, act locally” a straight to the point slogan that everybody has, or should have, heard does not have as straight forward of a definition. To me this means one should always strive towards a stronger state of global health starting right in their respective communities. Just think, it has to start somewhere with someone; and that somewhere and someone could be you and me right here at Pfeiffer.
If you try to start at the broad scale of the total world population, which is over 7 billion now, you might seek triumph but in the end feel crushed. You cannot make the world better as a whole starting with trying to change everybody but if you work towards spreading knowledge to the community they can help you make a bigger impact in other places to start these big changes.

This can include something as small as trying to clean up your neighborhood to evolve into something as large as preventing global warming. Without starting in your community and letting the people know that a change in behavior is needed in the world you will not be able to have support from others. Initiating a clean-up around the community and talking about the possible further precautions and activities to help the community can lead to people on a wider scale to join in. After getting everybody in the community involved you may be able to move up to neighboring communities or even an entire

    When thinking about this, a few examples come to mind. For starters, I am on the soccer team. Soccer games usually get very heated. By remaining calm and showing my teammates and the other team what it means to search for peace in any given situation I can do my part in aiding the transformation of culture on the soccer field. When Mouw talks about sharing in the life of the poor, I can translate this concept to my college life by going out of my way to sit by someone in class or at lunch who rarely has someone to talk to.…

    Health isn’t only a personal necessity it is also an economic necessity to a growing country. Farmer’s work connects to global health connections many times in his life. A stand out example read was when he was stating to Kiddler that he doesn’t like to think of himself from a specific place because we are all apart of the same planet. If you think about humans created these fake lines of territories but, we are all connected by land or ocean. Disease or war isn’t going to stop right when it hits another territory it’s going to continue to spread and cause an academic.…

    Create Change Esther Dyson once said, “Change Means That What Was Before Wasn’t Perfect People Want Things To Be Better”. Even if one person creates changes in his or her society at a global, national, or community level in a positive way, will make this world a better place. Each individual can create changes in his or her society, unless he/she feels that it is important to society, that an action must be needed and the action that they going to propose in order for changes to happen. The changes that I want it to happen are; to have free schooling for students from kindergarten to twelve grade all over the world, along with women’s right to an education, offer free health care and helping homeless…

    When making changes we cannot only look at the big picture. We must sit down and look at who it is affecting and the possible outcomes. The example of the Flint water crisis shows how a simple alteration can turn into disastrous outcomes and even death. To get the situation under control, the city of Flint and the State of Michigan must come together as one. They will need to get rid of all toxic water to make the living environments safe for all of their citizens.…

    It all comes down to realization, and whether people choose to believe in this circle of feelings that is passed on throughout the entire world. Richelle E. Goodrich, an Eastern Washington University Alumni claims, “You are here to make a difference, to either improve the world or worsen it. And whether or not you consciously choose to, you will accomplish one or the other.”. The world consists of a ripple effect of emotions and attitudes. If someone chooses to surround themselves with negative people they will become negative, same with positivity.…

    First I would like to say that Johns letter to his son hit me very close to the heart, it is very beautiful and heartfelt containing so much meaning. I think john is showing his son he can be different and have an impact on the world by always choosing love, in my opinion to love another is the supreme sacrifice of self. For we must give freely and completely of ourselves to another, without reservation or condition. To give less serves only to hinder the growth of our evolution from self sustaining isolation to a greater joining of universal awareness. As children we love by instinct but it is a selfish love.…

    What does one of the greatest authors of all time know? A lot! The man who wrote amazing novels, such as War and Peace, and lived an incredible 82 years through many of the 1800's and ten years of the 1900's, had a knack for seeing things as they were, including how people's actions determined their purpose and character in life. He believed that everyone was accountable for themselves, and he believed that one person could influence the world - which he did and still does to this day. Following are some Leo Tolstoy quotes that resonated with me.…

    A community is a particular group of people living in the same place that have a certain characteristic in common. The lives of the people who live in communities are closely related and involved with one another. The community to a certain extent can define the lives of the people who live in it.

    The natural sciences are very much paradigmatic in nature. As outlined by Thomas Kuhn, the natural sciences are revolutionary as opposed to “normal”; Kuhn argues that in “normal science”, scientific progress is limited to the scope of the current paradigm itself. Revolutionary science deals with paradigm shifts, in which there is a change in the basic assumptions of a scientific theory. Paradigmatic thinkers, however, are often disregarded and brushed off due to their dynamic views. For example, the earth was thought to be flat for was widely accepted until Pythagoras introduced a spherical model.…

    Once again we come to the scene of an environmental and economic argument. I think it is demonstrated on the news and in many scholarly settings. I liked the contrast in options offered in the two videos that we witnessed in the video. The opinion held by a majority of the democratic community is that the earth is on the fast track to self-destruction, and anyone who denies this is inhibiting the world of opportunity and time to heal is selfish and immoral. On the opposing side the republicans view the democrats as a having an agenda, which ultimately feeds their need for funding for environmental research and projects.…

    While I have only lived on this planet for a relatively brief time, I have been able to get an idea of how our world is progressing as well as what we can do to impact how we change it. As it stands, the world seems to be going downhill with increasing speed. This is largely in part due to the ways in which we interact with others, ourselves, and how we treat the world on a global scale. With the world evolving as we too change, it is fundamentally important that we better ourselves so that the world may follow suit. There are many different approaches in which we can improve ourselves, but there is one way that holds the most prevalence to me: logic.…
