. What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project? I get along well with others but I don’t talk a lot so sometimes I don’t share a lot of ideas

 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?


 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?

There are a lot of stray cats in my mom’s neighborhood. The cats need to be taken to an animal shelter and hopefully after they get there shots people would want to adopt them

You have to be determined and strong willed. You can’t be negative and give up easily.
 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

You mentioned a new problem that I had not read previously on anyone else's page. I think it's an interesting one. There do seem to be a lot of cats that go without homes. What do you think leads to that and what are ways that we can make sure the cats get the care they need? - Mr. Gore

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

My first picture is a picture of pine trees. Pine trees represents my sense of place because where I live there are a lot of pine trees escpecially in my back yard. My second picture is picture of lake johnson. When I was little my mom used to take me and my brother to lake johnson and we would look at the lake and play on the playground. My last picture is a picture of the recreation center at carolina pines park. I live right across the street from carolina pines. I have gone to camp their since I was 6 years old.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? stray cats in my neighborhood.

What can you do to be address the issue? talk to the office people in my neighborhood and ask them if they could talk to animal shelter that might take the cats.

What is the global impact of your local issue? more and more cats are homeless and if animal shelters take action and shelter animals then more cats and other animals will have a home.
