SNEAK PEAK ON SDG's

 Hey guys and welcome to my blog again. This time I am going to share with you guys the knowledge that i just learnt in my previous class. I could not wait to tell because I have got so many exciting, interesting, knowledgeable things that i gained from my last class. So, are you guys excited to know it? Let's get started!

So, in my previous class, my lecturer emphasize on the basic or foundation of Sustainable Development Goals in order for us to get to know it better. I learnt about the Systemic Thinking which I never knew of it before. Let me share some things that i understood from the word Systemic. In my own view, I understand that Systemic is that we do something in an organized way so that in whatever we are doing, we will do it step by step. In other words, I could say that systemic thinking is like we will have various solutions in order to solve the problems. Instead of only providing the solutions blindly, we could somehow used the technique of systemic thinking as this will help us to understand more on the problems and then we could develop some strategic and meaningful solutions to the problems. Meanwhile, linear thinker is focusing more on the solutions and not to discover the problems that caused it. By any chance that you want to understand more on the systemic thinking and how it works, then you can just click on the link below. Also, I do prepare a content showing the difference between the systemic thinker and linear thinker.

Now, let's move on to the next lessons that i read up on this fascinating topic. So, the 6 fundamentals concept of systemic thinking really caught my eyes as one of the fundamentals does make me realized that every single objects in this world, be it inanimate objects is connected or I can say that all objects in this whole world are relying to each other. Let me give you an example, a paper. Have you ever thought from where are the papers we used today come from? Yes, definitely true it is trees. So, papers would need for trees to grow in order to provide woods to produce it. But, if humans always do illegal deforestation, then the trees would not grow and this will give a huge impact on the production of papers.  

Sustainable? Have you discover on the real meaning of this word? In my own perspective, what i could understand from the word sustainable is that maintaining the needs for our own without destroying the needs for future generations. So, how can we sustain our world now regardless of the problems that we faced today like poverty and gender inequality? Surely, there must be ways. That is why the whole world are now encouraging all people from all over the worlds to cooperate together in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) program. 

Throughout my class last week, I have been exposed to the 17 Goals of SDG's and ways on how we could participate in order to succeed the goals. To be honest, there are so many things that we could do in order to change our world for a better place to live. It's just that maybe you are not exposed to it yet. So without further ado, let's take a look on some solutions that all of us are able to do regardless of your ages. 

First and foremost, I gain an understanding that literally we cannot waste food just because we didn't like the taste. It is because the source for the food that we eat nowadays is not something that we could get easily. For example, the rice that we eat is coming from the paddy which is harvested for almost three months. Here, we can see that the paddy needs lots of time in order to grow. So, instead of throwing it away, we could minimize the wasted food. In other words, just eat whatever we have. Secondly, in order to save our money from buying vegetables at the market, we could just plant our own vegetables around our house. This could save you RM200 at least. Thirdly, we need to always practice energy conservation regardless wherever we are, be it our house or our workplace or even at the public. What can we do to conserve the energy? Only switch on the lights or fans when you need it, but when you are leaving that place, do switch it off. Other than that, always unplug your chargers as soon as the battery is fully charged, or not in used to avoid the chargers from drawing power.  

Actually, there are still lots of ways on how you could participate yourself in order to succeed the mission of the goals. But i guess my blog today will only be covered until here. Thank you so much for spending your precious time to read the contents of my blog. Till then, see you in my next blog
