1. The first issue is racism . This issue matters to me because I have seen other people, especially some of my friends being judged or disrespected for the color of their skin. In my opinion this issue can be addressed by showing others that everyone is not that different from each other and the color of someone's skin shouldn't be used to judge people as we are all human.
2. The second issue is poverty. This issue matters to me because I always see many people out in the streets asking for food or money. I also have experienced seeing a homeless man digging the garbage looking for food to eat. The moment I seen that one person get food from the trash and eat made me feel bad for the situation they are in. At the end of the day we don't know the stories of these people and they don't want to be in the situation they are in either. In my opinion this issue can be addressed by donating food to the shelters as well as just helping out in the community and see what can be done to be part of the solution. 3. The third issue is animal abuse. This issue matters to me because I care about animals and I have seen videos of abused animals. I also see many animals in the streets who are abandoned by their owners. In my opinion animals should be taken care of as they are live creatures. They shouldn't just be abused and abandoned. Owners have the responsiblity to care for their pets. I believe that those who abuse animals shouldn't be able to own one. In my opinion to fix this issue, those who want to get pets should be educated about pets and what it takes to care for them. Most people who get pets don't realize that it is a huge respnsibility. Those who can't take those responsibilities just end up abandoning their pets or just abuse them as they get tired of them. We can't forget thet are are live creatures and should be taken care of like family. EMAIL: [email protected] OR [email protected]

The contemporary issues that I have chosen which are racism, poverty, and animal abuse reflect my values because I value equality. In my opinion everyone should be viewed equal. The color of one’s skin should not be viewed as a bad thing because I think that our differences is what makes us unique and it is what gives us our identity. People shouldn’t be judged by the color of their skin, what matters most is a persons attitude. The people in poverty should be given a chance and also should not be judge because in my opinion they did not choose to be in that situation. Just because some people are less fortunate, they should be judged and discriminated. Instead of judging people and looking down on them, we should help bring them up and help in every way we can to help them and their lives become a bit better. Animal abuse reflects my values because I value my pets. I view all animals like humans. I believe they deserve their rights to not be abused and treated fairly. Just because they can’t speak up that doesn’t mean they can be abused. It is not right, animals are living things too! My contemporary issues reflect my passions because I am passionate about helping people as well as animals. I am also passionate about making a change in lessening and hopefully being able to eliminate racism. My contemporary issues also reflect my interests because I really like to help. I like helping almost everyone in need as well as anything. I think that my CI’s and future career goals compliment this article because I will be able to enjoy my job and gain personal satisfaction by being able to help.
In my opinion, I think universities can play a role in helping those in poverty by having students or anyone at the universities donate food for the less fortunate, volunteer in homeless shelters, help serve in the food banks, and just set up simple performances to just brighten their dan, and make them forget their problems even just for a small amount of time. Everyone at the university can help with this issue as everyone has something to offer. In my opinion I think all of the departments, centers, programs or student organizations can all work together to be able to help those in poverty by donating or my simple volunteering. This reflects my understanding of “higher education” by allowing kids who are in poverty have the opportunity to go to school as I believe that even though you lose everything as long as you have your education and knowledge, you are entitled to achieve anything you want as long as you work hard.
In my opinion, I think universities can play a role in animal abuse by having the power and voice to let people know about the problem and also to have a voice to speak out for the abused animals to where abuse can be minimized. In my opinion anyone can help with the problem as humans have the voice and power to speak up and address the problem that is often not acknowledged. Those who are concerned about animals at the university can be a big help in helping address the problem. I can participate by using my voice and also volunteering at animal shelters to just spend time with abandoned dogs who deserve much more than they receive. This reflects my understanding of “higher education” because by speaking about this problem that most people don’t often realize or know about, we are able to educate them about the problem. In my opinion, I think universities can play a role in racism by also using their power and voice to let everyone know that racism is not humane. People who are often a target of racism deserve their freedom and equality that they deserve and what was fought hard for. Anyone in the university can help and be a solution to helping stop racism by making racists realize that what their doing is wrong and it is hurting so many people that don’t deserve it at all. This reflects my understanding of “higher education” because with our power and voice we are able to educate racists that it is not okay to judge and discriminate people. In the end we are all human. Everyone deserve the right to not be identified by the color of their skin. 1. Poverty -A day in the life of students living in poverty. Goals of higher education would be to stay in school & get motivation and support from peers. Surround yourself with supportive people. 2. Animal Abuse -Go to animal shelters, spend time with the animals. Animals lessen stress and they can be stress relievers. Students in college can visit these animals to get their mind off school for a bit as animals can be therapeutic, especially with exams coming up. 3. Racism -Raise awareness for racism, students who experience racism can become bothered and unfocused in class. Students need to be more nice to each other and not judge other people as everyone of us is human. Online Session Week 4My contemporary issues don’t reflect who I am but it reflects the people I care about which includes some of my family members, friends, and other people who are close to my heart. My contemporary issues are Poverty, LGBT Community, Black Lives Matter, Racism, Abortion and Animal Abuse. These are problems throughout the world that people often hate on and disapprove of them. Throughout the world there are many people living in poverty and are not provided the necessities they need to survive. People living in poverty are sometimes unnoticed and discriminated by people because of their status, looks, where they live, etc. I believe that even though we are not all equal in class, we should still be equal in how people view us, because at the end of the day we are all humans. People in the LGBT community are also often discriminated and not accepted in some areas. We should learn to accept other people for who they are and want to be. I agree that we can’t please everyone, but people shouldn’t be discriminated and looked down on for showing their true identity. The Black Lives Matter is important to be because I often see innocent people getting hurt, killed, and put behind bars just because of their color. These people are not being given the rights that they earned and deserve that they have long fought for. Racism is also important to me because we are all just humans who come from different parts of the world. People shouldn’t be looked down upon for their looks and where they came from and instead be more friendly and learn more about different cultures and people. People should learn how to accept other people and not just be racists towards them for being “different”. Animal Abuse is also an issue because as an owner of two dogs, I believe that they have feelings just like us humans. There are many animals all over the world that are abused and unnoticed. This issue is not often talked about or on the news, but it is something that goes on everyday. Animals do not deserve to be abused as they are as innocent as can be. Abortion is a big problem that we face today and even before. Everyday, every minute, every second there is a life that is being deprived of living. This is a problem because many innocent fetus’ are often aborted and should be given their right to live.
