Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?


 * What __really__ makes up your identity? Every ones identity is composed of our believes, hobbies, and characteristics.For me, my identity is all about the knowledge I've leaned since the time I was born. I've been a Christian for about 3 and a half years now. My hobbies are chatting with friends on the internet, watching TV, and read fiction books for fun, also, I enjoy watching movies with friends. To describe my characteristic in three words, it would probably be friendly, bright, and out going.


 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

**I would like to be at a place where there is blue sky, less pollution, so that I can see stars at night, I would like to be at a place with lots of trees, but no bugs, with birds flying around, laying on the grass, and think about all the great, funny, wonderful memories.**


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?


 * Subjects I especially enjoy I work very well with others and tend to take leadership. However, sometimes I would go over-board and turn a little bossy. Human rights is what I believe in. Everyone in the group should have a chance to excel in this subject; we have similarities, we have differences, however, overall, I KNOW we are in a team, and they are on my side whether I like it or not. **


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


 * No matter how hideous the situation is, I always looks at the bright side, I don't know what will come up, or what challenges we are about to face, but I can always bring positive attitude to the group. Also, I tend to be a quick learner, for example,my friends have been playing a strategical and reaction-related game for more than a week, and it only took me two days to beat there high score and kept it that way for longer then they've played this game. **


 * 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?

**I believe the major concerns in Asia is the problem of Mitigating Natural Disasters. However, as a 16 year old, I can not help this situation. This is why I have completed a forum with preambulatory clauses and operative clauses that I am determined I will complete these tasks in the future or later on in life:**

**Reminding all member states, of the fact that people are killed by the natural disasters in countries developed or not,**

**Fully aware that a number of studies state that weather-related disasters are occurring countries near the ocean.**

**Stressing that only a few countries are fully aware and are taking action into issue,**

**Realizing that research shows that the economic losses from natural disasters have increased from $75.5 billion during the 60’s to $660 billion in the 90’s,**

**1. __Strongly encourages__ all member states to mitigate natural disasters by means such as but not limited to:**

**a. Provide emergency first aid team for each nation**

**i. High tech medical health care to citizens harmed and architectural damage created**

**ii. This can be completed with the help of NGO’s**

**b. NGO’s such as Habitat For Humanity (HFH) can provide sheltered and stable homes to citizens who modern-day infrastructures.**

**2. __Encourages__ all educational programs and schools to teach students how to be protected for a risk reduction for the future generation,**

**a. Carrying out school activities about this problem with the participation of the community.**

**i. teaching families and community about natural hazards and encouraging them to take preventive measures.**

**b. Helping establish a long lasting ‘culture of prevention’, both through action and new attitudes.**

**i. When the students become adults, they will have a greater understanding of natural phenomena,**

**ii. The effects of human actions and the consequences of poor environmental management, as well as the need to promote a new kind of development in greater harmony with nature.**

**3. __Calls upon__ all member states to mitigate natural disasters by means such as but not limited to:**

**a. Building emergency shelters in suspected disaster locations especially in less developed nations or high-risk areas,**

**b. A hazard mitigation plan is a long- term strategy for reducing disaster losses.**

**i. Have stricter land-planning engineers who have come up with designs to make structures stronger and safer to live in.**

**ii. This could be achieved with the help of NGOs, UNOs or member states.**

**4. __Solemnly Requests__ the government to play a role in this major worldwide concern,**

**a. Providing the money for scientific research in foreseeing and counteracting natural disasters.**

**b. Create a durable hospital and donating a first-aid team for backup,**

**5. __Strongly Condemns__ organizations of the United Nations system involved in the funding and the provision of assistance relevant to the prevention of emergencies should be provided with sufficient and readily available resources.**

**6. __Asks for__ delegates of the DMI (Disasters Management International) to decrease damages such as but not limited to:**

**a. Send out representatives to educate the general public about,**

**i. Prevention and Preparedness programs**

**ii. Hazard & Security vulnerability and threat analysis**

**b. To manage some of the catastrophic events imaginable**

**7. __Further Requests__ for supplies should be advanced to the functioning organizations of the system on the understanding that they would repay the fund in the first instance from the charitable contributions received in response to combined appeals.**

**8. __Urges__ the foster scientific and engineering actions aimed at closing critical gaps in knowledge in order to reduce loss of life and property,**

**9. __Expresses its hope__ that families should have proper utility such as:**

**a. Each family member to having a spare change of clothes, including waterproof boots and a raincoat.**

**b. Every family should have an emergency kit in their home if,**

**i. An earthquake or hurricane occurs, for instance, there could be a power-cut or the water could get polluted.**

**ii. NGO’s (non-governmental organizations) and UNO’s should be able to account this.**


 * 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?


 * Leadership: Every person who has the courage to step up and believe something that others might not be aware of has leadership. If humanity lacked leadership, the general public would not at all be civilized. **


 * Integrity: Every leader must have this quality. Integrity. Integrity is, in my opinion, one of the most important qualities of a successful person. Just remember: a liar is not a leader. **


 * Respect: Respect everyone. It frustrates me sometimes to see how we do not at all realize the importance of human rights. Everyone deserves to be heavily respected by their peers. We are a civilized nation. Lets act like it. **


 * Responsibility: Responsibility is a heavy factor when we are talking about success. Respect and leadership all fall into responsibility. **


 * Courage: I believe in stepping up and saying something different. I believe in helping others even when it puts a risk on me. I believe in believing in myself. Moreover, I believe in courage. **

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.

Beijing is the place where I grown up at, so no matter how it looks, its still beautiful in my heart, but I still think it does represent the beauty that Beijing has.
 * 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?

when I look at this picture, it doesn't remind me of Beijing directly, but I was at Beijing when I heard about her, she's an famous person from the internet, almost every one in china knows her, she is self confident, warm, and also friendly, which I think represents every one from china.


 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?

This statue is an famous person from the past called Kong Zi, also, its a statue in front of BRS, a place where I will be studing for about 3 years, so I think it is really important to me, it also unique because no other schools has an statue of Kong Zi.


 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

If the Olympics that happened in 2008 in Beijing counts as an cultural event, then yes.

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?

There are a few problems in different places in china, one of them is toxic pollution, it has risked over 100 million people, particularly children, in low- and middle-income countries. I believe this is a problem that we can solve during our lifetime. Another problem is the local water supplies, high in the headwaters of major river systems, by small abandoned metal mines and processing facilities. Last, the local pollution problems are severe and because heavy metals do not degrade in the environment.

What can you do to be address the issue?

What is the global impact of your local issue?
