Black Lives Matter - March in Auckland

Here is my short paragraph of my opinion about the march that happened in Auckland last Saturday:

I think that the people who went protesting were somewhat in the right but should
not have breached the guidelines of exceeding more than 100 people. They had
put their lives and others lives at risk as well. I believe that yes we should
support the #BlackLivesMatter protest but we also have to keep in mind that we
are too social-distance to help prevent this virus. So i’d say i’m half and half
because while trying to prevent something else from happening they put
themselves and others in danger of catching the virus.

Blog : Life after Lockdown in Level 2 :

One thing I know for sure that I'm looking forward to is going shopping again. I really missed shopping because I like shopping for clothes. I also look forward to seeing my friends because these past few weeks have been a little lonely. But I have mixed feelings about school. The reason being is because it's really easy to do school online like I can just wake up and go to school and no one would have to know. But it is harder to ask the teachers questions because the question may not make sense and its hard to explain. So I think going into lockdown would be a good thing for me, and my grades.

Social Studies: Current Events COVID-19

So from this news article, I've learnt that Counties Manukau has been given the most
warnings and most youth referrals, but Canterbury has the most prosecution. But yes
Manukau has been seen as the worst offenders for alert level 3. The story talks about
how people have been breaching the guidelines.

I feel that since I am used to staying at home, I don't really feel like going back to
school. I also feel that since the weather has become colder I feel like working in my
bed. But I have a problem, I always get distracted which is really bad for my education.
I am also sick of staying at home all the time and the only time I usually walk is to and
from school. So yeah I have mixed feeling about going into alert level 2.

Social Studies - Key Concept: Haka

Imagine you need to write an English version of a HAKA to include the many different nations in N.Z - what would it say? Don’t forget to post this to your blog!!

We live, We die, We fight, We fight We Are United As One We live, We die, We fight, We fight We are the people of New Zealand

My perspective on the haka is that being someone from New Zealand I think we have the right to do a haka before the all blacks game. Why you may ask is because as the country had been found by the indigenous people of Maori descendants and I think that to represent our country we should you something more ancient and mean a lot to the people of NZ. Should the All Blacks be allowed to perform the haka at games? Yes, I think that they should be allowed to perform the haka.

Key Concepts - Terms and Definitions

Globalization: To me, globalization means like worldwide and like it involves the majority of the world. Globalization actually means the world becoming interconnected by trade and culture exchange. An example of something that has affected us globally is COVID-19. It has spread rapidly around the world so it makes it a global issue. 🌍🌎🌏


Modernisation: To me, modernisation means like everything has become more advanced and like what we live in now is different to the society from like 50 years ago. Modernization actually means the transformation of a traditional society into a modern one. An example is that back in the day's phones had wires and you'd only use them for calls but in the modern world we have phones everywhere and they give off different uses.

Perspectives: To me perspectives is like having your own opinion on a given topic and that the opinions may differ from person to person. Perspectives actually means a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something. An example of a perspective is like elections because you may think one party is the obvious choice because you see that they can help change the society but someone else may think that a different party is the better option because they don't think things need to be changed.

Lockdown Holiday

Social Studies New Term Lockdown Paragraph:

Something I found interesting is that the roads are much quieter and probably how I see
people walking around the evening time. Something I found challenging is not being able
to see my family in Glen Innes because I am in Manukau staying with my dad(My parents
are together but mum looks after my nana). I do not like digital learning because I don’t
usually do homework and this feels like I’m doing homework. It is very different from what
I’m used to but also very alike because it just feels like the summer holidays except we can
’t go anywhere as a family and we have done more cooking because fast foods are closed.

Last Friday I saw an ambulance in the driveway of my next-door neighbours, however, I
don’t think it was that serious because no one was carried out on the stretcher. I find that
spending time with family is enjoyable because we get to watch movies together and
playing cards. I like playing Crash and P’s & A’s but we always the card game beanie (These are card games).
