Today me and my class watched a consumer that’s it 

 Today we watched a video in Social Studies called “Consumerism”.  The video was an animated story about consumerism, consumerism is when marketers make new products and social force people to buy a new product.  The main message I got from that video is that consumerism is a big problem globally.  The process of consumerism leads to a lot of pollution.

 Today we viewed a video in our Social Studies class called “Consumerism”.  The video was an animated story about consumerism and how we get pressured to get the latest phone, clothes, cars. The main message I got from this video was you dont always have to have the latest stuff and it doesnt matter if you don’t have the latest stuff and at the end of the day they all the same thing.

In social studies we have been learning about NZ exported products. I was required to make a slideshow and answer a few questions. For our NZ Export product we chose to research alcohol, we chose to do this subject because it is a well known product around the world and also around NZ , another reason why we chose this product is because it is easy to research about and also cause everybody loves it.

For the past week we have been researching export products in New Zealand and the companies that make those products. So I will reflect about my nz exported products mahi. We created a slide putting in a bunch of information. We had to find the top 10 nz export products and their worth. We also had to find the total worth of nz export products in the world for every year from 2018-2021. Another thing we had to do is pick one nz export product and research about it. The product I chose was aluminium and the company I chose was NZAS. In New Zealand it is used very frequently, it is bought lots and keeps food fresh. I got to learn more about my country and what products are bought the most, I also learnt where it is sold all over the world and trust me when I say this al ot of countries sell it. I also got a better understanding of how things are exported to other countries from NZ to around the world. Overall I think learning about this made me understand more about economy, products and how things are shipped to other countries, cities, towns etc. So I did learnt a lot from this topic and hope to do it again.

 Main message about consumerism from this video

Consumerism

In my opinion, It is an absorbing video that has many captivating insights about the consequences of consumerism, it just as well represents future side effects too. We are digging the earth for all its resources yet most of it is used but then wasted after its years or gone and sent to a landfill. While we gather the resources of our devices, we are also ruining our environments. Ecosystems in the process are forced to leave or killed in their homes because people are destroying their habitats. These are just a few examples of people who harm the things that make places truly beautiful for their own self centered benefits.

Globalization is the growing interdependence of this world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information.

Coal is used as a fuel to generate electricity. The heat produced from the heated coal is used to convert water into steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity.

  So in social studies we are learning about culture and some key terms about culture. So here is my mind map on culture.

 In this unit Tikanga-a-iwi I’ve been working on creating a Papatuanuku animation. I made a acoustic poem which supports the words that represents Papatuanuku. Here is a music audio that can some what make this poem more interesting.

 Video:)

A thread,a rope,The invisible link between us all,Connected by soul,The whispering call

Shinning stars twinkle above,Our ancestors watching,With the eye of the crescent moon,

Natures melody,The sweet birds,Our link with Papatuanuku,Has always been heard,

A thread,a rope,A quiet trail,Linked together,connected.   

 In social studies we are making poems and animations about papatuanuku.

 Papatuanuku is grass and she is cool. She helps keep us alive, keep her healthy or we will die.

 Kia ora. I would like to blog about my mahi I have been doing in Social Studies recently. I have created a animation based on a poem I created about Papatūānuku and the environment. I would like to share with you all my animation slide and my screencastify. Enjoy.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents. While scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as muscular dystrophy, the cause of most childhood scoliosis is unknown. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow.

the primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10-15 years old, occurring equally among both genders. This can also be past down through your family. I’ve researched and found online that “Strong evidence suggests that scoliosis runs in families. Nearly a third of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have a family history of the condition, and first-degree relatives of scoliosis patients have an 11 percent chance of developing it themselves”
